Gautam Adani sees Indian economy growing to $15 trillion in two decades AHMEDABAD: Billionaire Gautam Adani recently said the Indian economy is at the start of a virtuous cycle and on the path to becoming a USD 15 trillion economy over the next two decades. The Indian economy was worth USD 2.89 trillion before the

pandemic, which wiped off over 7 per cent of the total economy. Addressing the shareholders of his port-to-energy conglomerate Adani Group, he said while questions are being raised about India’s target of becoming a USD 5 trillion economy in the next four years, he has no doubt that India will achieve it.

Cont’d. from Pg. 2 Shri Sonowal said that Prime Minister has given the agenda of development of the country and we need to work together and round the clock to achieve this goal. He said the facility installed at Sir T Hospital will help in the fight against Corona. The Deendayal Port Trust through its Corporate Social Responsibility has installed 02 nos. of large Medical Oxygen PSA units at ‘Sir T Hospital’, at the total cost of Rs. 2.53 Crores. The installed PSA oxygen generator unit is of having a capacity of 1000 litres per minute each, i.e., 60,000 liters/hr. at 5-6 bar pressure of each unit totalling 1,20,000 which can be utilized for the treatment of COVID as well as other patients at the hospital. The system will eliminate the hardship of frequent refilling the cylinders for treatment of patients, and will ensure a smooth and continuous oxygen supply to the hospital. The PSA Oxygen generation unit generates pure oxygen gas by the continuous process of pressure swing adsorption & desorption methods through imported Molecular oxygen sieves in pressurized & de-pressurized states in the unit and finally delivers oxygen of minimum 93% purity. Shri Shripad Yesso Naik, Union MoS for MoPSW and Tourism, Shri Shantanu Thakur, Union MoS for MoPSW, Smt. Vibhavariben Dave, MoS for Women & Child Development, Government of Gujarat, Dr. Bharatiben Dhirubhai Shiyal, MP, Bhavnagar, Ms. Kirti Danidhariya, Mayor, Bhavnagar and Dr. Sanjeev Ranjan along with the senior officials of the Deendayal Port Trust were present on the occasion.

Speaking on the occasion, Shri Mansukh Mandaviya said, “This facility is dedicated to the people of Bhavnagar. Similar such facilities inaugurated recently would help the country in times of crisis.” Reiterating Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s vision for the country, Shri Mansukh Mandaviya said that the country is working in the spirit of Lok-Bhagidari through a “whole of society” approach to keeping the country safe from COVID. The Union Health Minister noted the cooperation people showed during lockdowns in maintaining COVID Appropriate Behaviour and social distancing norms to beat the first COVID-19 wave. “It is an evidence of sheer cooperation among different stakeholders from both public and private sector that we ramped up our oxygen capacity that was mere 4000 MT (metric tonne) to more than 12,000 MT in a short span of time’, he stated. On the continuing challenge of COVID-19 in front of us, Shri Mandaviya mentioned that “We have learnt a lot from the second wave like oxygen supply, hospital beds and medicines. We have now ensured adequate funds in every district for buying critical care medical requirements in an emergency. The Cabinet has recently approved Rs. 23,000 crore package for Covid-19 emergency response. We have made adequate provisions for paediatric care in all hospitals to provide the most effective healthcare for children. We are also developing a system of buffer stock at State and centre level that can be used in case of any health crisis. Thus, a comprehensive plan and capacity building in next 6 months is being taken up through this COVID package.”

Japan’s 1st Containership recognized for its historical contribution to Maritime Transportation Efciency T O KYO : H a k o n e M a r u , a container carrier formerly owned and operated by NYK, has been recognized by the Japan Society of Naval Architects and Ocean Engineers (JASNAOE) as “Japan's first new container carrier that realized efficient maritime transportation." This honor is given to vessels that have historical, academic, and technical value, promote public understanding, and are seen as symbols of cultural heritage for future generations. Another NYK vessel, Hikawa Maru, a historic ocean liner permanently berthed as a museum ship in Yokohama, was certified in 2018. Hakone Mar u, Japan's first containership, was completed at the Kobe shipyard of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in August 1968. Through advancements in the ship’s hull form, main engine, and propeller, the vessel was able to realize a significant improvement in the efficiency of maritime transportation. In fact, the ship’s enhanced speed shortened the trans-Pacific route round trip from 80 days to about 30 days.

On February 3, NYK released the NYK Group ESG Story, which aims to further integrate ESG into the company’s management strategy. We will continue our efforts to preserve historical materials and contribute to the availability of maritime history to future generations through the NYK Maritime Museum, a related facility.

Gautam Adani sees Indian economy growing to $15 trillion in two decades Cont’d. from Pg. 2 “I personally see it as an inconsequential question,” Adani, 59, who is Chairman of the Group, said. “India will be a 5 trillion-dollar economy, and then go on to be a 15 trillion-dollar-plus economy over the next two decades,” he said. He went on to state that India will emerge as one of the largest global markets, both in terms of consumption size and market cap. “There will be bumps along the road, as has been the case in the past, and is expected to be the case in the future.

“However, there cannot be any doubt that the largest middle class that will ever exist, augmented by an increase in the working-age and consuming population share, will have a positive impact on India’s growth very much in line with the demographic dividend India enjoys,” he said. Stating that history has shown that several learnings emerge from every pandemic crisis, Adani said India and the world are wiser as they go through the COVID-19 pandemic. “India is at the start of a virtuous cycle that is driven by the growth in the middle class population, and our nation today has the longest runway of any country in the world,” he said.

Maritime Supply Chains stuck in a Catch-22 : Drewry LONDON: Sailing schedules cannot be relied upon – as long as ports are congested. But port efficiency cannot really recover as long as vessels “bunch” together, arrive outside the planned terminal windows or divert away from nearby congested ports. Where does this catch-22 leave shippers? More and more often, it seems, resolving one problem along the container shipping supply chain creates even bigger problems and disruptions elsewhere in the supply chain. Just recently, operations returned to normal at Yantian International Container Terminal (YICT), after Covid-19 staff restrictions there, but the congestion shifted largely to nearby port of Hong Kong and also affected other ports in Asia, as ships and cargo volumes were diverted. Because ports are already struggling to cope with high volumes, they are vulnerable to sudden, incremental stresses. Drewry’s tracking of vessel waiting events in the ports of Yantian and Hong Kong shows the congestion easing in Yantian, while simultaneously increasing in Hong Kong. As can be seen in our Cancelled Sailings Weekly Insight report, the situation of vessel delays at ports in North America and Europe is also serious and the delays of 4 days or more are chronic and sustained.

Source: Drewry Supply Chain Advisors It will certainly take an awful length of time before schedules are back to normal and reliable again, because the current model of operations of carriers – sliding schedules, blanking sailings and skipping congested ports in their rotations – is expected to continue. Particularly for shippers and BCOs, this will mean a long period of extended and less predictable transit times, combined with rollovers, lack of space and empty equipment, and extreme spot freight rates (see related Logistics Executive Briefing opinion piece).

Source: Drewry Cancelled Sailings Weekly Insight The imminent peak season will exacerbate the situation further and there are further risks on the horizon, such as potential US West Coast port lockdowns in 2022. Shippers and importers find themselves stuck in the middle of this vicious circle where one problem amplifies another, with no industry-wide solution in sight.

Source: Drewry Cancelled Sailings Weekly Insight Drewry is having many discussions with shippers about alternatives (alternative ports, alternative transport modes, alternatives transloading nodes for a specific shipper) and even about the feasibility of major BCOs chartering containerships, as HomeDepot did recently. The new Chinese carrier CU Line, for example, is considering new investors in its venture. Logistics planners are also rethinking safety margins and increasing inventory at destination. In Drewry’s view, these industry-wide container supply chain problems are not going away. As a shipper/BCO, you should be thinking about tactics and strategies to diversify and mitigate potentially long-lasting ‘Catch-22’ disruptions to your maritime supply chains.

Essar Shipping deploys two vessels for rice export to Bangladesh MUMBAI : Essar Shipping Ltd, part of Essar Global Fund Ltd’s services and technology portfolio, has said two of its handysize vessels ‘Tvisha’ and ‘Tuhina’ weighing 13,000 DWT, have been engaged in exports of rice from India to Bangladesh as per the recent bilateral trade agreement signed between the two neighbouring countries. As per the agreement, Bangladesh is set to buy 1,50,000 tonnes of rice from India. It would be the first such bilateral deal in the last three years. Speaking on this development Ranjit Singh, CEO, Essar Shipping said, “We are glad to extend our support and services to meet Bangladesh’s rising demand for rice. With India’s five years pulses import deal with Myanmar, we have bagged a shipment contract for these vessels which is to begin operations from 20th July.” “As new export deals are slated to be signed with the

neighbouring nations in the coming months, our vessels will also be engaged in trade in continuation within this region. Also as we witness the Covid wave cooling off across nations, we are hopeful to make the most of this opportunity and capitalise on this trade.” Both these vessels have been continuously employed in back to back business to export rice since March 2021. India saw a surge in farm exports in FY21, a pandemic year. The surge was driven by record-high sales of rice-13.9 million tonnes of non-basmati and 4.6 million tonnes of basmati — and sales of 2.08 mt of wheat, a six-year high. In fact, growing demand for rice overseas is expected to be a big win for exporters of the commodity in India. Bangladesh, the world’s third-biggest rice producer with an output of almost 35 million tonnes a year, relies on imports from time to time to cope with shortages caused by natural disasters such as floods or drought.

E-way bill generation gathers pace in July NEW DELHI: E-way bill generation for goods transportation has gathered pace in July, indicating a graded pick-up in economic recovery, as the impact of the second Covid wave wanes. In the first 11 days of July, the average daily eway bill generation stood at 19.24 lakh, 5.6% higher than the average for June and 49% higher than the May-level. Between July 1 and 11, as many as 2.12 crore e-way bills were generated. Higher e-way bill generation will reflect in goods and ser vice tax (GST) revenues.

Gross GST collections, after remaining above the Rs 1-lakh-crore mark for eight months in a row, came in at Rs 92,849 crore in June (May transactions), reflecting the blow to the economy from a localised lockdown. Thanks to the reduction in Covid-19 cases and easing of the lockdowns, e-way bills generation by businesses rose to 5.5 crore in June, from 3.99 crore in May, indicating a smart recovery of trade and business. About 5.9 crore e-way bills were generated in April.

With the impact of the second Covid wave waning and vaccination drive making progress, some parts of the economy are expected to look up from July. In recent months, the government’s GST revenue has been robust, thanks to steps taken to curb evasion, increased compliance and also a shift of business a w a y f r o m t h e i n f o r m a l s e c t o r. A nascent economic recovery that appears to have been quickly disrupted by the pandemic’s second surge, also helped.

India’s coal import rises 20 % in May; volumes may be subdued in monsoon MUMBAI: India’s coal import rose 20.4 per cent to 19.92 million tonnes (MT) in the month of May. The country had imported 16.54 MT of coal in May last fiscal, according to data compiled by mjunction Services. “On a year-on-year basis, however, India’s coal and coke imports in May 2021 were up 20.4 per cent as against 16.54 MT clocked in May 2020,” it said. Import volumes of dry-fuel, it said, are expected to remain subdued in the ongoing monsoon season on account of lower demand, firm prices and high freight rates.

India’s coal import also rose 25.4 per cent to 42.19 MT in the first two months of the ongoing fiscal, against 33.63 MT of coal imported in the corresponding period of previous financial year, it said. Of the total import in May, non-coking coal was at 13.64 MT, against 10.54 MT imported in May last financial year. Coking coal import was at 4.41 MT, up against 3.18 MT imported in May last fiscal. During April-May, non-coking coal import was at 28.96 MT as compared to

22.82 MT imported during April-May period of the last financial year. Coking coal imports were recorded at 9.15 MT, higher than 6.41 MT imported during April-May of previous financial year. “The firm prices in the seaborne market coupled with higher availability of domestic coal led to a drop in imports in May on a monthly basis. Import volumes are expected to remain subdued in the ongoing monsoon season due to lower demand, firm prices and high freight rates,” mjunction Services MD and CEO Vinaya Varma said.

Bangladeshi Vessels set sail using it as a trade route between Assam-Bangladesh NEW DELHI: During this critical pandemic period, as many as seven Bangladeshi vessels visited Dhubri using Indian waterways as a trade route. The Inland Waterways Authority (IWA) of India has begun the International Trade from the river port of Panchughat in Dhubri town as a positive sign. All seven Bangladeshi vessels are fully

loaded at the Dhubri wharf to transport some tons of rocks exported from Bhutan which will be sailing soon for Bangladesh through the river Brahmaputra. According to Nurul Islam, Bangladesh Vessel Sailor, once the ship’s crew has completed all relevant papers, the authorities will allow the vessel’s crew members to sail from Panchughat,

Dhubri, India to Chilmari River Port in Bangladesh. On July 12, 2019, the river port of Dhuburi’s Panchughat, which was a significant river port during British rule, was restored for international trade, ushering in a new horizon. This was the beginning of the International Trade by river from Assam and the North East.

India poised for double-digit growth this fiscal; disinvestment climate looks better: Niti Aayog VC Rajiv Kumar NEW DELHI: With India’s stor y remaining “very strong”, the economy will register a double-digit growth in the current fiscal and the disinvestment climate also looks better, said Niti Aayog Vice Chairman Rajiv Kumar. He also asserted that the country is prepared in a far better manner in case there is a COVID wave as states have also their own lessons from the previous two waves. “We are now hopefully getting past our (COVID-19) pandemic… and the economic activities will be strengthened as we get into the second half of this (fiscal) year given what I have seen for example various indicators, including the mobility indicators,” Kumar told PTI in an interview. The Indian economy has been adversely impacted by the coronavirus pandemic and the recovery has been relatively sluggish in the wake of the second COVID wave. Against this backdrop, the Niti Aayog Vice Chairman exuded confidence that the economic recovery will be “very strong” and those agencies or organisations which have revised their GDP estimates downwards for this fiscal may have to revise them upwards

again. “Because, I expect India’s GDP growth this (fiscal) year would be in double digits,” he said. The economy contracted by 7.3 per cent in the financial year ended March 31, 2021. Among rating agencies, S&P Global Ratings has cut India’s growth forecast for the current fiscal to 9.5 per cent from 11 per cent earlier, while Fitch Ratings has slashed the projection to 10 per cent from 12.8 per cent estimated earlier. The downward revisions were mainly due to slowing recovery post second COVID wave. Indicating the possibility of a strong rebound, the Reserve Bank has pegged economic growth at 9.5 per cent in the current fiscal that ends on March 31, 2022. Asked when private investments will pick up, Kumar said in some sectors like steel, cement and real estate, significant investment in capacity expansion is happening already. In the consumer durable sector, it might take longer because consumers might feel a little hesitant due to uncertainty on account of the pandemic, he said. “Full-fledged

private investment recovery, we should expect by the third quarter of this (fiscal) year”. Responding to a query on concerns over a possible third COVID wave, Kumar said the government is much better prepared in case such a situation comes up. “I think the government is far better prepared now to face the third COVID wave, if at all it does come up… I feel the impact of the third wave on the economy will be much weaker than it was during the second wave and the beginning of the first wave,” he said. According to Kumar, the government’s preparation is very significant and also the states have learned their own lessons. Recently, the government announced an additional Rs 23,123 crore funding, mainly aimed at ramping up health infrastructure. Making a case for stepping up bor rowing, Kumar mentioned about agencies like the IMF, the World Bank and the ADB recommending that one should not worry too much about the size of the deficit because of the special circumstances the pandemic has created.

Container Lines set to topple quarterly profit records (again) CHATTANOOGA: Maersk and other ocean carriers posted their best numbers ever in the first quarter, but those records are almost certain to be quickly eclipsed. Early disclosures from carriers confirm that the second quarter will be an even bigger blockbuster for liners. During the first three months of this year, congestion negatively impacted volumes for several liners, yet surging rates more than offset any decline in loadings. Even though congestion worsened in the second quarter — due to the Suez Canal accident and the COVID outbreak in Yantian, China — freight rates were much stronger than in the first quarter, setting the stage for new highs in revenues and profits. OOCL OOCL, a division of China’s COSCO, revealed data on Q2 liftings and revenues. American Shipper analyzed the changes versus the first quarter and calculated O O C L’ s r e v e n u e p e r t w e n t y - f o o t equivalent unit (TEU). The carrier’s total liftings dropped 1.5% quarter-on-quarter, including a 4.2% decline in the congestion-stricken transPacific. However, revenue per TEU jumped 16.6% in the second quarter versus the first, to $1,780 per TEU. There was a particularly sharp rise — 20.6% — in revenue per TEU in the trans-Pacific. As in the first quarter, rate tailwinds trumped congestion headwinds. OOCL’s overall shipping revenue in the second quarter rose 14.9% compared to the first

three months of the year, to $3.47 billion. COSCO Group The COSCO Group announced preliminary Q2 profits recently. COSCO disclosed that first-half revenues will be approximately RMB 37.093 billion ($5.7 billion). This means that Q2 2021 net profit will be RMB 21.641 billion, up 40% from the previous record period in Q1 2021. During the first half of this year alone, COSCO will post profits that are 3.7 times the profits earned in full-year 2020. Matson Matson (NYSE: MATX) released preliminary results that trounced analyst expectations. The consensus forecast was for Q2 2021 net income of $2.21 per share. Matson said that net income will be $156.9 million-$163.6 million or $3.58-$3.73 per share — 62%-69% above what analysts expected. “ We WAY u n d e r e s t i m a t e d t h e earnings capacity of Matson once again,” admitted Stifel analyst Ben Nolan in a client note. Matson CEO Matt Cox stated, “Currently, in the trans-Pacific trade lane, supply chain congestion continues and consumption trends remain elevated. We expect these conditions to remain in place and lead to a high level of demand at least until Lunar New Year in the first quarter of 2022.” Evergreen Taiwan-based Evergreen has not prereported profits, but it has just posted its

monthly operating revenues through June. Last month, Evergreen posted alltime-high operating revenues of 37.72 billion New Taiwan dollars (NT$). For Q2 2021, operating revenues totaled NT$99.89 billion ($3.6 billion), up 11% from Q1 2021. Carriers’ public relations decit U.K. consultancy Drewry estimated that the ocean carrier sector as a whole could post aggregate profits of $80 billion$100 billion this year. “Carriers’ only account in deficit is public relations,” said Drewry. “Lines are in danger of being cast as profiteering villains, unsympathetic to the needs of their customers.” Recently, The Wall Street Journal reported that the Biden administration will use an executive order and urge the Federal Maritime Commission “to confront consolidation and perceived anticompetitive pricing” in ocean shipping. According to Stifel analyst Ben Nolan, “From our perspective … ocean shipping pricing has been consistent with overall market supply dynamics. Furthermore, virtually all large container shipping companies are not U.S. domiciled, listed, etc., so there is very little influence that could be brought to bear.” However, Nolan warned, “Despite no meaningful means of intervention, we do expect the risk of increased regulatory oversight to be negative for containershipping equities.”

APEDA inks MoU with NAFED for strengthening export linkage of Farmer Cooperatives & FPOs NEW DELHI: For harnessing exports potential of agricultural and processed food products of cooperatives as well Farmer P roducer Organizations (FPOs), the Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA) has signed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with National Agricultural Cooperative Marketing Federation of India Ltd (NAFED). According to the MoU, the key areas of cooperation include facilitating APEDA registered exporters getting assistance under all the Govt. of India schemes implemented through NAFED. The MoU also envisages ensuring sustainability and growth of exports by Cooperatives by addressing issues such as technology, skill, quality products and market access. The collaborations between APEDA, which functions under Ministry of Commerce & NAFED, registered under the Multi State Co-operative Societies Act, also support engaging Cooperatives involved in agricultural production for improving the quality of agri-produce and its consolidation for better price realization to the farmers. APEDA would facilitate exports by the Cooperatives, FPO’s, partners and associates identified and promoted by NAFED. APEDA and NAFED will also facilitate participation of Farmers’ Cooperatives in global trade including B2B & B2C fairs to be organized in India and abroad and also to mutually cooperate in international business development & promotions. The MoU also entails providing

assistance towards capacity building of Cooperative Societies, Self-Help Groups (SHGs) for their social & environmental compliances and skilling as per international standards. Both the organisations would organize awareness programs Skill Development Programmes and Workshops at Regional, State and National levels. APEDA and NAFED have also agreed to work in close coordination towards sustainable Cluster development of the clusters in various States notified under Agri Export policy. T h e M o U w a s s i g n e d b y D r. M . Angamuthu, Chairman APEDA and Mr. Sanjeev Kumar Chadha, Managing Director, NAFED. The MoU was signed for utilising both the organisations’ expertise by mutually working together to synergize the activities in the interest of agriculture and allied sectors for bringing better value to the stakeholders. APEDA has been focusing on collaborative approach to bring synergy with number of organisations and institutions having inherent professional and specialised expertise in different areas for capacity building of various stakeholders and providing solutions for addressing some of the identified inter ventions for the development of Agriculture and its export enhancement in consonance with the objectives set under Agri Export Policy (AEP) announced by Government of India in 2018. AEP was framed with a focus on agriculture export oriented production, export promotion, better price realization to

farmer and synchronization within policies and programmes of Government of India. It focuses on “Farmers’ Centric Approach” for improved income through value addition at source itself to help minimize losses across the value chain. The exports policy therefore suggests to adopt the approach of developing product specific clusters in different agro climatic zones of the country to help in dealing with various supply side issues viz., soil nutrients management, higher productivity, adoption of market oriented variety of crop, use of Good Agriculture Practices (GAP) etc. APEDA has been engaged with State Governments for the implementation of AEP. The States of Maharashtra, U.P., Kerala, Nagaland, Tamil Nadu, Assam, Punjab, Karnataka, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Manipur, Sikkim, Uttarakhand, M.P., Mizoram and Meghalaya have finalized the State specific Action Plan for exports while the action plans of other States are at different stages of finalization. At present, NAFED is creating a network of honey FPOs across Jammu & Kashmir, Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh. Around 65 FPOs will be part of honey corridor linking north-west to northeastern regions. NAFED is aiming at bringing all the FPOs associated with honey production for creating requisite infrastructure under the National Beekeeping and Honey Mission, NAFED’s subsidiary Federation of Indian FPOs and Aggregators (FIFA) is currently partnering with FPOs and private sector.

Govt identies items for Customs exemptions review, seeks views from Industry NEW DELHI: The Government has identified a host of customs exemptions for review and has invited suggestions from trade and industry bodies on the same. Importers, exporters, domestic industry and trade associations are invited to give views on the subject for consideration by the government by August 10 on the ‘MyGov.in’ portal. Some key products covered under the list include fabrics, games/sports requisites, magnetron for microwave manufacturing, specified parts for PCB, set-up box, routers, broadband modem, contraceptives and artificial kidney. The list also includes magnetic tapes, photographic, filming, sound recording/ radio equipment, parts/ raw material for manufacture of goods supplied for offshore oil exploration, specified machinery/ parts covered in textile industry. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in her 2020-21 Budget speech had announced that a further review of existing customs exemption notifications

would be undertaken through extensive consultations. Giving a list of 97 notifications, the Gover nment said certain Customs exemptions have been identified for purpose of further review. “Suggestions are invited in respect of their review which may include the need for review of the notification, amendment in wording of the n o t i f i c a t i o n f o r b r i n g i n g c l a r i t y, consolidation, other relevant factors such as extent of use, etc,” it added. The Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) last year too had conducted this crowdsourcing exercise to identify the customs duty exceptions which need to be reviewed. Following that, the government has now drawn up a list of notifications and invited stakeholder views for a comprehensive review. Exemptions from customs duty have been given in public interest from time to time and a review of the Customs laws and procedures would help to align them with

the needs of changing times and ease of doing business. Abhishek Jain, Tax Partner, EY, said the government seems to be looking at exemptions prevalent for divergent sectors as is evident from the list of targeted Customs exemption entries released by the government. “As such, the various industries should see if their goods are being covered in the said exemption entries, and provide their recommendation to the government in a timely fashion, so as to ensure certain scope for further liasioning in case the government has any further queries. “The suggestions are most likely are to vary from sector to sector considering parameters such as how much that sector is ready to manufacture the currently imported product in India, the possible threat to the domestic players in case of further customs duty reduction,” Jain added.

Adani Group mulls to expand its port business to Puducherry MUMBAI: Currently on talks to purchase Karaikal port in Puducherry, APSEZ, the key subsidiary of Adani Group, may possibly establish its presence in another major tourist destination, after Goa Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd (APSEZ), the key subsidiary of Adani Group, is looking to purchase the Karaikal port in Puducherry for around Rs 1,500 to 2,000 crore. C u r r e n t l y, M a r g L t d h o l d s a 45 percent stake in the port. In addition to this, Ascent Capital Advisors India Pvt Ltd, Jacob Capital India Pvt Ltd, Affirma Capital India, and GIP India collectively maintain a 44 percent stake.

The remaining 11 percent is held by Edelweiss Asset Reconstruction Co Ltd. Port advisors are of the view that the deal with Karaikal port may turn out to be a lot more expensive than Krishnapatnam and Gangavaram ports. However, should the deal be finalised, this will be the second project of the Adani Group in a major tourist destination, with the first being MPT Goa. Holding merely around a 10 percent stake, the Adani Group Goa project in MPT is rather minor. On the other hand, Vedanta and JSW run berths 5 and 6 and 8 and 9, respectively.

Except for Adani Group’s project in Goa, its stakes in other ports are q u i t e m a j o r. R e c e n t l y, t h e Competition Commission of India (CCI) approved the group’s proposed acquisition of its remaining 25 percent stake in Krishnapatnam port. With this, it now has 100 percent ownership of the port. In addition to this, Adani Group also has an 89.6 percent stake in Gangavaram port. However, after the recent move by the Andhra Pradesh government to sell the remaining state- owned 10.4 percent stake, APSEZ is on its way to gain full ownership of Gangavaram port as well.

New offshore LNG Terminal coming up in India KAKINADA: The technology group Wärtsilä will develop the regasification system for a new offshore LNG terminal to be built in the Bay of Bengal. The project is headed by Crown LNG, a Norwegian group specialising in developing LNG infrastructure for harsh weather conditions, with Oslo-based engineering company Aker Solutions as the main contractor. Wärtsilä Gas Solutions will conduct the front-end engineering and design (FEED) of the regasification system. The early phase of the FEED contract was booked in May 2021. Final Investment Decision for the project expected in 2022 with further equipment delivery of the regasification systems. The terminal will sit on the seabed approximately 19 kilometres north-east of Kakinada on India’s east coast,

approximately 11 km from the shoreline. It will be exposed to challenging monsoon weather conditions, and Wärtsilä’s extensive experience in delivering regasification systems for more than 20 similar floating storage and regasification units (FSRU) around the world was cited as a major consideration in the award of the contract. The Wärtsilä system will serve the terminal with an annual regasification capacity of 7.2 million metric tonnes, and will include the boil- off gas (BOG) handling and fuel gas systems. “This will be a challenging project, and the companies selected to engineer and design the systems required must be well qualified. Wärtsilä has an excellent track record in delivering regasification systems, and we are confident that they are a good match this assignment,” said

Sturla Magnus, EVP Topsides & Facilities in Aker Solutions. “We are honoured to have been chosen to design and deliver the regasification system for this LNG terminal project. Our regas systems are delivered as complete modules, with all the engineering, component procurement, and construction of the module carried out entirely by the company’s execution team. This makes integrating the modules very easy, and we look forward to smooth interconnection work with the other project partners,” commented Reidar Strande, General Manager, Strategy & Business Development, Wärtsilä Gas Solutions. It is estimated that the LNG terminal will be completed and fully operational approximately three years after the final investment decision has been made.

In addition, the number of containers handled rose by 1.9% to 1.9 million and the total vessels visiting the port rose by 13.7% to 843 vessels as the Port continues to expand operations.

DP World, UAE Region recognised as Hero Of The Pandemic & The Most Innovative Company DUBAI: DP World, UAE Region, the leading smart trade enabler, was recognised for its outstanding performance in governance and logistics during the pandemic in two categories, Hero of the Pandemic (Ports) and Most Innovative Company at the Transport & Logistics Middle East (TLME) Awards 2021. The awards were received by Shahab Al Jassmi, Commercial Director, Ports and Terminals, DP World – UAE Region and Ibrahim Al Najjar, Director IT, DP World – UAE Region in the presence of delegates from the industry. Abdulla Bin Damithan, CEO & Managing Director, DP World – UAE Region and Jafza said: “We are proud of being able to carry on the legacy of the leadership of the UAE and realise their vision to maintain Dubai’s status as a centre of trade. Since the onset of the pandemic, we have placed a high priority on Food Security, availability of medical equipment and safety of our people. We also assisted companies in building quarantine systems to ensure safe employee rotation to avoid any possibility of infections within their workforce and provided incentives to support companies through fee reductions of up to 70 per cent. Achieving this feat would not have been possible without the support of our customers and members of the DP World, UAE Region family, whose contribution is integral to our achievements.” Ensuring the safety of the community Throughout the pandemic, by introducing various initiatives, DP World, UAE Region ensured that the workforce

within their parks and zones remained safe and efficient as always. To ensure secure operations, the entity rolled out a vaccination drive that covered over 10,000 employees and their families.
