LONDON: The global commercial shipping industry could cut down its carbon emissions by 47 million tonnes per year by deploying artificial intelligence for sea navigation, a study by autonomous shipping startup Orca AI showed on Tuesday
The use of the technology could reduce the need for maneuvers and route deviation from close encounters with highrisk marine targets such as vessels, buoys and sea mammals by alerting the crew in real time, according to the report
Shipping, responsible for moving about 90% of global trade, contributes nearly 3% to the world’s carbon dioxide emissions. This share is anticipated to rise in the coming years unless stricter pollution control measures are implemented.
The International Maritime Organization aims to cut emissions by 20% by 2030, a target under threat from the ongoing Red Sea crisis.
“In the short term, it can lead to fewer crew members on the bridge, while those who are on the bridge will have a reduced workload and more attention to tackle complex navigational tasks, optimizing the voyage and reducing fuel and emissions,” Orca AI CEO Yarden Gross told.
Global carbon dioxide shipping emissions reached an estimated 858 million tonnes in 2022, a marginal rise from the previous year, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. An average of 2,976 marine incidents are reported per year, Orca AI’s study showed.
The reduction in route deviations could help ships shave off 38.2 million nautical miles per year from their travel, saving an average of $100,000 in fuel costs per vessel, according to Orca AI’s report.

NEW DELHI: The government has proposed to amend the export obligation period for wheat, raw sugar, n a t u r a l r u b b e r , s p i c e s , pharmaceuticals and tea, among other sectorstofacilitatetheirexports
India allows duty free import of inputs used for manufacturing for e x p o r t s s u b j e c t i n a d v a n c e authorisation to export obligation period in which exporters have to ship the goods within a stipulated time period otherwise they’re penalised.
The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) has sought
comments of all the concerned stakeholders on the proposed amendments within 15 days.
The proposed relaxations in the obligation period for coconut oil to six months from 90 days, silk in any form to 12 months from nine months, and six months for wheat, raw sugar, natural rubber, maize and walnut.
“This has been requested to facilitate exports and operate within a higher trust based eco-system,” DGFT said in a trade notice.
To amend the export obligation period, the DGFT has proposed to
amend an appendix of foreign trade policy’s handbook of procedures 2023
promotion councils and exporters regarding the review of the appendix which deals with the sectors and their respective export obligation period.
“This directorate is proposing a review of the export obligation period as mentioned in Appendix - 4J All stakeholders are advised to provide their comments / suggestions / views with regard to proposed amendments,” the DGFT said.
AHMEDABAD: Adani Ports & Special Economic Zone Ltd.’s market capitalisation has climbed to about $37 billion, overtaking peer Beijing-Shanghai High Speed Railway Co. Rising cargoes and entry into India’s benchmark S&P BSE Sensex Index may extend its rally
“It’s the beginning of a journey for Adani Ports,” said Deven Choksey, MD at DRChoksey FinServ Pvt. Expansion is becoming more natural for the company now that it’s generating cash and can already manage millions of metric tons of cargo, he said.
Adani Ports handled about 27 per cent of India’s total cargo and around 44 per cent of container
cargoes in the year to March 31, according to a company statement. Its volumes increased 24 per cent from a year earlier, with ten of its domestic ports recording their highest-ever cargo volumes, the statement said.
The company ’s “acquisition appetite” and strong balance sheet indicate further growth, said
Priyankar Biswas, an analyst at BNP Paribas Securities India Pvt. Adani Ports agreed to buy India’s Gopalpur port in March and purchased a majority stake in a Tanzanian containerterminalearlierthismonth
The stock will also begin trading on India’s benchmark equity gauge starting Monday. Its admission is
expected to bring in flows of $252 million, according to Nuvama Alternative & Quantitative Research. Still, Adani Ports faces several risks following India’s election, according to Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Denise Wong. Its stock fell more than 20 per cent on June 4 after Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s alliance won a surprisingly slim majority, though has since recouped some losses.
“A d a n i Po r t s m a y h a v e a n uncertain earnings growth outlook u n d e r I n d i a ’ s n e w c o a l i t i o n government,” Wong wrote in a report. “Adani Group firms could also be vulnerable to renewed regulatory scrutiny.”
NEW DELHI: Amid the crisis in the Red Sea, many of exporters in the region are opting for air cargo despite higher freights cost to meet their obligation in a timely manner According to insiders, exporters of apparel, pharmaceuticals and auto parts are opting for air cargo at times to meet the urgency
According to exporters, it has been nearly eight months, but the crisis at the Red Sea refused to relent impacting their bottom lines.
“Amid the crisis, the freight rates have been doubled as merchant vessels takes different route to reach to the US and other European markets. The industry is not only losing precious revenue on account of higher freight cost and higher insurance premium but also the merchant vessels takes 5-6 days more to reach to the designated destination as they take different routes. So in such a scenario, at time some of the exporters are using air route to reach
faster to their customers,” said Harish Dua, managing director of Ludhiana-based KG Exports.
The volume of the air cargo may be small compared to merchant vessels but it has picked up in last eight months According to insiders, exporters of apparel are also using air cargo at times to meet the urgency besides pharmaceutical and auto parts. The major apparel hubs in the northern India are in Ludhiana, Jalandhar, Panipat, Gurugram and Noida. Punjab and Haryana alone have around 200 exporters.
For India, Red Sea is an important shipping route for goods traded to the U S a n d E u r o p e a n c o u n t r i e s . Commodities such as apparel, auto p a r t s , e n g i n e e r i n g g o o d s , pharmaceuticals and chemicals from India pass through the route. It is estimated that about 80% of India’s merchandise trade with Europe passes through this route So, the disruption has had a critical effect on
exports from India, particularly from the northern region.
According to exporters, the crisis has not only hit their bottom lines but also hit the export orders. “If we factor the high sea freight cost which has almost doubled since the crisis, then t h e p r o d u c t d o e s n’ t r e m a i n competitive. Moreover, many of the European countries are in crisis so both the factors combined leads to lesser orders,’” said an exporter from Haryana.
According to Danish shipper Maersk, the latest threats of escalation of violence in the Red Sea in May amid the ongoing IsraelHamas conflict are likely to hit the shipping industry’s capacity by 15-20 per cent.
It is worth noting that the crisis started in October last year when Iran-backed Houthis seized and launched aerial attacks against dozens of merchant and naval vessels in the Red Sea.

NEW DELHI: India’s efforts to boost manufacturing and cut its dependence on Chinese imports appear to have met with some success with merchandise imports from the neighbour declining in the three months since January before flattening out, according to data from the Commerce Ministry.
However, the overall bilateral trade remains heavily skewed in f a v o u r o f C h i n a , w i t h I n d i a n i n d u s t r i e s a c r o s s s e c t o r s significantly dependent on Chinese manufacturing.
Chinese goods imports fell from $8.96 billion in January to $8.09 billion in February, $7.75 billion in March, and was flat at $7.79 billion in April.
China’s share in India’s imports too declined during Januar yFebruary, despite a rising trend in overall imports.
During January, while India’s total imports stood at $53.35 billion, China’s share stood at 16.79%, which fell to 13 46% in February when total imports rose to $60.11 billion.
However, China’s share in India’s imports stood at 13.53% and 14.4% in March and April, respectively, while imports stood at $57 billion and $54 billion respectively
During April, China took the largest share in India’s import basket, followed by Russia (9.7%), the United Arab Emirates (6.14%), the US (5.9%) and Saudi Arabia (5.9%).
India largely imports crude oil from Russia, the UAE and Saudi Arabia.
Cutting non-essential imports
Top imports from China include
telecom and smartphone parts, laptops and PCs, plastic, iron and steel, chemicals, non-assembled cells, lithium-ion batteries, fertilizers and other electronic goods like radio t r a n s m i s s i o n a n d t e l e v i s i o n apparatus parts.
India has been working to cut imports of non-essential consumer and electronic goods from China in a bid to narrow a trade imbalance.
“The rising trade imbalance with China is a concern. In some strategic sectors like renewable energy, electronics, and pharmaceuticals, we are dependent on China for raw materials. However, there are other non-essential sectors where such imports could be cut down,” said a senior official, who spoke under the condition of anonymity
“Dumping of cheap Chinese products into the country will not be encouraged. Measures in terms of anti-dumping duties in certain steel p
machinery, wheel loaders, and gypsum tiles, among others, have been taken to protect domestic manufacturers. However, for India to significantly reduce its trade i

e s e products,” the person added Rise in exports
The trade imbalance is stark India’s exports to China rose from $15.31 billion in 2022-23 to $16.67 billion in 2023-24.
By contrast, India’s imports from China rose from $98.51 billion in
2022-23 to $101.75 billion in 2023-24.
Overall, China was India’s largest bilateral trade partner in 2023-24.
During 2023-24, bilateral trade between India and China stood at $118.4 billion. During the fiscal year, i m p o r t s i n c r e a s e d 3 . 2 4 % t o $101.7 billion and exports rose 8.7% to $16.67 billion.
For 2023-24 as a whole, India’s merchandise exports stood at $437 06 billion, down from $451 07 billion during the previous fiscal.
G o o d s i m p o r t s f e l l t o $677 24 billion from $715 97 billion recorded during the same period.
“
y e a r s , China’s share in India’s industrial product imports has increased significantly, from 21% to 30%. 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 countries,” said Global Trade Research Initiative (GTRI), an economic think tank, in a recent report.
The report s
significant reliance on Chinese i m p o r t s a c
electronics, machinery, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and textiles, with some sectors relying on as much as 70% of Chinese imports.
Reducing this reliance, it said “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”.

NEW DELHI: India is set to import avocados from Brazil for the first time, aiming to address the high prices of the fruit in the domestic market, which range from Rs 100 to 2,000 per kilogram depending on the variety. This move is part of a broader agriculture deal being negotiated between the two countries.
Avocado imports are permitted under India’s Open General Licence (OGL). Brazil, known for being one of
the largest avocado producers globally, will supply hass avocados to India initially Negotiations between Indian buyers and Brazilian sellers are underway, with contracts expected to be finalized soon.
Brazil plans to export smaller avocados that are less consumed domestically, starting with shipments potentially as early as February 2025. The initiative aims to introduce B
consumers, potentially stabilizing prices and offering more affordable options compared to the current imported varieties. To promote this new trade, Brazil’s export promotion agency, ApexBrasil, will conduct a workshop in Mumbai by the end of August to familiarize Indian stakeholders with Brazilian avocados’ flavors and quality So far, Indian demand has mostly been met by imports from Tanzania, Australia, New Zealand, Peru and US.

MUMBAI: Inflation looks to be easing across the developed world, except for one glaring pocket of hot prices: cargo costs on the high seas
Spot rates for full-size shipping containers to the US and Europe from Asia rose again in the most recent data, with three key routes all topping $6,000 for a 40-foot equivalent unit, according to the Drewry World Container Index, released recently They’ve all tripled since the end of 2023, though the pace of increases is moderating.
Nearly six months of regular attacks on vessels in the Red Sea has stretched capacity in an industry responsible for moving about 80% of all international goods trade,
disrupting the normal flow and leading to bottlenecks in some of Asia’s biggest ports Singapore’s maritime gateway, among the world’s most vital crossroads for s e a b o r n e f r e i g h t , i s f a c i n g a sustained period of congestion The waiting time for berth space there is nearing five days, according to industry estimates, and it’s ranging from one to four days in the Chinese ports of Ningbo, Shanghai and Qingdao
On top of stretched supply, demand for goods is solid especially in the US Imports at the Port of Los Angeles, the busiest seaport in the US, remained above the prepandemic peak in the first five months of 2024 despite ticking down in May
According to Drewry, the cost of a 4 0 - f o o t c o n t a i n e r t o m o v e merchandise to Los Angeles from Shanghai last week rose 0.8% to $6,025. That was the sixth straight week of gains. The charge for Shanghai to Rotterdam increased 2.4% to $6,177, the highest level since September 2022.
From Shanghai to Genoa, Italy, in the Mediterranean Sea — among the routes hardest hit by the shipping industry’s avoidance of the Red Sea the rate rose by 3% to $6,862, according to Drewry. That was also the highest since September 2022. Drewry said it “expects that freight rates from China will continue to rise next week due to congestion issues at Asian ports.”
NEW DELHI: Despite a recordbreaking harvest and a significant increase of nearly 14.1 million tonne in foodgrain production, farmers continue to face distress, thanks to the ban on the export of key agricultural commodities to contain inflation during the elections.
According to farmers, traders, food policy experts and other stakeholders, it is the ban on nonbasmati rice, sugar and wheat that has led to 6.36 per cent decline in the country’s agricultural exports, bringing it to $25,016.05 million in 2023-24 from $26,717 72 million in 2022-23.
Over the past three years, the export ban has resulted in
a cumulative loss of $4,880 million, according to data from the Ministry of Commerce and Industry The ban has resulted in the financial loss of $6,193 million to all stakeholders in the last fiscal alone.
Non-basmati rice exports fell sharply from $6,356 million to $4,573 m i l l i o n , w h i l e s u g a r e x p o r t s decreased from $5,770 million to $2,824 million. Wheat exports, which faces a complete ban, plummeted from $1,520 million to just $56 million.

Experts and traders stress a pro-farmer export policy is essential to address the issue of declining agricultural income. Although major political parties have promised to boost farmers’ earnings, none has emphasised the critical need to overhaul the export policy to effectively tackle the issue.
NEW YORK: Fitch Ratings raised India's growth forecast to 7.2 per cent from 7 per cent for the ongoing financial year on the back of a rapid growth seen in recent quarters underpinned by a 'fast expansion' in investment, per June Global Economic Outlook released recently
Indian economy grew 7.8 per cent in the final quarter of FY24, higher than Fitch Ratings' expectations, while it grew 8.2 per cent in FY24 overall.
"Falling indirect taxes net of subsidies have boosted GDP growth relative to gross value-added at basic prices. The latter is currently a better guide to underlying momentum and has been growing at just over 7 per cent," Fitch said.
T h e r a t i n g a g e n c y e x p e c t s investment to continue rising in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's third term, however, more slowly than seen in recent quarters. It also expects consumer spending to recover owing to elevated consumer confidence.
Fitch expects the 'above normal' monsoon forecast for June-September to limit risks from food price spikes. Fitch expects headline inflation in India to decline to 4.5 per cent by the end of 2024 and average 4.3 per cent in 2025 and 2026.
Fitch on global growth prospects
Meanwhile, it said that the global growth is expected to slow in 2025 despite monetary easing in 2024.
"The global monetary policy cycle is
entering a new phase, in which rates will be falling slowly but to levels that will still be restricting demand. We expect the ECB to cut rates twice more this year, and the Fed to start cutting rates in September with another cut in December This is later than we had expected, reflecting stalled disinflation momentum in the first four months of the year But US wage growth is gradually cooling," said in a report.
"Nevertheless, central banks remain cautious about loosening policy too rapidly, particularly in light of high services inflation Pressures from rising labour costs and housing rents and the normalisation of relative price trends are keeping services inflation elevated," it further said.
LONDON: Since early May, shippers, forwarders/NVOs, ocean carriers and ports have experienced a return to capacity challenges, soaring spot freight rates, chronic port delays and a surge of traffic volumes.
Some shippers are having issues securing capacity at agreed contract rates. The Drewry World Container Index, a weighted average of spot rates on 8 East-West routes, had declined steadily from $3,964/40ft container in January to $2,705 in late April, as carrier networks appeared to settle down after the start of Red Sea attacks. But spot rates then surged 74% between late April and early June – and we know from shippers that many are asked to pay Peak Season Surcharges.
Drewry has previously identified 4 causal factors behind the recent problems:
1.Stagnant capacity
2.Very strong demand growth
3.Shipper behaviour
4.Operational disruption
Here is our latest independent assessment of these factors and their durations.
Stagnant capacity
Drewry data shows that carriers have added many ships into their East-West services to compensate for the longer routes now used by nearly all the former Suez Canal-dependent carriers. On the Asia-North Europe route, according to Drewry Container Forecaster data, carriers have increased their number of ships 24% and their total capacity 17%
But this large addition of ships resulted in only a 2% increase in the monthly effective capacity per month, to 1.1 mteu, because these assets are now sailing over longer distances and are less productive than before the Red Sea attacks started.
On the Asia-East Coast of North America route, carriers increased their number of ships 9% during the same period, but their effective capacity per month increased… 0%.
This is a key factor behind the current tight capacity: about 1 million teu of ship capacity was delivered in the first 4 months of 2024, but this made zero difference to the monthly effective capacity provided to the market.
In our analysis of capacity problems, Drewry considers that the remaining capacity due to be delivered during 2024 will, finally, have
an expansionary effect on effective capacity It will not be a repeat of merely correcting the need for more ships after the Red Sea diversions. Very strong demand growth
Data for May is still limited, but it is clear that transpacific volumes and volumes on several other routes are stronger than a year ago.
According to the National Retail Federation, US containerised imports in May were forecast to reach 2.1 mteu, an increase of 8% from the 1.9 mteu of May 2023.
We note that, back in May 22, during the pandemic, US imports totalled 2.4 mteu, so the May 24 figure is still 12% lower than during the previous troublesome volume peak. Shipper behaviour
A s u r v e y o f D r e w r y Benchmarking Club members –a group of 100+ multinationals –f o u n d t h a t a p r o p o r t i o n o f international shippers are indeed shipping early, this year This precautionary policy, often intended to ensure that shipments arrive in time, may intentionally cause capacity issues and delays, because the capacity and infrastructures are stressed.
In our analysis of the market, we consider that an early peak season is both a short-term change in the market and a signal that there will be a volume vacuum when the peak volumes have been completed.
Operational disruption
Port productivity has also taken a hit in recent months. The time spent by ships waiting before berthing at high-volume ports tracked by Drewry increased 43% between 3Q23 and 2Q24 – to over 400,000 hours. We heard that a major transhipment port in Asia is experiencing a density of shipping containers in their terminals close to the records of the pandemic. Port strikes on the US East and Gulf coasts could widen the operational disruptions
T h e r e f o r e , t h e l a r g e - s c a l e changes in liner networks and the relocation of much transhipment activity to new locations have still not normalised.
It is now clear that operational d i s r
y constraining supply According to preliminary numbers from the Drewry Container Forecaster (2Q-24 Edition currently being finalised) –
the supply-demand balance in the g l o b a l c o n t a i n e r m a r k e t h a s increased.
With all these moving pieces, Drewry is now considering the likely duration of the Red Sea diversions and the impact of port congestion on s u p p l y a n d s u p p l y D i f f e r
n t scenarios must be considered, and some negative factors are expected to continue after the end of this year
Of the 4 factors causing the current capacity and efficiency issues, only some look to last longer than a year The end of the peak season, the continuous delivery of new ships and the re-opening of the Suez Canal route could all help redress the current supply-demand problems.
Frankly, nobody can answer when normal shipping operations will resume (i.e. when the Suez Canal will be back in full-scale use) with any degree of confidence, but Drewry has tried to harness the collective wisdom of our customers, many of which are involved at the coal face, to at least formulate an educated guess and get a sense of the range of opinions.
The survey results are quite bleak, w i t h l e s s t h a n 1 7 % o f t h e 90 respondents anticipating an end to Red Sea diversions before 2024 is out.
While 2H24 was the second favoured option, it was a long way behind the clear favourite, 1H25, which garnered a clear majority of 60%. The third most popular choice was 2H25 with 14.4%, followed by 1H26 with 5 6% Only 3% of respondents were so pessimistic that they couldn’t see an end to the situation before the end of 2026.
Responses to the ancillar y question on how long it will take liner operations to normalise once the Red Sea diversions are over, suggests that things will not snap back into p l a c e n e a t l y s t r a i g h t a w a y Most respondents (43%) opted for a 3-month normalisation period, followed by “longer than 3 months” at 27% and 2-months at 25%.
Drewry’s View
There is no consensus expectation that the Red Sea crisis will end this year, despite diplomatic talks concerning Gaza Shippers should expect the continuation of long transit times and higher risks of transport and supply chain disruptions, plus continued capacity challenges in the short term.
