Coastal Shipping traffic constantly increased in India in last three years: Sarbananda Sonowal

NEW DELHI: Under Sagarmala Programme, various initiatives and projects have been undertaken to facilitate the shifting of cargo from c o n v e n t i o n a l l a n d - b a s e d transportation to Coastal Shipping mode, said the Union Minister for Ports, Shipping, and Waterways Sarbananda Sonowal.

As a result, there is a constant increase in coastal shipping traffic in the last three years.

Coastal Cargo

2020-21 – 114 (MMTPA)

2021-22 – 133 (MMTPA)

2022-23 – 151 (MMTPA)

To enhance freight movement through coastal shipping, the Government of India (GOI) has taken

measures like the Coastal Berth Scheme, license relaxation under section 407 of the Merchant Shipping Act, discounts offered by major ports, priority berthing policy for coastal vessels, reduction of GST on bunker fuels, green channel clearance, reimbursement of freight subsidy on primary movement of subsidized urea and P&K fertilizers, etc.

Sagarmala Programme

An initiative by the Government of India, the programme aims to enhance the performance of the logistics sector of the country. It envisages opening the potential of the coastline and waterways to

investments

The vision of the programme is to bring down logistics costs for both domestic and Export Import cargo with optimized infrastr ucture investment.

Sagarmala aims to lower logistics costs for Export Import and domestic cargo leading to overall cost savings of Rs 35,000 to Rs 40,000 crore/year. In addition, Sagarmala aspires to lower carbon emissions from the t r a n s p o r t a t i o n s e c t o r b y 12.5 MT/annum.

In India, it is the flagship programme of the Ministry of Ports, S h i p p i n g a n d Wa t e r w a y s t o encourage port-led development by using the country’s 7,517 km long coastline.

Further contraction expected in Global Freight Forwarding : Transport Intelligence

LONDON: After falling 3.7% in real terms (holding prices and exchange rates constant) last year, the global forwarding market is expected to contract a further 3.9% by the end of the year, reducing its market value to just over €334.3bn ($424.6bn).

Research analyst Transport Intelligence (Ti) notes, in its recent report, Global Freight Forwarding Market Size & Forecasting 2022-2027, that the “cautious optimism in early 2023 that the world economy could achieve a soft landing has receded amid continued high inflation”

It adds: “According to the IMF, risks to the outlook are heavily skewed to the downside, with the chances of a hard landing having risen sharply.”

Air, specifically, is forecast to decline by 4.7% in real terms this year, after falling 7.3% in 2022, with a market value of almost €125 6bn Several factors continue to impact

performance, says the report, i n c l u d i n g w a r i n U k r a i n e , high inflation and fuel prices In addition, air freight’s competitive advantage over sea has ended as prices there have rapidly declined and congestion has eased.

According to IATA figures this year, measures by governments to combat inflation by cooling economies are expected to result in a further decline in cargo volumes this year of 5 6% on 2019and4%belowlastyear

The sea freight forwarding market is forecast to contract by 3.5% (-1.5% last year) to a market value of almost €208.8bn.

Ti said: “The market will continue to be affected by depressed consumer behaviour The very strong supply of vessels combined with mediocre, or even falling, demand, as well as resolved port congestion, point to a downward trajectory for freight rates.”

It added that a major factor weighing on demand for both air and sea freight forwarding services was that the inventory to sales ratio was currently at historically high levels.

“In periods of low inventory, air freight benefits disproportionately as shippers seek to rapidly move stock into the right locations and replenish stores to match supply with demand,” the report says.

Looking further ahead, Ti notes that taking into account that the global economy is forecast to experience a prolonged period of subpar growth, the global freight forwarding market is expected to reach a market value of just over €377.2bn in 2027, based on a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of 1 6% The air and sea freight forwarding markets are projected to expand at a CAGR of 1.7% and 1.6% respectively.

A.P. Moller - Maersk : Robust Q2 financial results in difficult market conditions

COPENHAGEN: Maersk (Maersk) reports a second quarter of 2023 ahead of expectations, while the ongoing market normalisation continued through the quarter leading to lower volumes and lower rates. Revenue stood at USD 13.0bn compared to USD 21.7bn in Q2 2022 while profitability was strong at 12.4% a l t h o u g h s i g n i f i c a n t l y l o w e r c o m p a r e d t o t h e extraordinarily strong Q2 2022. Reflecting the strong first half performance, Maersk raises its financial outlook and now expects underlying EBITDA of USD 9 5 - 11 0bn (previously USD 8 0 – 11 0bn), underlying EBIT of USD 3 5 - 5 0bn (previously USD 2 0 - 5 0bn) despite a weakened second half market outlook.

“The Q2 result contributed to a strong first half of the year, where we responded to sharp changes in market conditions prompted by destocking and subdued growth environment following the pandemic fuelled years Our decisive actions on cost containment together with our contract portfolio cushioned some of the effects of this market normalisation. Cost focus will continue to play a central role in dealing with a subdued market outlook that we expect to continue until end year. While we step this agenda further up, we are unwavering in our transformation and continue to invest in and deliver truly integrated logistics solutions to our customers and amplify their supply chain resilience for the uncertain times ahead,” says Vincent

Clerc, CEO of Maersk.

Ocean revenue decreased to USD 8.7bn from USD 17.4bn driven by a decrease in freight rates and loaded volumes. While the volume and rate environment stabilized at a lower level during Q2, Ocean continued to be impacted by lower demand, driven by a significant inventory correction in particular in North America and E u r o p e A s t r o n g c o s t m a n a g e m e n t a l l o w e d t o partially offset the top line i m p a c t o n f i n a n c i a l performance in Ocean.

The segment was also impacted by lower volumes due to the continued destocking and weaker consumer demand, as well as low rates As in Ocean, market demand is expected to continue to be subdued as long as the inventory correction is ongoing.

Revenue in Terminals decreased to USD 950m from USD 1.1bn and was influenced by the normalisation of storage revenue and lower volumes amid lower consumer demand and less congestion in North America. Strong cost control contributed to a continued solid financial performance.

Financial guidance for 2023

The inventory correction observed since Q4 2022 appears to be prolonged and is now expected to last through year end. Based on the continued destocking, A P Moller – Maersk now sees global container volume growth in the range of -4% to -1% compared to -2 5% to +0 5% previously Ocean expects to grow in-linewiththemarket

For the full-year 2023, A.P Moller – Maersk raises its financial guidance as seen in the table below

A.P . Moller – Maersk now expects CAPEX to be at the lower end of the previously communicated ranges of USD 9.0 - 10bn for 2022-2023 and USD 10.0 - 11.0bn for 2023-2024.

APM

Terminals lifts the standard of customer connectivity with expanded API offering

THE HAGUE: In response to customer feedback, this month APM Terminals rolled out a new API which enables customers to track the schedules and key milestones for all vessels calling at a specific terminal. Furthermore, realtime API data connectivity was made available for an additional three terminals.

APM Terminals has offered a Vessel Schedule API for some years, however this was more suited to customers looking to track a specific vessel calling a terminal. The new Terminal Vessel Schedule enables customers to track all vessels calling a terminal, for up to one week in the past and two weeks ahead.

The Terminal Vessels Schedule provides customers with, among other things, real-time and reliable terminal Estimated Time of Arrival/Departure, Earliest Receiving Date, Cut-Off Times for different cargo types, vessel details and more.

Why use APIs?

APM Terminals’ innovative, industry-leading range of seven APIs enables customers to pull real-time container status, truck appointment and vessel data from its Terminal Operating Systems, into their own internal systems, such as a Logistics or Transport Management System (TMS) Developed in line with industry standards, they offer selfservice, straight forward, one-time-only implementation.

Real-time data feeds remove the need to look up information manually via our existing Track & Trace channels, making this the ideal solution for shipping lines, inland transporters, cargo owners and managers, and data aggregators who process higher volumes.

The pricing structure of the new Terminal Vessel Schedule is particularly interesting for larger customers tracking a number of vessels as unlike the existing Vessel Schedule API, pricing is not per vessel called via the API, but for unlimited calls for a period of 30 days, for a specific terminal As with the company’s existing range of APIs, API calls are purchased using API credits which can be bought in bundles Thelargerthebundle,thelowerthepricepercredit New Terminals

API connectivity was added for the company’s two Ports in India, APM Terminals Mumbai and APM Terminal Pipavav, as well as the Suez Canal Container Terminal (SCCT) in Egypt. SCCT support data for Vessel Schedules, I

o r t C

s The Indian terminals support data for Vessel Schedules, Import Containers, Container Event History and Empty Container Returns.

With these additional Terminals, APM Terminals now offer’s API connectivity for 22 of its terminals, with an additional five planned to be added this year
