D-G Shipping Commissions IIM Indore for Ship Age Norm Study

The Directorate General of Shipping has selected the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Indore to conduct an in-depth study on age norms and orders for ships. This initiative aims to address and improve safety standards and operational efficiency in the maritime sector.

The study by IIM Indore will focus on evaluating the current age norms for ships, assessing their impact on safety, environmental sustainability, and economic viability. The collaboration underscores the importance of academic expertise in shaping policy and regulatory frameworks in the shipping industry.

As part of the study, IIM Indore will analyse global best practices, gather data on the performance and safety records of older ships, and evaluate the economic implications of age restrictions. This comprehensive approach is expected to provide actionable insights that can inform future regulatory decisions by the Directorate General of Shipping.
