... Submitted by: Neha Vij 2011H149203 Bharat Seaports Authority EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: India is endowed with an extensive coastline of 7,517 km. There are 12 major ports under the jurisdiction of the union government and 187 non major ports spread across nine coastal states regulated by the respective State Government. However, only 48 non-major ports are handling cargo. While major ports handle approx 73% of total cargo traffic, non-major ports account for the balance 27 %( in 1996-97, the share was around 10%). Container service provides seems to be the safest and most economic mode of seaway transportation. Hence is also became the fast growing mode of cargo. Container traffic in India is mainly handled by the major ports at Calcutta, Madras, Cochin, Mumbai and Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT)*. Trans-Shipment Procedure: A berth for the ship container is allocated 2 or 3 days before its arrival, based on the ship’s characteristics, berth characteristics, marine considerations etc. As soon as a ship is berthed, the quay cranes are lowered to lift imported cargo and place them on the chassis/trailers of trucks, which carry the containers to their designated stack yards. Here yard cranes pick them and stack them in their designated slots. A quay crane is positioned every 75 meter of wharf length. Containers for import, export, and trans-shipment are stacked separately in the stack yard. Each quay crane can perform on an average 25 moves (full cycles)...

...commands exceeds the costs involved in creating the product. Creating value for buyers that exceeds the cost of doing so is the goal of any generic strategy. * Value activities can be divided into two broad types; primary and support activities. * Primary – activities involved in the physical creation of the product and its sale and transfer to the buyer as well as after sale assistance. In relation to this case the primary value activity would be the vessel. (Inbound logistics, Operations, Outbound logistics, Marketing & Sales, Service) * Support – activities support the primary activities and each other by providing purchased inputs, technology, human resources and various firm-wide functions. (Human Resources Management, Technology development, Procurement) Porter's 5 Forces Analysis 1. Threat of New Entrants. Economies of Scale/ Government Policy The threat of new entrants is high. New Entrants like Brazil, South Korea, Yugoslavia, and Poland were growing two to three times as fast as the rest of the industry due to low labor cost, centralized planning and new capacity. Also the government offered tax incentives for the development of shipbuilding such as tax allowance programs, depreciation tax deferment, rebates and credit assistance. * On a per ton basis building a 200,000 DWT tanker would be...

...centuries and transferred this artistic skill to subsequent generations across different cluster of population. Historical records say that Chittagong port was the best centre of building ocean-going vessels in the middle of the 15th century. Even in the 17th century, the entire fleet of ships of the Sultan of Turkey was built at Chittagong. Also in 1805, the British Navy built ships at Chittagong for the famous battle of Trafalgar. However, with the passage of time, the glory of shipbuilding in this region began to fade. Shipbuilding revived again when a number of local entrepreneurs of Bangladesh brought name and fame for the country by developing potential in shipbuilding by handing over some ocean-going vessels to overseas buyers from Denmark, Finland and Mozambique. Bangladeshi shipbuilders have also handed over few ice-class vessels to a German company and more vessels are going to be delivered by the next few years. Thus shipbuilding in Bangladesh is marching forward in a way to securing a firm position in the world market and at the same time, the country is returning slowly to its past tradition of building ships for foreign countries. Some leading local shipyards like Ananda and Western Marine are now engaged in building over 40 small to medium category vessels worth about $0.6 billion, mainly for European buyers. Bangladesh is blessed with 9,000 sq km of territorial waters, 720-km long coastline and 200,000 sq km of Exclusive...

...to the 15th century, Europeans were limited to coastal cabotage navigation using the barge (barca) or the balinger (barinel), ancient cargo vessels used in the Mediterranean of around 50 to 200 tons. These boats were fragile, with only one mast with a fixed square sails that could not overcome the navigational difficulties of Southward oceanic exploration, as the strong winds, shoals and strong ocean currents easily overwhelmed their abilities. The caravel was developed in about 1450, based on existing fishing boats under the sponsorship of Prince Henry the Navigator of Portugal and soon became the preferred vessel for Portuguese explorers. Its name may derive from an ancient boat type known as carabus in Latin and καραβος in Greek, later Arabized to qārib, indicating some continuity of its carvel build through the ages.[2] They were agile and easier to navigate, with a tonnage of 50 to 160 tons and 1 to 3 masts, with lateen triangular sails allowing beating. Being smaller and having a shallow keel, the caravel could sail upriver in shallow coastal waters. With the lateen sails attached, it was highly maneuverable and could sail much nearer the wind, while with the square Atlantic-type sails attached, it was very fast. Its economy, speed, agility, and power made it esteemed as the best sailing vessel of its time. The limited capacity for cargo and crew were their main drawbacks, but did not hinder its success. The exploration done with caravels made possible the...

... Despite recessionary conditions, traffic handled at major ports has grown on an average by 5.7% in the year 2009-10, over the year 2008-09. However, ports like Haldia (-20.4%), Ennore (-6.9%) and New Mangalore (-3.2%) are few of the main ports that witnessed negative growth in 2009-10. Nevertheless, most of the ports have not achieved their target for the year 2009-10. Mormugao (8.5%), Tuticorin (8.1%) Mumbai (2%), Kandla (2%), and Paradip (1.8%) were the only ports which achieved their growth target for 2009-10. Haldia (-22.1%) and Ennore (-14%) were the two ports which showed huge variation in traffic compared to the traffic targeted in 2009-10. It has been the endeavour of Government of India to consistently enhance the cargo handling capacity of the major ports keeping in view the projected traffic for the country. The aggregate capacity in major ports as on 31.3.2009 was 574.77 MTPA. Major cargoes handled at Indian...

...History Galveston Island was discovered by Juan de Grijalva in 1519 with the first settlement established in 1816 by French Privateer Louis-Michel Aury. Over three hundred years later, the Port of Galveston was officially established as a port in 1825 by the Congress of Mexico making it the oldest port west of New Orleans. But its unofficial roots can be traced to 1817 when pirate Jean Lafitte landed on Galveston Island and made it the base for his operations. Through the 1800’s and into the 1900’s the Port of Galveston grew to be one of the busiest ports in the United States second only to New York City. Common cargoes handled during the boom years included cotton, wheat, cattle and rice. Today Fast forward to today and The Port of Galveston is an enterprise utility of the City of Galveston receiving no tax payer support. The port is overseen by a six person Board of Trustees appointed by the City Council. The Port Director is responsible for the day to day activity of the Port with the Board providing input on policy and direction. The port is essentially a landlord port and therefore not involved with the operations of its “tenants”, but structures leases and agreements so there is a return on its investments. But the port is not guided solely on attaining a ROI but also seeks to act as an economic driver for the region so job creation is a key component in decision making. Attributes The Port of Galveston is located on the northern shore of the barrier...

...To ensure that slaves would not rebel by uprising or by suicide, ship crews took advantage of various forms of torture. Crews forced captives to perform humiliating physical exercises or flailed them with whips in order to prevent insubordinate activities. For example, Oulaudah Equiano, a former slave, recounts in his 1789 memoir: “…on my refusing to eat, one of them [his captors] held me fast…and tied my feet, while the other flogged me severely.” Other forms of abuse such as rape were common on slave ships as African men, unable to protect the women, were forced to hear about, and at times, see, the slavers violating female captives. Another anguish experienced on slaving vessels was disease. Africans, ripped from their homelands and unaccustomed to their new surroundings, quickly succumbed to numerous illnesses such as dysentery, measles, smallpox, and more. To diminish loss of their precious cargo, slavers often murdered the sick to keep disease from spreading. Unfortunately, the horrible conditions in which slaves were imposed heightened the transmission of sickness among the...

...Containers - Maersk boss predicts further consolidation Page 1 of 2 Maersk boss predicts further consolidation Wednesday 23 February 2011, 14:01 by Janet Porter Interested in this topic?Set up a custom email alert and we'll tell you everytime we write more like this. Box sector to undergo further rationalisation over long-term as weaker lines are marginalised Maersk Line is concentrating on organic growth. AP MOLLER-Maersk chief executive Nils Andersen is forecasting further rationalisation in the container shipping industry in the coming years, with smaller lines struggling to compete against the big global players. Although Maersk Line is concentrating on organic growth, having just signed a $1.9bn deal for a series of 18,000 teu vessels, Mr Andersen said he expects to see consolidation over the long-term as weaker operators find themselves marginalised. “We believe the world will develop in a way where smaller players will find it increasingly difficult to put their mark on the industry,” Mr Andersen said shortly after reporting that the group had made record profits in 2010 as its container shipping division powered back into the black. “Some consolidation will happen, although whether through takeovers, or because more marginal players cannot find investors to back their plans, I don’t know.” Over the years, the Danish group has been one of the most active players in the container shipping consolidation process, having bought Safmarine, Sea-Land and finally P&O Nedlloyd...
