Private Terminal Operators may soon get to fix tariffs
NEW DELHI: India could soon free up tariff fixation for existing private terminal operators at ports a d m i n i s t e r e d b y t h e c e n t r a l government, officials said. The move is aimed at giving flexibility to private operators in deciding tariffs.
As per the tariff migration guidelines being firmed up, all publicp r i v a t e p a r t n e r s h i p ( P P P ) concessionaires will be allowed to frame their Scale of Rates (SoR) and shift to market-based tariffs, a Government official said.
“This will usher in a level playing field among public-private partnership terminal operators that have been adhering to multiple tariff regimes,” the official said. These tariff guidelines will apply to all the PPP concessionaires at Major Ports, the official added.
China prepares for 32,000 TEU Boxships
BEIJING: While much of the rest of the liner world is favouring new ships that are sub-megamax, China continues to push the size envelope when it comes to the container trades.
Among the more headlinegrabbing announcements coming out of the giant SMM exhibition in Hamburg earlier this month, China State Shipbuilding Corporation’s (CSSC) Shanghai Ship Research and Design Institute received approval in principle for a 27,500 TEU LNG dualfuel containership (pictured), more
than 3,000 TEU larger in capacity than the existing biggest boxships afloat.
Elsewhere, the world’s largest port, Ningbo-Zhoushan, has just started construction of its latest berths, with the port revealing the two new facilities are being designed in order to accommodate 32,000 TEU ships. To the south, Yantian, the eastern Shenzhen port, is also building new berths capable of handling 32,000 TEU vessels.
C u r r e n t l y, M e d i t e r r a n e a n Shipping Co (MSC) holds the mantle
for the biggest containership in operation, taking delivery of a series of 24,346 TEU ships last year.
T h e j u m b o i s a t i o n o f containerships has seen vessel capacities nearly quadruple in size this century. However, over the past year orders from global carriers have tended to be for ships in the 16,000 teu range, a more flexible size that can work across a range of tradelanes, rather than just the Asia-Europe route where today’s megamaxes are deployed.

Consumer Electronics and Durables Summit 2024, DPIIT Secretary
A m a r d e e p S i n g h B h a t i a emphasized the critical role logistics play in driving the expansion of ecommerce across India Using companies like Amazon and Flipkart as prime examples, he highlighted h o w t h e y h a v e s u c c e s s f u l l y penetrated even the most remote regions of the country, underscoring the importance of an efficient logistics network in supporting this growth.
Bhatia pointed out that logistics costs in India are already on a downward trend, largely due to the availability of adequate skilled labor, which has been instrumental in reducing operational expenses He credited several key factors for this reduction, including Government initiatives such as protection f r o m p r e d a t o r y i m p o r t s , t h e implementation of Production Linked
Incentive (PLI) schemes, and the enhanced availability of working capital. These measures, he said, are vital in strengthening the logistics ecosystem, which in turn supports the broader goals of the consumer durables and e-commerce sectors.
While advocating for increased expend

h and development (R&D), Bhatia stressed that the industry should not only focus on collaborations based on current domestic demand but also prepare for the future export market. He emphasized that as logistics costs c o n t
, I n d i a n companies must leverage this advantage to scale their presence in global markets.
Drawing comparisons to exportdriven economies like Thailand and China, Bhatia acknowledged that India’s consumer durables industry has already established a strong foothold in regions such as Africa and
he underscored that true success would be measured by the industry’s ability to export to more developed nations, such as Japan This, he noted, would require a relentless focus on maintaining high standards of quality and achieving technological leadership to remain competitive on the global stage.
During the summit, a report titled Vision 2030: India’s Rise as a Global Force in Consumer Electronics and Durables was released. The report projected that by 2030, India’s consumer durables industry would grow to Rs 5 lakh crore, creating 5 lakh jobs for skilled workers throughout the value chain Bhatia reiterated that the continuous reduction of logistics costs would be a critical factor in enabling the industr y to achieve these ambitious goals, as it would enhance India’s competitiveness in both domesticandinternationalmarkets.

Bilateral Investment Treaty set to provide a boost to India-Uzbekistan economic ties
N E W D E L H I : I n d i a a n d Uzbekistan have taken a significant step in strengthening their economic relationship with the signing of a Bilateral Investment Treaty (BIT) in Tashkent. The treaty was signed by India’s Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and Uzbekistan’s Deputy Prime Minister Khodjayev Jamshid Abdukhakimovich on September 27, 2024 This agreement is seen as a pivotal moment in fostering greater economic cooperation between the two nations.
The BIT is designed to offer protection and promote investment by ensuring both Indian investors in Uzbekistan and Uzbek investors in India receive fair treatment. It aligns with international precedents and p r a c t i c e s , e n h a n c i n g i n v e s t o r confidence and paving the way for more r o b u s t b i l a t e r a l i n v e s t m e n t s By offering legal safeguards and assurances, the treaty is expected to bolster economic ties and create a more secure environment for business ventures between the two countries.
The Bilateral Investment Treaty includes several key provisions that aim to protect investors while maintaining a
balance between investor rights and the state’s regulatory powers. One of the primary aspects of the BIT is that it guarantees a minimum standard of treatment and non-discrimination for investors. This ensures that foreign investors are not treated less favorably than domestic investors in either country
Additionally, the treaty establishes an independent dispute settlement mechanism through arbitration, which will provide a neutral forum for resolving conflicts between investors and states. This is a critical aspect, as it assures investors that their rights will be protected through a transparent and impartial process if any disputes arise.
The treaty also includes provisions for protecting investments from expropriation. If a government seizes an investment for public purposes, the BIT ensures that investors are compensated fairly This provision is crucial in maintaining investor trust, as it protects against sudden and arbitrary expropriation.
Fu r t h e r, t h e B I T p r o m o t e s transparency and allows for the free transfer of funds related to investments, ensuring that investors can move
capital freely without excessive restrictions. Compensation for losses, including those incurred during periods of political unrest or instability, is also covered under the treaty
D e s p i t e t h e s e p r o t e

US East Coast dockworkers strike, halting half the nation’s ocean shipping
NEW YORK : Dockworkers on the U.S. East Coast and Gulf Coast began a strike early, their first large-scale stoppage in nearly 50 years, halting the flow of about half the nation’s ocean shipping after negotiations for a new labor contract broke down over wages.
The strike blocks everything from food to automobile shipments across dozens of ports from Maine to Texas, in a disruption analysts warned will cost the economy billions of dollars a day, threaten jobs, and potentially stoke inflation.
T h e I n t e r n a t i o n a l Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) union representing 45,000 port workers had been negotiating with the United States Maritime Alliance (USMX) employer group for a new six-year contract ahead of a midnight Sept. 30 deadline.
The ILA said in a statement on Tuesday it shut down all ports from Maine to Texas at 12:01 a.m. ET (0401 GMT) and had rejected USMX’s final proposal made on Monday, adding the offer fell “far short of the demands of its members to ratify a new contract”.
T h e I L A’ s l e a d e r, H a r o l d Daggett, has said employers such as container ship operator Maersk and its APM Terminals North America have not offered appropriate pay increases or agreed to demands to stop port automation projects.
The USMX said in a statement on Monday it had offered to hike wages by nearly 50%, up from a prior proposal. Daggett, meanwhile, said the union is pushing for a 61.5% pay increase, according to CNBC.
“We are prepared to fight as long as necessary, to stay out on strike for whatever period of time it takes, to get the wages and protections against automation our ILA members deserve,” Daggett said.
“USMX owns this strike now. They now must meet our demands for this strike to end.”
USMX did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The strike, the ILA’s first since 1977, is worrying businesses that rely on ocean shipping to export their wares or secure crucial imports,
as it affects 36 ports that handle a range of containerized goods from bananas to clothing to cars.
Retailers in recent months have accelerated holiday imports and are moving other shipments to the U.S. West Coast where possible.
“We expect the strike itself to last for five to seven days until a government intervention but the ripple effect is likely to be felt across the whole network into Europe, into Asia for at least into January, Fe b r u a r y, ” s a i d Pe t e r S a n d , Chief Analyst at Shipping Pricing platform Xeneta
Barclays researchers said they expect European automakers like B M W, M e r c e d e s M B G n . D E , Volkswagen VOWG_p.DE and Volvo VOLCARb ST to be among the car companies whose imports would be affected, but noted that relatively high inventories will shield the immediate impact. Automakers Hyundai and GM GM.N said they were monitoring the strike and had contingency plans in place.
T h e r e a r e n e a r l y 1 0 0 , 0 0 0 containers in New York City-area ports alone waiting to be unloaded, now frozen by the strike, and 35 container ships headed to New York o v e r t h e c o m i n g w
e k , s a i d Rick Cotton, Executive Director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
The union is “holding the entire country over a barrel,” said Steve Hughes, CEO of HCS International, which specializes in automotive sourcing and shipping. “I’m really afraid that it is going to be ugly.”
The dispute is also wedging laborfriendly U.S. President Joe Biden into a virtual no-win position as Vice President Kamala Harris runs a razor-tight election race against Republican former President Donald Trump.
White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients and top economic adviser LaelBrainard urged USMX board members at a meeting to resolve the dispute fairly and quickly, a White House official said But Biden’s administration has repeatedly ruled out the use of federal powers to break
White House says
a strike in the event of an impasse.
U S Chamber of Commerce
President Suzanne Clark urged Biden to reconsider, saying it “would be unconscionable to allow a contract dispute to inflict such a shock to our economy.”
The White House said in a statement that it is monitoring the e f f e c t s o n t h e s u p p l y c h a i n “and assessing ways to address potential impacts,” noting the initial effect on consumers is expected to be limited.
Officials were quoted by Reuters on the condition of anonymity they are hoping for a short strike, pointing to the sign the two sides had resumed talks late on Sunday and had narrowed their differences.
T h e U S D e p a r t m e n t o f Agriculture said that it does not expect “significant changes to food prices or availability in the near term.”
Economists at Capital Economics said the strike is “unlikely to trigger major economic disruption,” though they added that a lengthy stoppage would force Biden to step in if the two sides cannot come to an agreement.
BACKUP PLANS
Retailers accounting for about half of all container shipping volume have been busily implementing backup plans as they head into their allimportant winter holiday sales season.
Many of the big players rushed in H a l l o w e e n a n d C h r i s t m a s merchandise early to avoid any strikerelated disruptions, incurring extra costs to ship and store those goods.
Retail behemoth Walmart the largest U S container shipper, and m e m b e r
h o u s e c
u b operator Costco say they are doing everything they can to mitigate any impact.
New York Governor K athy Hochul said the state expects no immediate impact on food supplies or essential goods but said impacts could widen depending on how long it lasts.
“It’s critical for USMX and the ILA to reach a fair agreement soon that respects workers and ensures a flow of commerce through our ports,” she said

“The President has directed his team to convey his message directly to both sides that they need to be at the table and negotiating in good faith –fairly and quickly,” the White House said in a statement.
The President has also directed his Supply Chain Disruptions Task Force to meet every day and prepare to address potential disruptions, the statement added.

Russia pips Canada as top yellow peas exporter to India
NEW DELHI: Russia has become the largest export of yellow peas to India pipping Canada which has been dominating the market so far, data from the Agricultural and Processed Food Products Exports Development
A u t h o r i t y ( A P E D A ) s h o w The development comes after Russia topped Canada in the Chinese market, where at one point in time Ottawa had over 97 per cent market share, data show Russia currently has nearly half the share of the Chinese market.
Moscow shipped 4 41 lakh tonnes of
peas to India during the April-July period of the 2024-25 fiscal. This is higher than the 4.01 lt it shipped during the entire 2023-24 fiscal Canada exported 3.93 lt of yellow peas to India during the April-July period of the current fiscal It had shipped 1 38 milliontonnesduringthe2023-24fiscal Logistics costs
“Russia is aggressively exporting yellow peas in the global market. It offers peas at a competitive price and allows trade in Indian rupees Logistically, too, it is cheaper,” said a New Delhi-based trade expert.
India spent $212.85 million for the 4.41 lt of peas it imported, while for Canadian peas the expenditure was $228.49 million. Currently, Russia is shipping yellow peas to India at $425 a tonne cost and freight for OctoberNovember delivery, while Canada is charging $460 for the same period to India “Over the last two years, Russia’s production and export of yellow peas has increased to record levels. Imports were less as China was not importing from Russia. But now Beijing has increased its import,” said Rahul Chauhan of Igrain.

Adani to play a key role in Global Decarbonisation : WEF
AHMEDABAD: Three Adani portfolio companies Adani Enterprises Ltd (AEL) (through its subsidiary Adani New Industries Ltd), Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd (APSEZ) and Ambuja Cements Ltd — have joined the World Economic Forum’s ‘Transitioning Industrial Clusters’ initiative, forming the Adani Mundra Cluster This initiative aims to enhance collaboration and align the vision of colocated companies to drive economic growth, generate employment and advance decarbonisation by 2050.
Since its inception in 1993, the port business at Mundra has evolved into a thriving, port-led industrial cluster Now recognised as India’s largest port, Mundra has become a dynamic hub for companies across diverse sectors, ranging from advanced solar module and wind turbine manufacturing to the challenging-to-decarbonise cement production.
APSEZ has committed to powering all its port operations with renewable electricity by 2025, with a target of achieving net-zero emissions as early as 2040. The upcoming Ambuja unit in Mundra aims to be the lowest-emission-intensity cement production facility globally, aligning with the company’s goal of achieving net-zero by 2050
Additionally, the Adani Mundra Cluster will become one of the world’s largest integrated green hydrogen hubs, with a planned capacity of 1 Million Metric Tonnes Per Annum (MMTPA) of green hydrogen production by 2030, expanding up to 3 MMTPA by 2040. This will be supported by a fully integrated value chain comprising 10 GW of solar modules, 5 GW of wind turbines and 5 GW of electrolyser manufacturing
capacity, alongside associated port infrastructure
The cluster will also have production facilities for green hydrogen derivatives such as ammonia, further solidifying its leadership in the green energy transition
“By joining the World Economic Forum’s Transitioning Industrial Clusters initiative, the signatories will have the opportunity to collaborate with global industry peers, thinktanks, policymakers and experts to pioneer innovative approaches towards decarbonization,” said Karan Adani, Managing Director of APSEZ and Director of Ambuja Cements. “The Adani Mundra Cluster aspires to become an integrated green hydrogen manufacturing hub, helping to decarbonise the hard-to-abate sectors of the Indian economy andreducethecountry’sdependencyonenergyimports.”
The World Economic Forum has played an important role in fostering collaboration among key stakeholders in the cluster and elevating the cluster's strategy to drive economic growth, employment, and decarbonisation through strategic meetings and in-country workshops.
“We are delighted to welcome the Adani Mundra Cluster to our international community of 23 industrial clusters, as one of the first two clusters in India,” said Roberto Bocca, Head of the Centre for Energy and Materials and Member of the Executive Committee at the World Economic Forum. “By tapping into Gujarat's significant renewable energy capacity, the cluster is on track to becoming one of the leading green hydrogen hubs in South Asia.
