Activities like Shore-to-Ship power, use and promotion of electrically powered Port equipments, use of alternate fuels like LNG/CNG, Storage and bunkering facilities for environment friendly fuels like LNG, CNG, Hydrogen, Ammonia etc., transition towards renewable sources of energy including Solar Power, Wind Power, Tidal power etc. have already been initiated at many of the Major Ports of the country. ShriSarbanandaSonowal said‘‘TheMinistryfor Ports, Shipping and Waterways intends to increase the shareofrenewableenergyto60%ofthetotalpowerdemand of each of its major Ports from a present share of less than 10%.TheportshavealsoaimedtoreduceCarbonemissions, per ton of cargo handled, by 30% by the year 2030. The Maritime Vision Document-2030, released by Prime Minister, is a 10 Year blueprint on India’s vision of a sustainableMaritimesectorandvibrantblueeconomy’’.
Shri Sonowal said as envisaged in the National Hydrogen Mission, Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways has identified and nominated Paradip Port, Deendayal Port and V.O. Chidambarar Port for developing them as Hydrogen Hubs, capable of handling, storageandgenerationofgreenhydrogenbytheyear2030.
Ministry for Ports, Shipping and Waterways has undertaken green port initiatives in the major ports so that their environmental performance can be improved. The green port initiatives include acquisition of equipments for monitoring environmental pollution, acquisition of dust suppressionsystems,settingupofSTP’sgarbagedisposal system for ports and ships, developing shore reception facility for wastes from ships, setting up projects for energy generation from renewable energy sources, providingshorepowertoshipsatberths,creatingOil Spill Response (Tier-1) capabilities at all ports, taking actions to improve harbour water quality, inclusion of sustainable practices in terminal design, development and operation,increasinggreen coverwithinportpremisesetc.
InordertoenhancetheshareofGreenShipping,various projects are being implemented by Cochin Shipyard Ltd.,

HAIFA:Israel’sstrategicHaifaPort will be Adani Ports & SEZ’s (APSEZ) biggest revenue generator outside India,aseniorexecutivesaid.
APSEZ is also building an incubation centre at the port there which will be the biggest startup accelerator for the group, said the executive, speaking on the condition of anonymity.
India’s largest port operator is first focussedonthecitysidedevelopmentof the Haifa port, which would include the setting up of convention centres and hotelsapartfromtheincubationcentre, saidtheexecutive.
APSEZ is in talks with multiple partners including cruise operators to bolster tourist arrivals to the port, he added. It is also working closely with local municipal bodies to make the masterplan for city side development, he said. The company has 800 employees at the Haifa port including seniormanagementandportworkers.
APSEZ, in a 70:30 consortium with IsraelichemicalcompanyGadotGroup, had won the tender for privatising the
port at $1.18 billion. It took over the port inJanuary.
Haifa is the second largest port and one of the three major ports in Israel. Apartfromoperatingcontainercargo,it is the biggest hub for tourist cruises in the region. Over the years, Haifa has becomeincreasingly critical forIsrael’s thawing political relations with Gulf states, which have led to it harbouring ambitioustradetieswiththeregion.
“Strategically it is very well located. It is the eastern most harbour in the Mediterranean. Everyone wants to do economic activity there. There are future plans to connect the Middle East to the Mediterranean starting at UAE and concluding at Haifa via rail route, which will connect Saudi Arabia and Jordan on the rail corridor,” said the APSEZexecutive.
Haifa port also is strategically located for transhipment of cargo through the Mediterranean Sea through the UAE to ports in Europe. It provides an alternative route to the current more expensive one that goesviatheSuezCanal.
“Right now, every ship sailing through the Mediterranean has to pass through the Suez Canal. Prices keep going up. So, when the port is modernised and the railway connectivity is developed, it will reduce transit time and make an alternate gateway to Jordan, Saudi Arabia and theUAEandtoEurope,”headded.
Pramit Pal Chaudhury, Head of India practice at the Eurasia Group, said the alternative route and operations would increase efficiency of transportation by 60%.
Cargo railway lines are being planned to connect the UAE to Israel via Jordan and potentially Saudi Arabia, and Haifa would be integrated into the larger network. Last year, Chinese rival Shanghai International Port Group opened a containerterminaljustnextdoor.
APSEZ operates 13 ports in India and handles 24% of the country’s cargo. Earlier this year, it became the first Indian port operator to take over a Sri Lankan port.
NEW DELHI - The Indian Railways will soon introduce a digital locking system based on OTP to prevent thefts on board its freight and package trains, aseniorofficialsaidrecently.
The system will, according to officials, solely rely on secure OTP, which will be used to unlock and close carriages. “Over the course of the travel, the goods will not be available. Without any interference, it will be openedbyoneOTPandshutbyanother. All we do now is seal the trains and make sure the seal is intact at every station. This will significantly lessen problemswhilethetrainisrunning,”an officialdeclared.
To make sure the system functions properly, he stated that an employee of
therailway willreceive theOTPateach station where loading or unloading needstobedone.
The official described the procedure, stating that an OTP is delivered to the involved personnel’s mobile number when the lock is closed. The motorist must push the lock’s button to confirm the position after arriving at the desired spot.
An additional OTP is provided to the driver’s cellphone number when the driver’s OTP is verified in order to open the lock.
Moreover, the location of the train will be tracked. An alarm message will be sent to the official’s mobile number if a door tamper or collision occurs.
This device, which is frequently used by trucks, features a smart lock that is GPS equipped and enables real-time tracking of the vehicle to lower theft and pilferage.
According to officials, at least three railway zones are actively looking for businesses that could offer the Railways this service in a cost-effective method.
The Railways reported on January 25 that the RPF had registered 6492 cases of theft of railway property in 2022 and had recovered stolen goods worth Rs 7.37 crore with the arrest of 11268 offenders as part of “Operation Rail Suraksha.”
NEW DELHI : The Indian Railways will develop dedicated corridors to meet requirements of the cement sector, particularly passing through areas which have high concentration of such factories and raw materials such as clinker, limestoneandflyash.
Sources said the railway ministry informed the cement industry majors about this plan, which will take care of their needs. The national transporter is working on multiple plans to increase the modal share of cargo transported by the railways. Cement and its raw
materials have the third highest shareinthetotalfreightmovedbythe railways.
“We are working on cement corridors in different parts of the country, keeping in mind the existing factories and the upcoming plants in the next 10 years. We will lay additional lines where there is a need to increase our traffic carrying capacity and will also lay new lines where there is no existing link,”saidarailwayministryofficial.
The national transporter is going for corridor approach to increase cargo movement by rail,
which is crucial for its financial health.
Soonafterthe Union Budget was presented this month, Railway Minister Shri Ashwini Vaishnaw had said, “For infrastructure growth, the corridor approach will be used. Energy corridor, separate corridors for hilly areas, Janjatiya Gaurav Corridor,cement corridor…it will be a combination of social and economiccorridors.”
The railways has been focusing on attracting cargo from the road sector by offering better service and attractive price.
NEW DELHI : Merchandise exporters will have to pay 18% goods and services tax, or GST, on the services of transportation of goods, a move that the industry says could leadtocashflowissuesatatimewhen exportsaredeclining.
This follows a recommendation of the GST Council that the place of supply of transportation of goods mustbedeterminedonthelocationof the service receiver, rather than on thebasisofdestinationofgoods.
Government officials said the move aims to provide tax parity between foreign and Indian shipping lines with regard to integrated GST on transportation of goods by vessels from India to outside India and viceversa.
Currently, the export freight rate
charged by Indian shipping lines to Indian exporters is taxable while freight charged by foreign shipping linestoIndianexportersfortransport ofgoodstoaplaceoutsideIndiaisnot taxable as it is neither an inter-state noranintra-statesupply.
Experts said while the GST paid would be available as a credit to most of the exporters as they can claim a refund, this may impact their cash flow.
India’s exports contracted in January on the back of declining demandinadvancedeconomies.
“Therecentchangeintheplaceof supplyoftransportationofgoodswill removelastmileconnectivitycostsof overseasexportersandimportersfor whom this GST was in any case not creditable,”saidBipinSapra,partner,
A specific clarification that the defaultruleisoperatingruleforPOS (place of supply) in case of not only transportation of goods butalsoforcourierandmailservices will help the industry benefit from thischange,Saprasaid.
Some experts said it will increase tax burden on certain exporter like those dealing in alcohol, which is outside ambit of GST.
“While the desired principle will provide consistency between services of transportation of goods and courier services, the proposal will lead to applicability of tax for export of goods,” said Abhishek A Rastogi, founder of lawfirmRastogiChambers.

MOSCOW - President Vladimir PutinrecentlysaidRussiaisdeveloping the ambitious North-South Transport Corridor,which will open upnew routes for business cooperation with India, IranandPakistan,aswellasWestAsian countries.
Inhisonehourand45minutesState of the Nation Address to the Federal Assembly, Putin also said that Russia will expand promising international economic connections, as well as build new supply corridors, as the US-led West has imposed crippling sanctions forMoscow’sinvasionofUkrainenearly oneyearago.
“We will develop the ports of the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov, we will particularly focus on the North-South International Corridor,” Putin said, notingthatitwillopenupnewroutesfor business cooperation with India, Iran, Pakistan as well as West Asian countries.
“We will continue developing this

“What areas should the state, regions, and local businesses focus theirpartnershipworkon?First,wewill expand promising international economic connections and build new supply corridors,” he said in the speech days before the Ukraine war’s first anniversaryonFriday,17thFeb.
The International North-South Transport Corridor (INSTC) is a 7,200km-long multi-mode transport project for moving freight among India, Iran, Afghanistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Russia,CentralAsiaandEurope.
The INSTC is India’s vision and initiative to reduce the time taken for export-import shipments to reach Russia and Europe, and enter the CentralAsianmarkets.
DuringavisittoYerevaninArmenia in October 2021, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar proposed that the strategic Chabahar Port in Iran be
included in the North-South Transport Corridorthathasthepotentialtobridge connectivitybarriers.
The Chabahar port in the SistanBalochistan province intheenergy-rich nation’s southern coast is easily accessible from India’s western coast and is increasingly seen as a counter to Pakistan’s Gwadar Port located at a distance of around 80 km from Chabahar.
ThefirstphaseoftheChabaharport was inaugurated in December 2017 by then-Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, opening a new strategic route connecting Iran, India and Afghanistan bypassingPakistan.
The Chabahar port is being considered a gateway to golden opportunities for trade by India, Iran and Afghanistan with Central Asian countries, besides ramping up trade among the three countries in the wake of Pakistan denying transit access to NewDelhi.
NEW DELHI - India’s imports of Russian steel rose to an eight-year high during the first 10 months of the financialyearthatbeganinApril2022, Government data compiled by Reutersshowed.
India, the world’s second-largest crude steel producer, imported 281,000 tonnes of steel from Russia between April and January, nearly five times higher than the same periodayearago,thedatashowed.
The rising imports are the result of a shift in Russian steel trade flows to Asia after Western sanctions were imposed on Russia after its invasion of Ukraine last year. The change is displacingsometraditionalsuppliers, and domestic steel producers are raising concerns about potentially losing market share to the lower pricedimports

NEW DELHI - India is evaluating the US’ green subsidy package—which offers over $400 billion worth of tax incentives, grants, and loan incentives to domestic manufacturers of green technology products—and examining possible arrangements that could be entered into with Washington to make Indian exports of similar itemscheaperandcreatealevelplayingfield,accordingto officials.Thegreensubsidies,beingprovidedundertheUS Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) signed in August 2022, are expected to benefit local manufacturers in a range of sectors, including clean electricity and transmission, and cleantransportation,suchaselectricvehicles(Evs).
“The Government has convened a study to look at the sectorsthatstandtobenefitintheUSunderIRAandshortlistproductswhereIndiacouldseekfavourabletreatment. IndustrybodiesarealsobeingconsultedbytheCommerce Department for their comments and suggestions,” an officialtrackingthemattersaid.
While India has to argue against the favourable treatment for domestic producers under the IRA on the basisofWTOprinciples,assomesubsidiesaredependent on the use of domestic goods and domestic production, bilaterally too it needs to be seen if a compromise can be
workedout,theofficialsaid.
“IftheUS’objectiveistocontrolinflationanditistrying to give subsidies to make certain domestically manufactured items cheaper, then the same logic should apply for imports. Inflation reduction should go both ways. How that can be done needs to be worked out. We have already started some discussions bilaterally, but we will firmupourargumentsandnegotiateoncetheimplications of the IRA are more clear in terms of product coverage,” theofficialsaid.TheEUwasoneofthefirstWTOmembers to raise concerns about the IRA and its impact on competitors from the EU in the subsidised sectors, including automotives. It is also in bilateral talks with the USonthematter.
Last month, the EU announced its intention to put forwardanewNet-Zero IndustryAct,whichsomeexperts say is in response to the IRA. “The aim will be to focus investment on strategic projects along the entire supply chain. We will especially look at how to simplify and fasttrack permitting for new clean tech production sites,” accordingtoEuropeanCommissionPresident,Ursulavon derLeyen.

The Japanese liner, MitsuiOSKLines(MOL), was the first to develop these windshields for use on ships. MOL installed its first windshield on the MOL MARVEL in 2015 and reported a 2% reduction in fuel expenditure.

Throughtheimplementationof DP World’s SeaRates,a digital platform that allows the process of identifying and bookingcargoroutestotakeplaceinseconds,cargoowners will be able to compare quotes from multiple providers and make informed decisions on the optimal route for their shipments. Serving as a ‘digital freight forwarder’, the SeaRates platform will enable CCCSA’s customers to monitor the status and movement details of a container at any point during its journey, allowing full visibility as well as theefficientmovementofitemsfromAtoB.
In addition to supporting the digitalising of trade, the partnership will further strengthen ties in the two growing markets of the Greater Caspian Region and Africa.
