| What factor significantly affects the output per ship-berth day? | the composition of traffic at the port | 14. As compared to 2016-17, the increase in average output per Ship Berth-day (all commodities except containers) in 2017-18 was of the order of 7.9%. An important determinant of output per Ship Berth-day is the composition of traffic at the port. The average out-put per Ship Berth-day by types of vessels in 2015-16, 2016-17 and 2017-18 of all commodities is presented below in Table-14.

| What is the significance of maritime transport in globalization? | the backbone of globalization and lies at the heart of cross-border transport networks | Maritime transport is the backbone of globalization and lies at the heart of cross-border transport networks that support supply chains and enable international trade. An economic sector in its own right that generates employment, income and revenue, transport – including maritime transport – is cross-cutting and permeates other sectors and activities. Maritime transport enables industrial development by supporting manufacturing growth; bringing together consumers and intermediate and capital goods industries; and promoting regional economic and trade integration. 1. World merchandise trade underperformed in 2016 with volumes (that is, trade in value terms but adjusted to account for inflation and exchange rate movements), expanding by a modest 1.9 per cent (average growth rate of imports and exports), up from 1.7 per cent in 2015. | 22 | definition | 1.000 | https://shipmin.gov.in/sites/default/files/5515335175FinalBPSnew.pdf | Maritime transport is the backbone of globalization and lies at the heart of cross-border transport networks that support supply chains and enable international trade. | 12 |
