“We delivered a solid financial performance in a challenging market with lower demand caused by a continued destocking. Visibility remains low for the remainder of the year and moving through this market normalisation, we remain focused on proactively managing costs. As we adjust to a radically changed business environment, we continue to support our customers in addressing their supply chain challenges. We are pleased to note that customers continue to value the integrated logistics solutions and close partnership weprovide,”says VincentClerc,CEOofMaersk.

OceanrevenuedecreasedbyUSD5.7bntoUSD9.9bn. Profitability for the quarter was significantly lower comparedtoQ12022,primarilyduetolowerfreightrates and volumes, as demand softened. However, proactive cost containment measures have been successful, andtheOceancontractnegotiationseasonisproceeding inlinewithexpectations.

In Logistics & Services, revenue grew 21% to USD 3.5bn driven by the consolidation of acquisitions. Organically, Q1 was affected by lower volumes caused by inventory corrections, especially with North American and European retailers, which was partially offset by new commercial wins. Additionally, underlying business performance was impacted by lower rates in Air Freight andweakerdemandineCommerce.

In Terminals, the top line was affected by lower

volumes and storage income, both a factor of lower demand and the release of port congestion. Revenue in Terminals decreased to USD 876m from USD 1.1bn, but strong cost control contributed to continued solid financialperformanceinTerminals.

Q1 was marked by continued destocking in Europe and especially North America. While it is difficult to predict the exact timing, Maersk expects volumes to graduallypickupinthesecondhalfoftheyear.

Machilipatnam Port construction works commence this month

HYDERABAD: The Bandar port, with over 2,000 years historical significance in terms of imports and exports, is going to get revived very soon. With the decision of the State government to commence port construction works, the Machilipatnam area is going to get back its glory as well as the people’s

long-cherished dream also will be fulfilled.

According to higher authorities, Machilipatnam Port construction works would commence in this month. Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy will formally lay foundation stone to start port works onMay22inMachilipatnam.

It may be noted that all kinds of obstacles including finances that impeded the port construction for yearswerecleared.Theportobtained Environmental Clearance from the Ministry of Environment and Forests andgotaloanofRs3,940croreforport construction from Power Finance CorporationLimited.

Airport, Seaport, Railway companies can now bid for road building

NEW DELHI: Airport, seaport, railway and metro rail builders can now join in the task of building highways under a new Government order aimed at giving a thrust to limping road construction. In a key reform, the governmenthasputcoreinfrastructure development firms on its list of companies that are eligible to build capital-intensivehighways.

So far, only specialist and

experienced road builders have been allowed to participate in such bids. The government hopes opening up the sector will bring in more competition, lowercostsandspeedupconstruction. Companies with experience in building airports—which include air strips—ports, railways and metro rail projects will be able to bid for constructing highways and expressways.

The move comes as the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) and other road building agencies have lagged their highway-building targets for two years in a row. NHAI is also sitting on a debt of around Rs. 3 trillion. Analysts said as more road projects come up for bids, expanding the field also addresses the problem of contractors being unwilling to take up toomanyprojectsatonetime.

India’s Exports likely to touch $900 billion in FY24

NEW DELHI: India’s exports of goods and services could touch $900 billioninthecurrentfinancialyear,up from $770 billion in the previous year, keeping resilient despite global headwinds, a top official of a grouping ofexporterssaid.

Merchandise exports could expand to between $495 billion and $500 billion, while services exports could touch $400 billion in the year ending March 2024, said Ajay Sahai, Director General of the Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO). Overseas demand remains strong in manymarkets,headded.

Trade Minister Shri Piyush Goyal urged exporters to explore new markets, however, in view of the possible impact of war in Ukraine and aglobalslowdown.

“The times ahead are going to be

very, very tough,” Goyal said speaking at a industry event late on Wednesday, while warning of the falloutfromtheconflict.

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s government has set an export target of $2 trillion by 2030, offering benefits to boost exports of electronics, engineering, pharmaceutical,andothergoods.

India’s exports have increased by more than $200 billion in the last two years, led by a surge in exports of software, mobile exports, and agriculturalandpetroleumproducts.

Exportsofengineering,gems,and jewellery goods have slowed in the lastfewmonths,however.

Exports of agricultural, petroleum, and electronic goods remained strong in the Western markets due to pricing factors while exports to Asian and

Middle east countries have grown substantially,exporterssaid.

Sahai, who was part of a 50-member business delegation to Russiarecently,saidtherewasahuge demandforIndiangoods,particularly food, after the Western sanctions imposedovertheUkrainewar.

“Indian exporters are hopeful that both countries would soon work out a mechanism allowing payments in local currencies that would facilitate the shipments of Indian goods to Russia,”Sahaisaid.

But Indian officials have said Russia was reluctant to accept payments in the rupee currency for itsoilexports.

India has not explicitly condemned Russia’s February 2022 invasion of Ukraine and has called for dialoguetoresolvehostilities.

Customs system glitch chokes shipments at ports Pan India, traders pay heavy demurrage charges

NEW DELHI: Several shipments havebeenstuckatIndianportsdueto glitches in the customs IT system, leading to importers paying heavy demurrage charges. According to trade reports, shipments worth Rs3,000-5,000crorearestuckpanIndia.

Importers have alleged that the dutypaymentoptionontheICEGATE system is still not functioning properly. Since April 1, heavy demurrage charges have been paid by trade/importers, to the tune of aroundRs500-700crore.

The Customs Department had launched a new updated IT system on April 1 for payment of duty by importers, including an electronic cash ledger payment system aimed at ensuring ease of doing business.

However, importers claim that they are still facing issues in making payments through the ICEGATE system. In response to the situation, customs authorities have started manual clearance of goods to facilitatetrade.

Major Ports see cargo traffic rise

NEW DELHI: India’s Major Ports saw a bare 1.30 per cent-odd rise in cargo traffic in April to 65.87 million tonnes (mt), driven primarily by an increase in coal – both coking and thermal (imports) and finished fertiliser shipments. However, traffic across three of the busiest ports –Paradip (Odisha), Deendayal (Gujarat), and JNPT (Maharashtra) –slowed down on account of lower iron ore shipments (a key export item from India), indicating building recessionarypressures.

Cargo traffic in April 2022 was 65 mt, as per data available from the IndianPortsAssociation.

Paradip, Deendayal, and JNPA handled 45 per cent of the Country’s cargo traffic, slightly lower than the 47 per cent share they had in the comparativemonthlastyear.

Finished fertiliser shipments saw the highest increase in April, rising over 33 per cent, to 0.6 mt; as against 0.46mtintheyear-ago-period.

Thermal coal shipments, primarily imports increased by 27 per cent YoY to 12 mt-odd, versus 9.4 mt in April 2022. Coking coal – a key steel-making raw material – saw an 11-12 per cent riseto4.6mt.Cokingcoalshipmentsin Aprillastyearwas4.1mt.

Other liquid shipments saw a 6.68percentincreaseYoYto2.4mt.

Incidentally, other categories like petroleum, oil, and lubricants (POL), which includes crude, LPG/LNG and others, saw a drop of 2 per cent YoY to 19.6 mt, down from the 20 mt-odd shipmentsinApril2022.

Iron ore shipments, primarily exported to China, dropped 13 per cent-odd, the highest fall among major commodities tracked, to 4.7 mt. Shipments in the year-ago-period was 5.4mt.

Raw fertiliser shipments dropped over 9 per cent to 0.71 mt in April (from 0.8 mt in the year-ago period), while miscellaneous items shipped droppedover23percentto6.6mt.

Customs officials are holding panIndia interactions with trade to address concerns and issues related totheITsystemglitches.

The Government has been focusing on easing regulatory processes and improving trade facilitation to boost the country’s economy.

However, the current situation withthecustomsITsystemislikelyto have a negative impact on trade, as importers continue to face difficulties inclearingtheirshipments.

by 1.30% in April

Container traffic saw a 4 per cent increase with 981 TEUs (twenty equivalent units) moving, against 943 TEUsinthesamemonth,a-year-ago.

Port-wise traffic

Paradip – among the busiest ports in India – witnessed the highest traffic to the tune of 11.7 mt, but this was still 4 per cent-odd lower than April last year. The drop was primarily due to lower shipments of POL – of 6 per cent to 3.1 mt – and iron ore – down 25percentto1.8mt.

Vizag saw a 2.35 per cent drop in traffic to 6.2 mt mostly because of 16percentdropinPOLshipments.

Mormugao saw a 16.30 per cent decline in traffic with shipments across all categories, except thermal coal, declining; while in the case of Deendayal port, where traffic dropped 11 per cent in April, shipments were down in most categories except coal andfinishedfertilisers.

The Kolkata dock system saw a 5percentdropintraffic.

The investments in rail infrastructure at our ports have been one of the catalysts for our improved

operational performance. Continuing that journey, Dahej Port completed the extension of overhead electric lines, thereby enabling it to handle rakes with electric locomotives of IndianRailways.

With the commissioning of the Western Dedicated Freight Corridor (WDFC) line till Dadri in April 23, the double-stack rake services from ICD Dadri to Mundra Port will now become operational. Supported by our ICD at Patli, this connection will further boost volumes at Mundra Port, and the total rail volumes for Adani Logistics.

I call upon everyone to join this wonderful initiative and make it a grandsuccess.

JOGIGHOPA: Union Minister of Ports, Shipping & Waterways and Ayush, Shri Sarbananda Sonowal visited the construction site of India’s first International Multi Modal Logistics park in Jogighopa, Assam to review theprogresstoday.ShriSonowalsaidthejettyattheparkis likely to be completed within this year. Union Minister expressed satisfaction at the pace of work as the road and railway connectivity is also aimed at completion by end of thisyear.

Speaking on the occasion, the Shri Sonowal said, “ For the swift development of the Northeast India, our dynamic Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji has been takingmanyrevolutionarystepstorevitaliseoureconomy.

Prime Minister Modi ji’s vision of transformation via transportation has enabled the entire region of Northeast to revamp their transportation network.

The park is being developed under the ambitious Bharatmala Pariyojana of the Government . First such MMLP, it is being made by NHIDCL in Jogighopa of Assam. The park will be connected to road, rail, air and waterways. This is being developed in 317-acre land alongtheBrahmaputra.

Sarbananda Sonowal to receive the 1st Indian Cargo Ship docking at Sittwe Port Tomorrow

NEW DELHI: Union Minister of Ports, Shipping & Waterways and Ayush, Shri Sarbananda Sonowal will be receiving the first Indian cargo ship at Sittwe Port in Myanmar on May 9, 2023. The ceremony is likely to inaugurate regular transit of cargo ships between Syama Prasad Mookerjee Port in Kolkata, India to Sittwe Port in Rakhine state of Myanmar, heralding a new age of transportation between the two countries. The route is likely to unlock tremendous economic potential for the entire Bay of Bengal peninsula, allowing a bridge between South Asia and South East Asia regions, informed Shri Sonowal, while addressing media personsinDibrugarh,Assam.

Speaking on the occasion Shri Sonowal said, “Under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Shri NarendraModi,theNortheastIndiaremainsattheforefront ofIndia’sdevelopmentalagenda.Aswestandonthishistoric threshold, when the landlocked Northeast India will finally have a much shorter access to the International Sea Route, it would not have been possible without the visionary propositionof‘ActEast’byNarendraModiji.DuetoModiji’s commitmenttotheprogressandprosperityoftheNortheast region, we have been able to spearhead with speedy execution of the Sittwe port in Myanmar, with an aim to boosting the trade prospect of Northeast India in the ensuingyears.ApartfromtheNortheastIndia,thisportwill also unlock huge commercial potential for Bangladesh, Bhutan and even Nepal - apart from India and Myanmarby acting as a bridge with the South East Asia. This is the true reflection of implementation of ‘Sabka Saath, SabkaVikas’philosophyofModiji.”

Sittwe port development is part of the Kaladan Multimodal Transit Transport Project (KMTTP). Once operationalised, the Sittwe port will enable multi modal transit connectivitywiththeSouthEastAsia. SittwePorthasbeendevelopedunder a framework agreement between India and Myanmar for the construction and operation of a MultimodalTransitTransportFacility on Kaladan river connecting the SittweportinMyanmarwiththestateofMizoraminIndia. Shri Sonowal said, “Once fully operationalised, Kaladaan Multi Modal Transport TP will provide alternate connectivity from Eastern coast of India to the North-eastern states through the Sittwe port. This is a far more feasible route for the trade and commerce of Northeast India, than the existing route via Siliguri to Kolkata, saving time, money and excelling efficiency. Cost of transportation of goods from Kolkata to Aizwal was see drop of more than 50% in cost and time when the cargo is sent from Kolkata to Sittwe onto Palletwa and after that via road to Aizwal and the whole of Northeast India. Similarly, goods from Kolkata to Agartala will incur much lesser cost and time via this route. While the length of road from Kolkata to Agartala is around 1600 kms and takes 4 days via roadways, the Sittwe to Chittagong to Sarboom to Agartala will be done in 2 days, saving cost and time. In addition to reduction of traffic on the road, the use of marine transport will considerably bring down environmental cost of transport with drop in fossil fuel carbon emission. This is a wonderful thing which will not only help us economically but also environmentally.”

NEW DELHI: The Hon’bleUnionMinisterof Commerce & Industry, ConsumerAffairs,Food& Public Distribution and Textiles, Mr Piyush Goyal, gave away the 17th Set of Niryat Shree and Niryat Bandhu Awards to the outstanding exporters and service providers based on their excellent export performance and incremental growth in exports. Presenting the awards to the award winners, Mr Piyush Goyal said that despite all global challenges, we were still able to achieve overall exports of over US$ 773 billion with services exports touching US$ 325 billion. Praising the exporting community,theCIMsaidthattheyhave shownexemplaryperformanceandhas not only created a niche for Indian brands as Brand Ambassadors, but has setabenchmarkforthemtogrowinthe global markets. Mr Piyush Goyal also said that the Ministry is working handin-hand with the trade and industry to achieveUS$2trillionexportsby2030.

The Minister reiterated that India should engage with quality produced goodsandservicesandalsoshowtothe world the path of growth and rising India. We should focus more on export procedures, internationalisation of currency, world class infrastructure and last mile connectivity, said the Minister.Expansionof5Ginthecountry is the first in the world. We must collectively put our efforts with a sense of duty and responsibility to help in making India a developed economy by 2047. He also added that times ahead are going to be very challenging and tough with Russia-Ukraine crisis further getting intensified. This is the time, we should look at trading in new markets and exploring newer ones, as these are going to be the drivers of growth. The world recognises India for its reliable and quality products.

We should all work for future, India's defining moments for inclusive, equitable, sustainable and shared growth for all as envisioned by the Hon'ble Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, said the Commerce and Industry Minister.

Mr Santosh Kr Sarangi, DGFT, GoI, while addressing the function said that despite global challenges, we still have been able to achieve the highestever exports of over US$ 770 billion. The DGFT added that the Hon'ble Commerce and Industry Minister has always pushed for achieving newer heights. Mr Sarangi further reiterated that with this type of export growth, we are definitely on track to achieve US$2trillionexportsby2030.

FIEO President, Dr A Sakthivel in hiswelcomeaddress,congratulatedthe awardees for their remarkable efforts shown during the turbulent period in global trade. He said that they have made the country proud through sheer dint of their hard work amid meticulous planning. Dr Sakthivel expressed his gratitude to the Hon’ble Minister and said that the exports sectors saw a remarkable growth of over 55% in 2 years, taking aggregate exports to US$770billionin2022-23addingUS$218 billion in the last two financial years, equivalent to Rs 17 lakh 44 thousand crores.FIEOChiefpraisedtheconstant

review and monitoring done by the CIM himself, supported by the Commerce Secretary, DGFT and other officers of the Ministry of Commerce & DGFT. Dr Sakthivel added that he is confident of achieving the milestone of US$ 2 trillion exports much before 2030. He also urged that the focus should be on supporting overseas marketing initiativesbesidessettingupofstate-ofthe-art exposition centers in important businesscentersabroad.

Dr Ajay Sahai, Director General & CEO, FIEO, while proposing the vote of thanks during the function said that India is not an export driven economy. The share of exports in the country's GDP is around 22%, yet exports are playing a transformational role in the economy. Exports were major contributors to India’s additional GDP in the previous two financial years. In 2021-22, out of overall incremental GDP in the financial year, over 50% was contributed by exports alone. In 202223, despite global headwinds, exports accounted for over 40% of the incremental GDP. The Hon’ble Prime Minister has rightly said that exports are key to the transition of the country from a developing to a developed economy, which we are endeavouring to achieve before the 100th year of our gloriousindependence.

Govt gets 9 EoIs for Intl Transhipment Port in Andaman & Nicobar

NEW DELHI: The MoPSW has received expressions of interest (EOIs) fromnineplayersfortheRs41,000crore internationaltranshipmentportproject at Great Nicobar Island in the Bay of Bengal, a Senior Government official saidrecently.

Earlier this year, the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways in a statement said the project is expected to be completed with an investment of Rs 41,000 crore (USD 5 billion), including investment from both government and public-private

partnership (PPP) concessionaires. The proposed port in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands will have the ultimate capacity to handle 16 million containers per year, and in the first phase, to be commissioned by 2028 at a cost of Rs 18,000 crore, it will handle more than 4 million containers. Other projects planned around the transhipment port include an airport, township and power plant.

The project is located on the international trade route, with existing transhipment terminals like Singapore,

KlangandColomboinproximity.

The project focuses on three key drivers, which can result in making it a leading container transhipment port — strategic location in terms of proximity (40 nautical miles) with the international shipping trade route, availability of natural water depth of over 20m and carrying capacity of transhipmentcargofromalltheportsin theproximity,includingIndianports,as perthestatement.

India, Russia suspend negotiations to settle trade in Rupees : Sources

NEWDELHI:IndiaandRussiahave suspended efforts to settle bilateral trade in rupees, after months of negotiations failed to convince Moscow to keep rupees in its coffers, two Indian Government officials and a source with directknowledgeofthemattersaid.

This would be a major setback for Indian importers of cheap oil and coal from Russia who were awaiting a permanent rupee payment mechanism tohelplowercurrencyconversioncosts. With a high trade gap in favour of Russia, Moscow believes it will end up with an annual rupee surplus of over

$40 billion if such a mechanism is worked out and feels rupee accumulation is ‘not desirable’, an IndianGovernmentOfficial,whodidnot wanttobenamed,toldReuters.

The rupee is not fully convertible. India’s share of global exports of goods also is just about 2% and these factors reducethenecessityforothercountries toholdrupees.

India started exploring a rupee settlement mechanism with Russia soon the invasion of Ukraine in February last year, but there has been no reported deal done in rupees.
