On the fourth day of the ongoing monsoon session of the Indian Parliament, the Rajya Sabha is scheduled to consider and pass two key maritime legislations — the Carriage of Goods by Sea Bill, 2025 and the Coastal Shipping Bill, 2025.
Carriage of Goods by Sea Bill, 2025
Already cleared by the Lok Sabha, the Carriage of Goods by Sea Bill, 2025, outlines the rights, liabilities, responsibilities, and immunities of carriers regarding the transport of goods by sea. The legislation aims to modernize maritime transport law and align it with international standards.

The Merchant Shipping Bill, 2024, which aims to consolidate and revise India’s merchant shipping laws to ensure compliance with international maritime obligations, will also be debated.
