DHAKA: A.P. MollerMaersk (Maersk) launched a new ocean shippingservicebetween China and Bangladesh to meet the growing trade demand, especially in the retail industry. The new service, called SH3, commenced service on 7 July 2024 and adds more capacity to the ocean networkbetweenthetwocountries.
TheSH3rotationstartsfromShanghaiPortinChina, with calls at Xiamen, Kaohsiung, Nansha and Tanjung Pelepas on the way to Chittagong, Bangladesh. On the return journey to Shanghai Port, SH3 will call Tanjung Palapas, where long-haul routes to Europe are connected.
The introduction of the SH3 service will complement the existing SH1, SH2 and IA7 services between China and Bangladesh. Adjustments have been made to SH1 and SH2 to optimise the offering further. The combination of these services expands coverage in China, providing multiple options for loading cargo throughout the week from Shanghai, Nansha, and NingboandmoredirectshippingchoicestoBangladesh. The varied options in transit time and frequency for customers will allow them to have not only additional capacity but also flexibility and efficiency in theirsupplychains.
“In this time-sensitive industry, retailers demand timely delivery across the entire supply chain to meet their customers’ fast-changing expectations. The new network accelerates the supply chain and benefits Chinese textile raw materials exporters and
garment manufacturers in Bangladesh, said Wen Bing Lim,RegionalHeadofIntra-AsiaMarketatMaersk.
“The demand for textiles and garments from Bangladesh in the Western markets is constantly growing. Our customers have been demanding more capacity for raw materials coming into Bangladesh and readymade garments getting exported. The redesigned network allows textile manufacturers in Bangladesh to gain flexibility and speed for imports of raw material as well as exports of finished goods, supporting Bangladesh's fast-developing Readymade Garment (RMG) industry, said, Nikhil D’Lima, Head of Maersk inBangladesh.

Port of Antwerp-Bruges signs Oslo Declaration
ANTWERP:
PortofAntwerpBruges, Fluxys and key players from the chemical industry signed the Oslo Declaration during the Belgian economic mission to Norway in June. In doing so, they underscored the necessity ofaclearpolicyregardingCCUS.
International collaboration is crucial for CCUS
Carbon Capture, Usage and Storage (CCUS)entailscapturingCO2emissionsand storingthem,suchasindepletedgasfieldsin the North Sea. At a later stage, the captured CO2 can be reused as raw material. CCUS is pivotal in the energy transition and essential for industries where CO2 emissionsareunavoidable.
1.Intra-BelgianIndustrialDeal
Although CO2 is a regional competence, the industry is calling for legislative alignment within Belgium. An example is the specific purity requirements for CO2 transportedthroughpipelines.
Belgium has no storage sites for captured CO2. That’s why international collaboration is crucial. Belgium has already entered into agreements with the Netherlands, Denmark, and Norway to this end. It is one of the European frontrunners, exemplified by its ‘Northern Lights’ project, which aims to store the first captured CO2 in depleted Norwegian gas fields by2024.
TheroleofPortofAntwerp-BrugesinCCUS
To underscore the significance of collaboration with Norway, a Belgian economic mission was scheduled. The Port of Antwerp-Bruges and Fluxys, collaborating within the c-grid consortium, took the opportunity to address the challenges of decarbonising industry through the Oslo Declaration, emphasising the importance of maintaining competitiveness.
Port of Antwerp-Bruges plays an important role in theCCUSchainandhasseveralprojectsplannedforthis purpose.
• In Antwerp, work is underway on the Antwerp@Cproject.Fromthere,capturedCO2willbetransportedto ‘sinks’forstorageindepletedgasfields.
• In Zeebrugge, Fluxys is building new CO2compressors to transport captured CO2 from there viaunderseapipelinestostoragesitesintheNorthSea.
•TotransportcapturedCO2toZeebrugge,thePortof Antwerp-Bruges joined Fluxys’ c-grid initiative via its subsidiaryPipelink.Thatpipelinenetworkwilltransport captured CO2 from Belgian and European industries to exitsitessuchasAntwerpandZeebrugge. TheOsloDeclaration
The Oslo Declaration aims to put five crucial policy questions on the agenda of Belgian policymakers. The timing, immediately following the elections when coalition agreements are being drafted, was ideal for this.
2.ANewSpiritofLaw-making
Legislation should provide companies with the flexibility to pursue their own paths toward sustainability, avoiding unnecessary over-regulation thatcomplicatestheprocess.
3. De-risking Mechanisms to Support Early Movers intheCCUSValueChain
Since there is currently no profitable business case for CCUS, temporary financial support from the government is essential. In doing so, the industry is advocatingforatemporarymechanismtomitigaterisks untilthemarketcatchesup.
4.RoleofMoleculesinFutureEnergySystem
It’s crucial that companies maintain the flexibility to pursue sustainable practices. Therefore, policy should be bold in exploring multiple new molecules rather than focusing on just one, so as to ensure that an adequate supply of energy and electricity remains available in the future.
5.NorthSeaCooperation
Belgium must be able to cooperate with non-EU North Sea countries, such as the UK, which has large CO2 storage capacity. Harmonising and consistently maintaining policies, especially regarding specifications,isessentialinthiscontext.
TheOsloDeclarationwassignedbyseveralAntwerp firms (Port of Antwerp-Bruges, Air Liquide, BASF, Total Energies, ExxonMobil and Ineos), Ghent (North Sea Port, Engie and ArcelorMittal), Wallonia (Carmeuse, Holcim, Heidelberg Materials and Lhoist) and Norwegian firm Equinor. The latter has robust operations in Belgium and is in partnership with Fluxys forafuturepipelinebetweenZeebruggeandNorway.
Due to significant interest, the declaration will be expanded to allow other key CO2 players and relevant sector federations, such as Voka and essenscia, toalsosign.

Exports positive in April-June quarter despite global challenges : Piyush Goyal
Cont’d. from Pg. 3
India’s merchandise exports increased by 9.1 percent to USD 38.13 billion in May. During April-May of this fiscal year, outbound shipments grew by 5.1 percent to USD 73.12 billion. The commerce ministry will officially release the export data for JuneonJuly15.
“Despite the ongoing two wars (Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Hamas), the Red Sea crisis, and container shortage issues, our exports are in a positive zone. One more advantage thatwehaveisthefastpacegrowthin theservicesexports,”Goyalsaid.
He added that the services sector has benefited from the government’s DigitalIndiamissionandtherolloutof 4G and 5G networks, which are
boostingIndia’sservicesexports.
Last month, Goyal stated that India’s goods and services exports are expected to surpass USD 800 billion this fiscal year despite global challenges. In 2023-24, shipments totaled USD 778.2 billion (goods $437.1 billion and services $341 billion).
Regarding foreign direct investments(FDI),Goyalsaidinflows are expected to increase once internationalrecessionaryconditions improve and interest rates in the US and Europe start to decline. Nevertheless, India continues to attractFDI.
High interest rates in the US and other developed countries make those markets profitable for
investment, yet foreign portfolio investments (FPIs) in India reflect strong investor confidence. In June, FPIs invested Rs 26,565 crore in Indian equities, driven by political stabilityandasharpmarketrebound. FDI equity inflows in India fell by 3.49 percent to USD 44.42 billion in 2023-24. However, inflows during January-March FY24 rose by 33.4 percent to $12.38 billion compared to USD 9.28 billion in the same period the previous year. The total FDI, including equity inflows, reinvested earnings, and other capital, declined marginally by one percent to $70.95 billion in 2023-24 from $71.35 billion in 2022-23, according to data from the Department for Promotion of IndustryandInternalTrade(DPIIT).

This development is in addition to the next three phases of the port’s expansion, which are set to be completed within four years. Recognising the vast potential of Vizhinjam Port, the company has decidedtodoubleitsinvestment.
Initially, the Adani Group had announcedaninvestmentofRs10,000 crore for the next three phases. However, during the reception of the new mother ship, Karan Adani, Managing Director of Adani Ports and SEZ Limited (APSEZ),
revealed that the investment would be increased to Rs 20,000 crore.
Vizhinjam Seaport is located very close to the famous Kovalam beach and has water connectivity to many regional and international ports. This is the first transshipment port in the country.

Upcoming Budget may launch Maritime Development Fund to promote Shipbuilding
NEW DELHI : The central government may soon launch a maritime development fund to support firms in building ships and the announcement could be made in the upcoming Budget 2024, according tosources.
The Budget could also see the announcement of a green ship scheme under which the government plans to promote pollution-free
hydrogen-based vessels on domestic waterways,accordingtothereport.
As of today, India’s share in the global shipbuilding industry is hardly around 2 percent and each year the country spends over $70 billion on leasing. However, shipbuilding requires a lot of money over a long period of time and the shipping ministry feels this fund could provide a start, according to the report,
adding that the proposal has been senttotheFinanceMinistry.
In addition, the Centre is planning to replace oil-guzzling ships plying on theIndianriverswithcleanvesselsby providing incentives under its green ship scheme. A pilot project is underway and Cochin Shipyard has built some green ships. The Budget announcement could see the expansionoftheproject.
NHAI to ready detailed project report for port connectivity highway corridor in Kochi by September
NEWDELHI:Thelandacquisition forthemuch-awaitedportconnectivity highway corridor (NH 966-B), that the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) sanctioned in November 2023 inordertolinkNettooronVyttila-Aroor NH bypass with CIFT Junction in Willingdon Island, is set to commence fromDecember.
The proposed four-lane highway having 45-m width will bypass Kundannoor Junction, the narrow, illmaintained 2-km-long KundannoorThevara Bridge, Alexander Parambithara Bridge and the bottlenecked Mattancherry BOT BridgeJunction.Thelandacquisition process for the port connectivity highway corridor, that was then estimated to be 6-km-long, had hit a hurdle earlier this year, since the NHAI and the Cochin Port Authority
(CPA) were not on the same page regardingitsalignment.
The project is now set to take off since the extent and the number of curves on the corridor have been reduced. The revised alignment that has been mulled is expected to be finalisedintwomonthsalongwiththe detailed project report (DPR). It would in turn lessen the distance of the highway and also the extent of landacquisition,itislearnt.
Apart from decongesting the Nettoor-Kundannoor Junction-CIFT Junction corridor, the proposed highwaywouldconsiderablyaugment connectivity to the port from Nettoor on the NH 66 Bypass, from where the 44-km-long, six-lane Kochi Bypass is set to take off from and end at Karayamparambu that is located beyondAngamalyonNH544.Thetwo
highway corridors in the offing are expected to cater to container lorries fromVizhinjamandotherports.
The NHAI had envisaged a trumpet flyover at Nettoor to cater to trafficthatwouldconvergetherefrom NH 66 Bypass and the two proposed highways. The CIFT Junction too would be developed, as part of the NH 966-B port-connectivity highway, saidinformedsources.
The Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) had in November 2023 approved the initial alignment for the port connectivity NH corridor, while the landacquisitionprocesswasslatedto begin from December. The CPA had constraintsaboutthealignmentsince it reportedly passed through land bordering the backwaters where a hospitalityprojectwasintheoffing.
First Indian ship takes perishable food items to Maldives’ southernmost port
MALE: The first shipment carrying150tonnesofperishablefood items from India to a port at Addu is set to reduce the cost and complexity of imports into the southern atolls of Maldives, according to media reports here.
An Indian ship carrying fresh fruits, vegetables, onions, garlic, and eggs had set sail from Tuticorin Port and reached Hithadhoo Port at Addu recently.
The arrival of the Indian cargo ship also saw the opening of a direct shipping route by the Maldives Ports Limited (MPL) from Tuticorin Port in Tamil Nadu to Hithadhoo Port at Addu.
“This marks a new chapter in the collaboration between MPL, Hithadhoo Regional Port, and Indian shipping companies to deliver fresh fruits, vegetables, onions, garlic, and
eggs directly to Addu residents,” said asource.
Calling it as “a landmark development poised to transform the logistics landscape for Addu City,” Maldives Maritime Journal (MMJ) said this initiative is set to significantly reduce the cost and complexity of importing goods, particularly perishables, into the southernatolls.
MMJ quoted MPL CEO Mohamed Wajeeh Ibrahim, who highlighted the importance of this initiative saying, “This will result in significant conveniences for the people of Addu. Instead of shipping goods to Male’, shipping directly to Adduwillbringdowncosts.Adducan now get fresh vegetables and fruits.”
The establishment of this route is also a result of enhanced security measures at Hithadhoo port,
implemented to address concerns raised by Indian shipping companies,MMJadded.
This is being looked at as the beginning of a potential bi-weekly service.
Meanwhile, Maldives’ Minister of State for the Ministry of Construction and Infrastructure Ibrahim Thoaam Mohamed has announced that the ThilamaleBridgeprojecthasreached 40.47 per cent completion. The first segment of the bridge’s marine precast deck near Villimale’ has been completed, he stated in a post on socialmedia.
The Thilamale Bridge project, spanning 6.7 km and connecting four areas, will cost more than USD 454 million. Signed during the previous administration, the project highlights the strong bilateral ties between the MaldivesandIndia.
