Abstract

In recent years, it has been a global phenomenon that there is an increasing freight transport demand, where the primary modes of transport such as road and rail were struggling to cop up with the situation. An alternative mode of transportation is inevitable to curb the problems of pollution and congestions backed with fuel efficiency and measures to reduce transport costs. The concept of Short Sea Shipping could be favorable solution for the problems aroused. India is one of the fastest growing economies in the world with a balanced GDP growth rate. The transport demand in the country is rising day to day and the poor transport infrastructure is resisting the expected economic development. India has a vast coastline of 7500 km having access to the sea on the three sides with 12 major and 187 minor ports. The geographical advantages envisage the country with a wide scope for the development of Short Sea Shipping. But the utilization of Short Sea Shipping in the country is minuscule compared to other developed and growing economies such EU, Russia, China etc. As a result it is essential to explore the potentials of Short Sea Shipping in India in relation with the cost, environment and congestion compared to road and rail transport. The challenges of
implementing the project in the country have to be analyzed with Inland water ways, Port development and legal restrictions existing in India.
