Siemens to deliver 1,200 Freight Trains in India

NEW DELHI: The Siemens-designed, 1,200horsepowertrains,withatopspeedof120km(75miles)/hr, will be assembled in the Indian Railways Factory in Gujarat state over the next 11 years, with deliveries startingin24months.

Siemens has signed a 3 billion euro ($3.25 billion) contract to supply and service freight trains in India, the German engineering company said today, the biggest locomotivedealinitshistory.

Siemens will deliver 1,200 electric locomotives and provide servicing for 35 years under the agreement, also itsbiggesteverinIndia.

TheSiemens-designed, 1,200-horsepower trains,witha top speed of 120 km (75 miles)/hr, will be assembled in the

Indian Railways Factory in Gujarat state over the next 11 years,withdeliveriesstartingin24months.

“These new locomotives … can replace between 500,000 to800,000 trucksovertheirlifecycle,” saidSiemens MobilityCEOMichaelPeter.

The order was a big step for Siemens in India, Michael Peter told Reuters, saying the company had previously been very strong in North America and central Europe in rolling stock but mainly provided components and infrastructureinIndia.

“India is looking for technology, better efficiency, and longer lifespan for its trains,” he said in an interview. “In the past India built their own trains, but they want to increasereliabilityandaveragespeeds.”

Sea-Intelligence reports volume shrinking in North America West Coast

COPENHAGEN: Sea-Intelligence noted in its latest report that when annualised against 2019, volume growth on the North America West Coast (NAWC) stagnated during the first two months of the traditional peak season of the third quarter, while outright contracting in September2022.

“This trend continued into October and November,” pointedout Alan Murphy, CEO of Sea-Intelligence.

The figure shows the laden import volumes on both a year-on-year basis, as well as an annualised basis comparedto2019.

Sea-Intelligence’s analysts noted that “If we look across the latter metric [annualised basis compared to 2019], the growth rate has been on a downwards trend, from a peak of 14.2% in March 2022 to 4.4% in June, and then briefly dropping below 0% in July to -0.7%, before droppingagaininSeptemberto-3.3%.”

According to the report, in October and November, the growth rate continued to decline, dropping to -4.1% in November.

Sea-Intelligence notedthatliketotalhandlingvolumes, laden inbound volumes are now also firmly negative. “OnaY/Ybasis,ladenimportshavebeennegativeformost of the period since mid-2021, and have dropped below -20% inOctoberandNovemberof2022,”saidMurphy.

Furthermore, the decreasing trend in laden imports hints at a continued demand decrease into 2023, with additional contractions in demand across Chinese New Year highly likely. “With capacity levels already high, and additional capacity being released due to the reduction in bottlenecks, this drop in demand puts

pressure on the shipping lines to blank additional capacity during Chinese New Year to stop a potential acceleration infreightratedecline,”commentedMurphy.

CEO of Sea-Intelligence concluded that “a slight positive, however, is the increase in the laden-export-toempty-export ratio (improvement towards laden exports). While the ratio is still below 1 – favouring empty exports –it increased from 0.5 to 0.7 in November. The improvement isnotbecauseofasuddenburstofladenexports,whichare still contracting within -8% and -11%, but a slowdown in empty exports, the growth of which has now nearly stagnated.”

Survey: FIT Alliance reveals strong interest in eBL, pinpoints obstacles to address

The FIT Alliance was formed in February 2022 with five founding members: BIMCO, DCSA, FIATA, ICC and SWIFT.

“The world experienced another challenging year in 2022 andalthoughmostcountrieswere emerging fromthe global pandemic, many continued to suffer from the negative aftershocks which were compounded by the war in Ukraine, higher energy prices, global inflation and supply chain disruptions,” stated Tan Chong Meng, GroupCEOofPSA.

AMSTERDAM: The key objective of the Alliance is to raise awareness and encourage greater use of shipping standards and electronic bills of lading (eBLs) across all sectors of the shipping industry. In June, the Alliance issued a survey to members of its respective organisations to gauge awareness and adoption of eBLs, aswellasfactorsthathinderadoption.

Survey: FIT Alliance reveals strong interest in eBL, pinpoints obstacles to address

The FIT Alliance was formed in February 2022 with five founding members: BIMCO, DCSA, FIATA, ICC and SWIFT.

Cont’d. from Pg. 3

The survey results show some promise for growth in eBL use but clearly identify obstacles that the industry must address foreBLstogainmainstream acceptance. Thisvaluable input will assist the Alliance in ensuring the needs of its membership are met as it collaborates to standardise the digitisation ofinternationaltrade.

Howwidespread iselectronic billofladinguse?

Awareness of eBLs is high – three out of four respondents have heard at least some (up to a great deal) about them, and 94% have heard at least a little. A closer look at the numbers reveals that 28% of respondents already use eBLs in conjunction with paper. The task now becomes to accelerate adoption by this group, so they can join the 5% who have already made the full transition to eBL. Fortunately, a majority (58%) of those using only paper B/Ls report their organisations have plans to use eBLs in the future, but only just over a fifth (22%) saythiswillbewithinthenextsixto24months.

The advantages of digitisation are also well known. When asked what could be achieved through eBLs and wider trade digitisation, an overwhelming 86% of survey respondents identified increased speed, while 78% cited process efficiencies, 73% improved customer experience, and the same percentage, cost savings. Nearly nine in ten respondents (86%) said they believeeBLscan/willunlockwidertradedigitisation.

Whathinderselectronic billofladingadoption?

To close the gap between what respondents think eBLs can deliver and their actual usage of them, the industry must address the key factors that hinder adoption, which were also identified inthesurvey.

1. Concerns about technology, platform and lack of interoperability

The top reasons for not using eBLs, or not using them more, can be grouped as technology, platform or interoperability concerns. These concerns were cited by almost three-quarters (73%) of respondents. Whilst the concerns pointed to different factors such as the need for more education about the security and technology aspects, platform choices or costs, they illustrated that organisations are hesitant to move forward becausetheydonotwantto“choosewrong”oneBLsolutions.

Although there are currently seven well-established eBL platforms in the industry, each one is a “walled garden”, with its own proprietary technology and bylaws that govern the relationships between the stakeholders involved in a transaction.

What this means in practice is that parties that want to exchange aneBL must allsubscribe tothesame platform.Ifthe shipper uses platform A, the consignee platform B, the trade finance bank platformCand the carrier platformD,they cannot use an eBL, as it cannot be transferred between different platforms.

Signing up to use multiple platforms requires significant time and resources: getting the legal department to read through and approve the platform’s rulebook, and training personnel tousethenewplatform.

There is little doubt that interoperability between platforms would make the adoption of eBLs more appealing to a new generation of users. Technical interoperability is therefore key to both eliminating the need to sign up with multiple platforms andreducingthefearofvendorlock-in.

Technical standards areneededtocreateastructureforthe transfer of standards-based eBLs between platforms, and DCSA, along with carriers, solution providers and ExxonMobil, are working on an eBL interoperability proof of concept (POC) toputthesestandardsintopracticeinreal-life scenarios.

Prior to the interoperability POC, the FIT Alliance had already aligned onthebilloflading datastandards developed by BIMCO (for bulk and liquid shipping), DCSA (for container shipping) and FIATA (for B/Ls issued by freight forwarders). This was an important milestone in the FIT Alliance’s work to speed up adoption by ensuring that shippers and other stakeholders shipping different types of cargo can leverage the same set of data standards. In addition, BIMCO and SWIFT are

planning their own eBL interoperability POC based on DCSA standards.

2. Insufficient adoption byotherstakeholders

Since an eBL must flow through the hands of many stakeholders, a hurdle to eBL adoption is insufficient adoption by other stakeholders in the ecosystem. A majority (63%) of our survey respondents cited lack of stakeholder readiness as a key reason for not using eBLs, or not using them more, making it thesecondmostcitedreason.

The solution to this standoff is simply for companies to embrace standardisation by actively contributing to and driving standards implementation within their own organisations. Shipping standards are available now, and the FIT Alliance’s mission is to drive rapid adoption of these standards within their member organisations, as well as industrywide, to accelerate maritime digitalisation and the benefits it will bring.

Those benefits are compelling. When asked what the most important advantages of eBLs compared to paper BLs are, participants identified increased speed, cost savings from process efficiencies, and improved data accuracy due to the elimination ofmanualdatainput.

At a global economic growth rate of 2.4% through 2030, DCSA estimates the container shipping industry could potentially save more than $4 billion per year with 50% eBL adoption. What’s more, a recent McKinsey analysis estimates that a commitment to 100% eBL adoption could unlock around $18bn in gains for the ecosystem through faster document handling and reduced human error among other improvements, and $30-40 bn in global trade as digitisation reducestradefriction.

With standards as a framework for digitisation, the industry has a clear path forward to widespread eBL adoption and a future empowered by paperless trade for more sustainable shipping.

3. Legalacceptance oftheelectronic billoflading

Legal gaps were the third most cited reason for not using eBLs, selected by 55% of survey respondents. The United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) Model Law on Electronic Transferable Records (MLETR) offers a legal framework that can be adopted by countries to enable electronic documents to be recognised as legally equivalent topaperdocuments.

In reality, even though MLETR is not yet widely adopted, it does not pose an obstacle to eBL adoption today. eBL solution providers already have legal frameworks inplace to enable eBL adoptionandlegalinteroperability.

Nonetheless, the world saw a significant and positive boost when the UK government announced its intention to legalise digital trade documentation. The Electronic Trade Documents Bill, currently making its way through UK parliament, will legally recognise digital trade documentation as equivalent to paper by mid-2023. This paves the way for widespread adoption ofeBL for allsectors andindustries using English law asabasis for international contracts, which includes 80% of bills of lading, muchofworldtradeandseveralleadingoceancarriers.

Nextsteps

eBLsareanimportant partofthejourneytowards maritime digitisation. The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the inefficiencies of the current paper-based system, but these inefficiencies must not be viewed in isolation. Switching from paper bills of lading to eBLs will benefit international trade in innumerable ways by increasing speed, lowering administrative burden,lessening legalrisk,andreducingillegal tradeandcarbonemissions.

Sending physical paper around the world is not sustainable – and today, completely unnecessary. Paperless trade enabled by 100% eBL adoption can save 28,000 trees per year, equivalent toaround39footballfieldsofforest.

Following the survey, the FIT Alliance is reaching out to survey respondents and other industry stakeholders to get a deeper understanding of their current challenges and collaborate onactionstomoveeBLadoptionforward.

Warehousing Development Regulatory Authority signs pact with State Bank of India

NEW DELHI: Warehousing Development Regulatory Authority (WDRA) has signed a memorandum of understanding with State Bank of India to help farmers in gettinglowinterestrateloans.

The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed with the intent of promoting awareness about the new loan product called ‘Produce Marketing Loan’ to exclusively fund against e-NWRs (electronic Negotiable Warehouse Receipt) with features such as nil processing fee, no additional collateral and attractive interest rates, anofficialstatementsaid.

“It is envisaged that the product will have far reaching consequences with regard to acceptance of e-NWRs among small and marginal farmers. It has the potential to makesignificantimpactonthefinancesofruraldepositors by preventing distress sale and releasing better prices for theproduce,”itadded.

Combinedwiththeinherentsecurityandnegotiabilityof the e-NWR system, the ‘Produce Marketing Loan’ will go longwayinimprovingruralliquidityandincreasingfarmers income. The MoU was signed with the State Bank of India (SBI). In another statement, Food and Consumer Affairs ministry informed that a conference on “Digital financing against e-Negotiable Warehouse Receipts and way forward”washeldatNABARDHeadOfficeinMumbai.

The purpose of the conference was to interact with bankers to increase post-harvest pledge finance against e-NWRs issued by warehouses registered by WDRA and evolve mechanisms that would improve ease of doing business.

This would also help raise the post-harvest pledge financingfromcurrentlevels.

Bankers present expressed their satisfaction with the e-NWR system established by WDRA as it provides them with considerable safety and comfort against loans advancedbythemagainstwarehousereceipts.

Loaning against e-NWRs has shown a steady growth over the years. During FY 2022-23, the loan figure has alreadycrossedRs1,500crore.

WDRA, as the regulator of the warehousing sector and the agency for establishing the Negotiable Warehouse Receipts (NWRs) in the country, assured the bankers present that it would extend all support to bankers to ensuresafetyofloansmadeagainstelectronicNWRs.

Adani to deploy 400 BYD electric trucks at 4 Indian ports

MUMBAI: Chinese manufacturer BYD has kicked off the delivery of a batch of 304 electric trucks to India’s Adani Group. The BYD Q1R electric trucks are now on their way by sea to four Adani Group ports in India, where theywillbe usedasterminaltractors.

In total, the Adani Group has ordered 400 BYD electric trucks, all of which are scheduled to enter service later this year. These are to be put into operation at ports in Ennore, Katupalli, Hazira and Mundra. Five of the electric trucks have already reached Katupalli portandstartedoperation.

The Adani Group is an Indian

multinational company, famous for coal mining activities, among other things. The group is also the largest port developerandoperatorinIndia.

The BYD Q1R is a nearly six-meterlong tractor with an unladen weight of eight tons and a gross vehicle weight of nearly 42 tons. Since the Q1R is not designed for longer distances but only such distribution and logistics operations, a 217 kWh battery (as usual with LFP cells at BYD) is sufficient for a range of 100 kilometres. Charging takesplacewith40kWAC(sixhours)or up to 120 kW DC (two hours). The permanently excited synchronous motor produces 180 kW andoffers1,500Nmoftorque.

This is BYD’s first major order for heavy-duty electric trucks for port

operations in India. Liu Xueliang, General Manager of BYD AsiaPacific Auto Sales Division, stated: “BYD’s green new energy technology applied to the ports of Adani will help Indian ports and the Indian market to achieve carbon neutrality as soon as possible, and achieve a sustainable and zero-emission development. This is of great significance to, as well as a starting point for BYD’s electric truck businessdevelopmentinIndiaandeven intheAsia-Pacificregion.”

Adani Group plans to deploy all 400 electric tractors in 2023. According to BYD when announcing the large order, Adani Group claims to want to operate its ports “sustainably” by 2025 buthasnotgivenspecificfurtherdetails onwhatthisentails.

Decks cleared for setting up of first Multi-Modal Logistic Park in Bihar

KOLKATA: Decks have been cleared for the development of the first multi modal logistic park (MMLP) in Bihar.

The State Cabinet in its meeting held on 13 January approved the acquisitionof100acresoflandinFatuha near capital Patna for the state’s first MMLP.

The State Government will incur an expenditure of Rs 168.93 crore for the landacquisition.

Fatuha is an important industrial centre known for small industries and its handloom industries, and lies 24 km eastofPatna.

The cabinet also gave its nod for signing a memorandum of

understanding (MoU) with theNational Highway Logistics Management Limited (NHLML) which is the nodal agency for implementing the MMLP projectsinthecountry.

Patna MMLP will have both road and rail links and will reduce cost of transport of goods in and out of Bihar significantly.

35MMLPsunderProgress

The Ministry of Road Transport & Highways (MoRTH), under the first phase of Bharatmala Pariyojana, is constructing 35 MMLPs at some of the highest freight movement regions in thecountry.

These MMLPs are targeted to reduce logistics costs to less than 10

per cent of the gross domestic product (GDP). Currently, logistics account for 14 per cent of GDP — making India far less competitive on the globalstage.

Out of 35 MMLPs approved for implementation, five are in the state of Gujarat, followed by four in Maharashtra, three in Punjab, and two each in Andhra Pradesh, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Rajasthan andTamilNadu.

OneMMLPeachhasbeenapproved in the states of Assam, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Goa, Himachal Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, Telangana, West Bengal and the UT of Delhi and Jammu andKashmir.

PM Gati Shakti : All States on board & mapping 29 essential logistics data on NMP, says Surendra Ahirwar, Jt Secretary (Logistics Division)

Cont’d. from Pg. 3

The data includes those related to land records, forest, wildlife, eco sensitive zones, Coastal Regulation Zone, reserve forest, water resources, rivers, embankments, canals, reservoirs dams, soil type seismicity, flood map, power transmission and distribution, mining areas, roads, water supply pipelines,sewerlinesamongothers.

The logistics division of DPIIT is pilotingtheGatiShaktiMission.

A majority of the states, Ahirwar said, have also set up the institutional mechanism on the lines of PM Gati Shakti such as the empowered group of state secretaries and the Network Planning Group (NPG) to oversee the work that is being done. Under the PM Gati Shakti Mission, right at the top, there is an empowered group of secretaries headed by the cabinet secretary.

Next, there is a body called the

NPG, which has the planning incharges of seven infrastructure ministries as members. The body meets once a fortnight to look at all project proposals from a coordination pointofview.

“The states have set up their empowered group of secretaries and NPG. They have also created their State Master Plan portal, which will eventually be integrated with the NationalMasterPlan,”hesaid.

Mapping the data layers, Ahirwar added, will help states plan their complementary infrastructure better. “For instance, if the PWD plans to lay a new road, it will be able to see in the State Master Plan if the alignment of the proposed road is passing through a revenue land, reserve forest or eco sensitive zones. If it falls in some reserve forest land, the alignment can be altered at the planning stage itself. This will help cut delays and ensure smooth

implementationoftheproject.”

The Centre is hand-holding the states in readying their Master Plan and mapping data layers on it. Earlier this month, the Union Finance Ministryallocatedapproximately Rs 5,000 crore of the Rs 1 lakh crore earmarked under the ‘Scheme for Special Assistance to States for Capital Investment for 2022-23’ to the states for undertaking infrastructure projects under the PM Gati Shakti Mission.

So far, 28 states have submitted over 190 projects amounting to Rs 5,000 crore for approval to DPIIT. The projects include multimodal logistics parks, modern aggregation centres, critical connectivity infrastructure for providing last and first mile connectivity to industrial parks, economic zones, development of city logistics plan, setting up of PM Gati Shakti data centres among others.

Exports in negative territory due to recession like situation, slowdown and rising inflation in most economies:

NEW DELHI : Responding to December, 2022 Trade Data, FIEO President, DrASakthivel said that merchandise exports in negative territory is on expected lines as the challenges continue due to recession like situation, slowdown and rising inflation in most economies across the globe. Decline in merchandise exports is a reflection of the toughening global trade conditions on account of high inventories, economies entering recession, high volatility in currencies and geopolitical tensions. The drop in commodity prices and restriction on some exports, with a view to stem the price increase in the domestic market, havealsoaffected the

growth numbers. Flight of capital from the market has also impacted the growth process. FIEO President is of the view that the coming months would be quite challenging unless both global economic growth and geopolitical situationimprovesdrastically.

However, decrease in imports is a good sign, which will put less burden on trade deficit front. We hope that the energy prices will come down further to providemorerelief,opinedFIEOChief.

Dr Sakthivel added that in the current situation, the focus should be on providing easy liquidity at competitive cost, extension of ECLGS for one more year till 31.3.2024 by suitably enhancing the moratorium period, restoration of the Interest Equalization support to 5%

Further, the Federation is also of the view that the new TMA scheme for agri exporters and announcement on allocation of export development fund withacorpusofRs5000Crforaggressive overseas marketing by MSME to showcaseIndianproductsgloballyinthe upcoming budget is the need of the hour. He stressed on the need to support exports at the district level with sizeable budgetary support for the District as an ExportHubschemetobridgethesupply sidegaps.

COSCO SHIPPING Logistics takes actions to Support Science-Based Targets Initiative

BEIJING: To support the Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi), COSCO SHIPPING Logistics has recently submitted to the organization a 1.5°C pathway-based scientific emission reduction target for COSCO SHIPPING LogisticsChongqing.

Asanorganizationco-initiatedbyfourNGOs,SBTifocuses on encouraging companies to set GHG emission reduction targetsbasedonclimatescience,helpingthemshifttothelowcarbon economy and enhance their competitive advantage. With COSCO SHIPPING Logistics Chongqing as the project subject, COSCO SHIPPING Logistics has been vigorously exploringanewpathofgreendevelopmentinordertopromote itshigh-qualitydevelopment.

In the early stage, China Standard Inspection (a subsidiary of COSCO SHIPPING Logistics), worked efficiently with the company’s Container Logistics Business Division to formulate an overall project promotion plan according to the requirements of the enterprise’s scientific-based target; meanwhile, as a greenhouse gas verification organization and a product and management system certification body registered with the Certification and Accreditation Administration of China (CNCA), China Standard Inspection carried out Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 GHG emission accounting work based on the international GHG accounting system (GHG Protocol) for COSCO SHIPPING Logistics Chongqing. In line with the 1.5ºC

temperature rise target specified in the Paris Agreement, it set immediate and long-term (net-zero) emission reduction targets for the company by taking the Absolute Contraction Approach and Sectoral Decarbonization Approach based on the relevant SBTi tools and methodological requirements, andsuccessfullysubmittedthetargettoSBTi.

COSCO SHIPPING Logistics will further implement the concept of green development, strengthen innovation, operate with more stringent standards, and make great strides forward on the road of low-carbon sustainable development.
