IMW is a fine example of

public private partnership,
where the government and
private together put up this
grand event, showcasing
India as a major maritime
power. It will be a good
idea to use IMW editions to
analyse how the plans in the
Maritime Agenda 2020 are
being realised.
- Mr Gautam Chatterjee, IAS

Director General of Shipping

The timing of IMW is

such that it gives us an
opportunity to showcase
what has been done in the
Indian IWT. Interactions
at IMW will give us an
opportunity to ensure that
we get firm commitments
from shippers for movement
of cargo for long term and
bankers to fund this sector.
- Mr Amitabh Verma, IAS

Chairman, Inland Waterways

Authority of India (IWAI)

India Maritime Week should

provide the platform to take stock
of the targets reached in Maritime
Agenda 2020, and take steps to
realise more projects in the next
five years, said Shri Gautam
Chatterjee, Director General of
Shipping. IMW 2014 and the
editions thereafter till the year
2020 should focus on the Maritime
Agenda and continually do a reality
check, the DG said while chairing
the Advisory Council Meeting of
India Maritime Week in New Delhi
on December 5, 2013. In the runup to the second edition of India
Maritime Week to be held from
January 28 to February 1, 2014,
the DG said all the stakeholders in
the maritime industry would want
to find out the strong takeaways
from the first event that dwelled
on making India a maritime
destination, in tune with the
Maritime Agenda. Aptly themed

opined. A group of 20 Advisory
Council members of IMW 2014,
representing the diverse maritime
domains, assembled at the Le
Meridian Hotel to finetune the
issues and the sessions to be tabled
for the benefit of a cross-section
of maritime players both from
India and abroad. The Advisory
Council that comprises of business
association heads and head honchos
of ports, shipping and logistics
sectors had a brainstorming
session for 3 hours to bring out
the essence of the forthcoming
event through focused sessions,
workshops, trade forums and
round tables being planned during
the week-long event. The Council
expressed hope that the event, that
has been tailored to represent the
aspirations and the true nature of

As a FFFAI chairman, I will

be extremely happy to be

a benchmark conference to
show people how to develop

the maritime industry in India,

would be successful in bringing
together the fraternity from the
length and breadth of the country
to deliberate on the pressing issues
and work for a way forward.
Ramprasad, Editor-in-Chief and
Publisher of Maritime Gateway,
said IMW 2014 discussions would
be aligned with what has and has
not been achieved in the Maritime
Agenda. A status report on the
progress of the recommendations
made in the first edition of IMW
will be brought out. As the
event brings the industry and the
government together to interact,
flag out issues and understand
the dynamics of the industry and
its sub-sectors, IMW provides
the perfect platform for all the
maritime stakeholders to be heard
and seen, Ramprasad added.

IMW is a unique event

that provides the industry
an opportunity to come
together over a period of
five days, allowing more
than just traditional event
participation. Over the last
two years IMW has built
significant momentum and
is definitely one of the most
awaited industry forums.

ndia is the second largest exporter of agrocommodities in the world. To sustain the
momentum, the Government of Indias foreign
trade policy provides a 5 per cent export incentive
to increase export of agricultural commodities like
wheat, rice, vegetables, meat and marine products
besides other processed farm products. On the
other hand, import of pulses and edible oils like
palm is increasing owing to domestic shortage. To
facilitate trade of these commodities from India to
Europe and Intra-Asia, ports have started to create
state-of-the-art infrastructure such as dedicated
infrastructure like contamination-free berths,
warehouses and dedicated transit godowns with
railheads, mechanised cargo handling equipment
like mobile harbour cranes, pay loaders, excavators,
dumpers, weigh bridges, and road & rail connectivity
with the hinterland. With containerisation of
grains gaining ground, ports are now catering to
this sector through their container terminals. As
agro-commodity trade picks up, there is a need
to consider the port capacities and infrastructure
being created to cater to this market.

ail connectivity to the hinterland spurs

economic activity and is crucial for exim
trade. The existing rail logistics infrastructure is
unable to support the expected growth of freight.
With growing containerisation, rail-waterway
intermodal container transport system gains
further importance and the need arises for better
rail infrastructure and capacities, especially, in the
trade corridors across the country.
