Adani’s Mundra Port nearing full capacity in Container handling; capacity addition underway

AHMEDABAD : Mundra Port, India’s biggest commercial and container port located in Gujarat, handled 6.64 million twentyfoot equivalent units or TEUs in FY23 and is banking on a new under construction facility to meet the demand for shipping cargo in steel containers into and out of India’s northwesternregion.

Mundra, the flagship port of Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd (APSEZ), India’s biggest private port operator, runs four container terminals with a combined capacity of 7.5 million TEUs.

In FY22, Mundra handled 6.52 million TEUs. Globally, a capacity utilisation of 70 percent is considered the ideal level for ports/terminals to operate efficiently without facing congestion and productivity issues. “At 70 percent capacity utilisation, the terminal works at full efficiency. Above that, the efficiency drops, and delays start occurring,” said a port industry source.

Last year, APSEZ started work on a container terminal which will add as much as 1.2 million TEUs at Mundra port. The firm, though, is yet to disclose a timeline for the new terminal to begin operations.

APSEZ is expected to run the terminalonitsown,sourcessaid.

Containers are the fastest growing cargo segment at Mundra port. Of the 155.54 million tonnes (mt) of cargo handled by Mundra port in FY23, containers accounted for 6.64 million TEUs or some 100 mt, while dry cargo andliquidcargoaccountedfortherest.

APSEZ is adding capacity at Mundra port when it has some 8 years left of the 30-year concession given by the Gujarat government to develop and run the port. The firm is banking on securing extension of the concession from the State Government while investing in a new container terminal at theport.

DCSA & FMC Commissioner collaborate on Maritime Data Standards

AMSTERDAM: Commissioner Carl Bentzel of the Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) and the Digital Container Shipping Association (DCSA) met to discuss the way forward for setting maritime data standards in the United States and beyond. The meeting was part of Commissioner Bentzel’s Maritime Transportation Data Initiative (MTDI) of which the final recommendations will be published soon.

“During theCOVIDpandemicthe inefficiencies in global maritime supply chains became painfully clear. Theseinefficienciescostedtrillionsof dollars which contributed to the high inflation US consumers are experiencing today”, Commissioner Bentzel said. “The issues are caused to a large extent by a lack of meaningfulandreal-timeexchangeof the data necessary to ensure an efficientandeconomictransportation

system. And, because providing an efficientandeconomictransportation systeminoceancommerceisthecore responsibility of the FMC, we started theMTDI.”

André Simha, Chairman of the DCSA Supervisory Board and Global Chief Digital & Innovation Officer of MSC, confirmed the need for better data; “The traditional methods container shipping has been using to exchange data have revealed their limitations in recent years. That is why, despite being competitors, the containers shipping lines came together in 2019 and founded DCSA. The association has made a lot of progress advancing digitalization through common open-source standards, but we can’t do it alone as ocean carriers. The maritime supply chain is made of separate links which all need to be equally strong.

We welcome the FMC’s MTDI initiative which brings together all

stakeholders to identify and address the shortcomings of standardized data exchange in maritime transportation.”

The DCSA Supervisory Board, which consists of the global CIO’s of the largest container shipping lines and representation of the cargo owner’s community, appreciated this approach. Thomas Bagge, CEO of DCSA, said: “collaboration between the public and private sectors, as displayed in the MTDI, is essential to solve the challenges still inherent in supplychains.Suchcollaborationwill provide better resilience, visibility and efficiency to the benefit of all ecosystemparticipants..TheMTDIis an extension of the work we began, and we are proud and excited to see our efforts accelerated in this way. Therefore, we highly appreciate the leadingroleCommissionerBentzelis taking. Not just in the US but globally”.

MIFFAI extended an invitation to FFFAI for a visit to Myanmar. The MIFFA delegates also had good interactions withtheFFFAIWomen’sWing. LeadbyMs.ChaitalyMehta

(Convenor) and Mrs. Philomena V. Pereira (Mentor) the FFFAI Women’s Wing would be shortly planning to take an Indian delegation to Myanmar to explore future opportunitiesandbusinessnetworking.

It is pertinent to mention that Myanmar has been one of the largest exporters of pulses and beans to India, while India exports mostly pharma products to Myanmar. Myanmar is strategically located for India as the country shares a land borderofover1643kmswithMyanmaraswellasamaritime boundary in the Bay of Bengal. Four northeastern states Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Manipur and Mizoram have aboundarywithMyanmar.

Currently, the Government of India’s focus is for enhancing India’s cooperation with Myanmar in line with its ‘Act East’ and ‘Neighborhood First’ Policies. It is also pertinent to mention that India shares religious, linguistic and ethnic ties with Myanmar which is the only ASEAN country adjoining India and, therefore, is a gateway to South East Asia.

To resolve the logistics infrastructure and connectivity issues currently India is building USD 484 million Kaladan Multimodal Transit Transport Project, which will connect India's Kolkata Port with Myanmar's Sittwe Port. In addition, multimodal corridors are also being created to promote regional connectivity and development. These projects would further strengthen the bilateral trade between India and Myanmar. Logistics service providers on the other hand are focusing on setting up infrastructure in this region in view of the fact there are huge requirements of proper warehousing, cold storage and other logistics facilities.
