strong increase in the containerization of maritime cargo in India.

The growing share of container tonnages shows there is a strong increase in the containerization of maritime cargo in India.
Evolution in Shares of Different Types of Cargo It is important to consider the development of different types of cargo because this will impact the ports and the ports policy in terms of required facilities, infrastructure, superstructure and equipment. The shares of major commodities  for five major commodity groups. Petroleum, Oil and   Lubricants (POL) declined from 41 percent to 37 percent of total tonnage, whereas coal increased in share from 13 percent to 15 percent. Iron ore reduced from 19 percent to 15 percent. The share of other commodities, which includes for example fertilizers, but also general and break-bulk cargo, has decreased from 23 percent to 17 percent. The share of containerized tonnage shows a large increase from 4 percent to 16 percent. The growing share of container tonnages shows there is a strong increase in the containerization of maritime cargo in India. This is an encouraging sign of the increased integration of the Indian supply chains and trade networks to the global container transport networks.
