‘It’s a matter of survival’ ‘Rate restoration is the only option for shipping lines’ By Terry Hutson It’s simply a matter of survival, says Captain Salvatore Sarno, chairman of Mediterranean Shipping Company. Announcing the implementation of a rate restoration of US$ 200 per TEU ($400 per 40ft) on the company’s north/south weekly service between Northwest Europe and South Africa as well as the Far East-South Africa (Cheetah) service, he told FTW that lines were losing money with every voyage they make. “One just needs to do the maths – every voyage equals a loss to the lines of between one and two million dollars, and it cannot be sustained indefinitely. “All shipping remains in a very bad way. In the past 12 months rates have actually gone down although the cost of everything else has increased. There’s been a steady erosion of freight rates so what we are doing now should not be seen as increasing the rates but restoring them, and we have to do it to survive.” He said the lines had examined every possible way of economising, including

sailing at slower speeds and consolidating services, but with container volumes dropping by an overall average of 20% there is a point where the only thing left to do is to look at the question of rates. “MSC is sending a signal to the market and to its competitors that it is time to restore shipping rates to at least a level similar to what they were eight to 10 years ago. That’s what this current restoration is doing – it is bringing the cost of shipping a container back to what it was in 2000. That’s the amazing thing. In this period the cost of everything else has gone up, except what it costs to ship a container across the world. “This rate restoration is therefore a ‘must’ for our business and the industry, but we are keeping it at an acceptable level. We are not trying to profit from this but rather to avoid making these excessive losses that we’ve suffered. We are now one year down the road of the worst economic crisis the world has seen for generations and the lines cannot go on forever.” The rate restoration on the South Africa-Europe service takes effect on September 18.

TPT productivity boost Months of intensive market research is behind Transnet Port Terminals’ (TPT) multi-million rand acquisition of 66 new ‘cornerless bathtub’ trailers, designed and manufactured by Pretoriabased Afrit. Sixty trailers have been delivered to Cape Town container terminal as part of the facility’s R4.2-billion capacity creation project, and six to the Pier 1 container terminal in Durban. The trailers are intended to streamline operations and speed up container turnaround times, and alsoprovide a safer method of moving containers from ship-to-shore, according to Ernest Bell, commercial specialist in TPT’s procurement department. The management, he told FTW, had made a strategic decision to approach local original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) of trailers directly, and cut out middlemen.

Auto industry continues to invest Latest figures reflect gloomy picture Despite the slowdown in sales, the good news for the freight sector is that the South African auto industry is continuing to invest for the future, according to the latest quarterly review by the National Association of Automobile Manufacturers of South Africa (Naamsa). In his review of the second quarter of 2009, Naamsa director Nico Vermeulen says the seven major original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in South Africa are expected to invest around R3.6-billion on plant,

equipment and land. “The capital expenditure projection for 2009 will be revised upwards in light of higher investment expenditure by one major OEM,” he added. Imports and exports of components and fully built up vehicles make up an important percentage of work for the freight industry. It is expected that exports of fully built up vehicles will drop from 195 670 in 2008 to 130 000 this year. Imports will have dropped from 203 808 to an estimated 152 000. Volumes are not expected to recover soon, warns Vermeulen in his report.

LETTER

Fuel theft is rife – don’t be fooled! I refer to the article titled ‘Fuel theft claims severely exaggerated’ (FTW August 14, 2009). Mr Martin’s comments concerning fuel theft appear to have been made without much research into the real truth. With respect to Mr Martin and his partner, they only own semi trailers which run in and around the Port of Durban. They hire in sub-contractors to pull their semi-trailers and are really not affected whether the truck owner loses diesel or not. Those mechanical horses which they hire in do not carry long range fuel tanks and probably carry no more than 250-350 litres at best. In the months preceding the sale of our trucking company, our attention was drawn to our actual fuel consumption figures by the company doing the presale, due diligence study on our company. Our policy for fuel management was always

Emille Kamffer

to use an average fuel consumption band between high and low consumption. Considering the diversity of our national and international routes, the varying types and masses of loads, and that the fuel consumption had been fairly constant over the life-span of the mechanical horses, we were satisfied that we had never suffered any significant fuel theft. However, as a precaution, we immediately issued drivers with rationed amounts of fuel and kept strict, detailed records of distances and fuel usage etc. In the very first month of fuel rationing, our figures improved between 15% and 20%! We were so shocked that we interviewed each one of our 27 drivers independently. Out of the 27 drivers, I received 24 sworn, written confessions stating that on every single trip to Johannesburg the drivers would call into one of three different fuel siphoning points where the operators

would siphon from 25-50 litres of diesel, and the drivers would be paid in cash. We even had professionally supplied anti-theft devices built into the fuel tanks, but this was no problem for the fuel thieves!….By extrapolating the average litres at an average fuel price for the year, we calculated that we were suffering from R1.5 million to R2m stolen from under our noses every year. It should be noted that the fuel price at that time was 40%-45% less than the current fuel price. It is impossible to know that 25-50 litres are missing from a set of fuel tanks totalling 600-800 litres, which is what most long-distance mechanical horses carry. The story concerning fuel theft being rife is absolutely true. I hope that this emphasises the point that your article raised at the outset. Trucker

A few loopholes as Security 108 gets into gear

What any training co For those looking for Part 108 security training courses, make sure you don’t buy more than you need, said Bob Garbett, chairman of the Business Aviation Association of SA (Baasa). The guideline to Part 108 insists on only four sections required in any training course: • Air cargo security familiarisation training (informal), required to be undergone by all who handle cargo or cargo documentation

Concerns raised over X-ray as exclusive control Although the implementation procedure of the Part 108 security legislation for air cargo has been relatively painless for the air cargo industry, according to Bob Garbett, MD of Professional Risk Management and chairman of the Business Aviation Association of SA (Baasa), there are still potential gaps in the security chain. While he patted the South African Civil Aviation Authority (Sacaa) inspectors on the back for their close co-operation and hard work during the initial phase, he felt that there was still a way to go before the whole system was as foolproof as it was meant to be. One example is that the Sacaa is not yet applying strict compliance inspections. “But,” said Garbett, “we are advised that this will happen shortly.” He also noted that, although

the requirement for formal hand search training was introduced four weeks ago – with Category 12 dangerous goods training necessary along with a formal hand search training course – the regulation was not fully up and running. “The contents and curriculum of the latter are presently being considered by the Sacaa,” said Garbett. “In the meantime, the authority accepts that hand search can be executed without formal training – on condition that training is given at the first possible opportunity.” And, while there are currently over 50 “regulated agents” (excluding the branches of these agents) and 19 “known consignors” shown on the Sacaa website, this public display of names has also been challenged. “The authority,” said Garbett, “has been formally requested to remove the list of known consignors from its website as this is not only a

security risk, but could also be a source of sales leads.” He also suggested that – with the numbers of known consignors steadily increasing – this will be putting great strain on the time resources of the Sacaa inspectorate. “This trend,” Garbett added, “will continue for many months to come, and will eventually result, in my view, in consignor validators outside the Sacaa being appointed.” Another concern is the question of the use of X-ray by air carriers (and certain forwarding agents), as an exclusive – or stand-alone – security control. “X-ray cannot detect certain kinds of explosive and nor is it likely that X-ray screen monitoring personnel will be able to detect a well-disguised improvised explosive device (IED),” Garbett told FTW. “Compliance with the principles and provisions of International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) Annexure 17 and Part 108

in the air cargo chain has yet fully complied with the security demands of the regulations has also been noted as a concern by Baasa. “There are still fence sitters amongst agents, air carriers and consignors,” said Garbett. “But air cargo security requires the co-operation, vigilance and application of the integrated security principles contained in Part 108 by all concerned. The security chain should have no weak links - as one weak link affects all of us.” Garbett also pointed to training requirements having become confused. “It is unfortunate,” he said,

require that as much cargo as is possible is securityprocessed through a known and secure conduit from consignor to aircraft. “This compliance is the critical security factor which, if ignored or bypassed, voids the very purpose of the regulations.” “The application of only ONE active security control to make cargo known defeats the objective of these security measures.” The fact that not everyone

Duration depends on grading. “that certain aviation training organisations have chosen to advertise and conduct courses which are not required under Part 108.” He suggested that those looking for appropriate training courses should not be sold more than they need. The training requirements under Part 108, he told FTW, are simple and clearly defined in the guidebook to the regulations (See box above).

Operators examine their options Shippers urged to become known consignors By Joy Orlek Along with the rest of the airfreight industry – but maybe more so – gearing up for the Security 108 regulations has been a major challenge for perishable specialists, says Skyservices MD Bernd Jülicher. “We believe it has potential from a security point of view and will provide a competitive advantage should it be implemented in a professional manner. Skyservices has been regulated in Johannesburg and Cape Town and is currently investigating its options in terms of future long-term cargo screening options,” director sales, marketing and operations Jaco Vlok told FTW. “Being low season we can screen the cargo 100%

ourselves before we lodge it. “We’re deciding whether to go for X-ray machines or a sniffer dog service and have already invested significantly in CCTV cameras, security gates and staff training. “Some agents have ordered scanning machines but during high season you could have four interlinks with 26 pallets of grapes – and all the pallets must be broken down which translates into a lot of handling and temperature abuse,” says Vlok. “There’s another product called an itemiser which is dragged over the cargo and is highly sensitive to any hazardous substances it may contain.” Then there’s the option of sniffer dogs. In the perishable industry the important considerations are timing and handling and the solution will need to find

In the perishable industry the important considerations are timing and handling. the best compromise in terms of these priorities. “We are also encouraging shippers to become known consignors because this will

Stringent global quality control puts pressure on growers Products must also pass the environmental test By Ray Smuts Unstinting attention to producing top quality fruit able to pass muster by world standards poses huge ongoing demands on South Africa’s 6 000-odd fruit growers, says Stuart Symington, CEO of the Fresh Produce Exporters’ Forum. Symington, whose organisation represents the country’s major fruit players, around 65 of them accounting for more than 70% of all fruit exports, points to evermore stringent demands on the acceptability of produce, whether from South Africa, Chile or Australia or any other growing region. “There can be no doubting new scientific techniques, such as those in Japan, which I would call a comparison between forensic medicine and forensic phyto-sanitary detection to show up substances we did not expect to find in our fruit,

FTW0017SP

such as a harmless packhouse sanitisation hand liquid. “Growers therefore have to be more vigilant about the chemicals used and the manner in which they wash their fruit – and if something does not qualify for the market, they must not pack it. “In Europe last year we had more than 100 interceptions of our citrus, and a recent visiting EU delegation has expressed the wish to look at our systems and advise on the remedial action we must take.” More evidence is emerging day by day of the leading retail bosses demanding product that is more ethically produced and fully cognisant of all environmental issues. The onus, he points out, is therefore “fairly and squarely” on the shoulders of South Africa’s growers to ensure that no questions are asked once product is packed and ready for shipping. “Our exporters rely

tremendously on growers to be totally ethical and honest about the rules of the road.” The FPEF expects total fruit exports this year to be slightly down on 2008, to some 2.1 million tonnes accounting for revenues of R10.5 billion. Symington subscribed with a measure of caution to the ‘green shoot’ theory coined by former US Federal Reserve chairman, Alan Greenspan, that the future may be on the up and up. “The guys (and girls) who are doing well and hanging in there will come out straining at the leash. Everybody is licking their wounds for now but they will get up and walk again.” Symington does not subscribe to a ‘blanket’ theory that the South African government, as a whole, has failed the fruit industry, pointing to sterling assistance from the department of Science and Technology and the department of trade, among others.

Export-ready ... exporters rely tremendously on growers to be totally ethical and honest about the rules of the road.

Walvis Bay hits productivity high point The Port of Walvis Bay is setting new records – hitting its highest productivity level of the year handling the vessel, Maersk Izmir 0908. Its crane speed topped 37.57 moves per hour measured against the number of containers handled from the vessel. This, said Agnetha Mouton, business development officer of parent company, the Walvis Bay Corridor Group, saw

687 containers – both 20-foot and 40-ft – handled, and achieved a vessel turnaround time of less than 18 hours. The port has invested in the acquisition of state-of-the-art equipment, such as mobile cranes, during the past 15 years, she added, ensuring that these high productivity levels increasingly attract more shipping lines to call at the port.

High prices sweeten sugar export hopes By James Hall With global sugar prices expected to rise to the highest levels since 1981, regional sugar producers are hoping to increase exports once more. Sugar remains Swaziland’s top export in terms of volume, but the industry has suffered from lower global prices in recent years. Sales were down 2% last year, but profits were up 25% as the exporting plantations showed market savvy, shifting focus from lower-priced buyers in the SA Customs Union and the US to EU buyers willing to pay more. Road freight firms like Cargo Carriers transport bulk sugar from

plantations in the Eastern lowveld to Durban. Little has been realised from efforts to create “value added” products from the crop to boost export earnings from pricier products like ethanol and molasses. “Even when gas prices went through the roof nothing was done with a pilot programme to distill ethanol from sugar cane. This isn’t a bad thing with the sugar price going up because that means more raw sugar is available for the international market, and more for us to carry,” the manager of one road freight transporter told FTW. Swaziland angered SA trade authorities recently by signing an EPA with the EU that safeguarded Swazi sugar’s European market.

Keeping SA wine on the export menu

Razvan Macici By Ray Smuts There is nothing illusionist about Razvan Macici’s magicmaking, as he transforms

quality grapes into fine wines that continue to win recognition around the globe. Macici is the cellarmaster of the historic Nederburg Estate

Providing world class services in challenging environment in over 100 years…

at Paarl, tasked with creating what many will say are liquid gems in their own right. Founded in 1792 but only in the wine bottling business for the past 72 years, the giant that is Nederburg has, in the estimation of renowned wine critic John Platter, “raised Cape wine consciousness like no other.” Part of the Distell Group, Nederburg does not, as a matter of policy, disclose volumes produced or sold. But international marketing manager, Rudolph du Toit, says it produces wine across the price spectrum (unlike some wineries that tend to focus on the premium market). South Africa remains the single biggest market but Europe, particularly Germany and the UK, are also important. Macici, 41, born and trained in wine-making in Romania (he holds a Masters in viticulture and oenology), says of South African wines that they continue to perform

extremely well in key export markets and in world terms from a quality perspective. For the 12 months to April, this year, the country exported just over 403.3 million litres of wine, to reflect a year-on-year growth of 17%. Sales to the UK, where South Africa commands a 5% share of the overall market, were up 27%, to Sweden 26% and to Germany 12%. Macici, modest about Nederburg’s many kudos for excellence, says: “We don’t make wine for awards but for the pleasure of their enjoyment. What matters most is whether people are choosing, drinking and delighting in our wines.” It’s pretty much a multicultural enterprise at Nederburg, with keen painter and cook Macici heading up the creative side of the operation. South African Elunda Basson makes the red wines and Zimbabwean Tariro Masayiti – trained in winemaking in South Africa – the whites.

“Winemaking,” says the father of two, “is an act enriched through repetition. Each time you make a wine you are finessing your craft, bringing it the weight of experience and intuition. The character of the grape is paramount.” Nederburg’s cellarmaster since 2001, Macici is enormously conscious of his responsibility to uphold the name of Nederburg and its rich history and tradition. As to whether wine is making an impact on a traditionally beer drinking South Africa, Macici says not only is a wider diversity of adults becoming exposed to the pleasures of wine – there is also a greater accent on responsible consumption as producers move to introduce their wines to new drinkers. Evidence of this is the wine shows and likeminded activities in Soweto, Polokwane and other areas, where consumption tends more to beer and spirits.

Shippers resist lines’ rate increases

Last week’s top stories on

Shipyard calls it a day Increased competition from shipbuilding industries in the Far East and China has forced AP Moller Maersk to cease all activity at its Odense Steel Shipyard in Denmark once its current orderbook is completed. Rogues of the air in Africa A number of air cargo companies, based in the former Soviet Union, are shipping small arms to unnamed antagonists in African war zones, reports This Day, a Dar es Saalam publication. The report

also says air cargo carriers ship in humanitarian aid to peacekeeping operations, and export diamonds and coltan – an ore used in consumer electronics – as well as “other precious minerals”. Moz refinery forced to relocate The first oil refinery to be set up in Mozambique in 24 years has been relocated due to environmental concerns. The project, which was to be situated south of the capital close to the Maputo elephant reserve, will now be moved to Marracuane, 50 kilometers north of Maputo.

However, the rates are still 34.4% down on this time last year. Drewry’s Philip Damas pointed out the new rates did not apply to annually negotiated contracts, and added that the increase was down to a narrowing between supply and demand. But John Lu, chairman of the Asian Shippers’ Council, told International Freighting Weekly (IFW): “It’s not a good time to do this [increasing rates]. The economic situation is still quite bad and there’s substantial over-capacity.” Drewry’s rates are derived from Hong Kong non-vesseloperating common carriers (NVOCCs).

As shipping lines on some trades try to breathe some life into their freight rates – currently verging on subeconomic levels – shippers who fork out the cash are adamant that higher rates won’t stick in the current extremely tight conditions. Among the lines pushing up rates are those on the transpacific trade which are all quoting significant rate increases. One of the latest reports on the net from container trade analyst Drewry shows that in the second week of August shipping lines pushed up rates by 57.4% to US$1 371 per 40-foot box.

No more queues for passports South Africans will soon no longer have to stand in long queues when applying for passports and identity documents as the Department of Home Affairs is set to implement an online system. Diversify or die – warning from US A firm warning from US secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, to countries exporting to the US under the Africa Growth and Opportunity Act (Agoa) – diversify or die.

New customs rules for EU trade on the way By Ed Richardson Far-reaching new regulations will affect documentation of goods flowing between the European Union and destinations like South Africa. The United Kingdom’s customs authority, Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC), describes EMCS

as “an electronic EU-wide system designed to replace the existing paper based Administrative Accompanying Document (AAD), relative to the movement of Excise goods”. According to HMRC, “the most significant impact of this new system will be on those businesses involved in receiving excise goods from outside the

EU, who prepare a customs entry and wish to forward it on to an excise warehouse with only the excise duty suspended”. Such businesses will have to become authorised as Registered Consignors if they wish to continue dispatching goods from places of importation to excise warehouses with only the excise

duty suspended. In order to remove goods arriving from outside the EU to an excise warehouse, with only the excise duty suspended (customs duty having been already paid), they should be entered for clearance using CPC 0700000. Under the new procedures a Registered Consignor, when

satisfied that the goods are Customs cleared, must raise an electronic e-AD within EMCS and when the excise warehouse receives the freight, they will discharge the e-AD by acknowledging receipt of the goods via an electronic message back to the registered consignor who is likely to be the original Customs clearance agent.

Shortage of small ships looms By Alan Peat The latest reports from shipping industry experts indicate that a shortage of small ships is looming – but there will be no effect on the SA trades (which all use this class of container ships), according to a local shipping executive. According to the Frenchbased shipping consultants, AXS Alphaliner, these latest forecasts are predicted because of the striking imbalances in the orderbook. While the orderbook for ships over 4 000-TEU capacity represents 62.8% of the existing fleet, the figure stands at only 11.3% for cellular ships under 4 000 – and these are the ships that largely fill the services to and from SA. What would seem an incipient shortage of this vessel type, sees the imbalance becoming even more pronounced when the age profile of the small ships is taken into account. Alphaliner’s analysis shows that the fleet of ships under 3 000-TEU will stagnate during the coming three years as deliveries will only compensate for the demolition of elderly

ships, without allowing any demand-driven fleet expansion. This would suggest that the SA market faces a distinct shortage of tonnage in the capacity supply-demand equation. But the chances of any impact on local seafreight rates – implied when supply gets short – are exceedingly slim, according to Andrew Thomas, CEO of Ocean Africa Container Lines (OACL) and chairman of the SA Association of Ship Operators and Agents (Saasoa). This statistical assumption and the actual market reality are poles apart, he suggested. “Yes,” he said, “if there is greater demand than supply then prices will go up. “But that’s not my experience of the market today. “There’s a 20% excess capacity in the container shipping market (with lots of tonnage anchored idle around the world during this recession) – although I must admit that most of these are the biggies in the fleet.” Thomas also noted that ships were currently being tendered at sub-economic prices – with ships in the 1 100-TEU class, for

Andrew Thomas ... ‘Small size of ships can be built very quickly.’ example, that would have cost you US$32-million now going for about US$12-m. “That means that shipowners who have recently paid those very high prices for new tonnage are now desperate to let them out for any rate they can get,” he added. Taking Alphaliner’s raw fleet figures for small ships into consideration, it may appear

that now is the time to buy new ships on the cheap, but that, they added, is a conclusion that is shocking in the current oversupplied market. But, according to Thomas, if and when owners decide that buying is right, the small size of ships can be built very quickly. “And there’s also capacity in the shipyards,” he said, “so there’s currently no need for

four-year advance ordering.” The market conditions also don’t indicate that rates could go up, he added. “Tradewinds has just reported that the container shipping business will lose between US$20-billion and US$25-bn this year.” Not the time to look at adding new capacity, and certainly not time to try to push up rates.

New man heads up BAWC in Africa BY Joy Orlek A reorganisation of the British Airways World Cargo commercial team across Africa, the Middle East, Asia and Pacific regions has seen the appointment of Mark Stubbings as regional commercial manager for Africa, replacing Patrick

Fehring who has joined the passenger business. During his 20 years with the airline, Stubbings has worked in sales, marketing and customer service in the UK, India and America where he spent five years. For the past two years he has been responsible for managing global strategic relationships with some

of the airline’s top freight forwarders, negotiating and implementing global deals. Based in London, with an office in Johannesburg, Stubbings is responsible for North, South, East and West Africa. He will visit Johannesburg at least once a month to touch base with staff and customers.
