    Chapter 1

    INTRODUCTION

    Shipping is the service of transporting goods by means of high capacity,

    oceangoing ships that transit regular routes on fixed schedules. The shipping

    industry is the primary conduit of world trade and an increasingly important part

    of the maritime industry. Shipping carries the majority of the worlds ocean-

    borne trade in value terms and facilitates a significant portion of the

    merchandise trade of the world. The industry has contributed to advances in the

    standard of living of most of the worlds population in the last 35 years, as thegains from trade through advancing global commerce were enabled by the

    reliable, efficient and relatively low-cost transportation provided by the

    industry.Total seaborne trade reached an estimated 8.4 billion tons in 2010.As with all industrial sectors, however, shipping can be susceptible to

    economic downturns. Indeed, following several years of incredibly buoyant

    shipping markets, for many trades the best in living memory, much of the

    international shipping industry has fallen prey to the worldwide economic

    downturn. The year 2009 recorded the sharpest trade decline in more than 70

    years, with world merchandise export volumes estimated by UNCTAD to have

    plummeted by 13.7 Per cent. In terms of value, world merchandise exports fell

    by 22.9 per cent. Shipping is inherently the servant of the economy, so the

    contraction in trade, following the beginning of the credit crunch in late 2008,

    has translated into a dramatic and abrupt reduction in demand for shipping.

    Preliminary data indicate that world seaborne trade in 2010 bounced back from

    the contraction of the

    previous year and grew by an estimated 7 per cent, taking the total of goods

    loaded to 8.4 billion tons, a level surpassing the pre-crisis level reached in 2008

    .Notwithstanding the current gloom and doom, the longer term outlook for theindustry remains very good. The worlds population continues to expand, and

    emerging economies will continue to increase their requirements for the goods

    and raw materials that shipping transports so safely and efficiently. In the longer

    term, the fact that shipping is the most fuel efficient and carbon friendly form of

    commercial transport should work in favor of an even greater proportion of

    world trade being carried by sea.

    Chapter 2

    CUSTOMER (cruise vessel) SATISFACTION IN JM BAXI: A REVIEW

    Customer satisfaction is the summary of the opinion of the

    customer about the vendor. Right from the providing of the service, the

    customer comes in contact with the service provider or the vendor and

    the opinion that he (master of the Cruise vessel) makes about the

    supplier is the sum total of his experience and the perception he makes

    while coming in contact with the service provider. The customer

    ultimately chooses the agency that provides him more value for money

    and with his service he is comfortable and satisfied.

    The satisfaction level is a function of the difference between the

    perceived performance and the expectations. If the service performance

    exceeds the expectation, the customer is highly satisfied or delighted. If

    the performance matches the expectation, the customer is satisfied. If the

    service falls short of the expectations the customer is dissatisfied. Higher

    the level of satisfaction, the better is the emotional and sentimental

    attachment to the brand and a better relationship between the customer

    and the service provider.

    In a competitive market place, where the business competes forcustomers, customer satisfaction is seen as a key differentiator and

    increasingly has become an element of business strategy.

  • 7/31/2019 Project Final Rahul

    11/29

    2.1) Concept of Customer Satisfaction

    In the shipping Agency market where the customer is the king,

    business begins and ends with the customer. The business growth,

    profitability, liquidity and the image of an organization depend upon the

    customer. It is therefore essential that a service provider meets the

    customers expectations fully and ensures that he is satisfied. The

    organization needs to build a good customer relationship.

    According to Philip Kotler, Customer Satisfaction is the end of a

    persons felt state resulting from comparing a products perceivedperformance (outcome) in relation to the persons expectations.

    Customer satisfaction is the state of mind that customers have about

    a company when their expectations have been met or exceeded over the

    lifetime of the product or service. The achievement of the customer

    satisfaction leads to company loyalty and requesting the service again.

    There are some important implications of this definition:

    Because customer satisfaction is a subjective, non quantitativestate, measurement wont be exact and will require sampling

    and statistical analysis.

    Customer satisfaction measurement must be undertaken with anunderstanding of the gap between the customer (Master of the

    vessel) expectations and the attribute performance perceptions.

    Measuring customer satisfaction is a relatively new concept to many

    companies that have been focused exclusively on the income statements

    and balance sheets. Companies now recognize that the new global

    economy has changed things forever. Increased competition, crowded

    markets with service differentiation and years of continual sales and theirfocus must change.

  • 7/31/2019 Project Final Rahul

    12/29

    Competitors that are prospering in the new global economy recognize

    that measuring the customer satisfaction is the key. Only by doing so can

    they hold on to the customers that they have and understand how to

    attract new customers. The competitors, who will be successful,

    recognize that customer satisfaction is a crucial strategic weapon that can

    bring increased market share and increased profits.

    2.2) Benefits of Customer Satisfaction

    An organization survives because of its customers. An excellently

    managed technically sound organization with international certificationmay get out of business due to lack of customer satisfaction. It is the

    customers who pays for the employees salaries and create surplus for

    the organization.

    Satisfied customers are a central to the optimal performance and the

    financial returns. In many places, business organizations have been

    elevating the role of the customer to that of a key stakeholder over the

    past twenty years. Evidence is mounting that placing high priority on

    customer satisfaction is crucial to improve organizational performance

    in a global market place.

    Customer satisfaction is seen as proof of delivering quality product

    or service. A company can always increase customer satisfaction by

    lowering its price or increasing its services but this may result in lower

    profits. Thus the purpose of marketing is to generate customer value

    profitability. The two major factors of marketing are the recruitment of

    new customers and the retention and the expansion of relationships with

    the existing customers.

  • 7/31/2019 Project Final Rahul

    13/29

    In todays increasingly competitive environment, customer retention is

    an important element of Agency strategy where they competing with

    their peers to get the upper hand in the market. This can be done only

    through customer satisfaction.

    Business leaders must realize that pursuing customer satisfaction is a

    critical and strategic decision. Top management must embrace this

    reality by acknowledging, communicating and acting upon two basic

    truths:

    Customer satisfaction is the ultimate goal: Theirs is no higherachievement than satisfying the customers an organization has

    committed itself to serving.

    Customer satisfaction is an investment: This is importantbecause customer satisfaction processes often dont produce

    results in the very short term. Payoffs are more often realized in

    the medium or long term.

    2.3) Measuring Customer Satisfaction

    Organizations are increasingly interested in retaining existing

    customers while targeting non-customers.

    We need to identify four gaps to provide customer satisfaction:

    Gap 1: The difference between what customers (Master)expected and what management perceived about the

    expectation of customers.

    Gap 2: The difference between managements perception ofthe customer expectations and the translations of those into

    service quality specifications and designs.

  • 7/31/2019 Project Final Rahul

    14/29

    Gap 3: The difference between specifications or standardsof service quality and the actual service delivered to

    customers.

    Gap 4: The difference between the services delivered tocustomers and the promise of the firm to customers about

    its service quality.

    2.4) Customer Satisfaction Models

    1.) The Service Expectation Model

    Customer satisfaction with a service can be measured through

    a survey of the actual perception of the users or otherwise comparing

    their actual perception with their expectations.

    3.)The Customer Satisfaction Index

    The customer Satisfaction Index represents the overall

    satisfaction level of that customer as one number, usually as a

    percentage. Plotting this satisfaction index of the customer against a

    time scale shows exactly how well the supplier is accomplishing the

    task of the customer satisfaction over a period of time. Thus customer

    satisfaction can be expressed as a single number that tells the supplier

    where he stands today and an improvement plan can be chalked out to

    further improve his performance so as to get a loyal customer.

    2.5) Factors affecting customer satisfaction in JM BAXI

    Shipping Agency is a service oriented industry and it has the

    potential to reach the majority of the shipping sector. In choosing the

    agency the customers (master/owner of the ship) is influenced by the

    image of the agency and the quality of the service. The level of the

    satisfaction can also vary depending on other options the customer

    15/29

  • 7/31/2019 Project Final Rahul

    16/29

    6.)Commitment

    This refers to the commitment of the agency in providing the

    committed service that they promised. In doing so they can please

    the customer as well as retain him. It also shows the agencys

    thoroughness and punctuality.

    7.)Communication

    Good communication always plays a vital role. Proper

    communication between the vessel and the agency will reduce the

    problems and provide all the information the vessel needs before

    the arrival to the berth. The better the communication the greater

    the efficiency of the agency.

    8.)Competence

    Competence is the skill, expertise and the professionalism

    with which the service is carried out or executed. This includeswhether they follow the correct procedures, the standards etc.

    9.)Courtesy

    The term courtesy includes the politeness, respect and the

    propriety shown by the representative officer at the time of the

    delivering of the service. The staff or the representative of thecompany should be non-interfering when appropriate.

    10.)Flexibility

    The vessel may sometimes need services that are mentioned in

    the companys supply list but the company must be able to provide

    customizable service to the vessel to meet its demands.

  • 7/31/2019 Project Final Rahul

    17/29

    11.)Functionality

    It refers to the serviceability and the fitness for the purpose; or

    product quality of the service facilities and goods.

    12.)Reliability

    It refers to the reliability and the consistency of the

    performance of service facilities, goods and the services. This

    includes punctual service delivery and ability to keep agreements

    made with the customer.

    13.)Friendliness

    It refers to the warmth and the personal approachability of the

    people of the agency. It includes their cheerful attitude and the

    ability to make the customer feel welcome.

    14.)Responsiveness

    This includes the speed of throughput and the availability of theservice provider to respond promptly to customer service requests,

    with minimal waiting and queuing time.
