A.P. Moller - Maersk to strengthen its Saudi Arabia operations with a new Cold Storage Facility at Mawani’s King Abdulaziz Port in Dammam

DAMMAM: A. P. MollerMaersk (Maersk), a global integrator of container logistics, signed an agreement with Refad Real Estate to operate a brand new Cold Storage facility at King Abdulaziz Port in Dammam, Saudi Arabia. Maersk will open the doors to the facilityinMarch2023foritscustomers.

The agreement was signed in the presence of His Excellency the Minister of Transport and Logistics, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Authority, Engineer Saleh bin Nasser Al-Jasser, His Excellency the President of the Saudi Ports Authority, Mr Omar bin Tala Hariri, Mohammad Shihab, Managing Director, MaerskSaudiArabiaandtheChairmanoftheBoardof Al Qahtani Holding, Sheikh Abdulaziz Abdelhadi Al-Qahtani. The agreement was signed by Group Director of Real Estate, Mr Abdelhadi Abdulaziz Al Qahtani of Refad Real Estate and the Director of Products and Services, Maersk Saudi Arabia, MohamedSedeekHashish.

“Saudi Arabia is a significant market for us. With more than a fifth of the country’s food imports coming through King Abdulaziz Port in Dammam, we wanted to establish a state-of-the-art cold storage facility that will help us serve the food industry better”, said Mr Mohammad Shihab during the signing ceremony. He added, Our ambition is to connect and simplify our customers’ supply chains. To achieve this, we must be close to our customers, collaborate with trusted and reliable partners and build a networkthattrulyenablesglobaltrade.Withournewfacility inDammam,wearesettingourselvesuptoachieveallthree goals, Mr Mohammad Shihab, Managing Director, Maersk SaudiArabia.

StrategicLocation

Dammam enjoys a strategic location in more than one way.Severalfoodprocessingmanufacturersinthedifferent industrial zones and residential communities are based around King Abdulaziz Port in Dammam. This means that thereismanufacturingaswellasconsumptionoffooditems in and around Dammam. Moreover, Dammam lies in close proximity to neighbouring Gulf countries like the UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain and Qatar, making it a significantly important distribution hub for several markets. On the otherside,KingAbdulazizPortisalsostronglyconnectedto the hinterland through a robust road and rail network, makingitthelocationofchoiceformany.

Astate-of-the-artfacility

Maersk’s Cold Storage facility at King Abdulaziz Port in Dammam will primarily serve the requirement to store frozen commodities such as poultry, meat, vegetables, confectionary and processed food. The facility will also house chilled cargo such as dairy products and seasonal fruits. To ensure top-notch quality of service, the facility willbeequippedwithworld-classstandardswhenitcomes totemperatureandhumiditycontrol.Thiswillhelpensure minimum to no food wastage during its storage at the facility. The customers will also get complete visibility on these parameters, thus creating transparent and trusted operations.

Sustainabilityatthecore

ESG, especially decarbonisation, is at the core of every decision Maersk takes. In line with that, several considerations have been made to ensure that greenhouse gas emissions are kept to a minimum through variousactionssuchas:

1. A 600 kWp solar panel plant will be installed on the facility’s roof to generate at least 15% of the power requirement at the start of operations. This power plant can be extended to cover most energy requirementsinthefuture.

2. An on-site water treatment plant will be installed to cater to all facility water requirements. This will avoid transporting water in trucks from external water treatment plants, thus eliminating the carbon emissions from driving these trucks for almost 87,600 kmperyear.

3. In the near future, the trucks shunting between the facility and King Abdulaziz Port’s terminal will also be replacedwithelectriconestoreducecarbonemissions further.

No plan to lower e-invoicing threshold to Rs 5 crore: CBIC

NEW DELHI: The Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs has said there is no proposal at present to reduce the threshold limit to Rs 5 crore for e-invoicing under the GoodsandServicesTaxregimefromJanuary1,2023.

“There is no proposal before the Government, at present, to reduce this threshold limit to Rs 5 crore with effect from 01.01.2023, as no such recommendation has been made by GST Council as yet,” it said in a tweet. It is clarified that presently, e-invoicing has been made mandatory for registered persons having aggregate turnover more than

Rs 10 crore in any preceding financial year from 2017-18 onwards,CBICfurthersaid.

The GST Council in its 35th meeting in June 2019 had decided to introduce the e-invoicing or electronic invoicing system in a phase-wise manner for business-to-business transactions.

E-invoicing was made mandatory for businesses with a thresholdofRs500crorefromOctober1,2020.Thethreshold has gradually been lowered to bring more businesses under thesystem.

Govt strengthens efforts to counter slowdown in Exports

Cont’d. from Pg. 3

Senior officials of the Commerce Ministry have started in-depth, product-wise analysis to identify export opportunities in markets beyond the traditional ones, sources said. “The Ministry is closely reviewing exports with various export promotion councils and overseas missions,” said one of the officials. Given that the large markets are likely to see a demand slowdown even in the next fiscal, the diversification efforts assumesignificance.

Interestingly, the fresh push comes at a time when the export pecking order has changed dramatically. TheNetherlandshasemergedasIndia’s third-largest export destination this fiscal, ahead of China and Bangladesh. But what comes as a greater surprise is that Brazil, which occupied the 21st spot in FY22, is now India’s 8th biggest export market. Similarly, Indonesia has moved up seven notches tograbthe7thpositionthisfiscal.

Having hit a record $422 billion in

FY22, India’s exports started faltering inrecentmonths,thankstotheUkraine war and the interest rate tightening by key central banks that will hit growth in advanced economies. Merchandise exports barely inched up in November from a year before and they had shrunk 16.7% in October. This has dragged downIndia’sexportgrowthtojust11.1% in the first eight months of this fiscal, after a decent performance earlier this fiscal.

The International Monetary Fund has forecast only 0.5% growth for Europe and 1% for the US for 2023, against the projected expansion rates of 3.1% and 1.6%, respectively, for this year. The World Trade Organization (WTO) has estimated only 1% growth in global trade volume for 2023. This will weigh on the prospects for India’sexportgrowthaswell.

Of course, while India’s exports to theNetherlandssawaspurtthisfiscal, those to some other EU economies — such as Belgium, Greece, Ireland, Poland and Denmark — have started

faltering. In fact, amid a demand slowdown, only two European nations — the Netherlands and the UK — are amongIndia’stoptenmarkets,against 4 in FY22. Germany and Belgium, whichfeaturedinthelistlastfiscal,are outofitnow.

Meanwhile, the US and the UAE continue to be the largest and secondlargest export destinations, respectively, for India. The exports to the US rose 9% until October (still lower than the rise in overall goods exports) to $47.2 billion, while those to theUAEshotup18.9%to$18.2billion.

Interestingly, exports to Australia and Taiwan, who have been seeking to diversify away from a belligerent China, were as high as $8.06 billion and $2.7 billion, respectively, last fiscal–or 165.9% and 142.1% of the respective targets. These markets are expected to be tapped more aggressively by exporters. An interim trade deal with Australia,whichwillcomeintoforceon December 29, is expected to further spurexports.

UP to develop Dry Ports & CFS to boost Exports

VARANASI: Land-locked Uttar Pradesh, which is aiming to become a trillion-dollar economy by 2027, will develop a network of Dry Ports and freight con¬tainer stations(FCS) to boost exports. The state plans to develop a modern logistics ecosystem in partnership with privateplayers.

A dry port is an inland intermodal port directly linked to a seaport by roads or railway to facilitate faster movement of export cargo. Under the UP Wareh¬ousing and Logistics Policy 2022, the state will fast-track landallotmentsforlogisticsparksand offer a string of subsidies and incentives to attract private investments.

The state will support the private sector for the development of storage facilities, cold chains, multi-modal parks, container depots, and container freight stations

Everyone is hunting for alternatives to the US

Dollar, from India to Kazakhstan

NEW YORK: King Dollar is facing a revolt. Tired of a too-strong and newly weaponised greenback, some of the world’s biggest economies are exploring ways to circumvent the US currency, according to a Bloomberg Report.

Smaller nations, including at least a dozen in Asia, are also experimenting with de-dollarisation. And corporates around the world are selling an unprecedented portion of their debt in local currencies, wary of furtherdollarstrength.

No one is saying the greenback will be dethroned anytime soon from its reign as the principal medium of exchange. Calls for “peak dollar” have many times proven premature. But not too long ago it was almost unthinkable for countries to explore payment mechanisms that bypassed the US currency or the SWIFT network that underpins the global financialsystem.

Now, the sheer strength of the dollar, its use under President Joe Biden to enforce sanctions on Russia this year and new technological innovationsaretogetherencouraging nations to start chipping away at its hegemony.Treasuryofficialsdeclined tocommentonthesedevelopments.

“This will simply intensify the efforts in Russia and China to try to manage their part of the world economy without the dollar,” said Paul Tucker, a former Deputy

Governor of the Bank of England in a Bloombergpodcast.

Writing in a newsletter last week, John Mauldin, an investment strategist and president of Millennium Wave Advisors with more than three decades of markets experience said the Biden administration made an error in weaponising the US dollar and the globalpaymentsystem.

“That will force non-US investors andnationstodiversifytheirholdings outsideofthetraditionalsafehavenof theUS,”saidMauldin.

BilateralPayments

Plans already underway in Russia and China to promote their currencies for international payments, including through the use of blockchain technologies,acceleratedrapidlyafter the invasion of Ukraine. Russia, for example, began seeking remuneration for energy supplies in rubles. Soon, the likes of Bangladesh, Kazakhstan and Laos were also steppingupnegotiationswithChinato boosttheiruseoftheyuan.Indiabegan talking up more loudly the internationalisation of the rupee and just this month, started securing a bilateralpaymentmechanismwiththe UnitedArabEmirates.

Progress however appears to be slow. Yuan accounts haven’t gained traction in Bangladesh for example due to the nation’s wide trade deficit withChina.

“Bangladesh has tried to pursue de-dollarisation in trade with China, but the flow is almost one-sided,” said Salim Afzal Shawon, head of research at Dhaka based BRAC EPL Stock BrokerageLtd.

A major driver of those plans was the move by the US and Europe to cut off Russia from the global financial messaging system known as SWIFT. The action, described as a “financial nuclear weapon” by the French, left most major Russian banks estranged from a network that facilitates tens of millions of transactions every day, forcing them to lean on their own, muchsmallerversioninstead.

That had two implications. First, the US sanctions on Russia stoked concern that the dollar could more permanently become an overt political tool — a concern shared especially by China, but also beyond Beijing and Moscow. India, for example, has been developing its own homegrown payments system that wouldpartlymimicSWIFT.

Second, the US decision to use the currencyaspartofamoreaggressive form of economic statecraft puts extra pressure on economies in Asia tochoosesides.

Without any alternative payments system, they’d run the risk of being compelled into compliance with, or enforcement of, sanctions they may not agree with — and losing out on tradewithkeypartners.
