Industry slams TPT’s 7% hike By Alan Peat

The announcement by Transnet Port Terminals (TPT) that container handling rates will rise by 7% across-the-board from April 1 has left the industry reeling. This will apply to container tariffs at both the container and multi-purpose

terminals. However, the terminal handling charges for empty containers (imports and exports only) are to be increased by a lower rate of 4%. TPT made the usual conciliatory noises about it having been a tough year – and the increased tariffs, said its statement, were “in order to deal with current

operating cost pressures”. But members of the freight industry were not convinced. “It’s not an increase that’s justifiable,” said Margrit Wolff, MD of Buffalo Freight, “and not one we should accept, because that just encourages inflation. “People in SA just accept price increases, and literally

think their way into more inflation. “Anyway, how do TPT think they can get away with a 7% increase when their landlords – the Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) – only got 4.42%?” The big problem here is that the TPT does not fall under the jurisdiction of the

national ports regulator – which cut TNPA’s original application for a 10.62% rate hike to that more sanesounding 4.42%. This was confirmed by Andrew Pike, maritime lawyer and member of the ports regulator board. “On this subject, I am talking as an individual, To page 16

RFA named FTW’s ‘Freight Industry Newsmaker of 2009’ BY Joy Orlek The Road Freight Association has been named ‘Freight Industry Newsmaker of 2009’ in the first ever competition run by FTW and sister online publication Cargo Info News. Following the announcement of Jacob Zuma as South Africa’s ‘Newsmaker of the Year’ for 2009, we called for nominations from the freight industry with supporting motivation. Of those we received, we believe the RFA presented the most convincing argument, with the industry at large benefiting significantly from its efforts. The contest will become an annual fixture on the

freight industry calendar, so keep it in mind as the year unfolds! Over the past year the RFA has spoken out and lobbied on • Aarto (Points Demerit System): fairer process in the suspension of operations. • Fifa 2010 Soccer World Cup: removal of all freight embargoes. • Consignor/consignee: Sole liability has been removed from the operator, based on facts stated in the document (smuggling). the consignor and the consignee are now jointly liable for offences. • Axle load increases • Total permissible vehicle length was increased from 18m to 22m. • Total Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) increased from 48 tons to 56 tons.

CT harbour master resigns By Ray Smuts

Two of the key players … CEO Sharmini Naidoo and technical and operations manager Gavin Kelly.

Captain Ravi Naicker has resigned as Cape Town harbour master and left National Ports Authority to pursue his own interests. Overseeing all aspects of port operations for several years, marine services included, Naicker has already left, having handed in one month’s notice rather than the more customary two. A Class 11 master intent on studying further, Naicker plans to start his own nautical marine service, Ravca, which will probably be a consultancy.

Team work pays off as system goes live The roll-out of a new accounting system by UPS Worldwide recently set challenging deadlines for the local UPS operation – which immediately galvanised the support of its freight systems provider Compu-Clearing to meet the tight time frames. “It was a race against time,” said CompuClearing’s Mario AcostaAlarcon, “but ultimately we were able to deliver on time with total success,” he told FTW. “When a decision was taken at UPS global headquarters to upgrade its accounting system and replace it with a new version, instructions were sent to the various regions around the world with tight time frames. “UPS South Africa

assembled a dedicated team to tackle the enhancement and Compu-Clearing was contacted immediately to help implement a solution. The invoices printed by UPS in South Africa, using the Compu-Clearing system, needed to be sent to their central system the moment they were produced – electronically and with no human intervention,” Acosta-Alarcon explained. Compu-Clearing used the latest .NET technology along with web-interfaces, and many weeks of hard work paid off with the solution going live late last year – without a glitch. “The development was all part of the ongoing partnership between UPS and Compu-Clearing,” he added.

Winning formula … UPS IE manager east and sub-Saharan Africa, Christian Helleputte, with Brian Baker and Hristo Tzachev of the Compu-Clearing development team.

Problems with UCR delay implementation of export monitoring project By Alan Peat

Queen Mogane ... ‘Correct and accurate use of these unique numbers is critical to the electronic matching of exports with receipts.’

Exporters’ problems with the unique consignment reference (UCR) number may have rather put the brakes on the SA Reserve Bank (SARB) plans to start fullscale electronic monitoring and matching of exports (EMME) this year. The scheme is aimed at introducing an automatic system for checking exports leaving the country, and the money coming back into SA to pay for them – and the ultimate phasing out of the F178 foreign exchange form. Addressing members of various chapters of the Exporters’ Club of SA early last year, senior manager of the Reserve Bank, Queen Mogane, said the scheme

Perishable Specialists u Clearing & Forwarding u Imports & Exports u Airfreight u Transport u Supply Chain Management

(which was then in a pilot phase) had many benefits for the exporter. “It not only allows for a more streamlined process, but sees the entire process being simplified and computerised,” she said. “It is part of the initiative to do away with paper-based and manual forms. “The Reserve Bank is charged with ensuring value does not leave the country without being recompensated. It is therefore important to match the physical flow of goods (exports) out of the country with the flow of funds (export proceeds or receipts) into the country resulting from the exports.” All this is based on that UCR number.

FTW4395

“The SARB uses the unique number to link the physical export of goods with the receipt of payment for these exports,” she explained to exporters. “It must be used when goods are cleared through customs – and exactly the same number must be used when receiving payment for these goods via the banking system. “It therefore follows that the correct and accurate use of these unique numbers is critical to the electronic matching of exports with receipts.” Soon after, in his annual budget speech, the then minister of finance, Trevor Manuel, briefly mentioned the electronic monitoring project and hinted that it would be fully introduced

in 2010. But it has gone all quiet on the western front, and members of the SA freight and forwarding community have told FTW that they have heard nothing more of the project since last year’s explanatory road-show presented by the SARB. Meanwhile, inside sources at the Reserve Bank have revealed that everything currently depends on exporters being able to get to grips with that UCR. They are apparently struggling with the number, which is “critical” in the plans for EMME. “We’re currently trying to sort out that UCR,” our SARB source told FTW. “But we do still want to implement the system this year.”

‘Chaotic’ festive season underscores Beitbridge’s problems Pepper spray used to disperse unruly crowds By Liesl Venter Congestion, bribery and all round chaos seemed to be the order of the day at the Beitbridge border post over the Christmas and New Year holidays, resulting in increased pressure on both the South African and Zimbabwean governments as well as the Southern African Development Community (SADC) to find solutions to the escalating problem. Probably the busiest border post in the SADC region, with volumes

rising to more than 12 000 travellers and 3500 vehicles a day during peak times, the Beitbridge border post has become notorious for its long delays. But, say experts, the festive season of 2009/2010 has taken the border post to a new low – from long, winding queues of trucks stretching for over 5km to frustrated travellers waiting for hours to be cleared, resulting in tempers rising. As claims of bribery surfaced, home affairs officers closed the

One-stop to be piloted at Beitbridge this year The South African Department of Home Affairs has said it will extend its pilot onestop border project to Beitbridge during 2010. A spokesman said that the project had been piloted at the Mozambican border post which until recently had more traffic than Beitbridge. “We are hoping to extend this project to other border posts in 2010 including Beitbridge,” said the spokesman. In the meantime

the Common Market of East and Southern Africa (Comesa) opened the first one-stop border post in Africa at Chirundu between Zimbabwe and Zambia in the first week of December. And while teething problems were experienced, Comesa has remained adamant that traffic is flowing much faster through Chirundu. Comesa has pledged its support to SADC to help establish Beitbridge as a one-stop border post.

border post – they stopped processing people when the situation became unmanageable. Police in the meantime took to spraying the public with hot water and pepper spray in an effort to control the ever-increasing crowd. Zimbabwean authorities blamed inadequate parking for congestion on the South African side of the border. “There is no doubt that the Beitbridge border post faces some tough challenges,” says Barney Curtis, executive director

of the Federation of East and Southern African Road Transport Associations (Fesarta). Curtis, who has been heavily involved in finding solutions to these problems, says one of the major issues has been that many of the interventions and efforts to date have just not been enough to solve the problems at the border post, which is heading for disaster. According to the Beitbridge Border Post Efficiency Management Initiative Task Team, it has become critical to find

ways of improving border management efficiency. With SADC taking a leading role at the border post, the appointed task team is expected to meet within the next few weeks to discuss the action plan for Beitbridge. “This plan is currently being circulated to the various role-players for comment,” says Curtis. “SADC has also requested much-needed funding that will be used to implement some of the recommendations in the action plan.”

AIRFREIGHT EXPRESS

Valentine’s Day start for new Maputo service By Joy Orlek Airlink has added regional muscle following a joint venture deal with Mozambique’s privately owned TTA Airline. Airlink has bought 49% of the airline to form TTA Airlink which will launch

daily flights between Maputo and Johannesburg on February 14. The service will operate an Avro RJ85 leased from Airlink and the network will be expanded over the next few weeks to include flights from Maputo to Beira, Tete and Nampula.

Airlink Cargo MD Alwyn Rautenbach told FTW that three flights a week would be added to Tete in due course, to be followed by a daily flight between Maputo and Beira. Airlink MD Rodger Foster, quoted in Business Day, said the two airlines had been in discussions for three years but

could only press ahead with their planned joint venture once the bilateral air policy agreement between the two countries had been expanded to include a second carrier from both countries. Previously JohannesburgMaputo was served solely by LAM, Mozambique’s

flag carrier The new service is good news for cargo, says Rautenbach, with the aircraft offering around 1.5 ton capacity. “Tete and Nampula are industrial areas and therefore provide good freight opportunities.”

Emirates goes double daily to Rome Emirates' flights to Rome went double daily this month. The airline's 12 times a week service to the Italian capital is now twice a day and supplements double daily flights to Milan and a daily flight into Venice.

By Alan Peat January has seen unusually good volumes of perishable air exports this year, according to Ronel Mendes, national marketing manager of SAA Cargo. “Normally it’s a big rush of perishable exports over the December festive season, then a slack start to the New Year,” she told FTW. “But this January air exports have still been pumping. Not as much as December, but still unusually high volume nonetheless.” The fact that Gauteng has had exceptionally heavy rains during the first month of the year – bruising a lot of the potential fruit exports, and

preventing a lot of the farms being able to pick-and-pack – has not had the major effect expected. This loss of airfreight volume has to a large extent been compensated for by Zimbabwe and Zambia running at full steam on fruit and flower exports during January, according to Mendes. “These two countries are part of our market as well,” she said, “because they feed their perishable exports to Europe through the OR Tambo International Airport (Ortia) in Johannesburg.” Mendes also noted that exotic foods (like lobsters) had also been very good, although fish has had a bit of a slack January because of international prices.

Paccon expands warehouse facilities Bonded option to be added shortly

Auto exports revving up

As part of its extensive upgrading programme, the Durban-based service provider Paccon Logistics has just moved into its new office and warehouse complex. The warehouse is a jointventure company – registered under the name Matvin Odyssey Warehousing. This deal has been concluded with one of Paccon’s cross-border clients. According to director Andrew Wallace, the newly developed facility in Umgeni Road is approximately 1 650 m 2 and is equipped with two under-cover dock levellers to facilitate all-weather packing and unpacking of containers. A separate ramp with a roller shutter allows access to a yard of about 800 m 2 in dimension and offers a drivethrough access for trucks. “A CCTV system will be

South African new car assemblers are confident that 2010 will be a better year for exports than last year. According to the National Association of Automobile Manufacturers of South Africa (Naamsa), manufacturers are expecting overall export sales to grow by about 32% from last year’s level of 174 952 vehicles. “Inventory constraints” bogged down exports during January. The figure of 9 130 vehicles was a drop of 1 585 units or 14.8% compared to the 10 715 vehicles exported during January last year,” Naamsa said.

load (FCL) export packing, and customs-supervised transit cargo unpacks. As part of the company’s forward planning, bonded facilities will soon be added to the current structure. “We are very excited about these developments,” said

Wallace, “and believe it will enhance the services we can offer to current and future clients.” The warehouse facility will be run on a day-to-day basis by Vishen Appanna – a man with many years of experience in warehousing.

Liquidations start easing ahead of buoyant business outlook By Alan Peat It was a happier Christmas for SA businesses as liquidations of companies and CCs eased compared to the whopping numbers of collapses recorded at the beginning of last year, according to Luke Doig, senior economist at the Credit Guarantee Insurance Corporation (CGIC). In figures released to FTW, Doig indicated that liquidations of companies and CCs in December rose 10.1% year-on-year to 382 – taking the annual total up to 4 133. “This may be a concerning 25.2% up on 2008’s level,” he said. “But, while this outcome has meant hardship for many, it is a far cry from the 70% increases seen in the first quarter of 2009.” Meantime, according to the latest figures available, insolvencies of individuals

and partnerships rose 12.6% year-on-year in November. “This,” Doig added, “means the total for the first eleven months is 5.4% below that of the same period in 2008, and there is some hope that this decline will continue when the December figure is released.” All this is taking place in an environment where credit extension figures are at all time lows. “And,” said Doig, “even though banks have relaxed some of their lending criteria, much more needs to be done to facilitate easier lending. The leading indicator has been rising for eight of the last nine months, with the November 2009 level being almost 12% above that of a year earlier.” Even with moribund retail sales data and the fact that payments due for purchases made late last year still have to be met, he reckoned

said, “which will most likely translate into thousands of additional feet in retail outlets. “Secondly, the World Cup is not going to be over for very long before re-stocking begins in the third quarter in anticipation of 2010 Christmas shopping.”

Customs overhaul puts trade facilitation on the map Deadline for comments on new legislation draws closer By Liesl Venter

received,” says Gavin Kelly, spokesman for the Road Freight Association (RFA). The rewrite of the Customs and Excise Act of 1964 is aimed at bringing South Africa’s customs and excise laws into international alignment, while striking a better balance between trade and economic growth and ensuring economic, community and border safety. According to Barney Curtis, executive director of the Federation of East

As the deadline for commenting on the newly rewritten Customs legislation draws nearer, more and more role-players are welcoming the overhaul that most agree has been long overdue. “We have been involved with the South African Revenue Service and the rewriting of the Customs legislation for more than two years and our input has always been very well

and Southern African Road Transport Associations (Fesarta), this is of utmost importance. “Sars is being very proactive with its legislation, but its focus has been more on efficiency and control of its own systems, rather than trade facilitation. We hope that with continued lobbying from the private sector, trade facilitation will become a Sars priority.” With the creation of two new Bills – the Customs Control Bill and the Customs

Duty Bill – Sars is actively modernising legislation, allowing for it to keep tread with the international trade environment which has moved far from the era when customs was about controlling trade rather than facilitating it. Work on the new legislation started already in 2005 and finally went out for public comment in October last year. “The deadline for public comment is 26 February,” says Kelly. “We have had very

good support from Sars on the comments we have made in an attempt to rectify/improve what they control and are responsible for.” Once the commentary process is over the new Bill will be tabled in Parliament before being promulgated. The entire process is, however, expected to take at least another year. “Good legislation will make a huge difference if the right processes are in place,” says Kelly.

Big opportunity for maritime learners In a combined project between the Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers (ICS) and Norwegianbased chemical carriers, JoTankers, 13 bursaries have been awarded to the top maritime learners at the Sithengile Secondary

School – inland from Durban. The bursary scheme is now in its second year and JoTankers’ support includes a trip to the harbour and classroom lectures on various shipping topics.

Pictured with the students are Mr Thusi (Principal of Sithengile), Fiona de Goede (ICS), Jeremy Skeen (JoT), Dag Bjarstad (JoT Norway) and Sean Minogue, ICS tutor.

People rather than capacity cause port congestion ‘Assets employed are not achieving their theoretical capacity’ By Alan Peat Even though port congestion at the moment is not hitting the critical levels of past years, flaws in port management and staff performances make it an inherent problem, according to a leading authority in the SA shipping industry who preferred to remain unnamed. “I’d have to start by making it clear that I am not directly condemning Transnet. They have some very highly qualified people trying to run a very complex transport organisation.” But, he added, this bureaucratic monster is not an easy animal to control – and there still remain some basic problems in achieving efficiency. “Look at Durban as an example,” our source said. “It has a stated capacity for handling 3.2-million TEUs a year – 2.4-m at Durban

Transnet has invested wisely, but they now need to invest in the best in human resources to get the SA ports up to par.

container terminal (DCT) and 800 000 at Pier 1.” And last year, according to Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) statistics, 2.4-m TEUs went through the two terminals. “On that basis they were 75% utilised. Under that there should be no congestion.” But there was significant congestion between September and November last year.

“Quite simply, if there is congestion under this circumstance, the productivity is just not good enough. The assets employed are not achieving their theoretical capacity. “That means a shortage of productivity compared to the investment made.” This indicated a distinct need to employ the very best in human resources at the port, our commentator added,

and for them to help develop skills locally over the long-term. He also noted that Transnet operated in a geographically remote location – and was, therefore, not exposed to, or developing, the best practices that are found in the world’s top ports. “If you look at the truly international port operators around the globe, they are learning the best practices

and transferring them to each other because of their almost daily interaction. “But Transnet is not part of this interaction process. “They have invested wisely in the very best equipment. But they now need to invest in the best in human resources to get the SA ports up to par. “What we need to decide is: What can we do together to improve things?”

Electronic border clearance needs advance notification Border post must be advised an hour prior to the arrival of a truck By Liesl Venter Congestion, clearing issues and even parking are just some of the problems the South African Revenue Service (Sars) is hoping to address with the re-writing of South Africa’s customs legislation. The new legislation will allow for e-clearing that will need to be done prior to arrival at any of the border posts – a move welcomed by freight forwarders and transporters alike as huge delays at border posts become all too familiar. “One of the major stumbling blocks we have recently identified is that original certificates of origin for SADC transit need to be presented at the border posts, knocking out the submission of electronic data and pre-

clearance,” says Gavin Kelly, spokesman for the Road Freight Association, which has been working closely with Sars on the new legislation. “The process of clearing vehicles and immigrationrelated tasks is the major delay at any border post. If pre-clearing were done it would immediately sort out the congestion issues and should make free flow possible. The immigration process is a hindrance, as currently drivers have to park their vehicles and go to an office. Further problems are created with vehicles scans and other means of checking cargo – all slowing down the movement.” The RFA has proposed to Sars that to streamline and speed up cross border movement cargo carriers must give advance notice to

The new legislation will allow for e-clearing that will need to be done prior to arrival at any of the border posts.

customs authorities of the arrival of cargo at border posts. These notices must be submitted electronically at least an hour prior to the arrival of a truck at any border post. Sars for the most part is in agreement and believes that the new updated

legislation will improve the situation. But, says Kelly, there are various practical issues that have been raised that are not necessarily in the public domain. “The bottom line though is that through a pre-clearance process, the removal of unaccredited

clearing agents (in other words agents who cannot submit electronically and do not operate a real 24 hour a day service for clearing) and a dedicated process to move qualifying vehicles through the border post, the situation will improve dramatically.”

Saasoa secures funding for ‘Adopt a learner’ project

Last week’s top stories on

Addressing critical skills shortage

www.cargoinfo.co.za

Toyota recall extends to SA South Africa may not escape the recall of millions of vehicles by Toyota globally due to accelerator pedal problems. Big leap in seafreight through SA ports The January port stats from Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) make for a cheerful read – with seafreight totals leaping up over the same month last year. SA Express speaks out on price fixing As the SA Competition Board prepares to launch an investigation into allegations of collusion among local airlines on pricing strategies during the 2010 Fifa World Cup, SA Express has issued a statement denying any involvement.

After six years of hard work by the council of the SA Association of Ship Operators and Agents (Saasoa), it has taken a big step forward in its creation of the Adopt a Learner Project – a first of its kind in SA. The latest news is that Saasoa has been successful in securing significant funding for its members to participate in the programme – the main purposes of which are to address the critical shortage of skills within the shipping industry; improve the industry’s visibility; and encourage more entrants to join. The association council has made every effort to encourage the industry players to participate in the skills development process (SDP). This included arranging funding from the Transport Education and Training Authority (Teta) for the writing of industry

generic job descriptions and the unit standards and curriculum – which has been registered as a learnership under the SA Qualifications Authority (SAQA) ID number 49155. The foundation step was to appoint an accredited training provider – which met the Teta/department of labour criteria. To fast-track the process, the Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers (ICS) and The Institute for Quality (IQ-Tek) – which are separately accredited for part of the qualification – were brought together. The two organisations have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to collectively act as the accredited training provider – allowing Saasoa to apply for funding in the form of a discretionary grant from Teta. And this has now been approved for 20 learners on

the FET Level 4 shipping certificate qualification, with Saasoa members and registered Teta stakeholders invited to participate in the Adopt a Learner project. The funding will cover the cost of the training facilitators and learner allowances for the contract period of 12 months. Learners will attend structured classroom theory training for approximately

five months, and then be deployed into their adoptive companies to gain practical work experience for the balance of the 12 months. At the end of this period, the companies can decide whether the learner will be employed on a permanent basis, or released to a central skills pool for the other member companies to draw from.

Innovation cuts wine export emissions As South Africa raises its export volumes of mostly bottled wines, it also increases its carbon emissions. “So it becomes a delicate balancing act to enhance our sustainability profile while pushing up our output," says Su Birch, CEO of Wines of South Africa (Wosa). And one of the answers lies in reducing the weight of the bottles.

Busy start to 2010 for Ngqura By Ed Richardson Transnet’s strategy of marketing Ngqura as the transhipment hub for southern Africa is starting to bear fruit. Siya Mhlaluka, Transnet Port Terminals’ divisional executive manager for the container sector, says the Ngqura container terminal has had a “busy start” to 2010 with transhipment cargoes from the Far East, South America and the rest of Africa arriving at the facility for the first time. This brought total vessel calls up to 43 and total cargo volumes up to 35 403

TEUs since the terminal’s operational launch in October 2009. January alone saw 18 ships arrive at the terminal, compared to an average of seven over the months October to December. “We have also been ramping up productivity since launching in October. The average GCH (gross crane hour, or the number of containers moved per crane per hour) at the terminal is currently 22, with December performance peaking at 26. “This makes Ngqura container terminal one of our best performing in terms of crane operations,” he says.

Siya Mhlaluka ... ‘Ramping up productivity.’

England, USA, Algeria and Slovenia will kick in from February 15-26. “In May the special rebate will be extended to all participating countries,” said director Peter SchmidtLoffler, “ with bookings made between January and the end of May to countries qualifying for the semi finals automatically entered into a draw. One prize will be presented for each semifinalist.” And the prizes will continue, culminating in a first prize being presented for a booking made to the winning country, a second prize to the country in second place and a third for the country placed third. “The word ‘Jabulani’ means to rejoice,” says airfreight general manager Dave Graham, “and we believe we have every reason to rejoice as the world’s biggest sporting event comes to South Africa.”

TPT hike slammed From page 1 not as a board member,” he stressed to FTW. “I have a personal concern that the TPT is not regulated and the TNPA is – and that they’re both subsidiaries of the same organisation. “That leaves the ports partially regulated, and partially unregulated – an unhealthy situation.” In discussions at FTW, it also came to mind that this would hypothetically allow TNPA – if it didn’t get what it wanted in tariff increases – to persuade sister company TPT to hike its rates by more than was justified. But even this year’s 4.42% and 7% by TNPA and TPT respectively are anything but justified, according to members of the shipping line industry.

‘Management is the problem. Consultant after consultant has told them it’s not the equipment.’ “We’re fighting the increases because we don’t believe they deserve them,” one well-placed shipping line source told FTW. “If there’s any increase it should be based on productivity – which, in fact, is right down. Congestion cost the lines a lot of money last year. “As lines we will accept an increase on the basis of service – if they can do 25 moves an hour, for example.” But they don’t, and they still made a profit, he added.

A Leading Ocean Carrier CSAV Group Agencies (South Africa)

“So we will argue that one.” According to our source, management is the problem. “Consultant after consultant has told them it’s not the equipment. The test will come again in April – but under current circumstances they shouldn’t be asking for any increase.” Andrew Thomas, CEO of Ocean Africa Container Lines (OACL) agreed with that productivity argument. “Seven percent? I doubt that would be achievable in a competitive environment,” he told FTW, “and I’d like to see the tariff related to productivity. That’s not the case at the moment.” He did, however, think that continuing the differentiation between empty containers (a 4% increase) and laden (7% hike) for the second year is sensible pricing strategy – even if both figures are just too high, and the differentiation should be even greater. Another prominent executive in the SA freight industry slammed TPT behaviour as “monopolistic”, and suggested that the only answer was to let the private sector in to compete. “They hold 100% of the market,” he said, “and there’s just no competition to push down prices. “Anyway, their basic rates are already far too high, and even a relatively small percentage increase is a lot extra. “They need to let the private sector into the ports if we’re ever going to see proper market rates.”
