Two types of factors affect the shipbuilding industry. They are Macro Factors
such as oil prices, world seaborne trade, political and economic stability and
Market Factors such as scrapping of old vessels, scrapping of old vessels,
charter rates and vessels on order. Among the main factors, labor cost is the
key factor and it affects the competition of various shipyards hugely.
Challenges faced by the industry are overcapacity and lower prices, financing of
new orders, lower order volumes and the change in ship economics, ship
designs and regulations and product mix. Fuel cost and Regulatory Economics
are also the driving the phases of investment.
Indian Scenario
Indias shipbuilding industry is critical to its strategic and economic interests
and is characterized by high growth potential. Shipbuilding produces
byproducts to other industries, including steel, engineering equipment, port
infrastructure, trade and shipping services. India has about 8,000 kilometers
long coastline, around 32 shipyards, 12 major ports and 200 ports under states
jurisdiction. This presents huge scope for development of shipbuilding sector
considering that country's opportunities in the sector have not been utilized
fully. The annual turnover of the industry during 2010-11 was US$ 1.3 billion
and has consistently grown at a CAGR of 8% during the period 2007-11.The
Indian ship builders occupied 6th rank globally accounting for 1% of the global
order book aggregating compensated gross tonnage (CGT) of 2.4 million with
257 vessels on order in year ending 2010.
Globally, the top three countries in international shipbuilding South Korea,
China & Japan had a ruling hold in the industry with a combined new building
order of more than 90%. China was the runaway leader with 40% of the
tonnage compared to South Koreas 34%.These three countries contributed to
around 65% of global shipbuilding exports of US$ 174 billion in 2010. Korea led
the pack with contribution of 27% to global shipbuilding exports, whereas next
was China with global exports contribution of 23%. Japan stood third with

Major Players
India ranks second among the Asian countries after Japan in terms of shipping
tonnage. Shipbuilding is a large industry which requires huge capital
investment & labor forces. Harbours with large spaces are ideal for this type of
industry.
Major Shipbuilding companies are rated on the base of TEU (Twenty foot
equivalent unit) or weight carrying capacities of their container ships.

Public Sector:
Private Sector:
ABG Shipyard Ltd- This shipyard is one of the largest private sector
shipyards. It was established in 1985 & its headquartered at Mumbai &
plant is located in Gujarat. It provides shipbuilding & repair facilities &
has supplied more than 150 vessels. ABG Shipyard makes warships &
other vessels for Indian Navy.
Pipavav Shipyard- It is located on the western coast of India. It has
facilities such of shipbuilding, repairs, heavy engineering etc. It can make
ships up to 400000 DWT. It was the first private shipyard to get a license
to produce vessels for Indian Navy.

5) OTHER FACTORS: Other factors aiding shipbuilding in India include the
limited surplus capacity available with the global shipbuilding yards and a
booming capital market, which can provide easy finance for capital and
operational expenses of these yards. India has proved its capability in
shipbuilding in the area of smaller vessels (fig 2) by getting a sizeable market
share.
Indian yards face systematic disadvantages in several areas, which negate their
natural competitiveness and adversely affect their chances of succeeding in
globalized shipbuilding industry. Indian shipbuilders face all disadvantages of
30-40% of the cost of manufacturing a ship because of these factors. The key
disadvantages are as follows:
1) STATUTORY BURDEN: Shipbuilding attracts all complex set of levies
and duties. The differential rate of duties and taxes between India do
there nations leads to additional cost burden f or Indian shipyards.
12
2) LEVIES: Octroi, CST, VAT and excise duties are some of the levies
applicable to shipyards. Several shipbuilding nations have relaxed these
levies to encourage shipyarsds. In India VAT is refunded only on inputs.
The lack of special incentives for the shipbuilding sector leads to an
additional burden of 8% for domestic sales and 3% for export sales.
3) INDIRECT TAXES: Service tax at 12.6% is applicable on all design and
engineering
services procured by shipyards during the course of ship
construction. It is estimated that the extent of service contribution in the
contract price of all ships is around 12%.
4) Corporate tax affects Indian shipbuilders adversely as compared to
competitors. Though, the recent initiatives of Indian shipyards to structure
themselves as SEZ (special economic zone) enable them to offset this
advantage significantly.
FINANCING COSTS
(Financing costs have greater significance in shipbuilding due to its special
requirements)
5) BANK GUARANTEES: Shipyards are required to provide bank guarantees to
protect the ship buyer, which compromise performance guarantees (for timely
delivery), refund guarantees (for stage payments) and post-construction
guarantees (towards defects). As a result, the cost of bank guarantees in India
is higher than competing countries since there is no support from government
to reduce these charges.
6) WORKING CAPITAL: Approximately a shipyard requires a working capital of
around 25-35% of the cost of ships during the entire period of construction. On
an average the interest rates on working capital in India are 10.5%. Lower scale
of Indian shipbuilding industry leads to several disadvantages in design and
manpower costs.
