SINGAPORE: SeaLead, a global container shipping line, has announced the launch of a new service called FIX (Far East to India Express), which will connect ports in China to the East Coast of India. The service will be undertaken in partnership with Sinotrans, SITC, and TS Lines. The first voyage will be on the 23rd August, 2023. Rotation will be Qingdao / Shanghai / Ningbo / Shekou / Chennai / Visakhapatnam / Port Kelang / Shekou / Qingdao. The FIX will offer one of the fastest transit times available from China to Chennai and Visakhapatnam.

In addition to direct ports, the service will also allow for other SeaLead direct and feeder services to be connected allowing connections to Australia, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, and Indonesia. Customers in India will also have options to the Mediterranean and ports in Egypt and Turkey with SeaLead services via Port Klang, allowing for speedy and reliable services between these areas.

Commenting on the launch, Shiva Mahadevan, Managing Director for South Asia and the Middle East, said, “We are proud to offer the FIX service to our customers based in India as it will provide them with a seamless and efficient way to transport their goods between China and the East Coast of India and vice versa, as well as allow customers in other countries to access the opportunities that India has to offer.”

The new FIX service will provide efficient and reliable connections between China and India, two of the world’s largest economies, with bi-lateral trade expected to grow 10% in 2023. Helping contribute to this growth are several factors, including the continued economic growth and rise of the middle class of both countries, the implementation of new trade agreements between China and India, and the reduction of barriers to trade.

Coastal Shipping traffic constantly increased in India in last three years: Sarbananda Sonowal

NEW DELHI: Under Sagarmala Programme, various initiatives and projects have been undertaken to facilitate the shifting of cargo from c o n v e n t i o n a l l a n d - b a s e d transportation to Coastal Shipping mode, said the Union Minister for Ports, Shipping, and Waterways Sarbananda Sonowal.

As a result, there is a constant increase in coastal shipping traffic in the last three years.

Coastal Cargo

2020-21 – 114 (MMTPA)

2021-22 – 133 (MMTPA)

2022-23 – 151 (MMTPA)

To enhance freight movement through coastal shipping, the Government of India (GOI) has taken

measures like the Coastal Berth Scheme, license relaxation under section 407 of the Merchant Shipping Act, discounts offered by major ports, priority berthing policy for coastal vessels, reduction of GST on bunker fuels, green channel clearance, reimbursement of freight subsidy on primary movement of subsidized urea and P&K fertilizers, etc.

Sagarmala Programme

An initiative by the Government of India, the programme aims to enhance the performance of the logistics sector of the country. It envisages opening the potential of the coastline and waterways to

investments

The vision of the programme is to bring down logistics costs for both domestic and Export Import cargo with optimized infrastr ucture investment.

Sagarmala aims to lower logistics costs for Export Import and domestic cargo leading to overall cost savings of Rs 35,000 to Rs 40,000 crore/year. In addition, Sagarmala aspires to lower carbon emissions from the t r a n s p o r t a t i o n s e c t o r b y 12.5 MT/annum.

In India, it is the flagship programme of the Ministry of Ports, S h i p p i n g a n d Wa t e r w a y s t o encourage port-led development by using the country’s 7,517 km long coastline.

Further contraction expected in Global Freight Forwarding : Transport Intelligence

LONDON: After falling 3.7% in real terms (holding prices and exchange rates constant) last year, the global forwarding market is expected to contract a further 3.9% by the end of the year, reducing its market value to just over €334.3bn ($424.6bn).

Research analyst Transport Intelligence (Ti) notes, in its recent report, Global Freight Forwarding Market Size & Forecasting 2022-2027, that the “cautious optimism in early 2023 that the world economy could achieve a soft landing has receded amid continued high inflation”

It adds: “According to the IMF, risks to the outlook are heavily skewed to the downside, with the chances of a hard landing having risen sharply.”

Air, specifically, is forecast to decline by 4.7% in real terms this year, after falling 7.3% in 2022, with a market value of almost €125 6bn Several factors continue to impact

performance, says the report, i n c l u d i n g w a r i n U k r a i n e , high inflation and fuel prices In addition, air freight’s competitive advantage over sea has ended as prices there have rapidly declined and congestion has eased.

According to IATA figures this year, measures by governments to combat inflation by cooling economies are expected to result in a further decline in cargo volumes this year of 5 6% on 2019and4%belowlastyear

The sea freight forwarding market is forecast to contract by 3.5% (-1.5% last year) to a market value of almost €208.8bn.

Ti said: “The market will continue to be affected by depressed consumer behaviour The very strong supply of vessels combined with mediocre, or even falling, demand, as well as resolved port congestion, point to a downward trajectory for freight rates.”

It added that a major factor weighing on demand for both air and sea freight forwarding services was that the inventory to sales ratio was currently at historically high levels.

“In periods of low inventory, air freight benefits disproportionately as shippers seek to rapidly move stock into the right locations and replenish stores to match supply with demand,” the report says.

Looking further ahead, Ti notes that taking into account that the global economy is forecast to experience a prolonged period of subpar growth, the global freight forwarding market is expected to reach a market value of just over €377.2bn in 2027, based on a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of 1 6% The air and sea freight forwarding markets are projected to expand at a CAGR of 1.7% and 1.6% respectively.

• 206 trains were handled in July, making it the highest this year

• Seng records by loading 166 Double Stack Trains; the highest ever in a month

Cont’d. from Pg. 3

The port handled the highest number of trains this year, reaching an impressive count of 206. One of the significant accomplishments was loading 166 Double Stack (DS) trains, surpassing the port's own previous record of loading 157 double stack trains in 2020.

It is noteworthy that 80% of the trains moved out from the port were Double stack during the month.

This remarkable feat not only showcase its excellence in optimizing cargo movement but also underscore the port's unwavering commitment to environmental sustainability By handling an impressive number of trains and throughput, the port has effectively reduced nearly 50,000 containers on the road, leading to decongestion of traffic and a substantial reduction in carbon footprints.

"We take immense pride in achieving these remarkable milestones in our rail operations," stated Mr. Girish Aggarwal, Managing Director, APM Terminals Pipavav "As congestion challenges continue to impact the industry, our relentless focus on providing seamless and efficient rail connectivity through state-of-the-art infrastructure becomes even more crucial The collaborative efforts of our team,

A.P. Moller - Maersk : Robust Q2 financial results in difficult market conditions

COPENHAGEN: Maersk (Maersk) reports a second quarter of 2023 ahead of expectations, while the ongoing market normalisation continued through the quarter leading to lower volumes and lower rates.

Revenue stood at USD 13.0bn compared to USD 21.7bn in Q2 2022 while profitability was strong at 12.4% although significantly lower compared to the extraordinarily strong Q2 2022. Reflecting the strong first half performance, Maersk raises its financial outlook and now expects underlying EBITDA of USD 9 5 - 11 0bn (previously USD 8.0 – 11.0bn), underlying EBIT of USD 3.5 - 5.0bn (previously USD 2.0 - 5.0bn) despite a weakened second half market outlook.

“The Q2 result contributed to a strong first half of the year, where we responded to sharp changes in market conditions prompted by destocking and subdued growth environment following the pandemic fuelled years Our decisive actions on cost containment together with our contract portfolio cushioned some of the effects of this market normalisation. Cost focus will continue to play a central role in dealing with a subdued market outlook that we expect to continue until end year. While we step this agenda further up, we are unwavering in our transformation and continue to invest in and deliver truly integrated logistics solutions to our customers and amplify their supply chain resilience for the uncertain times ahead,” says Vincent Clerc, CEO of Maersk.

Ocean revenue decreased to USD 8.7bn from USD 17.4bn driven by a decrease in freight rates and loaded volumes. While the volume and rate environment stabilized at a lower level during Q2, Ocean continued to be impacted by lower demand, driven by a significant inventory correction in particular in North America and Europe. A strong cost management allowed to partially offset the top line impact on financial performance in Ocean.

Revenue in Logistics & Services was USD 3 4bn compared to USD 3 5bn

The segment was also impacted by lower volumes due to the continued destocking and weaker consumer demand, as well as low rates. As in Ocean, market demand is expected to continue to be subdued as long as the inventory correction is ongoing.

Revenue in Terminals decreased to USD 950m from USD 1.1bn and was influenced by the normalisation of storage revenue and lower volumes amid lower consumer demand and less congestion in North America. Strong cost control contributed to a continued solid financial performance.

Financial guidance for 2023

The inventory correction observed since Q4 2022 appears to be prolonged and is now expected to last through year end. Based on the continued destocking, A.P Moller –Maersk now sees global container volume growth in the range of -4% to -1% compared to -2.5% to +0.5% previously Ocean expects to grow in-line with the market.

For the full-year 2023, A.P Moller – Maersk raises its financial guidance as seen in the table below

A.P . Moller – Maersk now expects CAPEX to be at the lower end of the previously communicated ranges of USD 9.0 - 10bn for 2022-2023 and USD 10.0 - 11.0bn for 2023-2024.
