Report outlines strong cruise industry prospectsManuel Costabal
The report forecasts strong growth in the global cruise industry from 2012 to 2025, with passenger demand expected to increase from 20.9 million to 36.4 million. While North America will still dominate as the largest source market, Europe and Asia are anticipated to experience robust growth. This expansion will have major implications for cruise capacity, port development, ship construction, and ship repair. The cruise industry is projected to require 866,000 berths by 2025, necessitating the construction of 5 additional ships in 2014 increasing to 9-13 per year through 2025, representing over $100 billion in new investments.
The Indian shipping industry has grown significantly since independence in 1947. The number of vessels increased from 59 to 1204 from 1947 to 2014, a 1940.7% increase. Total gross registered tonnage grew from 192 tonnes to 10,309 tonnes over this period, a 5269% increase. The industry also experienced steady growth in gross registered tonnage between 1951 and 2014. However, India only accounts for 1.09% of the world's total deadweight tonnage, ranking 18th globally. Key challenges facing the industry include a lack of infrastructure development and lucrative government schemes to support coastal shipping.
This document discusses coastal shipping in India. It aims to analyze factors retarding coastal shipping's growth, policies promoting it, market trends, and forecasts. Coastal shipping accounts for only 6-7% of domestic cargo movement. Major advantages include cost savings, reduced pollution, and congestion relief. However, factors like high handling costs, taxes, and competition from roads and rails have slowed growth. The document recommends tax concessions, simplified procedures, and integrated transport policies to promote coastal shipping in India.

The History and Development of Aviation in the State of Kuwaittheijes
The document summarizes the history and development of aviation in Kuwait. It discusses how Kuwait opened its first airport in the 1920s and established its first national carrier, Kuwait National Airways, in 1954. As aviation grew, Kuwait established the Kuwait Civil Aviation Department in 1956 and became a signatory to the International Civil Aviation Organization in 1960. The aviation industry continued expanding through the latter half of the 20th century. Currently, Kuwait is working to upgrade its airport and increase capacity to accommodate over 25 million passengers annually to keep up with rising demand. Privatizing Kuwait Airways is seen as a way to attract more investment to further develop the aviation industry.
This document discusses the state of the Port of Miami in 1997. It notes that international trade was the number one industry in Miami, providing 50,000 jobs and $7.1 billion in economic impact. Cargo volumes were increasing and surpassing national averages. The port was establishing itself as a hemispheric trade hub, with the majority of its cargo coming from South and Central America. It was also working to expand infrastructure to accommodate larger ships and increasing volumes. The cruise industry was also growing, with two of the three major cruise lines based in Miami. Plans were outlined to redevelop midtown Miami around a performing arts center, world trade center, maritime park, and sports arena to generate over 48,000 jobs and $
The document discusses the functions of merchant ships and their role in international trade. It notes that merchant ships were important for transport in the 19th century and different types of cargo ships later developed for specific goods like oil, timber, and cement. Shipping remains the cheapest form of transport for large cargo quantities and is critical for international trade, nation building, and domestic trade in island countries. Various factors influence world trade, including economic resources, market conditions, political frameworks, technological development, and financial situations between countries.
Vietnam has an infrastructure problem, especially regarding its ports. Its current ports are too small and shallow to effectively handle economic opportunities. Expanding and renovating Vietnam's ports could have significant economic and political impacts. It would reduce shipping costs for Vietnamese exports, attract foreign investment, and allow Vietnam to enter new markets like oil exports and regional transshipment. However, there are concerns about how renovation funds will be spent given a history of corruption. The project also risks widening economic disparities between northern and southern Vietnam.

The global economic outlook is characterized by weak growth and great uncertainty, according to experts interviewed for the Maritime Outlook Report. Historically low interest rates and declining commodity prices indicate weakened international economic strength. Leading nations have nearly exhausted their fiscal and monetary options, and China is transitioning to slower but more sustainable growth. Geopolitically, the security landscape is becoming more challenging as civil wars rage in parts of the Middle East and North Africa. However, the Paris climate agreement offers hope for increased international cooperation. Shipping will play a role in reducing emissions through more efficient operations and new technologies. The decline in offshore activity on the Norwegian Continental Shelf poses challenges for Norway's maritime industry and economy.

AN APPRAISAL OF PORT CONCESSIONS IN NIGERIA AND ITS ROLE IN ACHIEVING THE MAR...Francisca Tanimojo
This document provides an overview of port concessions in Nigeria and their role in achieving the country's maritime potential. Some key points:
- Nigeria has a large coastline but its maritime industry has not fully capitalized on this asset. Port concessions were introduced as part of reforms to modernize ports and increase efficiency.
- Major ports in Nigeria were concessioned beginning in 2006, with over 25 concessions granted. The flagship concession was the 25-year contract for Apapa Container Terminal granted to APM Terminals.
- Other countries in Africa and globally also utilize port concessions. Examples discussed include Tanzania granting a concession to TICTS for its Dar es Salaam container terminal, and landlord port models used in
The global shipbuilding industry has grown significantly over the past few years, with output increasing at an annual rate of 8.3% between 2000-2005. Demand is high and order books are full for shipyards for the next 3 years. The industry is dominated by conventional vessels like tankers, bulk carriers, and container ships. Major players are located in Japan, South Korea, and China, which together account for over 70% of the world's shipbuilding output. The Indian shipbuilding industry is also growing and expected to reach $1.3 billion by 2015, though it still only accounts for 1% of the global industry currently.

Market Outlook
Key Points of the Global Maritime Industry
1. Asia Pacific is expected to be the largest due to China and India growth (*)
2. Navigation services are expected to be in the highest demand among services
3. Container handling should emerge as leading market by value
4. Commodity shipping is decreasing in value due to drops in prices
5. Increased shipping data should help shipping companies
6. Massive global demographic shifts should impact shipping
1. Emerging middle class
2. Technologyincreases – maritime services should embrace new technology to attract young professionals
7. China is projected to be the largest maritime market by 2030
8. China and emerging countries should expect the most growth in shipbuilding and deliveries (*)
9. Oil and natural gas is expected to account for 60% of the global demand for energy in 2030 (**)
1. Big opportunities for companies in the offshore oil and gas and renewable energy industries
10. Offshore oilproductions are expecting to grow -37% by 2018, up from 35% in 2010 driven by contribution from Deepwater (>600 feet)
11. Global Deepwater Capex is forecasting to reach $65 billion by 2016 indicating a CAGR of ~25%
12. Deep water activity is mainly carried out in the “Golden Triangle “(West Africa, US Gulf and Brazil)
(*) Commercial shipping, fleet ownership and shipbuilding
The volume of seaborne trade will double from nine billion tonnes per annum to somewhere between 9 and 24bn tonnes by 2030.
China will play a key role in 2030 as the emerging maritime superpower in shipping. China will see the largest growth in comm ercial
fleet ownership, rivalling Greece and the rest of the European countries combined. China will become the world’s primary maritime
market, leading in seaborne trade, shipbuilding and vertically integrated ownership and ship management. The economic
development of India follows closelybehind China, and it is expected to become a giant driver of global trade in an order of magnitude
similar to China.
The total deliveries of bulk carriers, tankers, LNG carriers and container ships across the world will remain at around 2010 levels.
China and emerging countries will determine the shipbuilding market landscape in 2030. Japan and South Korea, however, will lose
their market share. South Korea’s market share will fall and Japan will play a rapidly declining role in shipbuilding when compared
with the market leaders. The number of deliveries from the emerging countries will increase: Vietnam, Brazil, India, and Philippines
could be the leaders. Brazil and India will see the largest percentage increase, while Vietnam will gain the largest volume.
(**) Offshore Energy
Oil and natural gas is expected to account for 60% of global demand for energy in 2030. Advances in technology, underpinned by innovation,
research and development will be the keys to meeting the growing demand for energy from more diverse sources. The number of offshore
platforms and renewable energy devices required to meet global demand will grow significantly. This indicates growing challenge s and
opportunities to produce offshore oil and gas, and offshore renewable energy. There will be tremendous growth opportunities for participants
in the offshore oil and gas and renewable industries
Key Points of the Nigeria Maritime Industry
1. The maritime industry is a key part of the growth of the economy
2. Nigeria’s oil production is expected to double by 2016 to 4 million barrels a day – 5th largest producer of oil after Russia
3. Dangerous ports and waters cause fear in shipping companies
a. Rise in private security companies
b. Increase in legislation/safety would help bring more trade to Nigeria/Africa
4. Inefficient ports also decrease traffic
a. Bad burocracy

5. “There are examples of African attempts and investments in developing the maritime sector, such as the Memorandum of Understa nding
signed byNigeria and South Africa accordingto whichDurban-based SouthernAfricanShipyards (SAS)will finance the development ofmodern
shipyards in Nigeria and operate them with Nigerian labour and local content as much as feasible. The agreement also includes the
establishment of maritime engineering technology transfer program from South Africa to Nigeria. Simultaneously the Nigerian G overnment
has revealedplans to revive the Nigerianmaritime sector bybuilding a new shipyard withprivate sector participation (Ventures Africa 2013).
In addition to generatingemployment and economic growth to the country, the project is expectedto provide increasedtraining possibilities
for the cadets of the Maritime Academy of Nigeria (MAN) which already utilizes the country’s great labour pool in educating seafarers and

Marketing Plan
In mypoint of view, inorder to write a marketingplan, we need first to have clear inmindthe difference betweensales and revenues.
Sales and revenuesare related but different goals, and eachneeds its ownstrategy. Althoughthe tactics for eachmight be different, theyshould
complement each other. Understandinghowsales andrevenue are relatedandhowto balance the needto increase bothhelps marketingefficiently
and optimization ofprofits.
Sales vs.Revenues
The words “sales,” “revenue” and “income” have different meanings, andbecome confusing if usedas synonyms.
“sales” refers to the number of units of your product you sell
“revenues” refers to the total amount moneyyour sales generate
“income” refers to your profit from those sales.
We shouldkeep these inmind when planningsales strategiesto strike the right balance for the business’s needs.
Understand what the Company is selling
It might sound funnyto askwhat a Freight andForwarding Companyis selling but most salespeople andMarketingManagers inF reight & Forwarding
Companies poorlyapproaches clients.
Does a Freight & Forwardingcompanysell "freight?” No.
Does a Freight & Forwardingcompanysell "transportation?” No.
A Freight andForwarder companysells:
Organization
Consolidation
Coordination
Increase the Marketing
A solid wayto increasesales is to boost the market. Quantitydoesn’t necessarilymeanquality, so careful planning, test-marketing and monitoringthe
results maximizessales.
Even if there are fairlycompetent sales personnel, organizationmaybe handicappedinenhancing sales figures. This is because manysalespersonnel
employanoutdatedselling technique. For better market penetrationandto boost companysales teams shouldimplement a new, better selling
technique, suchas what follows;
Marketplace researchshould be in place to learn which messagesspeakto the company’s target audience. (Targets include shipping companies
like Bourbon Interoil/Edison Cheust/Tankers Owners as well as Oil & Gas companies like Shell/Total/Mobil/CNL and more)
Investigate the market reputation, financial position, businessvolume, and topandrelevant management for the targetedpotentialnew
customers mastering the 80/20 principle
Phone calls and/or in-personmeetings withpotentialclients must be prepared ina more scientific and analytical way
Monitoring andevaluatinganysales calls and/or meetings, andmaintaincomprehensive statistics to learnas much as possible about the target
market
Run ads and promotions inlimitedlocations and checkthe results before spending the entire budget
Incorporate processes to monitor marketing communications, such as electronic codes or website traffic statistics.
Employthe viral marketingattempts to reachcurrent customers andnewcustomers. (Viral marketing is a p romotion that encouragespeopleto
share a message with others, passing it from personto personmuchlike a virus spreads)
Offer giveaways of companyservices
Review Company Pricing Strategies
If the company’s service is price sensitive, special attentionshouldbe paid to pricing strategies. Find out what the competition is charging andraise or
lower companyprices based oncompanygoals.
Here’s three pricingscenarios:
5. Page 5 of 12
Prepared By Giorgio Enrico Del Celo
1. Lowering prices canincrease revenuesto make upfor lower margins.
2. Raisingprices cancreate a higher perceived value inthe minds of consumers andincrease margins.
3. Raisingprices canincrease your revenues without necessitating anincrease in sales.
It is verycrucial, however, to research the credit positionof the customer(s) in order to negotiate the right credit terms as per companyri sk
management policy. Also it is veryimportant to evaluate the servicesrenderedto the particular client. Are we giving them a 4PL service or just a
custom clearing service or a procurement or a delivery of spare?
Expand Company Distribution Channels
Changing and/or implementing where andhow the companysells products can significantlyboost salesandrevenues without requiringanyparticular
changes to the marketingor pricing. After a careful studyof the effects ofusing online selling (one example is FlexPort, an USA-basedcompany), direct
mail, andoutside sales reps (virtual assistant and/or outside partnership, etc) to project howeachmethodcanaffect your sales volumes, profit
margins andtotal profits. Insome cases, newdistribution channels require marketingsupport.
Diversify Offerings
For a mature companyas wellas a growingone, it might be time to addnew servicesto create exponential growth. Determine what products target
customers needthat the companydoes not currentlyoffer andsee if those are appropriate andprofitable services to add. Organizationalprocesses
might need to be refined or overhauled, or it maybe necessaryto combine oldproducts withnew ones.
This might initiallyresult ina decrease insales, but revenuesshouldbe higher if newservices/products cost more per sale.
Develop Relationships
"Everybody in the Company is a Marketing Manager”
Though salesare the responsibilityof the Sales & Marketing department, it is vitalthat everyone withinthe organization make an effort to generate
sales leads throughpersonal acquaintances. The more people that promote the service, the more potential sales andrevenue anorganizationcanget.
Every individual shouldmake at least four sales calls ona dailybasisto generate a minimum of five leads ina weekanda m inimum of25 target
customers in a year.
Above andbeyondvisiting the existing clients ona regular basis, there must be a minimum number of newpotentialclients to be visited.

Strategic Plan
It is important to highlight that the best strategyis one that will set the business apart fromits competitors. While there's no magic formulafor sucha
strategy, there are keyfactors that will helpto determine what the strategyshouldbe. We need to know exactlywho the customers or target prospects
are, where they are located, what they want and need, and why, how, and when they need it.
Strategy will be fully implemented only when we are absolutely sure that our unique selling proposition is right.
Market conditions change at bewilderingspeed, because oftechnology, customers'tastes, fashions, trends, media influences, andsoon. If we want our
business to survive in the 21st century, we cannot standstill. What is unique todaybeingwidespreadtomorrow, andunwanted the dayafter that. The
vital ingredient ina trulydynamic marketing strategyis to strive continuallyto discover new andbetter ways to addvalue for customers, andkeepthe
proposition unique in the chosen market.
Nigeria has a total of elevenports and eight oilterminals organised inthree zones of Western, CentralandEastern. The central zone withits headquarters
in Warri and the Eastern zone with its headquarters in Port Harcourt are predominantly oil terminals, although Warri, Sapele, Koko, Port Harcourt,
Calabar and the Federal ocean terminal are not to be overlooked.
The new ocean port under construction in Lekki Free Zone and expected to be ready by 2019 , is a reality that need to be taken into serious business
consideration.
The importance ofthe seaports is attestedto bythe fact that approximately, 99% byvolume ofNigeria total imports andexports are sea-borne. Nigerian
ports control 60% of imports inWest and Central Africa. The seaports provide anoverwhelming economic advantage over all other modes oftransport
consideringthe huge tonnage ofgoods that can be carriedover longdistances. The ports have contributedto regionaleconomic integrationinthe West
African sub-region and have served as the major determinant of how economic activities are distributed. The maritime industry is a major long term
determinant of national growth.
Plans for marketing penetration:
Clearing & Forwarding sector
According to Nigeria’s National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), imports from Asia accounted for 44.6 percent of Nigeria’s imports in 2015, while
imports from Europe and the Americas accounted for 33.6 percent and 14.1 percent, respectively.
Basedon revealed figures it is clear that a successful freight companyshouldseeknew clients within the Clearing andForwarding industry, such
as;
o Dangote
o Siemens
o Schneider
o Coscharis Group
o John Holt
Preferences of the above are to work with Freight and Forwarding Companies who can guarantee a full services package like D2D or 4PL services.
Strategy:
Pursue a partnership with international F&F (*)
Offer a FULL 4PL service including the procurement, pick pack, tracking, consolidations & de-consolidation, importation(sea andair
(**) and clearance through the Bonded warehouse and/or Terminal (***)
Creation of an online tracking system
Offer a Form M processing service
Guarantee deliveries withina specified time frame – 5 workingdays fromthe arrivalof the container at the port or 3 workingdays
for the goods arriving via air
Delivery to final destination using own equipment – trucks and/or pick up depending on the cargo size
Time frame: Minimum of 6/8 months to:
Set-up and streamline all the possible partnerships
Set-up the tracking and Form M processing service
(*) The ideal Partnershipshould be the one withWWF&F agents (DHL / Panalpina /DBSchenker/ Khunel&Nagel, etc.) which unfortunatelyalready
have local agents. We therefore needto concentrate on the F&F agents basedinthe countries that are importing into Nigeria, China (with a huge
number of F&F (249) to deal with), USA (where we can use our partner’s help in the search, India, UAE and more.
(***) It is possible to use a third-partybondedwarehouse for now, but clients might be lost andservice low. It is vital to have our own bonded
warehouse, in a secure, safe area close to the port terminals.

(Bonded) Warehouse
Warehouse are developinginreactionto changes in the supplychain, market conditions andcustomer expectations. Warehouses are a critical
function that is frequentlyoverlooked, yet the benefits fromeffective control andadministration canbe substantial. An efficientlymanaged
warehouse is the core ofa successfullyrun business. Some companies choose to buildandmaintaintheir ownspace while the most popular
optionis for a fullyservicedspace. Benefit are lower capital investment, guaranteedperiod of service andreliability.
For example, a warehouse withspecialized labor force, facilityand standard operating procedure designedto the Clients operationwill ensures
an abundance of resources as the Client doesn’t have to share labors, equipment, dock doors or floor space …
Warehouse management servicescanbe of different nature and withdifferent partners. A Bondedwarehouse, while becoming anNVOCC(Non
Vessel Owners CargoCarrier) agents will definitelybe anasset.
There are manyof them whom are interesting to have agreement witha local freight & Forwarder agents andNVOCCagents. Panda / Team

Strategy:
I. Rent of warehouse of a minimum2/3000 sq.
II. Organized warehouse with
NCS permits

WMS (Warehouse Management System)
Selective pallet / goods racking
Pallets / Cartons flow system
MaterialHandlingsystem
Office(s) for:Customs Officers (BW) /Private Clearing Agents (BW)/ Companypersonnel

III. Register the companyas NVOCC
IV. Seal agreement with abroadconsolidator whoare exportinginto Nigeria
Exportation
8. Page 8 of 12
Prepared By Giorgio Enrico Del Celo
ExportationinNigeriais a serious realityandgrowing. Everybodyis “thinking” that exportation means Oil but that is not completelytrue.
There are so manyother commodities that are regularlyexporter (see charts). Not allthese commoditiesare complete a vessel andexporter
are lookingfor aneconomical wayto export.
The idea is to offer a consolidation service
for exportation.
An accurate marketing investigationcan
easilyreveal that manyexporters will be
pleased to load basedon LCL instead to wait
to have the full cargoto justifythe use ofa
full container.
The major strategyis to associate witha WW
F&F with a major hubpoint where cando the

final destination.
Use of warehouse to consolidate cargoes, a
(continue)marketing campaign via media

Offshore Activity/Brokerage/Vessel Chartering to Oil & Gas Companies
The offshore market is basicallydominatedby3 major clients;
Total with22%
ExxonMobil with 19%
Chevron with14%
Closelyfollowed byothers such as BP, Eni, Shell, Saipem, Addax and more.
The total fleet is split within 3 major players:
Tidewater 27%
Bourbon18%
Sarko Line 8%
Notwithstanding what looks like a “private niche” that still has room for new fresh members. However, hiring of OSV, PSV and AHTS in this niche
is done mainly via tender for long-term charters.
Strategy:

Operating Expenses-
Marketing and Promotion-Start conservative with a budget of15Kgrowing 4% annually, 4% growthon most all the operating expenses as that is the
average cost of
living/inflation% to allocate anannual increase onexpenses and wages. Knowing that the PSV will likelybe under contract the majorityof the time it is
in service anda
bonded warehouse is simplyeither close to a port or inanarea where there is a high demand or needfor the service. Therefore, this is not a business
model that requires
a large budget for Marketing andAdvertising.
Warehouse-(Dressing/Bonded)- 65Kyear1, then32500, and35000 in the following years.
Legal and Accounting-These cost will mostlybe allocatedto the warehouse side of revenue. There willbe some legal andaccounting costs, more so
legal at the beginning
stages ofgetting everythinginaccordance withthe rules and regulations put forth bythe CBPandthe accounting will be an ongoing cost for both
sources of revenue in the business.
Licenses and Permits-There will be manylicensesandpermits neededfor not onlythe warehouse but alsothe PSV operations. These will be on
average 10-12K/annually, the proforma reflects a cost of 12,500 withthe standard4% increase being conservative knowingthat at anytime newrules
and or regulations could be passedrequiring excesslicensingor permits that come with a fee
CBP Reimbursement and Fees-these are costs that are associated withstrictlythe warehouse operation. Customs hasmanyfeesthat the warehouse
operator has to pay
to remain incompliance withtheir policies whichis where this figure comes from.
Equipment and Maintenance- Standard withanybusiness, especiallywithoperatinga PSV vessel. The industryaverage on maintenance costs to
operate a vessel were 8-
10K/annuallywith an additionfor anycosts associated withthe warehouse whichis where the 15Kfigure comes from.
Unanticipated Expenses-unknown….but always goodto allocate a percentage ofthe total operating expenses for the unknown. Again, taking a
conservative approach inhopes to out-perform the forecast.
