Tips for your answer

Present E-Samudra not merely as an online portal but as an attempt to create an integrated digital governance architecture covering the maritime regulatory ecosystem.
Remember Directorate General of Shipping, Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways, 70+ services, CDC, CoC, INDOS, ship registration, Digital India and Maritime India Vision 2030.
Do not confuse E-Samudra with port infrastructure or maritime-security initiatives. Its primary focus is digitisation and integration of maritime administration and regulatory services.
