In a landmark move for India’s maritime sector, Parliament has passed the Merchant Shipping Bill, 2025, and the Carriage of Goods by Sea Bill, 2025. These legislations aim to modernize outdated laws, enhance safety, and align India’s shipping framework with international standards, positioning the nation as a global maritime leader.
The Lok Sabha passed the Carriage of Goods by Sea Bill, 2024 on March 28, 2025, to modernize provisions governing the carriage of goods by sea and simplify maritime regulations. The bill replaces the Indian Carriage of Goods by Sea Act, 1925, aligning with international conventions for bills of lading.
