A Study on Prospect and Problems of Cargo Handling in Chennai Port

DBQ In places such as India, waterways have always played a huge role in their history. In the past India used to be a huge ship-building country until Britain conquered it, and their reputation dropped. Still, productive oil fields and fisheries are found ways along shorelines, and are actively used for trade. Throughout history, it’s been evident that the usage and control of waterways has economic and political effects on many societies.

The Indian Ocean Trade included overland and sea trade routes that extended from China to the Swahili Coast to the Middle East. It provided easy access to cheaper and more frequent trade during the monsoon seasons because sailors could depend on the predictable monsoon winds. Cultural diffusion occurred through peaceful trade that was dominated by merchants. Technology, ideas, religion, and products also spread throughout the trade routes. The Indian Ocean Trade was the first time that goods were being traded in mass market.

Indian Ocean Trading Network - Long distance trade in dhows and sailboats made it a dynamic zone of interaction between peoples, cultures, and civilizations.

One of the most significant reasons why the trade route through the Indian Ocean had the most positive impact around the world is because it allowed merchants to

All the p-values are greater than 0.05, therefore there is a statistical difference between each transect.

The ship roman traders used for trading by sea was called the Corbitas. In Document 2, they described the trade ship as “ A round-hulled ship with curving prow and stern.” And also praising the Corbitas in context by stating “The Corbitas could carry a maximum of 600 passengers, or an alternative maximum of 6,000 jars of wine, oil, and other liquids; cargo weighing between 70 and 350 tons.” These trading ships also transported the surplus of goods faster than a cart could on land, Document 2 supports this by adding an example that stated “It took only two to three weeks for a ship to travel from Egypt to Rome.” And sea trade was so important romans built deep harbors in key locations to increase its effectiveness, at their peak, Rome constructed lighthouses in 40 different locations to help sailors navigate at night or in environments where their vision was obscured. Sea trade ultimately became Rome’s best and most efficient trading routes, and raked in a lot of money for Rome, and became one of Rome’s best economy boosters in their

Ancient Greeks and Romans accessed the Oriental world through the use of weather patterns, ships, and also caravans through the plateau that stretched between the empires. In the summer months it was discovered that monsoons could help the Greeks/Romans get to India. The winds caused by these massive storms also propelled the Romans to master their ship building techniques. The use of winds in August and later was not as prominent due to the fact that they were not near as powerful as the earlier storms. Shipbuilding was a trade that was perfected by the Romans and has since been used and has benefited the people of both the Western world and the Eastern world. An example of their superiority is evident in the numerous ports along the coast of India. At the time there were forty to fifty Roman ports where

This constant exchange of ideas, spread of cultures, and mixing of societal beliefs played a major role in developing the civilizations and trading states around the Indian Ocean. Similarly, the sustained trade of sugar, spices, cotton, silk, textiles, porcelain, salt, and precious metals were constantly exchanged using this trade network. In addition, the traders relied on seasonal monsoons to enable travel across the ocean. These predictable winds, in conjunction with naval technology, assisted the commerce tremendously.

Note: the program we used on this worksheet said the results were not significant, but then in statistical notion it had “p < 0.05”. That is confusing because I believe it should be “p >

Indian Ocean Region is the best trade route it. The route carry more products and profited per trip. Which helped the social and economic ties between area. Eventually those ties will be ruined due to the fall of the Mongol empire. Previous trade connections and interaction were ruined. Eventually the new ties will make tension for who gets the right to control the Indian Ocean trade route in period 4. Trading still occurs but it was no longer safe. The Indian Ocean network was never controlled by a single empire. Eventually what was traded was different. The government still charge a reasonable amount for trading in the Indian Network. Cites also still grew around the ports. The trading network was near east asia, India, and east coast

According to the above results from MINITAB, the p-value of 0.038 is smaller than the significance level of 0.05; consequently, the null hypothesis will be rejected. There is sufficient evidence to support the

Conclusion : Fails to reject the null hypothesis. The sample does not provide enough evidence to support the claim that mean is significantly different from 12 .

The results from this study only reflect a very small number of the population, so it is difficult for this experiment to show any significant results. It would have reflected better on the results if the sample size had been meet, however it was not possible due to lack of time and number of eligible volunteers.

In this case, level of significance, α was not provided. Therefore, the analysis will be evaluated based on two α values which are:
