SA ports deny entry to pirate-proof vessels

World Cup will boot SA out of recession

‘Barbed wire coils will hamper cargo vessels’

By Ed Richardson

By Ray Smuts Vessels equipped with antipiracy barbed wire coils are not welcome in South African ports. That’s according to a directive from the port authorities denying entry to any Pacific International Line (PIL) vessels equipped with these coils. The Singaporean-flagged carrier, operating several services between South Africa and the Middle East, is rightly concerned at the increase in Somali piracy attacks following the October 15 hijacking of its containership, Kota Wajar, 150 miles north of Seychelles. The vessel and crew are still in captivity. Not welcome at SA ports … one of PIL’s barbed wire reinforced vessels.

Next year’s Soccer World Cup will help South Africa boot its way out of the global recession, according to the Organisation for Economic Development’s latest Economic Outlook. It predicts that real GDP growth will be negative overall for 2009, “but should turn positive in the fourth quarter and accelerate in the first half of 2010, boosted by the soccer World Cup”. The OECD forecasts GDP growth of 2.7% next year, recovering to 4.5% in 2011 – much higher than many of the country’s trading partners. Inflation should return to the target range in 2010 aided by a substantial output gap and the feed through of past rand appreciation.

DUTY CALLS A weekly summary of the main changes to the South African tariff dispensation and amendments to customs and

The Draft Customs Duty Bill Since their release, the Draft Customs Duty Bill and the Draft Customs Control Bill have featured regularly in this column. If you have not yet printed a copy of the two draft Bills, you will need more than a ream of paper to do so. A ream of paper is 500 pages. The two daft Bills total 589 pages in all, 128 pages for the Draft Customs Duty and 461 pages for the Draft Customs Control Bill. To put it in context, if you want to have read through the Bills before comment is due, you will need to read 6.47 pages per day. In order to contextualise the issue, we will provide you with an overview. According to a press release, the scope of the draft Bill is confined to providing for the levying,

payment and recovery of customs duties on goods imported or exported from South Africa. It is thus a “tax levying Act” which for its implementation relies on the proposed Customs Control Act. The draft Bill’s chapter headings, of which there are twelve (12), include: 1. Interpretation, Application and Administration of this Act; 2. Customs Tariff; 3. Payment of Duties, Penalties and Interest; 4. Refunds and Drawbacks; 5. Assessment of Duties; 6. Tariff Classification of Goods; 7. Valuation of Goods; 8. Origin (should really be “Origin of Goods”); 9. Preferential Tariff Treatment; 10. Advance Rulings; 11. Judicial Matters; and 12. Miscellaneous Matters. Chapter 3 accounts for

excise legislation. Compiled by Tariff & Trade Intelligence. E-mail: info@tariffandtrade.co.za

20.18%, Chapter 7 for 17.98%, Chapter 8 for 14.04%, and Chapter 6 for 60.53% of all the Sections of the draft Bill. In other words, these four chapters account for 60.53% of all the Sections. If you have not accounted for the Chapter descriptions, Chapter 7 relates to “Valuation of Goods”; Chapter 8 “Origin of Goods”, and Chapter 6 “Tariff Classification of Goods”, which accounts for 40.35% of all the Sections. The draft Bill also has 36 parts to the Chapters of which “Valuation of Goods” account for 27.59%, “Origin of Goods” for 20.69% and “Tariff Classification of Goods” for 10.34% of all the parts. In other words these three account for 58.62% of all the parts. In summary, the three core customs issues with

which the draft Customs Duty Bills deal are tariff classification, customs valuation, and origin 91 Days Left to Comment on Draft Customs Bills

Wyllie joins Access By Alan Peat Well-known industry personality Philip Wyllie has joined national forwarding group, Access Freight International, as Johannesburgbased chief operating officer (COO). Since joining the freight industry in 1980, Wyllie has acquired an MBA from Henley Business School in London, a full working knowledge of both the freight

forwarding and contract logistics sectors – and held senior executive positions with various SA divisions of multi-national firms. Access was recently named the 2009 Deloitte ‘Best Company to Work For’ in the logistics, shipping and transport sector, an award that has gained the company brand recognition and exposure, human resources director, Dr Cristy Leask, told FTW.

Call for upgrade of PE airport appears in vain The lack of an international airport capable of handling direct flights of wide-bodied aircraft is costing the Nelson Mandela Bay metro and surrounds jobs, says professor Richard Haines, head of the department of development studies at the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University (NMMU).

Participation in Port Elizabeth recently, Haines said it was clear that the Airports Company of South Africa had no intention of upgrading the existing Port Elizabeth airport. Plans for the extension of the runway have been on hold for around 10 years. Instead, he said, a new “industrial” international airport should be built in the Coega Industrial Development Zone (IDZ).

Durban port stats reflect bottoming out of decline By Alan Peat An analysis of the Durban port figures for the year up to end-October displays the dismal story of the global slump, followed by an eventual bottoming out of the decline. But nothing, said analyst Dave Watts, KwaZulu Natal maritime adviser of the SA Association of Freight Forwarders (Saaff), for anyone to get ecstatic about. “If cargo movement is anything to go by,” he told FTW, “the Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) Durban cargo stats for October do not appear to indicate any material improvement in economic activity in South Africa.” The movement of import TEUs through the port for the period January to

October this year was 578 605 – some 18.66% below the same period in 2008, which was also a period of recession last year. “Though this comes as no surprise to the shipping industry,” said Watts, “it does show a marginal improvement over the period January to June 2009 when the decline was 23.07%. “Imports still lag even 2007, when they stood at 701 510 for the same period.” Exports are slightly better, Watts reckons, if on-going conversion from breakbulk is not taken into account. “Shipped full” stood at 487 414 for the same 10-month period in 2009 against 584 007 in 2008 – 16.54% lower, and marginally (1.8%) more than the 478 403 in 2007.

“Other cargo types have seen consistent declines since 2006,” he said. “And, though the global recession and conversion to containerisation are the most likely causes, the decline in breakbulk this year is nothing short of spectacular.” This is highlighted by the relative movement figures. Total breakbulk cargo (both import and export) stood at 4.07-million tons for the first ten-months of 2009. “This is a harsh comparison with the total for the same period of 2008, which was 6.34-m tons. “With only two-months of trade left, the annual drop in this type of tonnage may exceed 25% year-on-year. It is worth noting that in 2006 breakbulk cargo peaked at 7.9-m tons.”

Light ahead... but nothing to get ecstatic about.

Dry bulk, on the other hand, has been relatively stable in recent years. “Though dry bulk has seen a decline from the heights of 2008 it does appear final volumes will be

close to the average for the past few years,” said Watts. Dry bulk, being largely agricultural production and supplies, is reliant on weather conditions both in South Africa and abroad.

New acting drivers for TFR and TPT In a reshuffle at top level, Tau Morwe, the chief executive of Transnet Port Terminals (TPT), has been appointed acting CE of Transnet Freight Rail (TFR) pending the outcome of the disciplinary process against suspended CE Siyabonga Gama. TFR has operated without a fulltime CE since September this year. Karl Socikwa, the group executive: commercial, has meantime been appointed acting interim head of TPT. A graduate of Rhodes University, Socikwa holds Bachelor of Commerce (Economics and Accounting majors) and Bachelor of Law degrees. He practised as an attorney with Deneys Reitz Attorneys in Durban and Johannesburg before joining Transtel in 1995 as head of the legal unit. In 1999 he was appointed joint deputy CEO and two years later CEO. In 2005 he was invited to take on responsibility as head of restructuring for Transnet, primarily responsible for closure, transfer and disposal of all non-core businesses and investments in the Group.

Karl Socikwa... legal background.

With the successful conclusion of all the major disposals, closures and transfers he was appointed group executive: commercial, responsible for the establishment, launch and rollout of this new unit which is a key enabler of Transnet’s new growth strategy. FTW1836SD

The air cargo general sales agent, GSAfrica, has just had 80% of its shareholding acquired by the Mauritian-based travel and transport group, Rogers Aviation. “This,” said GSAfrica MD Anne Sanders, “gives us a huge spectrum to work from. This Mauritian-listed company has offices throughout the Indian Ocean Islands and neighbouring states, and it is also a GSA for various airlines in the area. “They now want to enhance their exposure on the cargo side in SA, and their acquisition of a majority holding in GSAfrica provides that very opportunity.” The Rogers Aviation group has a diverse portfolio of interests, with specialist subsidiaries operating in the aviation, hotels, leisure and logistics sectors. Its primary assets include the financial services specialists, Cim Group, and a property division, both 100% investments. It also holds strategic investments in New Mauritius Hotels, Air Mauritius and South West Tourism Development. “On the air cargo GSA side,

Rogers Aviation has a full network of offices in Mauritius and Reunion, Madagascar, Comoros, Mayotte, Mozambique and Kenya – and acts for nine international carriers, including Air France, Airlink, Air Mauritius, Air Seychelles and SAA Cargo. “It also operates ground-handling companies at the main airports in Mauritius and Mozambique.” Sanders sees this link-up having a main benefit of exposing GSAfrica in the Indian Ocean Islands (IOI).

New SAA system incorporates revenue management feature By Liesl Venter

Gary Hoyle ... bringing all SAA Cargo stations online.

The first phase of a new, fully integrated IT system for SAA Cargo will go live by April next year, with the entire system operational by no later than August. It will be implemented in two phases – with the implementation process already started in 2007, says Gary Hoyle, chief finance officer for SAA Cargo. “We needed to upgrade our IT system as the two systems we currently have in place are not just fairly old, but are also not fully integrated and therefore don’t speak to each other. In 2007 we started the process of looking for a new fully integrated system that is web-based and specifically

caters for cargo and found the answer in i-Cargo – a system from IBS.” According to Hoyle, the system will bring all SAA Cargo stations online, while allowing all aspects of the business – be it warehousing, reservations, bookings or revenue management – to work together at all times. “We believe by implementing this system we will increase our capability and efficiency.” Because i-Cargo will replace multiple systems and staff need to be trained, the decision was taken to implement it in two phases. “It will require extensive training of some staff members and therefore we are happy with the two-phased approach.”

According to Hoyle the new system will bring several benefits to SAA Cargo. “If you do not effectively manage cargo, you will effectively find yourself flying goods for free. “It is also important to have information at hand before you make decisions, to trace and track cargo at all times, while also looking at revenue management. “This new system will allow us to do all of that and more.” It also has the added advantage of being web-based so that any of the countries with which SAA Cargo deals – and which do not have a cargo operating system – can be given access to the SAA Cargo system on condition they have an internet line.

A centralised filing system with a difference

Glenn Lawson … ‘CoreArchive module allows any authorised user to extract documents real-time.’

A centralised filing system where nothing can get lost or misplaced once inserted on the file is now a reality for Core Freight Systems customers. For organisations using the CoreFreight software, the

CoreArchive module allows any authorised user to extract documents real-time, review them on the screen, e-mail them direct to a client or, as a last resort, print them to his local printer. These documents can be used during

the actual processing of a file and to provide a historical record for future reference, if required. “The electronic document file is created as the operator first registers a primary file on the CoreFreight application,” explains Glenn Lawson, head of client services at Core Freight Systems. “The document file structure, including sophisticated search and retrieval criteria, is created automatically in CoreArchive. Relevant CoreFreight generated documents (for example a bill of entry or client invoice) are immediately inserted on the file as they are produced in CoreFreight during the processing of a file in the normal course of events, without any further user intervention. “E-mail correspondence, including attachments, standard Excel and Word documents, scanned images

and the like are also easily filed by the users by simply e-mailing them to a given address, with the CoreFreight file number as a standard reference. This provides the ability to duplicate the traditional hard-copy file in its entirety, but with none of the restrictions associated with the physical storage of data. For example, spreadsheets containing supplier invoice data can be saved electronically on the file and are simply extracted when appropriate for easy data import into CoreFreight, without the need to recapture the data.” While the idea of document imaging is not new, the integration of the CoreArchive functionality into the CoreFreight application presents some distinct advantages to agents, in Lawson’s view. “Not least of these is that their users operate in a single application environment. “This is not ‘pie in the

sky’ or ‘vapour-ware’, it is in production usage. While the reality of a ‘paperless office’ may be some way off, the CoreArchive functionality provides a practical initiative for forward-thinking operators,” says Lawson. He believes freight forwarding and customs clearing agents need software that goes beyond simply the production of hard-copy documentation or EDI messages, in the case of communication with Sars. “Agents make a big investment in the recording and processing of data and it makes sense to leverage this effort to improve both internal efficiencies and client communications.” The electronic filing solution is one example of the functionality available within the CoreFreight application, "which moves its users beyond the ordinary in terms of electronic solutions,” says Lawson.

‘An online communication strategy is crucial’ By Liesl Venter In the online jungle, those savvy enough to make the most of the offerings are sure to walk away as kings. In the sophisticated business world in which we operate, having a website is no longer enough, says Phillippa Fox, marketing and administrative executive of the Railways and Harbours Supply Chain Association. “Online communication is not just about having a website, but rather an integrated presence and most companies should be investing in an online communication strategy.” Fox says many still shrug off this way of communication as they believe they are not delivering a service or a product to the ordinary citizen. “Every business, regardless what type, should be communicating online and looking at the various options of marketing their businesses via the internet.”

She says because many don’t realise the importance of this type of communication, websites are often not updated, with the information stale and uninformative. “Ask yourself the questions – where is my business in the online wilderness? If someone were to search for your business would they need to know your name or would a search engine lead them to you? Essentially it is about where you stand in terms of search engine optimisation, ad sense, banners, Twitter accounts, Facebook or slide share to share presentations.” Fox says these are just a few ways to connect with customers. “Online newsletters are gaining popularity while Skype has made a huge difference, along with instant messaging.” She says it is no longer business as usual as traditional marketing methods have changed. “Getting yourself out there using technology is no longer just another option, but rather a must have.” FTW1782SD

Software is probably the best weapon in the Global Inspections Group (GIG) arsenal. According to Shaun Janse Van Rensburg, GIG chief financial officer, software is also what differentiates the company from its competitors. “The software we use allows us to be fast and efficient while meeting the deadlines required by clients.” With specially designed software for its various government contracts, the company has also recently invested in software to service its newly established minerals and metals division. According to Lynn Budhram, who heads up this division, having the right software is critical to being a leader in the field of testing and analysing minerals and metals. “We have implemented a track and trace system that not only

With the almost overnight evolution of the information technology (IT) sector, the literary myth of “Big Brother” has turned into reality, according to Roland Raath, MD of Cargocare Freight Services. “Once you really start applying your mind, you realise just how much has changed in this IT area in such a short space of time,” he told FTW. “New developments and opportunities are popping up everywhere. E-bay is now a commonly used term, whereas a year ago it was rarely spoken of in our local context. “IT service providers in SA have opened shop with many new offerings to meet the public demand for increased business and training opportunities – while the public seems

to have developed a new boldness to forge ahead into unknown territory.” The same evolution has also taken place within Cargocare, according to operations director, Sue Wood. “Our promise of top-level

communications continues to be maintained and improved through mobile device connectivity,” she said. Solutions is the new catchword, she added. “With the new drive towards supply chain management that is beginning its inevitable march across our industry, we project that generic programme development will expand considerably – provided it is written with a view to further specialisation.” With this rush in cyberdevelopment, Cargocare continues to spend more on IT solutions and upgrades, according to Raath. And this IT focus has already paid dividends from its application to just one new area of the company’s business. This has been applied to a new niche

market Cargocare has taken on in the health and skincare industry – and it is already successfully moving about 8 000 shipments per month to domestic health and skincare consignees. “We will also be focusing on our other general business,” said Wood, “and evolving with clients into the area of supply chain logistics. This will concentrate on systems that can offer further integration with clients, specifically in the area of inventory procurement, flow, control, evaluation and re-order processes.” Cargocare still has a long way to go, according to Raath. “But consultations have started, and sales staff will be trained, motivated and mentored out of the ‘old’ style of pure freight forwarding and clearing,” he said.

As a whole it is a very attractive package for the freight industry to use.” He says it is therefore important for the company to stay ahead of technology. “We are always embracing new technology and looking at ways to improve and upgrade our system to ensure our clients can meet the official requirements from Customs and other logistics service providers, while staying competitive.”

In October Sars implemented the Mandatory Electronic Data Interchange system for Customs, ensuring that all companies submitting more than 20 entries a month are registered and submit all these entries electronically via EDI. “Sars is heading towards a paperless Customs release encompassing the entire supply chain.

ELECTRONIC SOLUTIONS

Enormous strides have been made toward paperless dream Sars has been the major protagonist in paper-reduced environment By Alan Peat The impact of electronics on the freight industry has been immense, according to Arnold Garber, chairman of the freight system specialists, Compu-Clearing. The number of things that have been changed for the better are many, he reckoned, but probably the largest single dream that the advent of electronics, computers and communication has been working to achieve is “the paperless environment”. “It hasn’t fully happened yet – and, in my opinion, is never likely to be completely achievable – but we have certainly made enormous strides towards it,” Garber added. “We have now reached

Arnold Garber … ‘Customs surprised us all and did an excellent job.’

what I suppose could best be termed “a paperreduced world.” A big contributor to this has been the SA Revenue Service Customs. “In the early days there were just so many departments of Customs that needed printed copies of a bill of entry (BOE) that you used to need to print seven copies of each. An electronic solution soon cured that problem, but the big question still remained about customs. They started talking electronic data interchange (EDI) some five to six years ago, but how were they going to go? “I must say that, because of very many previous attempts by customs to streamline the system which hadn’t

improved things much at all, there was some scepticism about whether customs’ EDI would work,” Garber said. “But Customs surprised us all, and did an excellent job.” There were still some gaps in the wire. All the world’s Customs authorities and the whole freight industry wanted a global system that would form a complete “paper trail” (although electronically recorded) of every single change of cargo status right along the supply chain from beginning to end. The manifest acquittal system (MAS) – just coming on-stream – is looking to plug a gap in the SA Customs/industry EDI system, according

to Garber. “It leaves, for example, a way for an unscrupulous employee of an airline who is in cahoots with an outside criminal element to do an ‘under the counter’ release to them of a shipment,” he said. “Without going into the technicalities, the MAS is the first step to prevent something like this, will give customs more control and help in their efforts to achieve the complete paper-trail. “The streamlining impact of electronic solutions has been great, and the results of the joint customs/freight industry system link-up have changed the whole face of the global trade industry to be quicker, better and more efficient.”

ELECTRONIC SOLUTIONS

Electronic solution cuts average transaction costs by more than half – survey By Alan Peat Finding the right solutions always requires access to all the relevant information, and being electronically connected provides you with a sure and efficient source of everything that is required, according to Moira Ambler, business development manager of MSC Logistics. “The transportation and freight industry is a critical part of any country's economy,” she told FTW, “and the movement and storage of supplies and merchandise poses huge challenges in maintaining speed, safety and security.” This, she added, is where a company’s computer system comes into play. “Everyone in the office can access any files that are required anytime and from anywhere, simply by being

Moira Ambler... manifest system electronically signed.

electronically connected. It is a streamlined information source, and makes us all very knowledgeable. “It simply makes life easier and quicker.” The only stumbling block is the human element. Said Ambler: “Someone has

to put the correct information in first, and it always allows for the curse of human failure.” A simple example of where there is an electronic solution for MSC Logistics is in the universal availability of shipping line manifests – a

vital document in ship and cargo management. “Our manifest system is all electronically signed and very on the ball,” said Ambler. “And again, the important words are that it’s available to us anytime and anywhere.” Another indisputable advantage is in the costefficiency of a sophisticated computer management system. Ambler pointed to a study compiled by the German major in the European logistics industry, Deutsche Bank. “It indicated that invoicing, dispute resolution and payment processes represented a significant area of inefficiency and cost for the industry,” she said. “It found that there were an estimated 150-million invoice transactions processed a year for ocean shipping – with

average costs ranging from US$20-US$60 per invoice, depending on the processes used. A vital finding by Deutsche Bank was that implementing an electronic solution could cut average transaction processing costs by more than half. “The report added that carriers also benefited from accelerated collection of their accounts receivable and improved working capital, making cash available sooner,” Ambler added. “Shippers and logistics providers profit from having a standardised accounts payable process for receiving, processing and paying all their invoices – improving visibility of their cash liabilities and providing a transparent dispute resolution process, all of which create efficiencies and save time for their staff.”

Mark Nowitz ... ‘Some exporters even managed to expand their product range.’

By Liesl Venter

FTW1635SD

As exporters around the world faced difficult times, having to deal with the economic crisis in the past year, South African exporters had to deal with the added difficulty of their fluctuating currency, said Advocate Mark Nowitz, chairman of the Johannesburg Chamber of Commerce and Industry (JCCI). Speaking at the annual JCCI/ Nedbank 2009 Gauteng Exporter of the Year awards recently, Nowitz said not only did this cut into exporters’ profit margins, but also attacked them from a competitive point of view. Gauteng exporters, like their counterparts in the rest of the world, faced difficult challenges as trade networks globally declined, said Nowitz, but as the judges found when looking at the entries there was also hope as those who entered had shown remarkable resilience to the markets,

and had managed to find innovative ways of coping with the volatility and fluctuating currency. In some cases there were even exporters who had managed to expand and grow their product range despite the tough economic times. Corne du Plessis of the Department of Trade and Industry, one of the sponsors of the competition, said while South Africa continued to be vulnerable as the country imported more than it exported, it also offered much opportunity to exporters. “It is important that we address this trade deficit and continue to explore new exporting capabilities and penetrate new markets.” Du Plessis said that the trade deficit should not be seen as a negative, but rather a positive as it posed great opportunity for exporters, and with Gauteng being the fourth largest economy in Africa, more so in the province than anywhere else in the country.

FTW and Cargo Info developing single brand Upgrade of Customs tariff under way By Joy Orlek FTW’s online sister publication, Cargo Info News, has seen dramatic readership growth over the past year, with its audience now approaching the 9 000 mark. While the most popular features include our daily news service, sailing schedule information, the customs tariff, jobs and training listings, the site is being constantly monitored and developed in line with reader input. “Ongoing surveys provide an accurate assessment of our readers’ key priorities and we are upgrading the website in line with these,” says business unit manager, Anton Marsh. “The Customs tariff module, which is widely used by the industry and to which several of our readers are referred by SA Revenue Service staff, is our current focus,”

says Marsh.” The upgrade will be accomplished in several phases, with Phase 1 due to be up and running early next year. “This will see the introduction of a better search facility, providing an historical function that will enable the user to see how things have changed,” he said.

‘Ongoing surveys provide an accurate assessment of our readers’ key priorities.’ “We see it as a work in progress and will continue to introduce additional functionalities in a phased approach.” Last year saw the introduction by FTW of a digital edition as well as an e-book version of the weekly print publication – and growing readership is evidence of its appeal. Advertisers have

particularly welcomed the additional exposure – with readers able to click through to websites on those advertisements that include a web address. The growing synergy between the print and electronic publication has prompted a redesign of the website, integrating FTW and Cargo Info into a single brand with a new look and easy-to-use functionality. This is currently under way and due for launch early in the new year. The website can be accessed at www. cargoinfo.co.za

Law association gives new transport policy the thumbs up Intent of proposals deserves applause In an urgent review of the draft Maritime Transport Policy, the Maritime Law Association (MLA) has come out in general support of the policy statements, according to MLA chairman, Andrew Robinson, a director of Durban lawyers, Deneys Reitz. “Some more detail is needed in respect of some of them,” he told FTW, “but the department of transport (DoT) is heading in the right direction.” He also said, however, that the review was a rush job. “The MLA was invited to comment on October 27, and comments were to be submitted by November 9,” he added. “This was less than two weeks to review a complex piece of proposed legislation, which means that our document was produced under severe time pressure.” But the available committee members of the

Andrew Robinson... ‘It is generally looking to encourage and stimulate the shipping industry in all its forms.’

MLA put their noses to the grindstone, and examined the draft policy in as much detail as was possible. According to Robinson, there may be a few typographical or grammatical mistakes, while the MLA feels that one or two sections may be wrongly worded, but the general gist of the whole

policy is very promising. “And, although it is often not too clear just what some of the proposals mean, they certainly deserve applause for their intent,” he said. “It is generally looking to encourage and stimulate the shipping industry in all its forms, and that in itself has to be welcomed by the stakeholders.” In his own personal view, Robinson saw what the DoT's plans regarding promoting a ship’s register as an interesting issue – and one which he told FTW he had already noted at the Industrial Development Council (IDC) marine forum last year, and when he met with the DoT earlier this year. “There are a number of ship’s registers of consequence in the world,” he said. “They all try and offer something different in order to attract ship owners.” What does the DoT propose in this regard? “The policy tells you

nothing, and there is no real evidence of any detailed research having been carried out as yet,” he said. “What I would like to see is the DoT carrying out a thorough investigation of the main ship registers in the world and seeing what it is that they offer to potential clients.” He noted, for example, Singapore providing the most recent example of a successful register being started from what he described as “humble beginnings”. “It took adventurous and pro-active government involvement to get a suitable policy in place,” said Robinson “and, within a very short space of time, legislation was passed to encourage ship owning and related industries to re-locate to Singapore.” He again mentioned the two basic types of registers that exist. The first is a register that is open, in the sense that company information

is made available to the public. The second type is the closed type of register, where very little information is made available beyond the name of the company and the existence of any mortgages over the ship. “Generally,” Robinson added, “SA has an open register insofar as companies are concerned. Details of directors and shareholders are easily available through a deed search or an inspection of the share register at the registered office. “The tax regime is also important, as are standards for crewing, safety and the like.” He also suggested therefore that the DoT should be aware of the need for a comprehensive review of other registers. “The process is important,” he said. “The DoT needs the data before it embarks on any legislative changes that will prove difficult to amend in due course.”

Pirate-proof vessels

The Seli 1 ... whose responsibility?

Still no answers over future of grounded bulker to do with the vessel. The original cargo owners have abandoned the coal, subsequently sold to an unidentified Johannesburg entrepreneur who has instructed it be removed. (The price of coal mid-year stood at around $52 a tonne FOB Richards Bay). A maze of mechanised equipment has been loaded onto the vessel in anticipation of unloading the 30 000-ton cargo but the NPA has yet to give its permission for use of the port to deliver the cargo to the shore, a task that could take three or four months.

Pirates reinvesting profits in new equipment Somali pirates are using their profits to buy more sophisticated equipment, says Captain Shane Murphy, who helped to repel the first of two attacks within a few months on the Maersk Alabama.

"Unfortunately, small arms, fire hoses and sonic weaponry do not sufficiently deter attacks, due to rapidly evolving piracy tactics," he says. Pirates are reinvesting their profits in bigger boats with greater range and heavier fire power,

including RPGs. "The maritime industry needs to adapt. Moreover, we need to stay one step ahead. It was demonstrated earlier this week that pirates are willing, able and capable of using deadly force," said Captain Murphy.

quite understand what National Ports Authority’s problem is and Transnet is clearly not willing to help its customers.” Helmut Heitman, South African correspondent for Jane’s Defence Weekly and an independent military analyst, describes as “silly” Transnet’s stance. “If they do this sort of thing (refusing antipiracy equipped vessels), insurance rates will either increase or the lines will not come to South Africa any more.” Pointing to the increase in piracy attacks and hijackings – at least 34 vessels are currently being held for ransom – Heitman says unless something is done to deter the pirates, ships will have no option but to protect themselves. “The South African government has thus far flatly dodged any request to become involved in anti-piracy operations, displaying an attitude which suggests piracy is not our problem.”

BUNKER WATCH (Fuel Prices) Durban

The National Ports Authority failed to attend last week’s allimportant Samsa meeting over the future of the wrecked bulk carrier Seli 1, leaving many questions unanswered. Key among those is whether the old Turkish ship lying off Table Bay beach will be removed and if so, who will pay for the costly operation. Some thinking has it Transnet National Ports Authority should accept responsibility, given the calamity occurred on their ‘turf’ – a view seemingly not

shared by the authority. The NPA said in a statement last week it was legally responsible for owning, managing and administrating ports to ensure efficient economic functioning. Furthermore, it said that the Seli 1 posed no threat to any of the above functions at this stage and that no permanent plan of action existed, although it was prepared to consider any official requests by Samsa in this regard. Samsa’s regional manager, Captain Dave Colly, says the NPA does not consider it is legally bound to have anything
