All for Coastal Shipping and Inland Waterways
Need to make the right moves, and right now
▶ It is estimated that using the right infrastructure and institutional support, India can coastally move 155 to 160 MMTPA of coal,and save around INR 6,500 Crores per annum, by 2020.
▶ This will help to save 1 lakh rail-rake days that can be used for other commodities.▶ Since logistics contribute 30 to 35 percent of the cost of power generation, this initiative will also directly cut power costs by
50 paisa per unit for coastal power plants fed coal coastally.▶ More than 90 percent of the rail routes relevant to coal are running at over 100 percent utilization.▶ With the expected ramp-up in coal production by Coal India Limited, India may need to move 1,000 to 1,200 MMTPA coal
across the country by 2025, creating tremendous pressure on the already congested railways.▶ A similar comparison of logistics cost for plant to demand centre for ve other key commodities—POL, steel, cement,
fertilizers, and food grains reveals a total potential of 70 to 80 MMTPA coastal movement▶
Potential savings of INR 4,500-5,600 Crores per annum for the above commodities▶ It is estimated that coastal shipping of about 180-200 MMTPA can be achieved from current and planned capacities across
coal, cement, iron and steel, food grains, fertilizers, POL by 2025.▶ This would translate into estimated INR 10,000-15,000 Crores saving annually.
Making a beginning – Inland Waterways and Coastal Shipping to bear fruit soon
▶ Speaking at a recent seminar Minister of Shipping, GoI, Mr. Nitin Gadkar emphasised upon the need to reduce logistics cost toenable the success of ‘Make in India’ initiative.
▶ Among the initiatives already on are mechanization, modernisation and capacity addition in the port sector spurred by aninvestment of Rs.80,000 crore. Mr. Gadkari apprised that an Indian Port Rail Company has been established with a thrust onrail road connectivity.
▶ The minister elaborated that 3 new ports i.e. Vadhavan (Maharashtra) with dra of 18 mtrs, Sagar (West Bengal) with dra of14.5 mtrs and Kolachel (Tamil Nadu) with dra of 18.5 mtrs are being developed.
▶ With a renewed focus on developing Inland Waterways which is globally recognized as fuel ecient, cost eective and
environment friendly mode of transport, the Shipping Ministry is building three multi-modal hubs at Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh,Sahibganj in Jharkhand and Haldia in West Bengal, across river Ganga.
▶ Mr. Gadkari informed that there is a proposal to build 2,000 water ports over the next 5 years. Also underway is the initiativeto use LNG as bunker fuel which would reduce the overall cost for the sector.
MARITIME INDIA SUMMIT 2016 | EVENT
PLANTING THE COASTAL ROOT
India’s economy has surged
ahead in recent years. The
pressures of a growing
economy have naturally pushed
its transport system to full
capacity. The movement of
bulk commodities is one of the
major responsibilities of India’s
transportation system. Thermalcoal alone accounts for around
61 percent of the freight volume
on the Indian Railways and 24
percent of the seaport freight mix
A comparison:
Rail to Coastal Shipping
BY RAIL
In 2013–14, nearly 740 MMTPA
of coal moved through the
country predominantly
through rail.
Costs INR 1.2 to 1.4 per tonne km
BY COASTAL SHIPPING
Only 23 MMTPA moved through
coastal shipping
Costs one-sixth that of rail cost
(INR 0.2 per tonne km
Water currently contributes
less than 10 percent to India’s
modal mix. China uses its in-
land waterways to transportraw material and finished goods
between Eastern and Western
provinces; water contributes 24
percent to China’s freight modal
mix. Australia carries 17 percent
of goods through coastal ship-
ping. In Germany, 11 percent of
goods are moved through inland
waterways and coastal ship-
ping. A strong economic case for
coastal movement can be made
for most of the key commodities
in our study.
CREATING COASTAL
INFRASTRUCTURE
One major reason that coastal
shipping has been unable to pick
up in the country is due to the
lack of suitable infrastructure
that enables movement through
coast. Hence availability of dedi-
cated infrastructure will go a long
way in promoting coastal ship-
ping as a mode of freight trans-
portation. Infrastructure at ports
and supporting infrastructure
using rail/road to facilitate coast-
al movement are the immediate
imperatives.
▶ Dedicated coastal shipping berths,bunkering, storage at relevant ports
▶ Creation of supporting transportinfrastructure (e.g., Talcher-Paradiprailway line), slurry pipelines etc
▶ Last mile connectivity projects withindustrial areas
▶ Appropriate ship-repairing ship-repairing/ship-building facilities on keyports; currently most of the ship repairs
happen outside the country
▶ Dedicated capacity eet under shippingcompanies
▶ Management of dedicated coastalberths(if any) and their operations

T r a n s p o r t ,
Highways and
Shipping, Government of India,Chief Guest, in his key note
address appealed to the corporate
sector to have a more direct and
continuous interaction with the
government for improving the
share of coastal shipping. He
stated that it is high time that
“shipping” gets the status of
“infrastructure” and accordingly
should receive fiscal incentives.
Underlining the link between
efficiency of logistics sector
and social welfare in terms of
poverty eradication, Mr. Gadkari
highlighted the importance of
Coastal shipping naming the
Sagarmala Project, and the
employment opportunities for
local youth and its economic
implications.
Ms. Mireille ROMBONI-
LASSERRE, French Regional
Customs Counsellor, Asia/Pacific
mentioned that French Customs
have implemented a single
window systems, integrating17 agencies and it was observed
that 93% custom clearances are
released in less than 5 minutes.
She informed the audience that
France is ranked no. 1 by World
Bank in Ease of Doing Business
for “trading across borders” based
on extensive simplification of
procedures.

1ST SUEZCANAL GLOBAL
CONFERENCEHELD IN CAIRO
The new deeper Suez
Canal will be a ben-
eficiary of the ‘OneBelt One Road’ initia-
tive taken by China’s
charismatic leader Xi Jinping,
especially when it comes to the
opening up of the Iranian market
following the lifting of interna-
tional sanctions and the moving
into importance of the Indian re-
finery markets, according to Denis
Petropoulos, President of Braemar
Shipping Services Asia.
Speaking at the 1st Suez Canal
Global Conference in Cairo, Mr
Petropoulos said ‘One Belt One
Road’ was not just about China but
reached into around 60 countries:
“many with increasing energy
needs, and the Suez Canal playing
its very essential part.”
“Iran’s trading alliances in Asia
remain strong but with the lifting
of sanctions the opportunities for
Iran are opened further, with long
standing historical trading part-
ners in Southern Europe and theirdemand for Iranian crude oil, all
likely to be transported through
the Suez Canal and the Sumed
pipeline,” said Mr Petropoulos.
“In the 1970s and 1980s, the
trend for crude oil produced in
the Middle East was for Western
demand but by the turn of this
century the trend reversed with
Middle East producers supplying
the East. However Middle East
refineries are also producing prod-ucts for the region and are now
exporting large amounts of prod-
ucts to global destinations as prof-
itable trade, as well as a hedge to
reduction in OPEC crude quotas.
North East Asia is also producing
gasoil which will find itself in the
West. Major traders are fixing
new building aframaxes and su-
ezmaxes to load cargos of gasoilfrom refineries in Japan and Ko-
rea all transiting the Suez Canal,”
he said.
As Mr Petropoulos stressed,
in addition, India’s refinery pro-
grammes in the private sector
have been very forward looking
and they now export products
with limited or reduced refinery
capacity, particularly in North
West Europe. “Those cargoes will
transit the Suez Canal. With the
demand for power combined with
emissions, the LNG space is grow-
ing significantly and there has
been an increase in LNG transit-
ing the Suez Canal in the last 10
years.” Since the completion of the
new dual carriage, the new Suez
Canal will be able to handle almost
twice the traffic, he said. “And
providing it remains commercial-
ly viable, this will lead to greater
numbers of vessels navigating at
both Suez and Port Said. In anyenvironment where there is in-
creased traffic there is increased
risk of incident,” he warned.
EVENT | SHIPPING
India’s renery programs in the private sector can now lookforward to service locations with limited or reduced renerycapacity particularly in North West Europe via the Suez Canal.
Since the completion of
the new dual carriage,the new Suez Canal willbe able to handle almost

HAPAG-LLOYD SHOWS65 PERCENT RISE ININCORRECTLYDECLARED DANGEROUSGOODS IN 2015
IMO RELEASESINFOGRAPHICON ‘HOW THEPOLAR CODEPROTECTS THEENVIRONMENT’
Hapag-Lloyd re-
ports having regis-
tered considerably
more incorrectly
declared danger-
ous goods last year, compared to
2014. The Watchdog program de-
veloped jointly by Hapag-Lloyd’s
IT and dangerous goods experts
– a special safety software that
continuously checks cargo data
to identify anything conspicuous
identified 4,314 incorrectly de-clared dangerous goods cases last
year. This is an increase of 65 per-
cent on the previous year’s figure
of 2,620 cases.
Hapag-Lloyd’s dangerous goods
experts looked into more than
236,000 suspicious cases picked
up by the safety software in 2015
(2014: more than 162,000) – that’s
equivalent to an increase of ap-
proximately 46 percent. Danger-
ous goods that are declared im-precisely, incorrectly or not at all
have the potential to pose a major
risk to crews, ships, other cargo
and the environment.
For Ken Rohlmann, head of
the dangerous goods depart-
A new IMO infographic
illustrating “How the
Polar Code protects the
environment” has been
launched in six languag-
es. It depicts the various environmen-
tal requirements and recommenda-
tions of the Polar Code relating to oil,
sewage, garbage, chemicals and inva-
sive species. Download the infograph-
ic in: Arabic, Chinese, English,French,
Russian and Spanish. This builds on a
previous infographic showing what
the Polar Code means for ship safety.
The International Code for Ships
Operating in Polar Waters (Polar Code)
will enter into force on 1 January 2017
and applies to ships operating in Arctic
and Antarctic waters. It provides for
safe ship operation and protects the
environment by addressing the unique
risks present in polar waters but not
covered by other treaties.
ment at Hapag-Lloyd, there are
two reasons behind the sharp
increase: “Firstly, the volume of
cargo shipped by Hapag-Lloyd
increased considerably last year
due to the company’s merger
with CSAV’s container business.
Secondly, there was a sharp rise
in Watchdog findings following
the devastating dangerous goods
explosion in the port of Tianjin
in mid-August”, says Rohlmann.
Many ports drastically tightenedtheir dangerous goods guidelines
in the wake of the incident or
even prohibited dangerous goods
from being processed at all.
Hapag-Lloyd said that its
“Watchdog” has been subject to a
lot of interest from customs and
port authorities, police, as well
as from other shipping compa-
nies. Ken Rohlmann: “With the
software, our industry can con-
siderably reduce the risk posedto crews, ships, cargo and the
environment.” After all, it’s in the
interests of everyone involved
that the entire shipping system
should be made safer, emphasises
the dangerous goods expert.

PIRATES HACK SHIPPINGCOMPANY WEBSITE TOTARGET VESSELS
Tech-savvy pirates once
breached the servers of a
global shipping company to
locate the exact vessel and cargo
containers they wanted to plun-
der, according to a new report from
Verizon’s cybersecurity team.
“They’d board the vessel, locateby bar code specific sought-after
crates containing valuables, steal
the contents of that crate — and
that crate only — and then depart
the vessel without further inci-
dent,” says the report, Verizon’s
Data Breach Digest.
Verizon released the report de-
tailing 18 case studies among hun-
dreds its RISK Team (Research,
Investigations, Solutions, and
Knowledge) investigated ahead of
a talk at the RSA Conference, one
of the world’s largest information
security conferences.
While piracy is a common prob-
lem for global shipping, the un-
named company contacted RISK
after a group of pirates started
acting differently than in the past.
Usually, pirates would capture a
vessel, then hold its crew hostage
until a ransom was paid.
But this group instead would
board a ship and then leave soon
after, leaving the company suspi-
cious. As usual, the pirates wouldboard the ship and herd the crew
into one area. But a few hours lat-
er, the crew would come out and
they would be gone, with only
certain cargo containers opened.
As Verizon’s investigation un-
covered, the pirates had uploaded
malicious software onto the com-
pany’s content management sys-
tem, allowing them to access data
such as bills of lading for future
shipments. With this information,
the hackers would know exactly
where to look on the ships they
were after.
While more sophisticated than
your average pirates, they made
plenty of mistakes that ultimate-
ly made them easier to stop. The
pirates didn’t use proxies to hide
their network address, and they
sent all of their commands over
the web in plain text, which al-
lowed RISK to get a clear picture
of every command they had ever
issued.
“These threat actors, whilegiven points for creativity, were
clearly not highly skilled,” the re-
port says. “For instance, we found
numerous mistyped commands
and observed the threat actors
constantly struggled with the
compromised servers.”
Once the pirates were figured
out, the company then shut down
the servers, changed passwords,
and blocked the attackers’ IP ad-
dresses.

greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.Sotiris Raptis, shipping officer at
T&E, said: “We welcome the new
IMO secretary-general, who is
coming to office at a key moment
following the Paris agreement. We
are sure Secretary-General Kitack
Lim fully understands the need
for the IMO to act now. The EU in
parallel needs to include shipping
in its 2030 reduction commitment
now and in the EU ETS or in an
EU climate fund from 2021.”John Maggs, senior policy advi-
sor at Seas At Risk, said: “There is
no reasonable excuse to continue
exempting the sector from the
global and EU climate policies.
That shipping needs to make its
fair share of cuts to keep global warming well below 2
degrees is not negotiable after Paris.”The European Parliament’s study took into account
the IMO’s own research which found that shipping
GHG emissions are up 70% since 1990 and are project-
ed to grow by up to a further 250% by 2050. Shipping
currently accounts for nearly 3% of global CO2 emis-
sions – higher than those of Canada, Brazil, Indonesia,
Mexico, France or the United Kingdom.
Seas At Risk and T&E are members of the Clean
Shipping Coalition , which has observer status at the
IMO.
Shipping could be responsible for 17% of global CO2 emissions in 2050 if leunregulated, according to an EU study, placing climate action rmly at the top of the EUcommissioners’ and IMO secretary-general’s agendas at their meet in Brussels.
The 1.5/2°C warming limit
agreed at the Paris climatesummit will be impossible
to meet unless Europe and the
International Maritime Organi-
sation (IMO) introduce measures
to cut shipping emissions, NGOs
Seas At Risk and Transport & En-
vironment have warned. Having
escaped explicit mention in the
Paris climate deal, emissions from
shipping are the elephant in the
room and will jeopardise the ef-
forts of other sectors – making itall but impossible to keep global
warming well below two degrees,
the groups said. The IMO, the UN
body tasked with tackling the cli-
mate impacts of shipping, has so
far failed to grasp the nettle on

HIGH SPEED CATAMARANFERRY LENDS TOP LUXURY
TO ANDAMAN ISLANDS’TRAVEL
Seven years since inception the ferry completes ferrying over 10 lakh. Reputed as oneof the fastest ferries, M.V. MAKRUZZ also oers exemplary comfort and a hassle-freeexperience.
India’s most remote desti-
nation, the Andaman and
Nicobar Islands situated
more than 1000kms off
the east coast in the mid-
dle of the Bay of Bengal, can be
described as nothing short of
an Island paradise. The 500 odd
specks of emerald green nestled
in the vast expanse of aquama-
rine blues of the Indian Ocean,
boasts of snow white beaches,
flourishing evergreen forests,
kaleidoscopic coral reefs and a
bustling aquatic life. Port Blair,
the capital city, is the major port
of entry for most visitors travel-
ling to the islands either through
flights or ferries..
The most celebrated of des-
tinations within the islands is
Havelock, known for housing
Asia’s best beach. Flanked by
resorts, the mesmerizing locales
of Havelock can capture the
imagination of the most expe-
rienced of travelers. Neil Island
has increasingly also come into
the limelight for being the virgin
and more pristine counterpart of
Havelock. Although parts of the
archipelago still see few visitors,
the Andaman’s are now firmly
on the tourist circuit, with tour-
ists arrivals at an all time high of
300,000. This has indeed pre-
sented a host of opportunities in
the tourism sector and local busi-
nesses have rushed to derive the
first mover advantage.MAK LOGISTICS COMMENCES

DARDS OF EXCELLENCE
MAK Logistics (P) Ltd. is fo-
cused on retaining its values and
business ethics in all of its up and
coming endeavors to ensure that
it maintains the goodwill that ithas acquired over the years. The
Company advocates high service

company recognizes its inherentdependence on Brand Andaman
and hence, vows to promote
and propagate a sustainable yet
thriving model of development
for the tourism sector in the is-
lands.
A rst its kind rm the Private SectrAs a means of diversification and to cater to the burgeoning tourism sector,in the year 2009, the Company took a pioneering initiative to enter into thefield of passenger service by acquiring a high speed catamaran ferry from
Singapore, anointed “M.V MAKRUZZ”. It was the first of its kind from theprivate sector in the islands, as prior to this, the passenger movement waspredominantly controlled by the Government.
This state-of-the-art craft was built in 2002 by Damen Shipyard, Singapore.M.V. MAKRUZZ plies between the islands of Port Blair – Havelock – Neil,with an increased frequency from a single sailing to five, in a day. TheCatamaran is a twin hull vessel which offers a plethora of advantagesranging from speed, stability and space. The fully air conditioned vessel has 2decks with passenger capacity of 280, split into three classes - Premium(208),Deluxe(64) and Royal(8). While the maximum speed is 32 nautical miles,the ferry is cruised at the average speed of 24 nautical miles covering thedistance between Port Blair and Havelock in an estimated 90 minutes. Thevessel also boasts of an inboard Kiosk which is well stocked and caters to allage groups; huge transparent dark glass windows that run throughout theentire length of the ship’s lower deck and upper deck seating area enableseven the passengers seated at the far end to have a personalized view of thepanorama. M.V MAKRUZZ personifies the beauty and friendliness of theDolphin, its mascot, and is synonymous to gracious hospitality, panoramicview, plush interiors and unmatched speed.
4th Top Tourist Attraction in Andaman and Nicobar IslandsThe introduction of this ferry was a pivotal moment for the tourism sector inthe island, paving the way for other entrepreneurs while setting superlativestandards of service, which is worth emulating. Seven years since inception
and the ferry can proudly lay claim to the fact that it has transported bafflingnumbers of people- over 10 lakh. Being one of the fastest ferries in Indiawhilst offering exemplary comfort and a hassle-free experience, has heraldM.V MAKRUZZ from the 7th to the 4th position among the 36 attractions inAndaman and Nicobar Islands as enumerated by TRIP ADVISOR.
First choice among tourists and localsThe professionalized service coupled with luxurious interiors and fastesttravel time has made M.V MAKRUZZ, a favorite and the first choice oftourists and islanders alike, despite the presence of increased competitionover the years. On its initiation, the passenger ferry was dedicated to thetourism industry by the then Hon’ble Lt. Governor of Andaman & Nicobar
Islands, Lt. Gen (Retd) Bhopinder Singh, PVSM, AVSM. The owners and thestaff continue to dedicate immense efforts to improve user experience andaid the growth of Brand Andaman. Today, M.V MAKRUZZ remains not onlya top attraction but also a vital infrastructure in the tourism industry of theislands.

Capt. Arun Karkare, Consultant to a few Greeneld port projects in India cites his experiencein the planning and designing of ports by adopting Simulation Technology. The author
emphasises on the many benets the technology lends to the various stakeholders.
SIMULATION TECHNOLOGYFOR PORTS
Simulation technology
has revolutionized man’s
ability to plan complex
structures such as Ports
and Harbors and then use
it again for their safe and efficient
operations and management..
Among all the man- made struc-tures of recent times nothing is
more awesome and challenging
than designing, planning and con-
structing a deep sea port to handle
mammoth Tankers and Container
Ships and finally commissioning
it to be able to operate safely and
efficiently. It is here that Simula-
tion technology filled the void and
made the whole process almost
risk free in commercial, financial
and technological terms perhaps
in this logical order! Anyone who
is even remotely associated with
Port Industry would agree with
this point of view.
As a marine consultant for two
decades, I have hands on experi-
ence using this marvellous tech-
nological tool in three successive
Greenfield port projects where I
was involved from conception to
inception and finally commission-
ing of these ports by piloting and
berthing the first commercial shipsat berths.SIMULATION TECHNOLOGY FOR
GREENFIELD PORT PROJECTS
The ports of Dhamra in Odis-
ha, Kattupalli in Tamil Nadu and
Angre in Maharashtra have made
extensive use of Simulation Tech-
nology in port infrastructure plan-
ning, cargo operations and training
of port pilots. I have been associat-
ed with each of these ports as the
Chief Marine Consultant. I exten-sively used Simulation technology
to great advantage and saved pre-
cious funds for the owners as this
technology helped me immensely
to fine tune the water front infra-
structure of the port.
Out of the three ports, the most
complex and challenging was
Dhamra port project. The joint
owners were two top corporate
giants TATA Steel and L&T. More-
over the commercial and financial
stakes were very high and therewas substantial technical risk in
designing and planning of 20 nau-
tical miles long Channel (Naviga-
tional Connectivity between the
Port facility and Open Sea) with a
cost estimation of Rs.700 crores.
The owners were looking for a
way to confirm the port layout
plan and design of the water front
infrastructure. I joined Dhamra
port project team in the year 2005.
DHAMRA PORT PROJECT USHERSIN SIMULATION TECHNOLOGY
Simulation technology was al-
ready in full use in the West Eu-
ropean ports but it had not entered
the Indian Port market due to lack
of Greenfield Port Projects. Dham-
ra opened the doors for the entry
of this solution. On my advice,
the owners of Dhamra port con-
ducted Simulation Studies of the
port channel which was the main
risk area of the project as the port
was designed to handle vessels of1,80,000 dwt with 19 m. draught ! I
had to go to a UK based simulation
company, HR Wallingford who
had the necessary software and
equipment. Please refer to graph-
ic pictures of Dhamra simulation
studies.
Let us see how the Simulation
technology works for port projects.
The port owner has to provide the
basic inputs such as preliminary
designs and engineering drawingof port layout of jetties, berths,
docks, turning circles, basin, chan-
nels, size of ship, cargo handling
system, buoyage system, pilotage
system, manoeuver-details, train-
ing curriculum, prominent land

marks such as light houses, bea-
cons and shore markings.THE PROCESS
After receiving the technical
and engineering details the simu-
lation engineer starts creating the
software that forms the basic de-
sign of the simulation picture and
creates virtual reality as if the port
is ready to receive the ships. In the
meantime the simulation compa-
ny sends the videographers and
special photographers to the port
site to photograph and video graph
the entire panoramic as well as mi-
croscopic views as will be visible to
the pilot bringing the ship inside
the port. In simulation technology
two types of imagery are created
in the software specifically. One ofthe two types is called static imag-
ery which is the synchronized pic-
ture view of the port layout as seen
from the bird’s eye as well as from
the water front level. The second
type of imagery is called dynamic
which shows the movements of
the water, ships, buoys and other
crafts created for showing traffic
that may occur in the port in an
operational scenario when the
port is commissioned.STAKEHOLDER BENEFITS
The simulation report is sent
out in two parts. One part is a re-
porting on fixed layouts and it re-
flects the pros and cons of causing
changes and accordingly the port
owner is advised to correct, add
or omit or reorient the layouts. It
also lends more prior information
to banks, financial institutes and
other investors with the financial
and commercial implications of
the design before investing in ac-
tual construction. However, navi-gation simulation and consultancy
for training of port pilots is a very
important output from such stud-
ies. The full scale trial runs, free
running and captive model tests,
mathematical prediction and sim-
ulation of specialized manoeuvres
of large and complex vessels helps
to minimize future maritime disas-
ters in the port. The real time ship
handling and manoeuvring simu-
lator is widely used by pilots, ship
operators, naval architects and
port authorities to enable effective
training and to evaluate harbour
layouts at the planning stage.
The simulation system has a
wide range of high fidelity ship
models which can interact with
varied environmental conditions
specific to a port in question and
tugs to produce realistic behaviour.
Currently, in India quality sim-
ulation studies can be conducted
at centers situated at Mumbai and
Delhi where the author is attachedas simulation expert (BMT at
Mumbai and ARI at Delhi). Recent-
ly Indian Navy and JNPT have or-
dered simulation studies for their
projects with BMT.
SAGARMALA PROGRAMME IDENTIFIES OVER150 PORT INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS
More than 150 projects have been
identified as part of the National
Perspective Plan (NPP) under
the ambitious Sagarmala Programme.
The projects will mobilize more than
Rs. 4 lac crore of investment and enable
creation of 1 crore new jobs, including 40
lac direct jobs, in the next 10 years. These
projects have been identified across the
areas of Port Modernization & New
Port Development, Port Connectivity
Enhancement, Port-led IndustrialDevelopment and Coastal Community
Development.
The Sagarmala Programme of the
Government of India aims to promote
port-led development in the country
by harnessing India’s 7,500 km long
coastline, 14,500 km of potentially
navigable waterways and strategic
location on key international maritime
trade routes. A National Perspective
Plan has been developed under this
programme for the comprehensivedevelopment of India’s coastline and
maritime sector.PORT MODERNIZATION & NEW PORT
DEVELOPMENT
To meet the future growth in cargo
volumes, 50 projects have been identified
to increase the port capacity from 1400
MMTPA to 2500 MMTPA by 2025, at an
investment of Rs. 1 lac crore. These proj-
ects include capacity augmentation at ex-
isting ports and development of 5-6 new
ports, including a trans-shipment hub. In
addition, 104 initiatives have been identi-
fied to improve major port efficiency.PORT CONNECTIVITY ENHANCEMENT
65 projects have been proposed at an
investment of more than Rs. 2 lac crores
to enhance the port-connectivity to thecountry’s production and consumption
centers. This includes10,000 km of last
mile port-connectivity infrastructure, 12
new freight expressways, heavy haul rail
corridor to transport coal, new pipelines
for transporting crude and petroleum
products, development of prioritized
inland waterways and new multi-modal
logistics hubs.PORT-LED INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT
For promoting port-led industrial
development, 14 Coastal Economic Zonescovering all the Maritime States and
Union Territories have been proposed.
These include 13 port-based discrete
manufacturing clusters, in the labour
intensive sectors of electronics, apparel,
leather products, furniture and food-
processing, and 14 large coastal clusters
for basic input industries such as power,
refineries & petrochemicals, steel and
downstream industries (Shipbuilding,
Automotive), and cement. Setting up
infrastructure for these clusters will
require an investment of Rs. 1 lac crore
and will attract an additional Rs. 7 lac
crore of industrial investment. These
clusters are expected to boost India’s
merchandize exports by USD 110 Billion
by 2025.COASTAL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
As part of Sagarmala’s objective
of coastal community development,
skilling, fishermen and other community
development projects have also been
identified. Setting up of a Community
Development Fund is envisaged to
enable these coastal communities’ related
projects and initiatives.
All the above projects will be showcased
in the maiden Maritime India Summit
2016, for attracting potential investorsand their implementation will be taken
up starting FY 16-17. The Ministry of
Shipping is also conducting stakeholder
consultations with the Maritime States
and Central Ministries to finalize the NPP
by March 2016.

IRCLASS CONTINUES
ITS CONTRIBUTION TO‘MAKE IN INDIA’Develops Rules for Indian Coast Guard Ships. While the Rules have been made simplerand user friendly, the special requirements that are relevant to Coast Guard Shipscontinue to be retained.’
The “Rules and Regula-
tions for Construction
and Classification of
Indian Coast Guard
Ships”, developed by
the Indian Register of Shipping
(IRS) were formally released by
the Director General Indian Coast
Guard, Vice Admiral HCS Bisht
AVSM at a ceremony held at the
Indian Coast Guard Headquarters,
New Delhi. The Chairman and
Managing Director of the Indian
Register of Shipping, Mr Arun
Sharma formally presented theRules for release.
Speaking on the occasion, In-
spector General SK Goyal PTM
TM, Dy. Director General (Mate-
rial and Maintenance), dwelt upon
the long association of the IRS
with the ICG, since the early ‘80s,
when the indigenous construction
of Coast Guard Offshore Patrol
Vessels commenced at Mazagon
Docks Ltd., at Mumbai. He stated
that the first IRS Rules for Con-struction and Classification of
Indian Coast Guard Ships were
initially published in 2008. Over
time, with gaining of experience in
their usage, it was realised that the
Rules required review and modifi-
cation to better suit the operating
conditions and requirements of
Coast Guard ships. He stated that
the Coast Guard had been closely
involved in the formulation of the
new Rules.
Mr. Arun Sharma responded by
stating while the original Rules
for Coast Guard ships had been
based on the Rules for Indian Na-
val non- combatant ships, the new
Rules are largely derived from the
IRS Rules for High Speed Craft and
Light Craft which are more ap-
propriate for application to patrolvessels. In addition, applicable fea-
tures of the Rules for non-combat-
ant Naval Ships have also been re-
tained. Comments from shipyards
have also been incorporated, prior
to approval by the IRS Technical
Committee. ‘Thus, while the Rules
have been made simpler and user
friendly, the special requirements
that are relevant to Coast Guard
Ships continue to be retained.’
CMD IRS thanked the CoastGuard for their active involve-
ment during the formulation of
the Rules. He stated that the Rules
would be made available on the
IRS web site for downloading by
authorized external users and
would be periodically updated,
based on the experience and fu-
ture technological developments.
He added that the release of the
Rules is very significant for the
national mission of developing in-
digenous capability in shipbuilding
for the Coast Guard.
Director General Indian Coast
Guard congratulated IRS on the
development of the rules and said
“with emphasis on ‘Make in India’
by the government, these rules
will help in supporting indigenous
ship building in India, with promi-nence on excellence in design and
quality construction of ICG ships”.
Additional DG, Rajender Singh
PTM TM, all Deputy Director Gen-
erals, all Principal Directors and
other senior officers of the Coast
Guard Headquarters were present
at the release. IRS Chairman was
accompanied by a team of senior
executives from IRS comprising
Vice Admiral BS Randhawa PVSM
AVSM VSM (retd), Principal NavalAdvisor, Mr Ravi Sachdeva, Chief
Surveyor and Senior Vice Presi-
dent, Mr N Girish, Head Research
& Development and Commander
KK Dhawan (retd), Head Defence
Services.
While the original Rules
for Coast Guard ships hadbeen based on the Rules
for Indian Naval non-combatant ships, the newRules are largely derived
from the IRS Rules forHigh Speed Cra andLight Cra which aremore appropriate for
application to patrol
vessels.

COCHIN SHIPYARD TO BUILD ENGINEAND PROPULSION COMPETENCIES
C
ochin Shipyard will have
a containerised self-suffi-
cient workshop within its
premises to cater primarily to pro-
peller blade metallurgical repairs
and engine component repairs.
A recent MoU with Wartsila In-
dia would also enable it to have
comprehensive Engine Services,
Propulsion Services, and Electri-
cal and Automation services for
its various requirements.
The MoU was signed by Mr.
Sunny Thomas, Director (Tech-
nical & Operations), Cochin Ship-
yard Limited and Mr. James Ra-jan, Director, Service Unit South
Asia, Wärtsilä India in the pres-
ence of CMD, CSL and other se-
nior officials of Cochin Shipyard
Limited and Wärtsilä India.
With this MOU, CSL is expected
to attract more ship-repair busi-
ness at its present facility. The
agreement also gives Wärtsilä an
opportunity to set up an Original
Equipment Manufacturer centre
(OEM) at the Cochin Port Trust
Area in the future.
CSL had taken over the existing

ity in the area – which so far had
been put to minimal use in the
past – was revamped and put into
operation by CSL, with employees
being re-skilled and retrained.
Since then, the ship-repair facil-
ity has started to generate rev-
enue in the last couple of years.
CSL’s MOU with Wärtsilä India is

▶Performance: The demonstrated
performance of the RayCleanTM system
is second to none. The system has been
tested according to both IMO and USCG
requirements, at USCG approved test
facilities and under the supervision
of accredited USCG Independent
Laboratory, DNV GL. This ensures the
highest level of test independence and
scrutiny of all aspects of the system.
The RayCleanTM system has proven
its performance in all salinities (fresh,
brackish, and marine water) and down
to a record-level low UV-Transmissionof just 33%.
▶Operational costs: Everywhere
in the system we use high quality
components and materials in order
to ensure long lifetime and minimum
need for maintenance. As an example
we use highly ecient low-pressure
UV lamps with a staggering lifetime of
12,000 operating hours. This means you
will only have to replace the UV lamps
once or twice in the lifetime of a vessel!In addition, the power consumption
is extremely low, just 21 kW per
300 m3/h ow when the water is dirty
and the system is running at max
power. In cleaner water conditions the
power consumption drops to 11 kW per
300 m3/h.
▶Safety: For us the safety is of
paramount importance. Both safety
for the crew, the vessel and the
environment. Therefore the system
utilizes or generates no chemicals
or active substances. Neither for
the treatment process, nor for the
cleaning of the system. In addition the
used low pressure UV lamps contains
no liquid mercury, but just amalgam
in solid form. This means that if you
accidentally break a low pressure UV
lamp, cleaning is simple and without
any risks. In comparison the widely
used medium pressure UV lamps
contains mercury in liquid form, which
imposes strict requirements to crew
education and safety equipment in case
a medium pressure UV lamp breaks
▶In fact we are so convinced about
the true market leadership of the
RayCleanTM system that we invite youto compare the RayCleanTM system to
any other system.
▶Our BWTS can be oered from a Flow
rate of 100m3/hr to 3000m3/hr.
The RayCleanTM system is second to none in the industry.
This leadership is obtained for a number of reasons:
