- The port sector is currently growing at a fast pace, surpassing even pre-pandemic volumes. Cargo traffic movement has exhibited strong growth, with both major and non-major ports recording around 10 per cent growth in the first quarter of 2022-23, as against the corresponding period in 2021-22.
- The government has been working towards addressing stakeholder concerns to encourage private participation in the sector. The past 12-15 months have been quite eventful, with a slew of initiatives undertaken, including guidelines for the early resolution of stuck PPP projects at major ports, the Tariff Guidelines 2021, new model concession agreement (MCA) for PPP projects at major ports, and the Draft Indian Ports Bill 2022. The aim is to increase competition and provide a level playing field to the private sector.
- Modernisation, mechanisation and digitalisation are taking centre stage as ports strive to become smart. Technology solutions such as enterprise business systems, radio frequency identification technology, port community systems and vessel traffic management are being implemented to drive operational efficiencies. Port terminal operators are also deploying gate automation and truck movement automation systems to streamline the evacuation of cargo from ports and ease connectivity.
- There also lies a big opportunity in transforming India into a transhipment hub, as currently, nearly 75 per cent of the trans-shipment cargo is handled at ports outside the country. To this end, the government has taken up proposals for developing Galathea Bay at Great Nicobar Islands and Cochin Port as trans-shipment facilities.
- Moreover, the Gati Shakti National Master Plan and the National Logistics Policy, will prove to be game changers for the port sector and reduce the overall logistics cost.
- Going forward, the Maritime India Vision 2030 envisions an overall investment of Rs 3 trillion-Rs 3.5 trillion across the ports, shipping and inland waterways segments. This is expected to offer huge opportunities to developers/operators, consultants, equipment and material providers, financiers, technology providers, etc.
- The mission of this conference is to discuss the key trends and developments in the port sector, highlight the new initiatives, and identify the upcoming opportunities for stakeholders. The conference will also showcase some of the emerging technology solutions being deployed to enhance operational efficiency.
