Maritime Anti-Corruption Network Launches Landmark Port Integrity Campaign in Indian Ports
With the support of the Government of India, the Maritime Anti-Corruption Network (MACN)-a global business network of over 110 companies working together to tackle corruption in the maritime industry-today announces the launch of a groundbreaking Port Integrity Campaign in India.
The campaign, which aims to reduce and (in the long term) eliminate integrity issues and bottlenecks to trade during operations in Indian ports, is a collective action of MACN, the Government of India, international organizations, and local industry stakeholders. The pilot of the campaign will take place in Mumbai ports (MbPT and JNPT) and will run until October this year.
Key activities of the campaign include the implementation of integrity training for port officials and the establishment of clear escalation and reporting processes. Following the pilot, MACN aims to expand the program to other Indian ports.
Cecilia Müller Torbrand, Executive Director, MACN, says: "MACN s experiences in locations including Nigeria, the Suez Canal, and Argentina show us that real change is possible when all parties are engaged. That’s why we are delighted to have the support of so many key stakeholders for this Campaign to improve the operating environment in Indian ports."
The Port Integrity Campaign has been made possible by strong commitment from the Indian Government to work with the private sector and to address integrity issues in Indian ports.
The Ministry of Shipping, India, stated: "We are committed to ensuring that vessels calling port in India do not face unnecessary obstacles or illicit demands. Tackling these issues is good for the shipping industry, for port workers, and for India as a trade destination. We are pleased to be joining forces with MACN and other stakeholders to implement concrete actions with the potential for real impact."
The MACN Port Integrity Campaign is also supported by: the United Nations Global Compact Network India (UNGCNI), the World Customs Organization (WCO), the Indian Customs and Central Excise, the Directorate General of Shipping India, the Indian Ports Association (IPA), the Indian Private Ports and Terminals Association (IPPTA), the Maritime Association of Nationwide Shipping Agencies India (MANSA), the Indian Shipowner s Association (INSA), the Container Shipping Lines Association (CSLA), the Federation Of Indian Logistics Associations (FILA), the Danish Embassy, and the Norwegian Consulate General.

Indian Port capacity augmentation top on govt agenda: Survey
Terming port development crucial for economy, the Economic Survey 2018-19 Thursday said the government has accorded topmost priority for capacity augmentation of the sector through initiatives like Sagarmala.
Ports handle around 90 per cent of EXIM Cargo by volume and 70 per cent by value.
"Port sector development is very crucial for the development of any economy…In order to meet the ever increasing trade requirements, expansion of Port Capacity has been accorded the highest priority with implementation of well-conceived infrastructure development projects like sagarmala, project Unnati etc," the Economic Survey, tabled by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in Parliament, said.
As per the Port Performance Benchmarking & Performance Index published by Logistics Data Bank for February, 2019, Gateway Terminals India is in the top performing category and International Container Transhipment Terminal, Kochi in the low performing category, the survey said.
Towards facilitating Ease of Doing Business, the shipping ministry has identified various parameters for reducing dwell time and transaction costs at the major ports, which include elimination of manual forms, accommodation for laboratories to participating government agencies, direct port delivery, installation of container scanners, e-delivery orders, radio frequency identification-based gate-automation System, etc, it added.
These initiatives have already been implemented at Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust and are being taken up at other major ports, the survey pointed out.
Stressing that "shipping plays a pivotal role in India’s trade dynamics", it said, "As on January 31, 2019, India had a fleet strength of 1,405 ships with dead weight tonnage (DWT) of 19.22 million (12.74 million GT) including Indian controlled tonnage, with Shipping Corporation of India (SCI) having the largest share of around 30.52 per cent. Of this, around 458 ships of 17.58 million DWT (11.26 million GT) cater to India’s overseas trade and the rest to coastal trade".
India had a fleet strength of 1,400 vessels with gross registered tonnage (GRT) of 12.68 million in 2018, as compared to fleet strength of 1,371 vessels with 12.35 million GRT at the end of December 2017.
About the Inland Water Transport, the survey said India s first inland waterway multimodal terminal (MMT) at Varanasi was inaugurated in November last year by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the first container consignment on Ganga, which had sailed from Kolkata, was received at Varanasi MMT on the same day.
"The main focus of MMT is to promote inland waterways as it is cheap and environment friendly. To enhance the access and establish alternative connectivity to the North East through Indo-Bangladesh Protocol route, dredging works between Ashuganj and Zakiganj, and Sirajganj and Daikhawa in Bangladesh through 80:20 sharing (80 per cent by India and 20 per cent by Bangladesh) have been awarded," it said.
In October 2018, a Standard Operating Procedure of MoU on Passenger and Cruise service on the Coastal and Protocol routes between India and Bangladesh has been signed to enhance bilateral movement of passengers /tourists.
The cargo traffic on National Waterways was 55 million tonnes in 2017-18 and has increased by 31 per cent in 2018-19.

Construction work begins for second phase of Tuas port
Construction work on the second phase of the Tuas mega port began yesterday with the installation of the first concrete structure for the wharf.
A total of 227 concrete structures or caissons, each weighing 13,000 tonnes, will be installed over the next eight years to construct the wharf, the largest in the mega port.
Almost 400ha of land will be reclaimed for the second phase, which will have 21 container berths and be able to handle 21 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) of cargo annually.
In April, the last of 221 caissons for the first phase of the mega-port project was installed.
Last year, a consortium of three companies - Penta Ocean Construction, Hyundai Engineering & Construction and Boskalis International - won a $1.46 billion contract to develop the second phase of the Tuas port.
Speaking at an event marking the installation of the caisson yesterday, Senior Minister of State for Transport Lam Pin Min noted the innovative methods being used in the construction of the second phase.
These include the use of prefabricated steel bars for the base slab of the caisson, which reduces the need for construction and assembly on-site as well as improves safety for those working under the steel bars.
"These innovative construction methods helped boost efficiency and productivity of the whole process," said Dr Lam, who is also Senior Minister of State for Health.
He added that drones may also be used to carry out surveys of the reclaimed land, reducing the need for labour-intensive manual surveying works.
He also announced that the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore s (MPA) current fleet of patrol vessels will be replaced by seven new patrol craft over the next three years.
The new craft will have enhanced navigation, surveillance and response capabilities to handle incidents that involve search-and-rescue operations or oil spills.
The first six vessels will be commissioned in February next year, while the seventh, larger vessel will be introduced by the first quarter of 2021.
The MPA will also add two patrol launches to its fleet. These passenger craft will enhance the safety of the authority’s surveyors as they conduct ship inspections.
Dr Lam also noted that as part of the digitalisation of Singapore s port, the first phase of the MPA’s Maritime Single Window - a portal aimed at streamlining the processes of various agencies and easing port clearance for ships - will be launched by the end of this year.
Electronic navigation services are also being developed to allow for "seamless information exchange among port players", he added.
The MPA noted that the Tuas port will be digitally connected to the wider supply chain network - made up of vessels, cargo owners and logistics providers - improving efficiency and allowing the flow of cargo to be coordinated in a "secure and intelligent manner".
When the new Tuas port is fully operational in the 2040s, it will replace existing facilities in Tanjong Pagar, Pasir Panjang, Keppel and Pulau Brani, and is expected to eventually handle some 65 million TEUs of cargo a year.
The relocation of the port to Tuas is something that will benefit industry, noted Dr Lam.
"The proximity of Tuas Terminal to the industrial hinterland and the shipyards forms a more integrated supply chain ecosystem," he said.
"This could reduce logistics cost and make new opportunities for synergistic port-industry activities. The possibilities are immense."

Ship detained in Leith port over unpaid wages
A cargo ship has been detained in Leith port in Edinburgh for non-payment of wages to Russian sailors on board.
The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) confirmed it had found "several deficiencies" with the Cook Islands-flagged Alexander Tvardovskiy.
The vessel was also missing valid international safety management (ISM) and ship security (ISSC) certificates.
It will remain in Leith "until the seafarers wages are paid and other identified deficiencies are rectified".
An MCA statement added: "The MCA is working closely with the owner and the ship s master to address the various issues raised by the inspection.
"The vessel will not be allowed to sail until the MCA has re-inspected the vessel and is satisfied that the deficiencies have been rectified."
It is not the first time the Alexander Tvardovskiy, which was formerly flagged in Russia, has encountered trouble in UK waters.
In August 2012 the 90m-long ship collided with dredger UKD Bluefin and another general cargo vessel, Wilson Hawk, off Immingham in North East Lincolnshire.
