PORTS

ASIA: The Port of Rotterdam advises the Indian Ports Association.

The Port of Rotterdam was commissioned about a year ago by the Indian Ports Association to offer strategic advice to the major Indian ports.

Their key recommendations were the delegation of power downwards from the Ministry of Shipping to the individual ports and from senior management to executives within organisations.

The report also suggested that investment in mechanised cargo handling rather than increasing the number of berths would lead to economic efficiencies.

Further recommendations were for increased outsourcing and the development of transport connectivity's which would facilitate the offer of total transport solutions to clients.
