    Logistics performance as facilitator to trade performance: An Indian perspective
    (The International Maritime Transport and Logistics Conference "MARLOG 13", 2024-03-03) Dasgupta, Mrinal Kumar; Mitra, Toorban; Pattanaik, Krushna Mohan
    With the growing realisation of the importance of global integration in the production and consumption value chain, the importance of maritime logistics and transportation facilitating international trade is profoundly recognised. Further, a proliferation of collaborative trade agreements among different trade partners is ascribed to play a significant role. However, such external dynamics and engagements in international trade would propel blue economic growth if backed by strong maritime logistics initiatives and establishment. In this context, deep routed challenges, particularly in the domestic maritime logistics sector in manufacturing hubs like India, could potentially hamper her comparative advantages in international trade. It is in this context that this paper comes as an intercession by analysing India’s Logistics Performance Index (LPI) and its impact on trade performance. Also, this paper provides a comparative analysis of India’s LPI with that of other trade competitors from South and East Asia and tries to find out challenging areas of maritime logistics for India and suggest the required policy prescription thereof. Such acknowledgement is a compulsion for a country like India when escalated uncertainties due to episodes of COVID-19, the Russia-Ukraine War, and dips in the business cycles of many countries that demanded green and resilient supply chain and logistics practices. The paper prescribes that domestic reforms to ease out challenges in Indian maritime logistics coupled with external engagements would provide a flat form for India to reap the optimal gains from international trade.

    Sustainability issues, challenges in maritime transport and logistics industry in emerging markets: a case of India maritime industry
    (Indian Maritime University, Visakhapatnam, 2019) Ramalingeswara Rao, B. V.; Nageswara Rao, D.; Bhavana, Anirudh
    As for UNCTAD/RMT 2019 report emphasized that Global maritime trade expanded at a slower pace in 2018, while volumes reached 11 billion tons and volumes expanded at 2.7 per cent in 2018, down from 4.1 per cent in 2017. The slowdown was broad based and affected nearly all maritime transport cargo segments. It undermined global port cargo-handling activities are facing a serious issues and sustainability challenges in the field of shipping, port and maritime logistics, commonly known as the maritime transport and logistics industry. The aim of this paper is to analyse the sustainable issues and challenges in maritime industry to demand side and the new normal also entails some new trends on the supply side in emerging markets. Sustainability issues in maritime transport and logistics have been dealt with in the transportation and economic studies in Ports and shipping interests appear to be focusing more attention on expanding activities to inland logistics and tapping potential underlying sources of revenue Such developments call for improved planning, adequate response measures, and flexible and forward-looking transport policies that anticipate change, particularly relating to shipping, port, and maritime logistics, and identify and discuss the key topics emerging in sustainability in the industry. It will contribute to increasing industry stakeholders’ understanding of the current situation in sustainability, assist them in the design of appropriate managerial insights and help them develop appropriate sustainability policies for the industry.
