A comparative analysis between smart warehousing and traditional warehousing
(Indian Maritime University, 2023) Moni, Anchita; Ghosh, Riya
Warehousing is regarded as the most important component of supply chain management because to its commitment and capacity to establish seamless and effective logistic operations. While logistic costs are regarded as an essential component of the overall production costs, organisations and such operations are crucial in defining a company& competitiveness. Numerous businesses are thinking about how to operate their warehouses cost-effectively and efficiently, especially in light of recent advancements in supply chain and logistics technology. Warehousing is the act of taking on the duty of storing finished items, raw materials, work in progress, and spare components. The concept of warehousing is the process of arranging and managing everything in the warehouse to make sure everything functions as efficiently as possible. In addition, maintaining the proper items, managing new stock entering the facility, packaging and shipping orders, tracking and improving overall storage, and arranging for dispatching finished goods to end customers are the key actions and responsibilities of having a warehouse. Hence, warehousing is essential to ensuring that the desired goods are kept until they are delivered to clients, which is what any organisation wants most of all. Moreover, the changes in operations and processes of warehouses should cover every activity in warehousing which includes Receiving, Storage, Replenish, pick upon, shipping, cross dock, and value-added logistics. The warehouse is built to fit into a space where the amount of accessible surface area is limited and to meet all needs for daily operations in the warehouse. The most crucial elements of the warehouse& layout are constructed to meet the following requirements: Loading and unloading zones, a reception area for new receipts, a storage zone for items, a picking zone for assembly, and a delivery dispatch zone. The warehouse was constructed by the business to maximise efficiency and space utilisation. By making the most of the space that is available, minimising the handling of goods, facilitating simple access to the stored goods, and achieving the highest rotation ratio are all desirable. Docks, picking storage, and racking systems for storing goods are some of the features used in the plan to facilitate the smooth inbound and outflow of supplies. In addition, there is the given the size of the warehouse, the building& ability to accommodate the number of pallets that can be arranged on the racking system there. The warehouse has open storage spaces and three docks for loading and unloading cargo. The operators collect or transport the necessary commodities from/to their storage area as the delivery or pickup trucks and RMs arrive at one of the loadings /unloading ports. The inspector & responsibility is to examine all incoming and outgoing merchandise for quality, quantity, packing, and invoicing. On the other hand, the Inventory Encoder & responsibility is to update inventories into the system in both cases—in and out. Also, forklift operators are knowledgeable about how to control the handling procedure and where to store the items, which are typically located closer to the docks.

Here I have done various researches including major functions of the warehouses and how did the transformation take place from manual to smart warehousing. Efficiency of smart warehouses and how it has a huge impact on the industry. Primary research consists of the followings: a basic idea about smart warehouse, discriminatory factors between smart and manual warehouse, the main reasons for transformation from manual to smart warehouse and the main factors impacting the efficiency of smart warehouse.

A comparative analysis of the financial strength of major ports on the east coast of India
(Indian Maritime University, 2025-05-27) Kaluram, Gavit Aarkit
This study conducts a comprehensive comparative analysis of the financial strength of six major ports on India's East Coast—Chennai Port, Kamarajar Port, V.O. Chidambaranar (Tuticorin) Port, Visakhapatnam Port, Paradip Port, and Kolkata (Syama Prasad Mookerjee) Port—from the financial years 2019 to 2024. Given the strategic importance of these ports in India’s maritime trade and regional economic development, the study evaluates their financial and operational performance using a range of quantitative indicators. These include Current Liabilities, Total Assets, Investments, Operating Income, and Operating Expenditure.

A comprehensive study on Indian dry bulk shipping market
(Indian Maritime University, 2025-05-27) Raman, Kartik
The dry bulk shipping industry is essential to promoting international trade and bolstering India's economic development, especially in areas like agriculture, steel, and electricity. By examining important commodities like coal, iron ore, and grains as well as vessel classifications like Capesize, Panamax and Handymax, this study investigates the dynamics of the dry bulk shipping business in India. The study explores market patterns, freight rate volatility, infrastructural capacity, environmental laws, and geopolitical factors. Using secondary data from industry reports and scholarly literature, the study evaluates how macroeconomic uncertainty, overcapacity and changes in fuel prices affect freight traffic. Along with an examination of important Indian ports like Paradip and Visakhapatnam, particular attention is paid to how China and India influence world demand. The study also looks at how technology developments and decarbonization initiatives affect operational effectiveness. It concludes with strategic insights and provides business and policy recommendations to improve India's competitiveness in the global dry bulk market through sustainable shipping methods, regulatory reforms and infrastructure development.

A critical analysis of maritime accidents with reference to global perspective
(Indian Maritime University, 2025-05-27) Abhishek Nandkishor, Paitode
Marine accidents still pose grave threats to life, property, and the environment, despite continuing developments in maritime safety and technology. This thesis is a systematic examination of ten chosen marine accidents that were on fire, collision, grounding, experienced onboard accidents, and sinking. The general aim of this study is to identify the human and systemic causes underlying these incidents. For this purpose, the Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (HFACS) and SHEL (Software, Hardware, Environment, and Liveware) model have been utilized as the analytical frameworks. The HFACS model allowed a systematic examination of human errors on various levels, whereas the SHEL model supported the detection of interaction mismatches between human operators and system components.
