Multimodal Transportation: An Overview

There is 14, 5000 km of navigable waterways in India, of which about 5,700 km is navigable by mechanized vessels. The share of Inland Waterways Transportation (IWT) IN India is far lower as compared with many other countries which have optimally utilized the benefits of IWT. The IWT modal share in Netherlands is 42%, France 15%, Hungary 15%, Germany 14%, Belgium 13% and in US 15%. Costal shipping acts for inter-modal transportation plays an important role in the integrated logistics chain in developed countries. Costal shipping, also known as Short Sea Shipping (SSS), accounts for 43% of cargo traffic in Europe. Other economies such as US and China have adopted development and utilization plans increased transportation through inland/ costal waterways. In India cargo movement by IWT increased from 32 million tons in 2003-04 to 69 million tons in 2009-10. Most of the cargo movement by IWT takes place in Goa and Maharashtra, which accounts for around 90% share of cargo traffic on IWT.

The National Waterways Bill, 2015was introduced in the Lok Shabha on May 5, 2015 by the Minister of Road Transport and Highways and Shipping, Mr. Nitin Gadkari. The Bill identifies additional 101 waterways as national waterway. The number of waterways to be declared as new National Waterways is now proposed as 106, and by the existing NWs, the total number of National Waterways in the bill goes up to 111.The following changes have been affected in the original list of 101 waterways that was introduced with the National Waterways Bill 2015; 10 Waterways of Kerala have been omitted, 17 waterways have been merged with the existing waterways and 18 waterways (5 Karnataka , 5 Meghalaya, 3 Maharashtra, 3 Kerala, 1 each from Tamil Nadu and Rajasthan ) have been added, thus, making a total of 160 waterways that have been finalized for declaration as new National Waterways in addition to the 5 existing waterways. In line with the above CII is organizing IWX 2017 –an exhibition and conference keeping inland water transport at the centre of it.
