Sars strike knocks border clearances EDI keeps airfreight fluid By Alan Peat Despite the protestations by SA Revenue Service (Sars) that its customs’ complement remained about 80% staffed during last week’s strike, two of SA’s main cross-border trade arteries came close to closure, according to border post users. The Beitbridge border post between SA and Zimbabwe and

the Lebombo post between SA and Mozambique were noticeably affected, and strike organisers seemed to have targeted these two to highlight their workers’ complaints. By Wednesday last week, although Sars was confident about staff attendance, saying it had all sorts of contingency plans in place to meet industrial action, FTW was already getting

incoming calls of complaint from landside border post users. A first was from an anonymous but emotionally distraught cross-border truck owner. Two of his trucks, he told FTW, had been jammed in a queue of commercial vehicles at Lebombo for 24 hours. His drivers were stuck and having big problems getting food, and didn’t know when they were going to

get clear. “One of my drivers was talking to a couple of strikers,” the trucker said, “and were told that they (the strikers) didn’t know when they were going back to work, but a few of them were going back to the township for a long weekend, and didn’t intend to come back to work till next Monday.” However, although there

were continuing complaints of slow going at the post right up to this Monday, the strike there didn’t seem to get the same concentration of strike effort as Beitbridge. On Wednesday last week Brian Kalshoven, MD of Beitbridge Border Clearing Agency, told FTW that processing documentation was To page 12

Ngqura could relieve pressure on Luanda By Joy Orlek The Port of Ngqura could potentially play a key transhipment role on the continent, Transnet Port Terminals general manager sales, logistics and commercial said at a business-to-business briefing in Johannesburg last week. “Ngqura can be used to alleviate pressure on ports like

Luanda,” she said, where 86 vessels were waiting to berth during a recent TPT visit. “We’re also looking at Ngqura acting as a feeder for ports in Kenya.” Ngqura is on track to receive its first vessel in October, Damasane said. “Once it’s been officially launched, we believe that most shipping lines will consider the option.”

Nosipho Damasane … ‘Studies have shown that it can work.’

DUTY CALLS A weekly summary of the main changes to the South African tariff dispensation and amendments to customs and Customs Valuation – An Update In response to a request for an update on the proposed customs valuation amendments, the South African Revenue Service (Sars) Valuation: Legislative Interpretation division has advised as follows (please remember that Section 66 of the Customs and Excise Act (the Act) refers to “Transaction Value” and Section 67 of the Act to “Adjustments to Price Actually Paid or Payable”): “The changes to Sections 66(11)(a), 67(1)(e) and 67(4)(a) of the Customs Act, which were promulgated and published in the Government Gazette 31781 dated 8 January 2009, will come into operation on 1 October 2009 as the implementation date to be fixed by the President by proclamation (currently in the process of obtaining the Minister's approval/sign-off) in the Gazette. The amendment removes the words "in a container as defined in section 1(2)" and "are packed in a container as defined in section 1(2)", "if not so packed

in a container" from the current wording of Sections 66(11)(a); 67(1)(e) and 67(4)(a) of the said Act. The effect of this amendment is that the place where the goods were packed into a container in a foreign country, for export to the Republic, will no longer be regarded as the port or place of export and the full cost of transporting the goods from an exporter's premises to the port or place where they are to be loaded on board a ship or any vehicle (e.g. inland freight charges) will be dutiable, thereby bringing it into line with break bulk cargo.” State Warehouse – New Customs and Excise Rules Sars has announced the insertion of Rules 17.06(a) and 17.06(b) to the Act relating to “Rent to be Paid on Goods in a State Warehouse – Date of Implementation”. (a) Notwithstanding the provisions in these rules relating to the payment of rent, with effect from 8 January 2009 no rent is payable in respect of any goods removed from a place

[As a means of reference Rule 17.01 to the Act relates to “Rent to be paid on goods in a State warehouse”.] Filament Lamps – Environmental Levy Sars has extended an invitation to all interested parties to provide comment in respect of the imposition of an Environmental Levy (Schedule No.1 Part 3C to the Act) for electric filament lamps. The Electric filament Lamps Notes to the Section are stated as: (i) “Any rate of environmental levy specified in this Section in respect of any goods shall apply to any such goods which are manufactured in the Republic or imported into the Republic”; (ii) “Any environmental levy

payable in terms of this Section in respect of any goods specified therein shall be additional to any customs or excise duty payable in terms of Part 1 or 2 of Schedule No. 1”; and (iii) “Imported goods shall not be declared on separate bills of entry for the purposes of Parts 1, 2 and 3 of this Schedule”.

Trade expectations index confirms recovery next year By Joy Orlek As emerging economies become more aggressive, South Africa cannot be complacent about its status as the gateway to the rest of Africa. “Coming out of this recession is not only about our economy. We need to be keenly aware and closely aligned with what’s happening on the continent in order to protect our position,” said Neren Rau, chief executive officer of the SA Chamber of Commerce and Industry, which co-hosted last week’s Transnet Port Terminals’ business-to-business breakfast in Johannesburg. And while the business confidence index is not performing as well as would have been hoped, sticking to the 83

level that was last seen in January 2003, the trade expectations index is more encouraging, says Rau. The August Trade Activity Index improved two points to 44 points in August 2009. “This tells us about business performance – and our prediction that recovery will follow in the first few months of next year is accurate. It looks six months into the future and firmly and strongly predicts recovery early next year.” It won’t be easy and it will be protracted, warns Rau. “But we need to change our mindset and become recovery-focused – we need to focus on opportunities rather than challenges and be more aggressive.”

New breakbulk service leaves Anwerp this month There’s a new breakbulk liner service on the SA route. This follows the launch by SE Shipping Lines of its SE Three Oceans Line (3OL) connecting North Europe with the Pacific Islands, Oceania and Australasia, returning to Europe via South Africa.

Rwanda gets top billing in ‘ease of doing business’ stakes SA drops two positions to 34 It now takes a Rwandan entrepreneur just two procedures and three days to start a business. Imports and exports are more efficient, and transferring property takes less time thanks to a reorganised registry and statutory time limits. Investors have more protection, insolvency reorganisation has been streamlined, and a wider range of assets can be used as collateral to access credit. Mauritius, ranked 17 of the 183 economies covered by the

By Ed Richardson For the first time an African country – Rwanda – has headed the list of the World Bank’s “Overall Ease of Doing Business” survey. Rwanda was the world’s top reformer, based on the number and impact of reforms implemented between June 2008 and May 2009. The country reformed in seven of the 10 business regulation areas measured in the IFCWorld Bank Doing Business 2010 report.

report, is the top sub-Saharan economy for the second year in a row in terms of the overall regulatory ease of doing business. It adopted a new insolvency law, established a specialised commercial division within the court, eased property transfers, and expedited trade processes. Among the other “leading reformers” identified in the report were Angola, Cameroon, and Ethiopia; and South Africa which lowered taxes on domestic firms, and is ranked number 34.

Entries open for Gauteng Exporter of the Year award It’s that time of year again – the JCCINedbank 2009 Gauteng Exporter of the Year award. The competition is open to companies of all sizes – from small (up to R20m) to large (over R200m) – and includes a services sector and emerging exporter category.

‘New kid on the block’ offers custom-made solutions

TPT sideste and Gama

‘Not the forum’ says Letso

ICM Group set to open more offices

By Ray Smuts By Liesl Venter ICM Group may be the new kid on the block, but there is no stopping this new generation logistics company. Within 12 months of opening its doors the company has not just managed to avoid the impact of the dreaded global economic downturn, but has in fact grown business to the point that it already has offices in Shanghai, China, and in the Indian capital of Mumbai, while the next two months will see it spreading its wings to Sao Paulo in Brazil and Houston in the US. Says CEO Kiall Marsh: “Our objective is to grow the company to become a logistics brand that is not just recognised globally but that is respected.” Marsh and his team

admit that they are not traditionalists. “We don’t want to be just another logistics company, but rather a solutions-based company where we cater to the individual need of the client and tailor a package that caters just for them.” While the recession definitely impacted on the company – with volumes all but drying up late last year – it has all been part of the challenge of setting up a business, says Marsh. “As we are still a small company, it was easier for us to turn around and respond to the economic downturn as opposed to our big competitors. We also involved ourselves in as many diverse projects as possible while managing our cash flow well. We have placed a huge amount of focus on client-centricity.”

Kiall Marsh … ‘We don’t want to be just another logistics company, but rather a solutions-based company.’ Another reason for the company success is the core group of staff it has assembled, says Marsh. “We have a team of people on board who were willing to take a chance with us and their commitment has gone

a long way in moving the company forward. Not only do they make things happen, there is a definite can-do and will-do attitude amongst our staff.” According to Marsh there is no denying that the entire company approach has been different. “We specialise in creating custom solutions that are specific to a client rather than force-fitting a project into an off-the-shelf-solution. For us the entire supply chain is our responsibility and we approach every project in an individual way.” And while many companies may have scoffed initially, they are finally turning heads, says Marsh. “We are expecting the second year to be tough as our competition is starting to take notice of us. But we are more than ready for the challenge.”

Whether or not the plethora of (mostly) unwelcome Transnet publicity is impacting on business confidence in Transnet Port Terminals was clearly not down for discussion when the company hierarchy met with the Western Cape business sector last week. Nor was the appointment, many say long overdue, of a new Transnet group CEO following the February departure of Maria Ramos to head up the Absa banking group. Fielding questions after what has become a customary annual business-to-business presentation, Solly Letsoalo, TPT’s chief operating officer, dismissed FTW’s two-part question relating to the aforementioned issues, suggesting this was not the correct forum and that a new group CEO appointment ‘is’ a matter for the Transnet board.

Global trade crash hits top 20 ports

eps questions about new CEO suspension

The container volumes through the world’s Top 20 ports fell 15.5% in the first half of the year. Only two, Qingdao and Tianjin, posted increases, according to Paris-based shipping consultancy, AXS Alphaliner. The big losers were the European ports – with Rotterdam, for example, falling out of the Top 10 altogether. This is a far cry its glory days before 1987 when it was the world’s biggest container port. Hardest hit among the top ports was Hamburg, with a 28.7% drop to 3.6-million

oalo the same question to Albert Schuitmaker, chief executive of the Cape Chamber of Commerce and Industry, which co-hosts the annual TPT presentation, and to Fred Jacobs, Safmarine’s director of corporate affairs. Schuitmaker says: “I don’t think the lack of a CEO – other than a bit of emotional disruption – has had a major impact at this point in time. “Transnet obviously wants a permanent CEO in place as soon as possible but it must be the right person with the right credentials and if it is going to take a bit longer, so be it.” On the glare of publicity over the suspension of Transnet Freight Rail chief executive, Siyabonga Gama over alleged project irregularities, and his declared intention of seeking reinstatement via the courts, Schuitmaker says: “It’s not good for the promotion of the country but things need to be investigated

TEU throughput, and its global ranking falling from 12 to 15. Los Angeles-Long Beach also slipped a notch, while Ningbo dropped two levels and Bremerhaven one. Gains were made by Qingdao (up three places); Tianjin (up three); Busan (up one); Laem Chabang (up one); and Xiamen (up one). The Top 3 in this beleaguered league of container hub ports remained the same as last year, with Singapore taking number one spot; Shanghai still holding second; and Hong Kong now rating a distinctly distant third place.

With up to 7 300-kilometres of the Transnet Freight Rail (TFR) 20 000-km rail network up for grabs, who is going to be the buyer? Transnet has announced that this spare line will be sold to the private sector on a concession basis, but FTW investigation seemed to reveal that there are unlikely to be too many interested parties. Although the parastatal has confirmed the details to the parliamentary portfolio committee for public enterprises, there is still no public clarity about just what, and where, these 7 300-kms are. But, from the fact that Transnet has stated that it has a core of 12 800-km of main line track and 7 300-km of branch lines, it could be assumed that it’s these backwater spurs that will be for sale. Even more so because 3 350-km of these branch lines have already been shut down as uneconomic to run, and unwanted. “There’s always been a lot of specific branch lines for mills, mines, agricultural areas and the like,” said Lawrie Bateman, MD of MSC Logistics, a major SA rail operator. “I suppose farm co-ops, for example, may be interested, but I can’t see this sale coming

to much.” He also told FTW that, certainly, no-one had come knocking on MSC’s door and offering them lines of track. There’s a problem for any such purchase to prove itself viable, according to Bateman. It requires an expensive lot of heavyweight equipment, and has only a limited period of use in any time-frame. “Difficult for it to be costefficient,” he said. Another industry commentator who preferred to remain unnamed believes bulk operators could possibly be interested – coal, steel and the like – who already use rail to get bulk cargoes from the mines to their plants. He doesn’t, however, expect that it will apply to the container business. If the Durban-Johannesburg container line came up for sale, that would certainly generate a lot of interest, in his view. But for anything other than the profit-making, dedicated rail lines, there’s unlikely to be a rush of buyers. Minister of public enterprises, Barbara Hogan, has already given her approval in terms of the Public Finance Management Act. And, once ratified by cabinet, the tenders could be issued – something that Chris Wells, acting chief executive of Transnet, expected would be about year-end or early next year.

Multi-billion rand port projects will go ahead Transnet requires R4.7bn before next March By Ray Smuts Transnet Port Terminals’ multi-billion rand projects will go ahead, despite the current business environment, chief operating officer Solly Letsaolo told Western Cape business last week when he delivered the annual business-to-business presentation in Cape Town. CEO Tau Morwe was engaged in important parliamentary business, as acting Transnet Group CEO Chris Wells made a submission to the parliamentary portfolio committee for public enterprises. He said Transnet required an additional R4.7 billion before March 31 next year to enable it to maintain its R80.5 billion expansion programme, of which R47.5 billion (59%) is being spent on infrastructural projects. Business concerns about future port capacity and possible congestion were evident at the Mother City session, with the future of Saldanha other than as an iron ore exporter also in question. To which Letsaolo responded: “We are not sitting back.” He said a national infrastructure presentation dealing with possible future expansion was currently doing the rounds

to elicit public comment around the country. “If you look at their plans for Saldanha you will see things that will blow your mind, some container and breakbulk and other facilities, so there is a long-term TPT plan.” (Not available at this session). Transnet’s total investment in the Sishen-Saldanha iron ore channel is R8.1 billion, of which TPT is contributing R1.2 billion (still under consideration), to enable ore exports to increase from the current 46 million tons to 60 million a year. Nosipho Damasane, TPT’s general manager, sales, logistics and commercial undertook to call a meeting of all necessary Saldanha stakeholders within the next two months. She made the point that the port could not be expanded beyond current rail capacity, therefore any future expansion would have to be well synchronised and environmental concerns taken into account. She said the Transnet plan was to use longer ore trains to enable rail time slots for general cargo into the port. TPT’s investment in ports has increased from R131 million in the 2002 financial year to R3.2 billion in the last financial year.

BizText heralds new era of cost-effective SMS communication ‘Simple and easy to use’ By Liesl Venter Bringing down communication costs in the current economic climate is just one way of managing cash flow, especially for the small and medium enterprise market. It is for this reason that MTN has developed a cost-effective SMS communication solution which not only saves money but also ensures the small and medium enterprise market remains competitive and stays in touch with its customers, suppliers and employees. According to Natasha Basson, MTN senior manager: SME, the launch of MTN BizText heralds a new era of costeffective communication for

the small business. “It has been designed specifically for the individual and business that needs to communicate often with clients and allows complete control. It is not just cost-effective, but also simple and easy to use. It can also be tailored to suit your specific business needs.” Scheduling appointments and sending reminders or promotional messages can now be done simply by pushing a button, says Basson. Lauren Crosson from Core Solutions, the software company that developed the BizText programme for MTN, says what makes it such a valuable business tool is that it has been developed to be bi-directional.

Lauren Crosson from Core Solutions and Louisa Kodisang, MTN senior manager: marketing and communications, show beauty shop owner Meghann Carlisle the new MTN BizText programme. “Not only can you send your client an SMS, but they can reply to that SMS and all your communication is archived by the programme. Every SMS is date- and time-stamped so you have a legal record with clients.” Basson says BizText can be integrated with one’s existing database on a computer or one can develop a new database.

SMSes can be personalised and sent to only one person or to the entire database. “BizText not only cuts down on the communication budget as it is cheaper (an SMS on this system only costs 19 cents) but is also more time-efficient and has an immediate impact on the business.” Meghann Carlisle, owner

of Skin & Body Matters in Fourways, implemented the system and has already seen a major impact on her communication bill. “Because we are a small business, our margins are so much smaller. We have seen a drastic reduction in the cost of our communication with our clients.”

Last week’s top stories on www.cargoinfo.co.za Bad manners, lethargy – or both? Transnet Port Terminals ended its national businessto-business roadshows with a presentation in Johannesburg yesterday – a dismally attended event at the Hilton hotel. As the 8am start came and went amid mutterings by the organisers of traffic problems – which anyone living in Johannesburg would surely factor into travelling time – the

show proceeded to probably a third of the expected turnout, judging from the number of empty seats and unclaimed name tags. According to MC Solly Letsoalo, such was the interest in other centres like Cape Town that additional seating had to be found.

Sars won’t budge on wage offer The South African Revenue Service is adamant it will not increase a wage offer of between 9% and 11% following the rejection of the pay increase by two unions.

Bleak outlook for grounded bulk carrier Precautionary oil pollution preventive measures By Ray Smuts The inhospitable waters of the Cape coast may well have claimed another victim, with a bleak prognosis for the Panamanian-registered bulk carrier Seli 1, which ran aground in stormy weather near Blaauwberg on September 7. As a massive ship-to-ship operation got under way at week’s end to transfer the vessel’s 660 tons of heavy fuel into two recipient vessels, Ocean Pride and Kuswag IV, it was evident the 29-year-old ship had suffered severe structural damage. Dave Colley, principal officer for the South African Maritime Safety Authority (Samsa), says the vessel is “not in good shape” and that history has shown very few ships come off this coast intact. A Cape Town-based maritime lawyer who studied photographs of the stricken vessel, concludes: “This is an old ship and she is not coming off that beach in one piece. This is going to be

a wreck removal, not a salvage operation.” At the time of FTW’s Monday deadline, talks were still under way between salvage companies Smit Marine South Africa and Greek company Tsavliris over who has the contract to salvage the Turkish vessel. Smit maintains a verbal Lloyd’s Open Form was agreed to between the masters of the bulk carrier and the tug, Smit Amandla, while Tsavliris says it has a written, signed agreement

with TEB Maritime, the vessel’s owners. It is Smit, however, that has been charged by Samsa to remove the fuel load, the authority unconcerned over who lands the contract as long as the job gets done. A number of proactive precautionary measures have been put in place to reduce the impact of any oil pollution from the Seli 1, en route from Durban to Gibraltar with 30 000 tons of coal when disaster struck.

Sars strike

Despite the drastic fall-off in volumes from September to March, there is some cause for optimism at Transnet Port Terminals. Chief operating officer Solly Letsoalo told a Cape Town business-to-business briefing last week that volumes in all sectors were predicted to grow over the next five years with containers up 10%, to 4.8 million TEUs by 2013/14, bulk volumes up 9%, breakbulk 8% and automotive 5%. This after container port volumes dipped 12%, from 2.0l8 million TEUs to 1.782mn between September and March. Dry bulk was down slightly over the same period, 61 million metric tonnes from 62 million metric tonnes

but the worst performer was automotive, minus 24%. On rail volumes, general freight business was down 19%, from 42.7 million metric tonnes in September to 34.5 million metric tonnes between September and March, coal up slightly, 29.9 million to 32 million metric tonnes, and iron ore up from 15.9 million to 20.9 million metric tonnes. Letsoalo says no matter what some may think, South Africa faces competition from the likes of Dar es Salaam, Maputo, Walvis Bay, Luanda, Madagascar and Mauritius, all of which are essentially addressing the same market – that from Europe to Asia – and this is where Ngqura has an all-important role to play. South Africa is strategically positioned to handle some

cargo moving around the Cape from Europe to Asia and vice versa and Ngqura, as a hub. will create additional growth opportunities for the country. Letsoalo says from a cost perspective Ngqura will certainly benefit cargo owners as transhipment from Mauritius is much more expensive. He said Transnet remained committed to the ‘corridor approach’ in the interests of maximising growth opportunities across all its operating divisions (rail, port and pipeline). It is also committed to supporting Black Empowerment companies, a spend of R461 million in 2005 increasing to R1.9 billion last year and R556 million alone in the first quarter of this year.

hand knowledge of Lebombo agreed on Monday that, while the people were there as a presence, they were grinding things out prodigiously slowly. Said Kalshoven: “On Saturday, all the Sars staff looked to be back at work, but still processing very slowly. There’s now (Monday) a big backlog (some 40-50 trucks) standing waiting at the gate.” But the other areas of freight transport seem to have got off lightly. Although there were occasional glitches, both airfreight and seafreight seemed to be going relatively smoothly – although commentators were hesitating to give Sars thanks for their contingency plans. “I have not heard of any disasters,” said Alwyn Rautenbach, MD of Airlink cargo and chairman of the Air Cargo Operators’ Committee (Acoc). “Land borders seem to have been affected, but not the air cargo industry – except some slight delays.” But, Rautenbach added: “Everything in the air cargo industry is handled electronically, and the machines are not on strike.”

Container volumes dipped 12% from September to March.

From page 1 not too bad, but clashes between police and strikers were certainly delaying trucks. “Customs is not working as it would with a full complement,” he added, “and acquittals and the like are very, very slow.” Kalshoven had also heard stories then that demonstrators were due to be bussed in on Friday to heighten the protests (a rumour that was eventually confirmed by news releases on the Friday). “Beitbridge has definitely been hard hit,” said Barney Curtis, executive officer of the Federation of Southern African Road Transport Associations (Fesarta). No actual full-scale strike was taking place, he added, but staff was just not working at fullrate – and processes were being slowed up and queues of trucks were getting longer and longer. At the same time, Curtis was told that Sars was shifting staff from small border posts – which were themselves resultantly closed – to try to staff up the major border posts. But whether this worked is dubious. Both Kalshoven at Beitbridge and an FTW contact with first-
