Digitalization expected to transform the global shipping industry
The recently concluded Maritime Silk Road Port International Cooperation Forum in Ningbo City saw shipping industry experts from around the world discuss new ways to boost the efficiency of sea-based trade. Many believe that the way forward is by relying on the Digital Silk Road.
Chris Caplice, executive director of MIT Center for Transportation and Logistics, mentioned several emerging technologies that could bring transformation to port and shipping industries. Autonomous trucks, 3D printing, and block chain technology can make interactions between multiple trading partners more efficient, said Caplice.
With an estimated 80 percent of goods being shipped by sea each year, ports have long been a critical link in the global supply chain. However, industry experts are looking to speed things up by making use of AI technology and automating the large amount of processes that are typically done through manual labor. The hope is that a digital transformation can boost the efficiency of ports around the world.
Ma Shuo, vice president of World Maritime University confirmed the potential of digitalization. "The impact of digitalization is irreversible and long-term. If the port is to innovate, I think that digitalization should be an opportunity rather than a threat."
Though emerging technologies present great opportunities, industries need to overcome several challenges, such as transformations o the management structure, data protection, and approval from relevant governments. Building the "digital silk road" won't be easy, but experts believe that the benefits outweigh the risks.

WISTA International Welcomes WISTA Peru
The Women's International Shipping & Trading Association (WISTA) continues to expand in South America, welcoming WISTA Peru as the latest National WISTA Association. WISTA Peru is the second South American National WISTA Association to launch this year.
"We warmly welcome WISTA Peru to WISTA International. With the significance of Peru as a maritime center in South America, we're proud to add Peruvian female shipping professionals to our global network of members," said Despina Panayiotou Theodosiou, president of WISTA International. "There has been a lot of interest in creating new business relationships in South America."
"We are very pleased to have established WISTA Peru and be part of WISTA International. We are aware of the many challenges that we have to face in order to continue growing as professionals in our industry, but we are sure that being part of the WISTA International family will allow us to strengthen our role in the sector and share our best practices and lessons learned," said Miriam Sara Repetto, president of WISTA Peru.
WISTA Peru is led by WISTA Peru President Miriam Sara Repetto of Philippi Prietocarrizosa Ferrero DU & Uria; WISTA Peru Treasurer Kathya Castillo Trelles; and WISTA Peru Secretary Ximena Valenzuela Cabrera of Philippi Prietocarrizosa Ferrero DU & Uria.
Additional founding members of WISTA Peru include: Doris Eyzaguirre Coronado, Agency for Environmental Assessment and Enforcement (OEFA); Katherine Cruz Huayhua, Philippi Prietocarrizosa Ferrero DU & Uria; Marzia Gallo Lopez, DP World Callao; Rocio de Fatima Leon Chiri, National Port Authority; Maria Cristina Escalante Melchiors, National Port Authority; Roxana Jurado Tello, National Port Authority; Mariella Gutarra Ramos, National Port Authority, and Giovana Arellano Bocangel, National Port Authority.
WISTA Peru joins WISTA Uruguay, WISTA Argentina and WISTA Brazil in South America. Additional National WISTA Associations are expected to form in South America this year. WISTA International continues to grow in the region, thanks in large part to the work of WISTA members in the Americas. In addition to domestic events for networking and business development, National WISTA Associations often participate in regional and international WISTA Conferences. A WISTA Americas conference will take place June 18-20, 2018 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. WISTA Members from several countries are expected to attend the conference on "Facing the Challenges of the Shipping Industry." The next global WISTA International Annual General Meeting & Conference will be held in Tromso, Norway this October.
WISTA International is an international networking organization for female executives in the shipping industry. WISTA International is comprised of more than 40 National WISTA Associations (NWA) around the world and nearly 3,000 members. National WISTA Associations are formed in individual countries. To launch a national WISTA association, the association must file appropriate paperwork in the home country, have at least ten members in management positions and pay annual fees to WISTA International. In 2018, WISTA International has welcomed WISTA Japan, WISTA Uruguay, and WISTA Peru to the international network.

Ennore port expansion gets green nod
In a contentious move, an expert appraisal committee (EAC) of the Union Ministry of Environment and Forests has recommended granting of Environmental Clearance and CRZ clearance for the Phase-III expansion of the Kamarajar Port Ltd (KPL) in Ennore.
In a meeting last month, the EAC had recommended the clearance based on the draft Coastal Zone Management Plan (CZMP) 2018. However, environmental activists termed it illegal as a writ petition against the draft CZMP was pending in the Madras High Court.
Also, they said that a project cannot be recommended for clearance based on a 'wrong map', especially one that has not been notified by the Ministry. Although the EAC's recommendation for granting the clearance is subject to the final outcome of cases filed against the expansion at the National Green Tribunal, activists and lawyers say the decision itself is flawed.
"As per the CRZ notification, 2011, all proposals have to be evaluated as per the approved Coastal Zone Management Plan (CZMP) which, in this case, dates back to 1996. The new CZMP is only a draft and a recommendation based on a map that is not notified by the MoEF cannot be accepted as it is not factual," Pooja Kumar of Coastal Resource Centre, told.
"Until the new map is notified and approved, this recommendation is illegal. This is only a draft plan. You can't give clearance based on this map," said an environmental lawyer, who did not want to be named. "Also, whatever they have mentioned as river front activity, cannot be built there as per the CRZ notification, 2011," the lawyer added.
After the port management filed for EC and CRZ clearance for the Phase-III expansion of the port, the MoEF committee received a number of representations, following which a two-member sub-committee visited the site on January 5 and 6 this year. The sub-committee submitted its report in the meeting held in April.
The expansion proposals of KPL include an automobile export/import terminal, container terminal, bulk terminal, multi cargo berth and marine liquid terminal.
The minutes of the meeting of the EAC held in May, interestingly, referred to the draft CZMP multiple times. The sub-committee considered the "latest draft CZMP of Tamil Nadu Coastal Zone Management Authority for preparation of the report since there is substantial change in the coastal ecosystem".
The EAC, while recommending the project for clearance, too noted, "As per the latest map, no development zone shall be maintained 100 m on either side of the Kosasthalaiyar river".
Ms. Pooja said only parts of the sub-committee report were mentioned in the EAC report. "This report has not been made public. The fisherfolk in the region are demanding that the report be made public immediately and the report of the sub-committee be revisited," she said.
She questioned the hurry in recommending the project for clearance. "As per the original map, this is an inter-tidal zone and as per the 2011 notification, no development activities can happen in this zone," she said.

Sea ports reel under double-digit growth of oil demand
Sea ports are struggling to handle double-digit growth of oil demand in the country and they need befitting uplifts to reduce infrastructure deficit, industry officials said.
The officials said the ports are inadequately equipped to match a 33 percent annual growth of local oil industry. Oil imports have increased 32 percent in the past five years. Pakistan imported 18.1 million tons of petroleum products in 2013, which soared to 23.9 million tons in 2017. Approximately 20 cargoes are added up with an increase of every one million tons/annum, an import agent said.
