Session Report
As for this session report, the chairperson gave an oral presentation at the Closing Session.
Good morning, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen,
I am very honored today to make this report to you on behalf of the vice chairpersons and all the participants in Parallel Session 1.
First of all, on behalf of all the participants in Parallel Session 1, I thank Mr. Sasakawa, The Nippon Foundation, Ship & Ocean Foundation and Friends of WMU Japan for providing a wonderful opportunity to bring us together in Tokyo. We are also very grateful to Mr. Kudo and all the staff of the Secretariat of the Forum for their well-considered programs and all the support to this Session.
As the chairperson, I also take this opportunity to thank my Co-chairpersons: Mr. Anantha Prasad from India, Mr. Andi Isnovandiono from Indonesia, Mr. Abu Hena Moham Mamun from Bangladesh for their co-chairing of this Session. My thanks also go to our two distinguished advisers: Mr. Toshio Matsuda from NYK Line and Professor Ma Shuo from WMU for their invaluable advice on various issues. I am also very grateful to the two assistants, Ms Liu Jie from China and Mr. Bulmaro Rodriguez from Ecuador for their invaluable assistance.
Last but not least, I thank all the speakers and all the participants for their presentations and contributions to this Session.
Now, I would like to move to my report. My report will concentrate on the following points:
1. Reporting on the presentation procedures; and
2. Summary of concerns identified during the presentation and floor discussions.
1. Reporting on the presentation procedures
There are 16 papers submitted to this Session. We have 14 speakers who presented their papers. One paper is for distribution only and one intended speaker was unfortunately absent.
Most of the participants share the view that in the very limited period of time, we had a fruitful discussion among the speakers and the participants. We touched upon issues from local to regional concerns and other general issues relating to port and shipping.
2. Summary of concerns identified during the presentation and floor discussions.
a. It is desirable for the developing countries to participate in shipping activities in the sprit of regional cooperation. For example, intra-regional traffic within Asia has grown to be the biggest market in the world. Such regional trade could be an entry point for the developing countries. Participation in the regional trade is a reality;
b. The issues of interest should be achieving maximum efficiency on transportation including shipping in the overall competitiveness of products marketed internationally. The above efficiency also encompasses domestic shipping or cabotage;
c. The deficiencies or malfunctioning of the various systems and unethical practices should be the areas for immediate improvement towards reducing the costs of inefficiency;
d. Safety and environmental issues should be seriously pursued along the line determined by international maritime community; and
e. Development of a port should be driven by the availability of self-supporting domestic cargo.
I thank you for your kind attention.
