Coastal Shipping Bill introduced in Lok Sabha; Aims to boost Maritime power

NEW DELHI: The Government on Monday, December 2 introduced a bill in the Lok Sabha aimed at modernising and streamlining the shipping industry The Coastal Shipping Bill, 2024, will pave the way for several transformative measures to boost traffic at major ports and enhance the overall efficiency of the maritime industry, with changes particularly b e n e f i t i n g d o m e s t i c s h i p p i n g companies.

Shri Sarbananda Sonowal, Minister of Ports, Shipping and Waterways, introduced the bill in the Lower House amid din over demand from the Opposition members to discuss issues including allegations against industrialist Gautam Adani and his indictment in the US, the

Manipur unrest and the recent violence in Sambhal, Uttar Pradesh

The bill once enacted will create a more favourable environment for domestic shipping operators, reducing bureaucratic hurdles and encouraging greater participation in both coastal and international trade. It also proposes to eliminate the need for Indian-flagged vessels to obtain trading licences for conducting coastal trade. The move is aimed at simplifying regulatory procedures and encouraging more domestic shipping operators to engage in coastal shipping.

The bill, cleared by the Cabinet in October, also seeks to align regulations governing international trade ships with global standards with the aim of h

becoming more competitive in global maritime trade. The bill also seeks to create a National Database of Coastal Shipping to ensure transparency of procedure and aid in information sharing.

“Coastal shipping in India holds great potential owing to the vast coastline of around 7,500 kilometres and proximity to important global shipping routes It has been recognised that maritime transportation, particularly coastal shipping, is cheaper compared to other modes of transportation. There is a need to improve transport connectivity and support infrastructure in the coastal maritime transport sector,” Sonowal said while introducing the bill.

Will help make India centre of the logistics world: Gautam Adani

MUMBAI: The time is ripe for us to leverage I n d i a ’ s g e o g r a p h i c location and help make our nation become the centre of the logistics world, Adani Group Chairman, Gautam Adani, said recently

Addressing the 51st India Gem and Jewellery Awards here, Gautam Adani said that in the case of logistics, what started as a port jetty, to import coal in 1998, has gone on to become the country’s largest port business.

“This business today spans a network of 15 national and 5 international ports and, thereby, allows us to expand into building a network of integrated logistic nodes,”hetoldthegathering.Thesenodes noware made up of ports, rail, highways, warehouses, inland container depots, fulfilment centres, and trucking in a way no other company has ever achieved in the world

“This journey has taken us deep into the Middle East — all the way into the

Mediterranean through Israel — and into the heart of Africa For me, it is no more just about ports. It is now about leveraging India’s geographic location and doing our part to help make our nation become the centre of the logistics world,” the Adani Group Chairman noted.

Likewise, what started as a single power plant in 2007, has now become not just India’s largest private thermal power generation company but has also allowed the Adani Group to expand into adjacencies.

“This expansion has seen us become India’s largest private transmission company, largest private power distribution company, largest mine developer and operator, as well as the only company that successfully took up the challenge of cross-border supply of power to help a neighbouring nation,” Gautam Adani told the gathering.

Furthermore, it has allowed the company to move into the area of renewable energy.

“Today, we are India’s largest solar panel manufacturing company as well as the world’s largest single-site renewable energy facility, well on our way to generating 30 GW of power, spread over a massive single span of l a n d o f m o r e t h a n 5 0 0 s q u a r e kilometres,” the Adani Group Chairman emphasised.

“Yet another example of challenging the status quo is our move into the airport business. In less than three years, we became the largest airport operator in the country We then built our adjacencies that made us the largest airport logistics player with almost 40 per cent of India’s air cargo and have now undertaken the world’s largest slum redevelopment initiative, the Dharavi project,” he stressed.

Gautam Adani further stated that for him, Dharavi is not just about slum redevelopment. “It is about restoring dignity, creating a susta

e ecosystem, and changing the status quo for over one million residents.”

Adani Ports records 36 MMT cargo volume in November, says growth driven by Containers

AHMEDABAD: Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ) on Monday announced that it handled 36 MMT of cargo during November 2024. The growth in cargo, it added, was primarily driven by containers, which was higher by 21 per cent in comparison to the same period of last year.

On a year-to-date (YTD) basis, Adani Ports handled 293.7 MMT of total cargo, recording a growth of 7 per cent on-year In a regulatory filing, the company said that the growth was supported by containers, which posted a rise of 19 per cent YoY, followed by liquids & gas, which went up by 7 per cent YoY

APSEZ announced that its YTD November 2024 logistics rail volume recorded a growth of 10 per cent YoY to 0.42 million TEUs and GPWIS volumes grew by 15 per cent YoY to 14.2 MMT

During the previous month, that is, for the month of October 2024, APSEZ had announced that it handled a total of 37.9 MMT cargo, keeping the company in the glide path for the guided yearly volume. On a year-to-date (YTD) basis, it handled 257 7 MMT of total cargo, up 8 per cent on-year.

Earlier in October, Adani Ports had released its fiscal second quarter earnings with profit at Rs 2,445 crore, posting a growth of 39.90 per cent yearon-year The profit growth, it had said, was recorded amid an increase in the cargo volumes handled by the company a n d “ n e w c a p a c i t y a d d i t i o n s progressing as planned in Gopalpur, Vizhinjam, and Colombo”. During the quarter, the company handled a total cargo of 111 million metric tonnes, up 10 per cent YoY

This comes just days after the

US Department of Justice and the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) indicted Gautam Adani, Sagar Adani and Vneet Jaain, with conspiracies to commit securitiesandwirefraudandsubstantive securities fraud for their roles in a multibillion-dollar scheme to obtain funds from US investors and global financial institutions on the basis of false and misleadingstatements

Mr Gautam Adani, on Saturday, in his first public event since the indictment by the US court, said every attack made the group stronger and every obstacle was a stepping stone for more resilience. “Less than two weeks back, we faced a set of allegations from the US about compliance practices This is not the first time we have faced such challenges. What I can tell you is that every attack makes us stronger,” he said.

IFSCA to ease regulations, cut costs for funds operating in GIFT City : Chairman Rajaraman

GANDHINAGAR: GIFT City regulator IFSCA will introduce regulatory changes by the end of this month to help funds operating in the international financial services centre (IFSC) lower their operational costs while serving the Indian market, Chairman K Rajaraman said on Monday Currently, there are about 180 funds registered with the International Financial Services Centres Authority (IFSCA).

This initiative is part of the regulator’s broader efforts to encourage financial institutions in GIFT City to offer capital and other financial services to Indian companies at globally competitive rates, Rajaraman said at the GreenReturns Summit 2024, organised by the Indian Venture and Alternate Capital Association (IVCA) in New Delhi.

“If Indian corporates are to become global champions, they must access capital at globally competitive rates. Without competitive inputs, one cannot expect competitive outputs,” Rajaraman said.

“How do we cut away the layers of costs that the industry should not be saddled with if it wants to become global champions? That is what we are now focused on” he added.

He highlighted that the IFSCA has now shifted its focus from ‘Onshoring the Offshore’ to ‘India at 2047’. When the IFSCA was first set up in 2019, its main objective was to ensure ‘Onshoring the Offshore,’ Rajaraman noted.

“Our thought process now is about how to support the Indian economic landscape in becoming a developed

country by 2047. It will require more than a normal effort to get there. Among the variety of problems, one key issue is how to provide cost-effective financial services and costeffective capital to Indian corporates,” he said.

IFSCA sees a great opportunity for Indian corporates to raise green debt through Gift City banks, he said. There is also an opportunity to establish more private debt funds. “Private debt funds can be set up. Our job is to facilitate that. We will explore ways to reduce the cost of operations in Gift City by making our regulations more efficient for them,” Rajaraman said.

Last year, IFSCA mandated that banks operating in GIFT City must lend at least 5 per cent towards green credit. As on date, they have lent around $3 billion, exceeding the 5 per cent requirement, as green credit.

Today, five years since IFSCA came into being, GIFT City has 28 international and local banks that have set up business there. The total asset size of these lenders stands at $71 billion, of which around $50 billion has been lent to corporates in India and abroad.

As on date, GIFT City has about 180 registered funds, two international stock exchanges, a bullion exchange, and 16 insurance companies, besides other players in the financial services ecosystem.

Rajaraman said that IFSCA also expects transition finance instruments to be launched in the coming days from GIFT City. “There is a long way to go, but we have covered initial ground. We expect the market here to look at greater innovations,” he added.

The Red Sea crisis and its impact on containership deployment

LONDON: The impact of the Red Sea crisis on containership deployment trends – after a wave of ‘cascading’ rapidly accelerated supply growth last year – is brought home to the market in a new report by shipbreaking firm Clarksons.

Smaller vessels ’cascaded’ from Asia-Europe lanes have been returned back to the tradelane, with the share of Asia-Europe deployment of ships smaller than 17,000 teu rising 11% year on year, to 42%, last month.

Clarksons analyst Thomas Grant also noted that on the transpacific, the share of deployment of 12,000-17,000 teu ships was growing, but the movement of these vessels onto

Far East-Europe kept this share steady, at 46% this year

In comparison, the regression in freight rates in 2023 coincided with multiple newbuilding deliveries, following the heavy ordering during the Covid-induced boom.

As 2.3m teu of ships entered service last year, equating to 8% capacity growth, supply pressure was most acute in the larger sizes – 850,000 teu of 12,000-17,000 teu vessels hit the water, an 18% expansion in capacity in this size range.

As ships of this size are the main transpacific workhorses, many were assigned to this lane, making up 45% of transpacific capacity by December 2023 (up from 39% in January).

Adani Ports-led Colombo project right on track: Sirimewan Ranasinghe, Chairman, SLPA

COLOMBO: The A d a n i P o r t s - l e d

C o l o m b o p o r t terminal project is on track and there is no reason to complain, Sirimewan

R a n a s i n g h e , C h a i r m a n o f Sri Lanka Ports Authority (SLPA) said on Sunday, 1st December

Adani Ports is implementing the Colombo port terminal project in a j o i n t v e n t u r e w i t h S L PA a n d John Keells Holdings.

“The SLPA is satisfied with the progress on the Adani Ports-led project in Colombo,” Ranasinghe said on phone from Colombo “We do periodic reviews and there is no

reason to complain so far. This project is on track.”

Ranasinghe’s comment was in r e s p o n s e t o a q u e r y o n t h e progress of the project. Last month, US authorities had alleged that some Adani group executives were part of a scheme to pay bribes in a power project in India.

Ranasinghe, who was appointed in October to the post, said the current dispensation’s motto is upholding transparency in every project. He said the indictment has no relation with the project in Sri Lanka.

The Colombo port terminal project is being developed to take advantage of Sri Lanka’s location on major shipping routes. The plan is to make the terminal operational in February 2025.

In November 2023, the US International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) announced a $553 million investment in t h e p r o j e c t . It is still conducting due diligence on the

project and no funds have been disbursed so far, it is learnt.

Sri Lanka, with Anura Kumara Dissanayake as President, has shown interest in continuing with all projects agreed to with India during the past dispensation and is banking on New Delhi’s support to boost the economy Dissanayake, who plans to visit New Delhi in the middle of this month, has himself not spoken against the Adani port project Many of his advisers before have felt that cancelling a big project will send the wrong signal about the investment climate in the island nation

The Port of Colombo is the largest and busiest transhipment port in the Indian Ocean. The new terminal aims to serve the economies around the Bay of Bengal.
