India Breaking China’s Shipping Container Monopoly
Marking a historic entry into the market historically controlled by China, India Breaking China’s Shipping Container Monopoly is a bold step in the competitive field. China, predominantly, controls 97% of global container manufacturing. Moreover, this dependence left Indian exporters vulnerable to supply shortages and soaring freight.
Furthermore, this dependence left Indian exporters vulnerable to supply shortages and increased freight costs. For decades, 99% of containers in the Indian circulation had been imported from China. Most importantly, this dependence became expensive during the pandemic. Above all, Indian goods sat at ports simply because China controlled the physical metal boxes holding them.
India Expanding Shipping Container Manufacturing
Breaking China’s monopoly and boosting its exports, India expanding its shipping container manufacturing is the right move towards global logistics. To begin with, Container Manufacturing Promotion Scheme (CMAS) backs its annual production capacity by investing ₹10,000 crore. In addition, a TEU (Twenty-Feet Equivalent Unit) is the standard size of one shipping container.
Moreover, the global shipping giant, Maersk, unveiled the first export-import (EXIM) shipping container. It was manufactured in India at the Dadri depot in Uttar Pradesh. Furthermore, Maersk placed a commercial order for 1,000 additional containers with the Indian manufacturer DCM Shriram Group. After container production, Maersk is exploring partnerships with Indian shipyards to build tugs and feeder container ships too.
