NEW DELHI: The government is working on a new coastal shipping policy to promote the domestic industry, Shipping Minister G K Wasan said today.

"We are receiving suggestions from Indian National Shipowners Association ( INSA)and we are getting suggestions from other stakeholders also. The coastal shipping policy would be to encourage the Indian shipping fraternity," he told reporters at a logistics summit organised by CII here.
