DoT denies high cube ban plan By Joy Orlek The National Department of Transport has denied claims that the ban on the transport of high cube containers is to be reinstated in KwaZulu Natal from March 25. This was confirmed by KZN Road Traffic Inspectorate (RTI)

director John Schnell who described the information as ‘mischievous’. DoT spokesman Sam Monareng told FTW last week that he was not aware of any such plans. This follows an ‘unofficial’ warning received from the Road Freight Association that the start of the April

school holidays was D-day. “I believe the originators of the email are trying to pre-empt the situation to their advantage to secure a concession they are not entitled to on the basis of a precedent or what they claim to be a precedent. So the short answer is no – the ban will not be reinstated,”

Schnell told FTW. The row over the legality of transporting high-cube containers (with a travel height of 4.5-4.6 metres) on normal rather than lowbed truck trailers hit the headlines in December and threatened to bring the industry to a standstill. At the time the DoT said the

Govan clears up confusion over CT upgrade completion By Ray Smuts

year in light of ongoing negotiations for better project-related rates. He says the berth upgrade at 601 is complete, work on 602 is under way, berth 603 will be finalised by April 2012 and berth 604 completed by around March 2013. Although he would not go on record at the time as to the nature of the costsaving negotiations, it can be revealed they include further dredging. “What would benefit Transnet is that dredging costs are down internationally and this will assist us as there are still a few spots that need to be addressed in the container terminal and as a totally separate project, Duncan Dock itself.”

Watching Transnet’s ‘pennies’ lies at the heart of a delay to 2013 in completing the last of four upgraded berths at Cape Town Container Terminal. Despite claims at a Transnet Port Terminals briefing on March 4 that completion of the project was set for 2012, Sanjay Govan, Cape Town’s NPA port manager, told FTW: “To ease the cash flow, the project will now be completed in 2013.” This was in line with his comments to FTW in January that the terminal project would be delayed for up to a

“South Africa had an obligation to host all these conferences and as is the case with all such conferences, the host country is responsible for the costs,” he said. For the period January 1, 2006 to February 2010, the DoT hosted four international conferences which 1 800 delegates attended. FTW1907SD

The success of the Namibian Ports Authority (Namport), which manages the ports of Walvis Bay and Luderitz, to entice SADC nations to use those facilities is evident in the overall rise of volumes, but SA remains the only regional nation to use the ports to export perishables. When asked if the SADC campaign was paying off for regional perishable exports, Jo-Ann Stevens of Namport’s marketing department told FTW that SA exporters were shipping frozen meat through the port of Walvis Bay. Meat shipments are moved to port by road but the picture is a little broader when sea transport is factored in. “The South African shippers do make use of the port for frozen fish which comes from SA to Namibia by

sea in containers. But less frozen fish than frozen meat is shipped through the port of Walvis Bay,” Stevens said. SA shipping volumes through the port have grown substantially. During the 2008/2009 financial year cargo handled from SA to Namibia amounted to 3 080 787 tonnes. For the financial year now coming to an end, volumes have risen to 4 408 086 tonnes. There is no shortage of cold storage capacity at Walvis Bay to accommodate larger volumes of perishables. Following an expansion exercise, the port has five cold stores with a total capacity of 15 000 metric tonnes. The port warehouses have a combined capacity of 19 000 metric tonnes. 424 reefer plugs are on hand to power boxes, and Namport says electricity supplies are reliable.

AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY Distance from global markets and suppliers is one of the biggest challenges facing the South African auto industry – and because of this local manufacturers (with much prompting and not enough help from government) are focusing on local manufacture of components.

Delays over support for the industry (which has government support everywhere in the world) also threaten the long-term future of one of South Africa’s major employment sectors. This is recognised by the Department of Trade and Industry. What we now need to see is words translated into action.

Distance from global markets a major challenge.

Shared facilities for component production proposed Government wants to see exports grow By Ed Richardson There is a mixed report card for the South African auto industry. According to the latest Industry Policy Action Plan (IPAP) released by the Department of Trade and Industry in February this year, in 2008 the auto sector contributed R18-billion, or 1.6% of the total “manufacturing valueadded” in the economy. Despite some successes in exports, the industry had a negative trade balance of

R29.7-billion. Way more vehicles and components are shipped into the country than exported – which leaves the freight industry with piles of empty containers that have to be moved around the world before they can be filled again. Where the auto industry does add significant value, however, is in employment – over 131 000 jobs, or 5.9% of all manufacturing jobs in the country. It also contributed around 4.9% to GDP in 2007, and

attracts billions of rands in foreign investment a year. The government wants to see exports grow in order to reduce the sector's trade deficit and to preserve jobs. It is a big challenge – South Africa's total production of over half a million vehicles in a good year (or under 1% of global production) can easily be taken up in an increasingly competitive global auto market, which has a surplus of over 25 million new vehicles a year, depending on which estimate you use. Long-term sustainability

will come from production of over a million new vehicles a year by 2020, which is almost as big a challenge for the logistics industry as for the motor manufacturers themselves. Government is encouraging the growth of the components industry. Proposals for shared production facilities of common components are on the table. Here, one of the challenges is logistics. All the original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) will want their suppliers as close as possible

in order to reduce logistics costs and allow for just-insequence supply. There is, however, one strong argument that can be used in this centralisation of common components, such as alternators, filters, batteries, and the like. And that is that the shipping world is already delivering these parts from around the world to OEM plants just in time. The distance from Port Elizabeth to Rosslyn is a whole lot shorter than that from Sao Paolo to Rosslyn.

‘Local content must increase’ It would help to address costly trade imbalance As Rob Lord, Safmarine’s ‘Mr Auto’ considers the challenges and opportunities facing the automotive industry in 2010, he adds his support to the sentiments expressed by Naamsa president David Powels at the SA Automotive Week conference held in October last year. Powels told delegates that local content must increase from less than 40% to over 70% if the auto industry is to survive. Lord believes that growing South Africa’s auto support industries and expertise will not only grow the local auto industry as a whole, but also auto exports from South Africa. “Substantial investments have already been made in growing our local manufacturing base and increasing the number of

locally manufactured, fully built up vehicles exported from South Africa. “A reduction in import volumes combined with the increase in export volumes will also go some way to

‘Last year South African auto exports dropped by almost 40%, partly due to the collapse of global markets.’ addressing the current imbalance of the trade, which is costly to both shipping lines and OEMs,” says Lord. “Reducing the number of vehicle components that need to be imported will also help reduce overall manufacturing costs as transport currently accounts for a large percentage of

the OEMs’ procurement budget.” Last year South African auto exports dropped by almost 40%, partly due to the collapse of global markets but also because South Africa was unable to compete on cost with the auto manufacturers in Asia. However, Lord says the news that Ford Motor Company of South Africa (FMCSA) plans to invest R1.5 billion in the local production of a newgeneration Ford pick-up as well as the manufacture of the Puma diesel engine (scheduled to start production this year), bodes well for the local industry. “Not only is Ford looking to produce large volumes (around 70-90 000 units per annum) but the company also plans to export around 70% of the locally produced

hemisphere and supply parts to South America. The bulk of South Africa’s auto exports currently move to ‘traditional’ markets such as Europe and the USA. “While the increased exports are good news for shipping, it is equally good for South Africa as the Ford replacement pick-up and Puma engine projects will create jobs and boost skills,” says Lord. The Puma diesel engine is currently being manufactured in Turkey but South Africa is being earmarked as a major supplier. Lord says FMCSA will produce around 270 000 Puma units, of which approximately one third will be for local use in the replacement pick-up production and the balance of two thirds for export.

Logistics costs a roadblock to recovery By Ed Richardson Things are starting to look up for shipping and logistics companies servicing the South African auto market – but logistics costs remain a major roadblock. “Exports have improved despite the overseas market – particularly Europe – still recovering,” says Clint Carmichael of NYK Line in Durban. But, adds Lawrie Bateman, director of MSC Logistics, “SA auto manufacturers are under pressure from worldwide manufacturers to produce vehicles at a cost that is competitive.” “It's encouraging to see new contracts being secured for new models which will assist with the overall export volumes increasing for 2010. It is also encouraging to see the recent announcement through

FTW1908SD FTW1908SD

Naamsa (National Association of Automobile Manufacturers of South Africa) that the motor manufacturers will double their investment to R4.62 bn for 2010, he told FTW. “The first two months of 2010 have shown that new vehicle sales are very positive – actually February sales are the highest since October 2008,” says Bateman. Asked how the logistics industry could help reduce the logistics costs that make South Africa less competitive due to the distance to market and major areas of supply, Carmichael has two suggestions. “First is the actual port costs – the fact is that the cost of port calls into South Africa have increased substantially, not only on shipping lines’ port costs but shipping and landing costs which are paid by the motor

manufacturer. “This prevents lines from making additional port calls which in turn places pressure on the landside logistics. “Which brings me to the second point – inland transportation costs on both rail and road deliveries are relatively expensive if you measure it in the total logistics chain. Both of these aspects go hand in hand – if the port call costs were reduced, lines could look at multiple ports which would take the pressure off road/rail, creating additional capacity that would more than likely create further competition resulting in cheaper rail/road tariffs. “Both of these factors have contributed to shipping lines and motor manufacturers looking at alternative ‘cheaper’ options like Maputo. “Whilst Maputo has created an aspect of competition,

we believe more needs to be done in terms of creating competition within South Africa's own port system,” he said. MSC has been looking for solutions within the current status quo: “We are way ahead as we have strategic depot facilities within a five kilometre radius of two of the

major SA auto manufacturers,” says Bateman. NYK also adapts to the needs: “During the course of last year several NYK services reduced their call frequency to South Africa. However with positive signs in this sector we have increased frequency which will already be effective from March 2010.

‘Logistics industry needs to get involved’ By Ed Richardson Logistics receives scant mention in the Industrial Policy Action Plan (IPAP) released in February this year. One of the only mentions is in the section on plastics converter plants, where an identified constraint is “South Africa's geographic position and resultant logistics costs”. The same constraints hold true for all manufacturers of new vehicles and components. With a focus on boosting local component manufacturing by both government and the original equipment manufacturers, there is a need for the logistics industry to be engaged in the plans.

By focusing on joint sourcing in five “key” subsectors such as electronics, body parts, interiors, exteriors, chassis and drivetrain, the Department of Trade and Industry wants to “deepen and raise economies of scale”. Studies into where the opportunities lie are expected to be completed by the first quarter of next year, with manufacturing due to start in the third quarter of 2011. The plans hold both opportunities and threats for the freight industry – opportunities for internal supply of raw materials, parts and components, and threats from reduced import volumes if the plans are successful.

Local truck assembly on the planning boards

There should, however, be some offset through growing exports of components. In order to compete against the likes of China and India, government plans to raise the level of competitiveness of the the component manufacturers through “benchmarking, gap identification and assistance to close competitiveness gaps by engineers/advisers and post intervention assessment”. Small and emerging third and fourth tier manufacturers will be included in the support structure. But, without efficient logistics to get the components from the factory gate to the assembly plant, no amount of technical wizardry will succeed.

By Ed Richardson Road hauliers may soon be able to include locally made trucks in their fleets if the government's plans to restart local assembly make it out of the gate. The Industrial Policy Action Plan (IPAP) released in February this year admits: “The medium and heavy commercial vehicle (MHVC) sector has not received adequate policy attention. “There are opportunities to resuscitate bus

production in South Africa as well other MHCVs, leveraging opportunities such as the roll-out of Bus Rapid Transport Systems in Metros and the growing demand for other MHCVs in relation to areas such as infrastructure, construction, mining and possibly agricultural demand,” says the report. This includes a stronger focus on so called ‘yellow metals’ manufacturers of products such as articulated dump trucks.

Auto industry upbeat about prospects for 2010/11 Infrastructure investment will impact positively on costs While Europe, Australia and the Far East were worst affected by the drop in volumes for automotive exports, the USA was not as severely affected, according to Safmarine’s automotive expert Rob Lord. “This because the US market for South African auto exports was, to some extent, sheltered from the downturn.” The total of South African FBU (fully-built up) exports for 2009 was down 38.4% whereas for the US

market the drop was 25.1% . However, Lord is upbeat about the prospects for 2010 and 2011. “Although sales of new cars are likely to remain fairly flat, significant investment is being made in new projects which will have a positive impact on the market. Everyone is hoping for growth but growth will, of course, depend on pricing.” Freight rates were severely pressurised throughout 2009 and Lord expects

the pressure to continue as OEMs look to achieve savings in ocean freight, which currently accounts for a large percentage of their procurement budget because of the high level of imports. And improved infrastructure will play a role. “Automotive cargo is particularly time-sensitive. There is an enormous cost associated with diverting ships when ports are congested and OEMs need

to hold extra stock to accommodate delays in the transport chain (so as not to affect production). “The present high level of investments being made in

key infrastructure – ports, road and rail – will have a positive effect on the industry because it will help the entire industry become more globally competitive.”

IT has huge role to play in automotive industry

Seamless solutions Sydney Ramoorthy ... ‘System provides a link between the agent’s internal operational system and other pertinent participants.’

Never underestimate the power of information technology and what it can do for a business. Sydney Ramoorthy, who heads up new business development at Core Freight Systems, believes by correctly leveraging information technology companies can create great opportunities for themselves across the supply chain. While most industries can benefit from enhanced IT systems, one industry where the use of information technology is making a huge difference is the automotive industry. “South Africa competes with many international vehicle manufacturing facilities and we need to attract our fair share of the international manufacturing allocation that is available,” says Ramoorthy. “Clearly improvements in supply chain efficiency will assist in this. It is important that South African freight forwarding and Customs clearing agents operating in the automotive industry ensure that they are able to

actively contribute to the required integration, not only to promote the competiveness of their individual clients but also this significant area of the local economy. This applies equally to both the imports and exports trade”. Ramoorthy says having a system on hand to facilitate the process is of extreme importance. “In addition to promoting the efficiency within a typical agent’s internal operations, the Core Freight application is designed, though the CoreXchange module, for the cost effective transfer of data in and out of the primary application,” says Ramoorthy. It thus provides a link between the agent’s internal operational system and other pertinent participants in the overall supply chain. “This functionality is proven for clients conducting automotive business,” says Ramoorthy. “From the automated import of suppliers’ invoice data, notice of exbond releases and generation of sophisticated costing, output efficiencies have become apparent, driving down the cost of processing and improving the quality and speed of data availability.” But, he says, the functionality is not restricted to interfacing data with partners with highly sophisticated automated processes. The use of Excel provides an ideal start to “integrating” into the supply chain for users of the Core Freight application. “We believe that the lessons learned though the automotive industry can be applied to improve the supply chain efficiency of individual businesses in South Africa, and hence the country as a whole,” he says.

Volkswagen South Africa has extended its Polo export business to include LHD deliveries to Europe. “We now anticipate exporting approximately 71 500 New Polos to key RHD markets around the world as well as LHD units to Europe,” said MD David Powels. The company started exporting the all New Polo to Right Hand Drive countries globally in 2009. By year end, 19 000 New

Polos had been exported to the United Kingdom, Ireland, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, New Zealand, Cyprus and Malta. At the same time, it announced a 2010 export plan for the New Polo of 55 000 units to these key RHD markets. “This is a huge vote of confidence on the part of the Volkswagen Group on our manufacturing capability in our Uitenhage Plant,” says Powels.

The company has also doubled its warehouse capacity and moved into new offices in Kempton Park. The signing up of MK Airlines follows new contracts with Air Seychelles and Air Malawi in recent months.

The space at the expanded OR Tambo airport cargo facility has been designed around a one-stop shop idea where management and general staff are literally at the client’s fingertips. “We have integrated the workspace and there are no barriers between management and the general staff. We have designed a new front office where our clients can access our staff easily and also pick up goods from the warehouse. The whole set-up makes more sense and allows for a more efficient working environment,” said Anandkumar. Malcolm Beulink, operations manager, and Jonathan Kershaw, import manager, join business assistant Toggie Mashigo at the front desk of Aero-Link Consulting at its new office and warehouse premises in Kempton Park.

Dollarisation kickstarts Zimbabwe trade growth Key sectors mobilising By Joy Orlek The light has turned from red to amber. That’s how Duncan Bonnett, researcher at Africa information specialists Whitehouse & Associates, describes trade prospects with Zimbabwe. But while goods are beginning to flow once again thanks to dollarisation of the economy which has helped stabilise inflation and has given exporters more confidence about being paid in a currency in which they can trade, political uncertainly remains a major obstacle. “The international community is very keen to see the political impasse resolved once and for all, but one half of the unity government is still bent on economic policies that are not sustainable,” says Bonnett. An example is the recent indigenisation act, guaranteeing 51% Zimbabwe ownership of all businesses

worth over US$ 500 000 – a move that has huge implications for foreign and local investment. From an SA perspective Zimbabwe remains one of our top export destinations, overtaken by Mozambique and followed by Zambia. “What you’re starting to see, however, is a slight shift towards what you had 10 years ago in terms of the export profile. Machinery, mechanical appliances, inputs into the manufacturing and agricultural sectors, and consumer goods like vehicles were the strongest part of our export basket. That shifted over the last decade to fuel, electricity and basic food commodities – so if you looked at the global picture of exports into Zimbabwe from South Africa it seemed to be business as usual. But the actual composition of that export basket changed quite dramatically and reflected a country in crisis.” The slow change in that

export pattern reflects the opportunities that investors see in the country, says Bonnett. “And those opportunities are across the board – from mining to tourism, hotels, ICT and some sectors of agriculture like sugar and cut flowers.” But it’s not an easy market. Apart from the political stumbling block, infrastructure has been badly neglected and two areas of critical importance are power and water and sanitation. “You can’t manufacture without electricity – which has been badly hit – and you need water and sanitation for industrial and consumer purposes,” says Bonnett. The road infrastructure is less of a problem, although it has deteriorated over the last decade, and in his view, the physical infrastructure outside of power and water is probably still better than many other parts of Africa – and would be easier to

rehabilitate than a postconflict Mozambique, for example. The mining industry too is beginning to revive. “It’s looking at re-establishing itself in Zimbabwe – and from an SA perspective a lot of mine operators and procurement agents are based in South Africa, which presents significant export opportunities.” Clearly the outlook is more positive than it has been for some time – which is good news not only for shippers but for transport and logistics operators on the route. Dollarisation has reduced

the ‘Alice in Wonderland’ economics that prevailed, and created a more stable and predictable environment, which is a good start, says Bonnett. “You will see people positioning themselves in the market. The hospitability industry is beginning to put its roots down in anticipation of things improving.” And while there’s unlikely to be a sudden mushrooming of massive opportunity until there is a lot more certainty around the political impasse and regulatory environment, prospects have clearly not looked as good for some time.”

Skills retention in aviation industry a major challenge By Liesl Venter The loss of highly competitive and necessary skills in the aviation industry remains of major concern to government, says Anwar Gany, chief director: civil aviation in the Department of Transport. Speaking at the monthly Transport Forum in Johannesburg recently, Gany said training for the

aviation industry was not just an extremely expensive endeavour, but was also posing a challenge in how the country was to keep the trained skills. “We are competing with dollars and euros, and it is human nature to go where the wage package is the best. Because our training in South Africa is of such a high calibre, we are finding that our skills are being depleted by

Winners on and off the field! At Compu-Clearing it’s not all about computers and programming – as its versatile staff demonstrated recently. As one of the sponsors of soccer team BIDVest Wits – along with BIDVest, Discovery, British Airways, Southern Sun, Konica Minolta, Vodacom and Dettol – the freight bureau demonstrated its

prowess on the soccer field when it took the winning trophy in a sponsors’ tournament. Professional players joined members of staff from the sponsoring companies – which in Compu-Clearing’s case included men and women – to make up the teams. And for Compu-Clearing it was another victory!

other countries.” He said while South Africa had enough capacity to address its own needs, it was however imperative that the aviation industry looked at ways of keeping skills in South Africa. “And we are not just talking pilots here. When we take air traffic controllers, South Africa has become renowned for its training and we have

some of the best controllers in the world. But we are finding ourselves investing in an individual for several years, just for that person to be snapped up by another country.” He said this was not an issue the transport industry faced alone, with nurses, doctors and teachers also being poached on a large scale.

Gany said much dialogue was taking place within the DoT to find long-term solutions to the loss of skills in the aviation industry, where specialised training was imperative. “Government is not sitting back and watching this happen. There are processes in place to address this problem and to find a workable solution for everyone involved.”

Insurer upbeat – but don’t expect a bumper year By Joy Orlek

“It made it a lot more difficult to attack new business because competitors were holding on that much tighter by reducing rates. “Add to that the fact that companies’ turnovers were down – and since our revenue is based on a percentage of turnover, the extent of the impact is evident.” Despite the challenges the industry managed to weather the storm, albeit with

reduced profits. And because there is such a dire skills shortage in the marine insurance field, there were no staff cutbacks – rather staff who are generally drowning were able to cope. The outlook, says Brews, is better than last year. “But,” he warns, “it won’t be a bumper year. Expect more of a recovery phase as the industry deals with the shellshock of 2009.”

Sars triumphs in wigs Supreme Court case heading 67.04 on the other hand refers to ‘wigs, false beards, eyebrows and eyelashes, switches and the like, of human or animal hair or of textile materials; articles of human hair not elsewhere specified or included ’. Earlier this month the SCA upheld an appeal by the Sars Commissioner against a decision of the North Gauteng High Court concerning the correct tariff classification for customs duty purposes of synthetic fibres, stitched as wefts, and used to adorn hair. The high court held that the particular products, imported from the People’s Republic of China, were used in the making of wigs and were therefore not dutiable, not being finished products. The

SCA considered, however, that the wefts in question, which are used to create the appearance of a wig by attaching them to a person’s own hair or to the scalp, were not components of a wig, or the like, but finished articles. The fact that expertise and time was needed to attach them to hair or to a scalp did not mean that a new product was made when the final appearance of a wig was achieved. The SCA therefore upheld the Sars’ Commissioner’s contention that the particular wefts should be classified under a tariff heading that attracted customs duty.

From page 1 harbour carriers’ division of the SA Association of Freight Forwarders in KwaZulu Natal and the RFA. Business Unity South Africa recently sent a strongly worded letter to the Department of Transport calling for an urgent lifting of the selective ban on high cubes. “The total height of a high cube loaded onto standard transport trailers exceeds the limit set in South Africa’s transport regulations by around 300 millimetres,” said Busa CEO Jerry Vilakazi. ‘”The total height, however, is still below that of a double-decker bus or a standard car carrier, both of which are exempt from the height restriction and are therefore legally allowed to operate on public roads. “Busa is not aware of any problems with low bridges on the major routes used for the transport of containers,” said Vilakazi. If transporters are

in due course with relevant stakeholders.” On change management, Motlohi points to its relevance given that TPT’s Cape Town complement has been through much change over the past six months – the switch from Cosmos to Navis, and at the same time straddle carriers replaced by an RTG operation. “We have now embarked

required to use low-bed trailers this would mean manufacturers would have to design and build new trailers at immense cost, he added. The bottom line, says Vilakazi, is that 90% of containers will soon conform to the high cube dimensions. “In addition the new handling equipment installed in all our ports is designed to handle high cubes. All trading countries in the world are managing the transport of high cube containers and in many instances are also transporting them on similar trailers.” Busa has therefore proposed that the regulations on height restrictions be amended to legalise the movement of ISO high cubes – along similar lines to the exemption for doubledecker buses. “This should be preceded by a renewed moratorium until the regulations come into effect.”

It’s been a busy few months for the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA), with three customs cases already scheduled this year – compared to two for the whole of 2009. The first, heard in February, involved the Commissioner for South African Revenue Service (Sars ) and Fascination Wigs. It related to a dispute in terms of Section 49(9) (a)(i)(aa) of the Customs and Excise Act over whether certain synthetic hair products imported by Fascination Wigs were classifiable under tariff heading 67.03 or tariff heading 67.04 of Schedule No 1, Part 1”. This part of the Act relates to ‘ordinary customs duty’ and tariff heading 67.03 refers to ‘human hair, dressed, thinned, bleached or otherwise worked; wool or other animal hair or other textile materials, prepared for use in the making of wigs or the like’.
