Mediterranean Shipping Co’s (MSC) lead at the top of the liner rankings is set to stretch to record levels, according to new analysis by Danish consultancy Sea-Intelligence
COPENHAGEN: It was at the start of 2022 that MSC became the world’s largest liner by o p e r a t e d c o n t a i n e r vessel capacity, surpassing 2M partner Maersk, which had been at the top of the rankings for more than a quarter of a century. Since then, MSC has been on a massive fleet expansion charge, hoovering up secondhand tonnage and taking deliveries of record numbers of newbuilds, whereby its lead over Maersk today stands at 1.55m slots.
Sea-Intelligence has projected what the top 10 liner rankings will look like two years from now (see chart), taking many aspects into account, including orderbooks, the carriers’ typical approach related to redelivery of charter vessels and the sale of secondhand tonnage.
“MSC will grow their size advantage substantially c o m p a r e d t o t h e s e c o n d l a r g e s t c a r r i e r –which incidentally will be CMA CGM, relegating Maersk to be the world’s third largest carrier,”
Sea-Intelligence stated in its latest weekly report looking at projected fleet sizes in April 2026.
MSC became the first carrier in the world to have a fleet in excess of 5m teu last May By April 2026, it is projected to have a fleet with more than 7m slots. From next year, it will be going it alone on the main eastw e s t t r a d e s , d i t c h i n g i t s partnership with Maersk in the 2M alliance.
Cash-rich MSC has invested in many industries outside of its core b u s i n e s s e s o f c r u i s e a n d containers in the last couple of years including in aviation, rail, media and logistics Last week it made a $700m bid for Gram Car Carriers
Analysts at Sea-Intelligence also pointed out that Germany’s Hapag-Lloyd will have a lot to do if it is to fend off Japan’s Ocean Network Express (ONE) in the coming couple of years Hapag-Lloyd’s recently unveiled 2030 strategy lays out a plan to retain a position among the top five carriers.

NEW DELHI: Indian Railways will look at developing an additional 200o d d G a t i S h a k t i m u l t i - m o d a l terminals in its bid to improve freight earnings and decongest existing tracks for faster passenger train movement.
The average cost per terminal is expected to be around Rs. 70 crore, as per initial estimates of Railways; which works out around Rs. 14,000 crore for all these, officials aware of discussions said.
Railways have earned over Rs 2 56 lakh crore, with freight services accounting for 70 per cent of these earnings in FY24.
First phase under implementation
U n d e r t h e f i r s t p h a s e o f implementation of the Gati Shakti Cargo Terminal Policy, some 100-odd multi-modal terminals will be developed by 2024-25. Around 77-odd are ready and commissioned at an estimated cost of Rs. 5,400 crore.
These terminals have come up in West Bengal, Jharkhand, Odisha, Telangana, Tamil Nadu and Uttar Pradesh, among others. Some of the operators include Concor, Reliance,
Adani, Western Coalfields, Wonder Cements, JSW, SECL, IOCL, BPCL, among others.
Routes/stations include important industry points like Paradip, Jasoda and Dahej, among others.
“So once the first set of 100 terminals are completed, which would be by the end of this fiscal, Railways will tender for 200 more. The average cost of each of these terminals works out at Rs. 65-70 crore at present Individually, a terminal cost could be Rs. 50 crore in some cases, or more,” an official taking part in these discussions said.
Gati Shakti Cargo Terminals can be developed by private players and o n n o n - R a i l w a y l a n d o r e v e n fully/partially on Railway land.
For terminals on non-Railway land, the operators will identify the location and will construct the terminal after obtaining necessary approval.
In case of terminals coming-up either fully or partially on Railway land, the land parcels will be identified by Railways and the operator for
construction and operation of the terminal will be selected through open tendering process.
The Railways, say the official, is looking to push for greater share in the country’s overall freight traffic.
The share has freight carried by Railways at 29 per cent at present,
35 per cent by 2030.
Of the 5,500 million tonnes (mt) of cargo carried across the country, some 1,600 mt – odd is moved by the Railways in FY24. Loading was to the tune of 787.6 mt of coal, 181 mt of iron ore, 154 mt of cement and 114.4 mt across others categories that include volume-based items like white goods, among others.
“As these multi modal terminals come up, there will be faster movement of goods, de-congestion of tracks for passenger trains too,” says one of the officials.
Also complimenting this plan, the Railways will continue to add 5,000 km of new tracks, every year, at least for another three-to-five years.
NEW DELHI: With increasing India’s dependence on Chinese industrial goods like telecom, machinery and electronics, Beijing’s share in New Delhi’s imports of such goods rose to 30 per cent from 21 per cent in the last 15 years, a report said. According to the report by the economic think tank Global Trade Research Initiative (GTRI), the growing trade deficit with China is a cause of concern, and the strategic implications of this dependency are profound, affecting not only economic but also national security dimensions
From 2019 to 2024, India’s exports
to China have stagnated at around USD 16 billion annually, while imports from China have surged from USD 70.3 billion in 2018-19 to over USD 101 billion in 2023-24, resulting in a cumulative trade deficit exceeding USD 387 billion over five years
T h e I n d i a n g o v e r n m e n t a n d industries must evaluate and potentially recalibrate their import strategies, fostering more diversified and resilient supply chains, GTRI Founder Ajay Srivastava said.
This is imperative not only to mitigate economic risks but also to bolster domestic industries and reduce dependency on single-country
imports, especially from a geopolitical competitor like China, he added. “Over the last 15 years, China’s share in India’s industrial product imports has increased significantly, from 21 per cent to 30 per cent.
“This growth in imports from China has been much faster than India’s overall import growth, with China’s exports to India growing 2 3 times faster than India’s total imports from all other
merchandise imports amounted to USD 677 2 billion, with USD 101 8 billion of that coming from China.
COCHIN: Sharp fall in shrimp prices and surplus supply by Ecuador has cost the Indian seafood export industry dearer Marine product exports from the country plummeted by $710 million in FY24 at $7.4 billion from more than $8 billion in FY23.
The decline comes after export of marine products shot up for two consecutive years post-Covid.
Data available with NIRYAT portal of the Union ministry of commerce and industry states that USA was a top market for India in the marine products segment at $2.5 billion,
followed by China with nearly $1 4 billion and Japan at $412 million
Shrimp is a significant item in the basket of India’s seafood exports However, its price dipped by 20%-25% last year, according to industry sources.
Seafood Exporters Association of India (SEAI) National Vice President K V V Mohanan said, marine products export value declined mainly due to the decrease in average export price of shrimp comparing to the previous year
“Our major markets for shrimp are the USA, China, EU, Japan, Vietnam and Middle East, where we suffered due to
oversupply from other countries, especially Ecuador, whose production was almost 1.5 million tonne,” he said. India shipped 17,35,286 MT of seafood worth more than $8 billion during 2022-23, the Marine Products Export Development Authority had announced last year. With export value to the tune of $5.5 billion, frozen shrimp retained its top position accounting for a share of 67 7% of the total earnings through seafood exports in that year (FY23). It was followed by frozen fish g e n e r a t i n g a n e x p o r t v a l u e o f $687 million.

NEW DELHI: The government is scrutinising the Interest Equalisation Scheme for exporters to analyse its usefulness in promoting exports so far, including from the MSME sector, to decide if it should be continued beyond June 30 2024, sources have said.
“The DGFT office is holding consultations with various export bodies and banks to have more clarity on those benefitting from the scheme and find out if it actually played a role in promoting exports,” an official said.
The interest equalisation scheme, first implemented in April 2015 for five years, allows exporters of 410 identified products and all exporters from the MSME sector, to get bank credit at a subsidised interest rate determined by the government. The banks are later reimbursed by the government for their lower interest earnings. The scheme has since got a number of extensions and the last one
is set to lapse on June 30, 2024.
“There is a need for a detailed analysis of beneficiaries of the scheme under various sectors to pinpoint where the benefits are accruing and if a correlation can be established with growth in exports. If no direct correlation can be established, then the government will take a call on whether it should be withdrawn completely or for certain sectors,” the official said.
The Commerce and Industry Ministry has already been taking steps to ensure a better distribution of the outlay set aside for the interest equalisation scheme to ensure that it is not cornered by just a few L
introduced a cap of Rs. 10 crore per Importer Exporter Code (IEC) on the annual net subvention amount. This means that an individual unit cannot claim equalisation benefits beyond Rs. 10 crore.
In December 2023, an additional outlay of Rs. 2,500 crore, over and above the current outlay of Rs. 9,538 crore under the scheme, was approved by the Union Cabinet to bridge the funding gap to continue the scheme up to June 30, 2024.
Currently the scheme provides an interest equalisation benefit at the rate of 2 per cent on pre and post shipment rupee export credit to m e r c h
exporters of 410 identified tariff lines at four digit level and 3 per cent to all MSME manufacturer exporters.
Exporter bodies have been asking the government to increase the subsidy rate to 5 per cent for MSME exporters and 3 per cent for others to help them be more competitive and cope better with global headwinds and the uncertain geopolitical scenario. In FY2023-24, India’s goods exports declined 3 11 per cent to $437.06 billion.
N E W D E L H I : Interest equalization scheme (IES) is one of the
m o s t e f f e c t i v e instruments to remove cost disability of Indian exports. The scheme provides much needed competitiveness to our exports, said Shri Ashwani Kumar, President, FIEO particularly to MSMEs as the interest costs in India is much above than in our competitors’ countries. The bank rate in India is 6.5% whereas the bank rate in many of our Asian economies is around 3 5% With a higher spread, the credit cost in India is generally over 5-6% as compared to such countries, observed FIEO Chief.
a slowdown in demand and offtake from the shelves, whereas exporters are also looking for larger credit due to huge hike in Sea and air freight.
Mr Kumar said that the relevance of the Interest Equalisation Scheme is much more today as buyers are asking for longer period of credit, with
The interest subvention rates may also be enhanced from 3% to 5% for manufacturers MSMEs and from 2% to 3% for 410 tariff lines respectively as when the subvention was reduced, the repo rate was 4.4% which has gone up and currently is 6.5%. This justifies the restoration of the interest subvention to the original level of 5% and 3% respectively so as to provide necessary competitiveness to our exports, said President, FIEO
NEW DELHI: The Government is looking at ways to improve the competitiveness of exports amid mounting geopolitical tensions and has begun examining the export credit landscape The Commerce and Industry Ministry has sought details on exporters' financial needs, challenges faced in accessing export credit and the ways to improve it India gives pre- and post-shipment export credit to enable exporters to access financial resources that are crucial for facilitatinginternationaltrade
"The exercise aims to look at effective interventions as many exporters encounter difficulties in
utilising these export credit facilities," said an official.
The Ministry has sought details on specific bottlenecks in the existing export credit mechanisms that need to be addressed and the best practices from other countries that could be adapted to improve the export credit landscape in India.
"There is almost a 5% difference between the cost of export credit in India and countries like China, Vietnam and South Korea, which impacts the competitiveness of our exports," said Ajay Sahai, Director General, Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO). T
significance as India's goods exports in FY24 fell 3.11% to $437.06 billion from $451.07 billion in the previous fiscal. Exporters expect a demand slowdown due to global uncertainty and hence need funds for a longer period Officials said specific intentions could be looked at to improve the access to export credit once the exercise is over.
Export credit includes priority s e c t o r l e n d i n g a n d i n t e r e s t subvention scheme, which allows exporters of 410 products and all MSME exporters to get bank credit at a subsidised rate of 2-3%.
KABUL: Two Central Asian states Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan along with Afghanistan have agreed to enhance transit and transport infrastructure in Afghanistan at a trilateral meeting last week between Kazakh Deputy Prime Minister Serik Zhumangarin, Director General of the Transport and Communications Agency under Turkmenistan’s Cabinet of Ministers Mammetkhan Chakyev, and Afghan Minister of Commerce and Industry Nooruddin
Azizi in Kabul.
At the meeting Zhumangarin emphasized the need for calculations and reorientation of traffic flows, highlighting upcoming infrastructure development initiatives. The idea of three sides is also to connect with India. This can be possible via Chabahar Port of Iran.
“All this will help develop the Turkmen infrastructure and ours at Beineu-Aktau-Bolashak,” he said.
The three sides noted that the
eastern branch of the International North South Transport Corridor (INSTC) had gained new impetus to become a key route for transporting goods from Russia and Belarus t h r o u g h K a z a k h s t a n a n d Turkmenistan to Afghanistan, India, and West Asia.
Following the negotiations, they agreed to establish a working group to implement the agreements reached. Kazakhstan-Turkmenistan route is one of the branches of INSTC.
NEW DELHI: The escalating geopolitical tension may have implications for the country's exports in the first quarter of 2024-25 as it is likely to impact global demand, apex exporters body FIEO said. The global uncertainties caused by continuing war between Russia and Ukraine has impacted India's outbound shipments in 2023-24, which recorded a decline of 3.11 per cent to USD 437 billion. Imports too dipped by over 8 per cent to USD 677.24 billion.
"If the global situation continues to be like this, it would impact global demand. In the first quarter numbers, the demand slowdown may be
visible," FIEO Director General Ajay Sahai said. He added that despite all the challenges, freight rates are softening and it is giving an indication that demand may be impacted in the times to come.
H e c a u t i o n e d t h a t f u r t h e r escalation of the current situation could have serious implications on the world trade.
" B e s i d e s g e o p o l i t i c a l uncertainties, high inflation and high interest rates are also crucial reasons for demand slowdown," he said, adding certain advanced economies like Europe may witness more slowdown.
He also said that India's domestic currency depreciated only about 1.3 per cent during 2023-24 as against Chinese Yuan's 4.8 per cent; Thai Baht 6.3 per cent and Malaysian Ringgit's 7 per cent.
When asked about the impact of Israel-Iran war, he said certain exporters from engineering sector have stated that the demand for goods that are going to the UAE and then to Iran has come down.
Jewellery demand may also come down, he said.
The Director General suggested the government to take certain steps for exporters at the liquidity front.
