Shipping 2008

“The Indian maritime sector has entered a high-growth phase fuelled by the country's spectacular economic growth and rapidly increasing seaborne trade. The most striking feature of this development is the simultaneous buoyancy in all the sub-sectors shipping, ports and shipbuilding. This provides tremendous opportunities for all the players in the maritime field. I am sure that The SHIPPING & MARITIME World Expo 2008 being supported by the CHEMTECH Foundation, which offers a common platform for interaction amongst the various players in the maritime field, would lead to much better understanding of these opportunities in the Indian maritime sector.”

"History is Testament to the fact that no nation can aspire to be a great power unless it effectively uses its maritime sector both for commercial and military purposes. Our economic prosperity is largely dependent on the growth of our Maritime Sector, which is very vibrant today and offers a host of opportunities in a large number of areas comprising Shipbuilding / Repairs, Ports, Shipping lines, Inland Water Transport System, ancillary industries etc. The Maritime Security and the role of the Indian Navy therefore assume great significance to ensure the right environment for the growth of India’s Maritime Sector and its economic prosperity since, “Those who Rule the Seas, Rule the World”.Exciting and challenging days lie ahead for the Indian Maritime Industry and therefore the initiative by CHEMTECH Foundation, “Shipping and Maritime World Expo 2008” is truly opportune, encouraging and commendable.."
