Significance / relevance of the course With a steady growth in world GDP and volume of international trade, substantial investment is required to enhance the cargo handling and hinterland connectivity with gateway ports. With ambitious plans for their ports and terminals; governments all over the world are increasingly encouraging and providing various incentives to investors and operators to build and expand Ports and Maritime infrastructure. Over a period of time, roles of the Government and public bodies have changed to remain landlord /owners of public assets – waterfront and port land. Private enterprises gradually increase their role in the ports by taking charge of financial and operational risks. In this process, Government and public bodies assume the roles of owners of land & waterfront and regulators of the port while private enterprises take on complete responsibility of Port operations.
