Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, 2007.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 89-93).
This thesis studies the maritime sector of India, specifically using China as a basis for comparison. Chinese economic impact is studied under the two major headings: the effective use of non-living and living resources. Next, an overview of the current maritime profile of India is presented followed by a comparative discussion to understand the reasons for India to lag behind China in the maritime field. The outlook for global shipping, taking into account the possibility of strong economic growth in India, is presented. This is performed by comparing the expected impact on global shipping due to India, to the one observed in 2004 due to China. This comparative analysis foresees a plausible shipping boom in select cargo types namely liquid and dry bulk cargo. No boom in containers shipping is expected. Conditions of expected global shipping growth rates and Indian growth rates which may yield another shipping boom are presented.
