Regulatory Framework in Indian Seaborne Logistics: (Right of First Refusal)

Right of first refusal (RoFR) is a right which accrues to a bidder in a tendering process for shipping – who offers an Indian flag vessel and whose rate though not being the lowest – to be awarded the tender, subject to his matching of the lowest rate offered by a bidder who offers a foreign flag vessel.

In India, coastal trade is reserved for Indian registered vessels. Foreign vessels can be used for coastal trade only if Indian vessels are not available, after obtaining a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from Indian National Shipping Association (INSA) and approval from the maritime regulator, DG Shipping.

This is applicable for all vessel categories. RoFR is due to the policy of cabotage protection, prevalent across many countries, including India.

Right of First Refusal (RoFR ), hierarchy is as follows:

  • Indian built, Indian flagged and Indian owned
  • Foreign built, Indian flagged and Indian owned
  • Indian built, foreign flagged and foreign owned
