IBO – 05 International Marketing Logistics Solved Assignment for 2019-20

Q3.) Shippers-shipowners consultation arrangements in India leave much scope for improvement.

Ans: In India, All India Shipper's Council, regional level shipper's associations, and concerned Government department like the Ministry of Commerce regularly consult shippers. The US Government does the same through provisions of FMC( Federal Maritime Commission), established under the Shipping Act, 1916.

Currently, there are five association at the regional level for resolving shipper's problems:

a.) Eastern India Shipper Association (EISA), headquartered in Kolkata.

b.) Western India Shipper Association(WISA), headquartered in Mumbai.

c.) Southern India Shipper Association(SISA), headquartered in Chennai.

d.) South Western India Shipper Association(SWISA), headquartered in Cochin.

e.) North India Shipper Association(NISA), headquartered in New Delhi.

Shippers-shipowners consultation in India leaves much scope for improvement. The statement is true considering the following aspects:

1.) The consulting arrangements have been found to have inadequate secretarial staff and meeting space. These associations largely depending chambers for meeting space and staff.

2.) There is a lack of adequate resources to organize seminars, conferences, workshops for creating awareness.

3.) Not all shippers represent themselves in the association, hence negotiations and decisions represent only a part of the consultation.

4.) The association has no representative on the Board of trustees of ports.

5.) They lack the expertise to present the cases scientifically and objectively.

6.) At times, Shippers and Chamber of Commerce approach authorities directly. This hampers the growth and repute of associations.
