STC Group's Master Shipping & Transport Programme Update 📰
Here's an update: The Master Shipping and Transport programme of the Maritime and Logistics University of Applied Sciences (earlier Netherlands Maritime University) of the holding group - STC Group - is being offered as a joint venture between the Group and the Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences at the Rotterdam Mainport Institute from the coming year.
The organisational change, according to the STC Group, is to transfer the programme from a private-funded course to a public-funded one. This implies the tuition fee would reduce significantly for both EU and non-EU/international students.
Closing date for registration for the upcoming programme is May 1, 2021.
For the Class of 2012, it is nine years since we have completed the intensive masters programme. Memories...Thanks to Alex🙋

Tapping Market for Transhipment
Krishnapatnam Port, in line with its vision, is building world-class infrastructure and restructuring service offerings for being the shipping hub.
McKinsey & Co., in a recent study hinted at a three-pronged approach for ports to tap in transshipment volumes - pick up additional cargo from ports lacking mainline calls for existing services; work with carriers to introduce additional ports of call; and lure carriers to call at Indian ports.
So, the buzzword is transhipment.

Coastal Shipping Revs Up Port-based Industries

| Please refer Page 22-23 at http://www.krishnapatnamport.com/data/port-newsletter-May%20-2019.pdf |
The Ministry of Shipping has been promoting coastal shipping for cost and time-effective transportation of cargo along the Indian coast. The ongoing cement logistics comprising movement of fly ash raw material from APGENCO and TPCIL plants near Krishnapatnam Port to Penna Cements grinding station at the Port and then transportation from a dedicated berth through a dedicated vessel service Penna Suraksha to its packing terminal in Kochi is a classic example of a modal shift to a successful coastal cargo operation. Kochi already has three other bagging terminals of Ambuja, UltraTech and Zuari.
Krishnapatnam Port has been contributing to coastal movement of cement and other cargoes to both east and west coasts of India. According to the Ministry of Shipping, such modal shift in transport of cement from road and rail to sea is a step towards promoting cost-effective and environment-friendly means of transportation as envisaged under the Sagarmala Programme.

Increasing trade is translating into higher demand for containerisation due to their efficiency, says a recent IBEF study. During FY07–17, container traffic rose to 124.58 MMT, implying a CAGR of 5.9 per cent. During FY17, container traffic stood at 124.58 MMT, the study adds. As the growing trade is leading to growing cargo traffic, Navayuga Container Terminal is gearing up to meet the need by adding to its infrastructure, as Krishnapatnam Port's FB link elaborates.
