It’s all been a bit of a poor reaction from the department, with the RFA still not even in the know about who devised this scheme – which basically states that it wants to reduce single rear axle mass load from 9 000-kilograms to 8 000-kgs to save damage to the already deteriorated secondary road system, according to the DoT.

Container congestion in Cape Town By Ray Smuts Containerships were lined up, much like taxis at an airport, as vicious southeasterly winds sandblasted Cape Town for four days last week, resulting in nearly 44

hours of work stoppages and overall berthing delays of well over 100 hours in some instances. If that’s not bad enough, the Mother City terminal had been hit by the self-same ‘Cape Doctor’ the previous

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

Administrative Monetary Penalty System On 22/23 October 2009 the South African Revenue Service (SARS) published the Customs and Border Management External Stakeholder Discussion Document Customs/Excise Administrative Monetary Penalty System. According to SARS, due to the result of numerous problems being experienced with the current penalty guideline and the changes, which will be implemented as a result of the modernisation initiatives within SARS, it was necessary to review the current penalty policy which resulted in radical changes being made. Any comments with respect to the proposed penalty policy are invited in writing, on a prescribed template, on or before 20 November 2009. In addition, as part of the

modernisation programme an electronic penalty system is also being developed, which will have the effect of finalising penalties in a shorter period and more efficiently. A new form will be developed as part of this initiative which will result in the form DA 490 falling away when liquidating the penalty/forfeiture amount(s). National Ports Act – Correction Notice The Department of Transport published a correction notice in the Government Gazette in respect of the Directives in terms of Section 30(3) of the National Ports Act, 2005, where the text “National Ports Authority” is replaced with “Ports Regulator”. Wreck Permits – Oosterland and Waddinxveen The South African Heritage Resources Agency published a notice in the Government

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

Gazette in respect of the proposed issuing of permits for the excavation of the wrecks of the Oosterland and the Waddinxveen, which sank in Table Bay, Cape Town, in 1697. Written comment is due by 13 November 2009. The Proposed Creation of Tariff Chapter 99 The proposed creation of the introduction of Tariff Chapter 99 – “Miscellaneous Classification Provisions”, and the imposition of Tariff Heading 99.92. The notice reads as follows: “The Additional Notes for heading 99.92 relate to Stores for Foreigngoing Ships and Aircraft: 1. (a) Any word or expression in this item in relation to stores shall have the meaning assigned thereto in section 38A and the rules for that section. (b) Goods in free circulation supplied as stores to a foreign-going ship or

aircraft shall be cleared for export in terms of the provisions of heading 99.92 and not in terms of any other heading in Part 1 of Schedule No.1. 2. Heading 99.92 does not apply to the following goods that shall be cleared in accordance with the headings of Chapter 1 to Chapter 97 of Part 1 of Schedule No. 1: (a) Any goods supplied as spares or equipment; (b) Bonded goods; (c) Goods prohibited or restricted as contemplated in section 113; (d) Alcoholic beverages and tobacco products that are goods in free circulation; and (e) Fuel levy goods. Comment is due by 30 October 2009.

New reefer service will deploy 2000-TEU capacity vessels By Ray Smuts Only six weeks to go and the slots are falling smoothly into place as Ian Wicks gears up for his new MBG Line reefer service between South/West Africa and Europe. “There are no hiccups as yet but if we encounter any we will let you know,” he told FTW last week, adding: “In shipping, there is no such thing as plain sailing.” Aside from procuring seven appropriate charter vessels to ensure a smoothly operated weekly service, one of the most significant moves has been bringing on board Richard Ward, a 32-year industry veteran, who served as line manager for Wicks’ SA Independent Liner Services (Sails) while at Johnson Stevens. In Cape Town last week, Ward says he was asked to join Bahr Behrend by

parent company, the Scottish Denholm Group, as general manager for the UK and will, as such, be intimately involved with the MBG service. “There certainly is a gap in the market for a service of this nature in that we are able to go to a particular sector, fruit, and we are going to make it work – simple as that. “Due to the interest shown in the UK, we expect to grow exports out of the UK to South and West Africa.” As to oft-voiced complaints of a shortage of containers and ship capacity out of South Africa, Ward says: “We are not about to tell people we can carry the world because we can’t. We can tell them exactly what capacity we have.” Wicks says talks with (all) German shipowners have been going well, with four vessels lined up thus far, leaving three to be negotiated. “The charter rate is

confidential but we are getting ships at a favourable rate,” he says, the implication being they may well be coming in under the current daily rate of between US$4 000 and US$5 000. The vessels will probably be of around 2 000 TEU capacity, though Wicks says he has been offered three 2 950 TEU vessels at a much lower rate than would normally be applicable. Staff recruitment is under way and offices are being set up in Sandton, the Durban CBD, Rotterdam and London. While concerns remain about high costs and

inefficiency at Transnetoperated terminals – General Motors SA a case in point – Wicks says TPT does not feature at all in his plans but rather Capespan subsidiary, FPT, which also acted as service provider to Sails. (Only Cape Town has been lined up thus far.) “FPT is more suited to our type of vessels, besides they are all geared so we do not really have a requirement for gantries.” Wicks says United Container Depot, another Sails service provider, will also be involved in his new enterprise.

A three-day ‘enforcement’ operation by Sars Customs, police and the Home Affairs Immigration division in Ottery’s China City and other Cape Town Peninsula suburbs last week netted alleged contraband goods worth R45 million. In addition, four foreign nationals were detained for contravening the Immigration Act. Included in the haul is branded sports merchandise, including popular soccer club jerseys. Shopkeepers and warehouse owners unable to provide documentation absolving them from illegal activities within seven days could face a R400 000 fine or ten years’ imprisonment.

Industry stalwart loses fight against cancer

Bill Viveiros - a doyen of the freight industry.

By Ray Smuts Freight industry stalwart, Bill Viveiros, has signed off his

last consignment, in a manner of speaking, succumbing to a lengthy fight against cancer in Cape Town at the age of 73. The crippling disease notwithstanding, he was active right to the end of a fruitful career spanning 56 years. He died on October 17. To Bill’s way of thinking, he never really retired, says his daughter, Ilona. “He was very much a people’s person, as a father strict but focused on his family.” Bill had worked for the past five or so years as a consultant to DBSchenker in Johannesburg but relocated to Cape Town last year

after a fall. He left school at age 14 in order to provide for his immediate family, determined to make something of his life. “In his younger years he was both loved and feared by colleagues, but mellowed as the years went by,” says Ilona. Bill is fondly remembered by many, including freight temp placement specialist, Lee Botti, and Tony Pheiffer, regional director subSaharan Africa and CEO of DBSchenker. It is Pheiffer, with memories dating back to the early ’90s, who recounts Bill’s considerable acumen at

working with numbers, his expertise at speechmaking and other qualities, such as a sharp wit. Bill started his career with Divine Gates Co. in Cape Town in 1953, handling customs clearing, then spent 13 years with Parry Leon & Hayoe and 15 years with Freight Services. Shortly thereafter, he joined Lep International, where he was appointed MD with Rennies securing the Lep agency, rising to become head of Renfreight Aircargo. Over the last 14 years he consulted to various companies, including

Grindrod, BAX and finally, DBSchenker, where he worked up till three weeks before his death. Family, former colleagues and friends celebrated Bill’s life at a memorial service held from 4.30 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Wednesday, October 28, at the Cricket Clubhouse, Constantia Sports Field (Virgin Active Gym), Constantia Main Road. He leaves three children, Ilona Thorndike, a professional astrologer, Michael, an English teacher in Taiwan and Paul a commodity trader in Western Australia, and five grandchildren.

BIDAir’s Francois Wolmarans dies Farewell to another of the prominent personalities in the SA freight industry, with the death last week of 43-year-old Francois Wolmarans, group MD of BIDAir Group. Francois was born on June 7, 1966, and began his career as a recruitment consultant,

while also gaining a diploma in industrial relations and finalising his degree in Bachelor of Commerce through part-time study. He was appointed as MD of Express Air Services (EAS) at the youthful age of 32, and in this position was recognised

with BIDVest chairman’s award for exceptional performance in 2006. Francois held this position for 10 years. His career highlight was being part of turning lossmaking entities into profit generators and securing and growing jobs. Francois

embraced challenges facing our country – feeling that balancing the needs and aspirations of the poor against sound economic policy allowing for job creation and the increase in the average wealth of all South Africans was critical to our future.

He believed in adding value to society – while subscribing to the adage: “The key to a successful life is to manage your life in such a way that you can die without regrets”. Francois is survived by his mother, brother, sister and daughter.

Singapore trade mission pushes gateway opportunities ‘SA offers perfect entry point to Africa’ By Liesl Venter South Africa has much to offer Singapore businessmen wanting to establish themselves not just in the country but in Africa, says Yi Shyan Lee, Singapore Minister of State and Minister of Trade and Industry. Speaking to FTW at a gala dinner organised by PIL South Africa at the Hilton Sandton in Johannesburg last week, Lee, who accompanied a delegation of businessmen on a mission to South Africa and Nigeria, said there was much opportunity for relations to be strengthened. “Both countries are the gateways to their specific regions – South Africa to Africa and Singapore to Asia. In Singapore we have 8 000 multinationals who use the city as their headquarter base. South Africa offers a perfect entry point for those

businessmen wanting to spread their wings into Africa.” Lee said there was also an opportunity to increase trade between the two countries. “Our total international trade with the world is 870 billion Singapore dollars of which only 2.1 billion is with South Africa. That is less than 0.5% of the total. I believe there is opportunity to grow this relationship as well.” According to Siong Seng Teo, president of the Singapore chamber of commerce, which organised the business mission to Africa, the trip proved to be very informative. “We usually do trade missions to China and the other Asian regions, but we are pleased to have chosen Africa as a destination and many of the delegation have been able to identify business opportunities, while also understanding the continent better.” Teo said the aim of the

mission was to promote the development of industry and commercial ties with Africa. “Our intention has been to promote the overseas growth of Singapore-based enterprises and international trade. During this business mission we have managed to meet with many role-players both here in South

Africa and in Nigeria and return with much hope for more trade between the two countries.” Ivan Naik, managing director of PIL South Africa who hosted the delegation for their farewell dinner, welcomed the business mission saying it was imperative

for businessmen from both countries to meet and interact. “South Africa is strategically located in Africa and is a gateway to the continent. Developing relationships with our Singapore counterparts is very important not just for them to access Africa, but also for us to access Asia.”

‘The future of maritime is in the Eastern Cape’ By Claire Warneke The maritime industry offers huge economic potential for the Eastern Cape through the ports of Ngqura and Port Elizabeth. Speakers at the ‘Mandela Bay’s Opportunities and Developments in the Maritime Industry’ workshop on October 20 highlighted the fact that

FTW1590SD

Ngqura was perfectly positioned to take advantage of world trade, but South Africa and particularly the Eastern Cape lacked the necessary skills. The current economic downturn had created an opportunity for the Eastern Cape ports to take advantage of their strategic locations. Tantaswa Cici, manager: maritime safety management

at Eastern Cape Department of Roads and Transport (DoRT ) proposed that the current economic situation and the threat of Somali pirates could divert freight travelling from the EU through the Suez canal to India. “The Port of Ngqura is perfectly situated to be a strategic hub between these two centres,” said Cici. “Also, the Suez canal cannot

accommodate the very large ships. “We hope to put together an integrated provincial maritime plan by July 2010,” said Cici. Another goal of the government is to establish a provincial maritime centre by November 2012. However, in order to take full advantage of the industry, several issues need to be addressed.

“The Eastern Cape maritime industry is loaded with infrastructure under-performance,” said Cici. “There is also a lack of skills and operational inefficiencies at system level. Regulatory and legislative framework needs to be looked at again as some policies don’t accommodate the Eastern Cape province.”

Truckers association adds voice to that of RFA ‘Axle mass proposal will have major impact on SA economy’ By Alan Peat The Durban truckers’ body has come out firmly behind the Road Freight Association (RFA) actions in fighting the new proposed lowering of the permissible vehicle rear axle mass. It totally contradicts the country’s whole policy on the SA maritime industry, and the fact that sea transport – and the landside facility to move it – is the life blood of our manufacturing industry, according to Kevin Martin, MD of Freightliner Transport and vice-chairman of the SA Association of Freight Forwarders (Saaff) sister body, the Durban Harbour Carriers Association (DHCA). Behind this thinking, Martin told FTW, lies a whole overview of the maritime scene contained in The Maritime Doctrine for the SA Navy. In this it said that “90% of SA imports and exports in

terms of value are carried by sea” and that “approximately 65% of SA gross domestic product (GDP) was generated by foreign trade in 1998 and it is estimated that 60 cents in every rand earned in SA is directly dependent on the sea”. Martin also pointed to a statement in July, 2008 by Castro Khwela – a senior Transnet executive – in which he said that “95% of Southern African Development Community (SADC) trade passed through the region’s eight ports and 98% of all imports and exports are carried by ship”. “As all this trade by sea is facilitated by the land facilities of road and rail moving the goods in and out of the ports,” he said, “on a generally agreed ratio of 20% rail to 80% road. “I think it is very important to see that tinkering with one component – such as axle

limits on road vehicles – will have a major impact on the SA economy, especially our ability to market our commodities internationally in the world market-place. This, bearing in mind that 60 cents in every rand earned depends on this ability to compete.” Martin also highlighted that, with the SA industrial

‘With the SA industrial heart lying very far from the sea, our logistic chain already costs double.’ heart lying very far from the sea, our logistic chain already costs double (about 16%) that of our competition’s approximately 8% logistics costs. “Any increase in these costs,” he said, “will cost us market share and jobs.” Martin then cited a lengthy list of problems that will arise in practical terms from the DoT proposal.

It will mean: A minimum of 15% decrease in pay load; an increase of a minimum of 15% in the cost of road transport; an increase of 15% MORE trucks on the roads; and inflation, food price and unemployment would rocket, he said. Martin also saw a problem with heavy containers. “As the definition of a secondary road is any road that is not a national (N) road or toll road,” he told FTW, “this means that our ports would be congested as heavy containers (a very large majority of containers are 30-ton gross due to the cost of shipping) would not be able to be transported as present road equipment would not be legal. Further, no abnormal vehicles can carry containers under other new proposed legislation.” The problem also extends directly into that abnormal transport sector. “Effectively, no abnormal loads could be moved as

most of them move on secondary roads,” Martin said. “And, due to their condition, if the road cannot take 8 000-kg per axle they will not be able to take the 13 000-kg per axle – whether under cover of a permit or not.” He also cited the fact that the new ruling would contravene this country’s agreements under the Southern African Development Community protocol – with the new axle mass limit not being in line with our SADC agreement of 10 000-kg per axle. The DoT idea to “migrate” road traffic to rail also has its inherent drawbacks, according to Martin. “As part of its national infrastructure plan launch, Transnet stated that, to move containers out of the Port of Durban to Cato Ridge by rail would require a R3 billion upgrade,” he said. “But, they added, this was not on their planning boards or budget.”

Big increase in fresh produce expenditure BY Ray Smuts AS varied as their eating habits may be, from curry to fish and chips, the British have never scored brownie points on fresh fruit consumption, an omission that seems to be reversing itself as part of a world move toward greater well-being. More crispy, crunchy bites in shopping bags hold greater possibilities for all in the fruit business, a fact of which Martin Dunnett, Capespan UK’s trading director, is all too keenly aware. If the Brits are indeed intent on downing more fruit, it holds promise for SA growers and their counterparts all over the world, given that 45% of the six billion tonnes of fresh produce consumed in the UK each year relates to fresh fruit. Dunnett observes that fresh produce expenditure in that neck of the woods has increased by a whopping £330 million to £8.4bn over the past year, despite trying economic times. More specifically, fruit consumption is up 5%, leading him to conclude it augurs well for Capespan. “If this is the case in a strained economy, imagine what can be done when we emerge from the recession.” Convinced the upswing is not a passing phase but rather an upward trend, he notes salads are performing well (4% up on price with a stable volume), bananas (up 5% up on price with a stable volume)

FTW1635SD

and grapes (up 10% on price with a stable volume). The UK’s per capita fruit consumption currently amounts to 100gr a day, significantly less than the World Health Organisation’s recommendation of 400gr of fruit (and vegetables) a day, as a counter to cardiovascular and other diseases. That means the Brits consume less than half that of European counterparts in Germany and Holland and as much as five times less than those in southern European countries such as France, Spain and Italy.

‘Fresh produce expenditure has increased by a whopping £330m to £8.4bn over the past year, despite trying economic times.’ Despite a strong swing to locally (UK) produced products, for seasonal fruit, South Africa’s apples, citrus and grape exports have not been adversely affected. Annual sales of South African fruit shipped to the UK stand at around 300 000 tonnes across pome and stone fruit, citrus and grapes, avocados/exotics (lychees etc.), representing an additional 20 000 tonnes. Locally (UK) produced apples have increased significantly in recent years, intensifying more than ever before pressure on Capespan UK to clear its South African apple stock on time. The emphasis on

Integrated project teams ramp up efficiency on Natal corridor

Martin Dunnett … ‘Despite a strong swing to locally (UK) produced products, for seasonal fruit, South Africa’s apples, citrus and grape exports have not been adversely affected.’

seasonality represents “excitement and a big selling point”, provided product is the best on offer, holds Dunnett. “For sure, the importing role in any market is becoming tougher by the day but Capespan UK has held its ground, a solid performance serving to encourage producers the world over.” As to ethical trade (refer FTW September 4), Dunnett does not agree with Fresh Produce Exporters’ Forum CEO, Stuart Symington, that South Africa is being unfairly singled out by British supermarkets over its apartheid legacy by enforcing audited farming practices. But he nevertheless believes when it boils down to opportunity to deliver against the demands of the market, South Africa remains the preferred and logical source for Europe’s southern hemisphere fruit requirements, a rise-to-the challenge nurtured over the years.

By Liesl Venter With the Natal Corridor (Natcor) handling more than 60% of all the railed import and export containers, increasing and ensuring its efficiency remains high on Transnet Freight Rail’s (TFR) agenda. According to TFR’s Tony Muizenheimer, the typography of the corridor makes it a complex one, but with Durban being the busiest port in Africa there is much to be gained from logistics integration on the corridor. “We have developed a dedicated structure to focus on growth in an integrated manner while we have implemented systems that allow for integrated planning and real time deviation management.” Muizenheimer, who was speaking at the recent monthly Transport Forum,

said major improvements had been seen on the corridor as TFR continued to share best practices and ideas with role-players. “We have also implemented integrated project teams where these teams obtain a clear understanding of the challenges at hand and the initiatives to address problems. We are also using common systems that ensure transparency at all times and enable effective tracking of customer goods.” Handling more than 30 commodities, he says, the importance of the corridor cannot be underestimated. Much time and effort has gone into people working on the corridor. “People are the key for us going forward. We are vigorously promoting the mindset of continuous improvement to achieve our long-term growth projections for this very strategic corridor.”

Brazil trade mission spells out varied bilateral trade opportunities Growth expected to exceed world forecast for 2010 By Liesl Venter A business trade mission to South Africa to promote the Brazilian state of Pernambuco has opened the door to further bilateral trade between the two countries. It was structured as a seminar and business-tobusiness networking session, and delegates from the state of Pernambuco, which is situated in the north-east of Brazil, met with South African importers and exporters to discuss and negotiate bilateral trade opportunities spanning several sectors. According to Josias Albuquerque, President of Fecomercio, the goods, trade, services and tourism federation in Pernambuco, trading with businesses in this particular region of Brazil has many advantages. “We have excellent infrastructure which includes world-class air, rail and road

FTW1785SD

FTW1508SD

networks as well as Atlantic seaboard ports like Suape. This port has a modern infrastructure with container terminals for 400 000 TEUs per year and a deep draught that enables it to service big ships.” Speaking at the networking session in Sandton, Albuquerque said Pernambuco was a Brazilian hub for the distribution of freight cargo as well as a tourism entry point. “There is variety on offer to South African companies keen to trade with us ranging from retail trade and cosmetics to agribusiness, IT and stationery materials. Pernambuco has also benefited from government partnerships into the region which, coupled with substantial investments, have resulted in the state being stable and sustainable.” Brazil has become a viable option for importers and exporters in recent times having remained stable in the

midst of the global recession. Estimates for the country paint an encouraging picture for Brazil and its trading partners. The 2009 world growth estimates are a gloomy -2,7% while Brazil's GDP will neither grow nor shrink at 0.0%. By 2010 the world can expect growth of 1.2% while Brazil's growth prediction is 3.5%.

SA orange exporters are experiencing the same sales drop-off this year as other Southern hemisphere citrus producers, the Citrus Growers Association (CGA) reports. With the citrus season nearing an end, the final shipments of navels are not expected to improve the picture, with 2009 volume totals down 10% from preseason estimates. “As predicted, trading conditions were difficult in the EU countries – with exports to northern Europe decreasing from 5.5-million 15-kilogram cartons in 2008 to 4-m cartons; southern Europe from 1.8-m in 2008 to 1.2 m; and UK from 1.9-m to 1.6-m,” said Justin Chadwick, CEO for CGA, who added that, overall, the EU imported 2.4-m fewer cartons of navels than last year.

The other smaller market areas each fared differently, although increases in volumes were predominantly on the up-and-up. While shipments to the US were down a quarter, exports to the Middle East doubled. Those going to Russia increased from 800 000 cartons to 1.4-m and the Far East saw a 15% increase. All Southern hemisphere orange exporters took a hit this year except Australia, which bounced back from drought devastation that decimated its exports last year. Argentina shipments were down by 36%; Chile by 40%; Peru by 73%; and Uruguay by 24%. South Africa’s drop of 4% was relatively mild. The recession-hit EU market will import 37% less Southern hemisphere oranges this year; with a lot of locally grown product still in warehouses.

Pirates attack ships off the Seychelles

Somali pirates board a Belizeflagged cargo ship.

By Ray Smuts

has prompted the island government to ask for, and receive, assistance from the US. The US Africa Command (Africom) is currently setting up base at Seychelles main airport to deploy 3 000km-range Reaper unarmed aerial reconnaissance vehicles, similar to those in use in Afghanistan. The International Maritime Bureau (IMB) says even though attacks and hijackings have dropped over the past four months, year-on-year, Somali pirates are more desperate than ever to attack indiscriminately by firing rocket-propelled grenades and automatic weapons to intimidate ship masters into stopping.

No sooner had the Muslim Ramadan and the traditional high seas monsoon weather passed, than Somali pirates struck once again with impunity off the Seychelles, hijacking and holding to ransom a Singaporean containership, a Chinese bulk carrier and their crews. The 1 550teu PIL containership, Kota Wajar, was en route from Singapore to Mombasa when she and her 21-member crew were seized on October 15, 500km north of Seychelles. Four days later, the Cosco bulk carrier, De Xin Hai, laden with 76 000 tons of coal from South Africa (presumably Richards Bay) to Mundra, India, was taken 350

nautical miles north of the Seychelles and 700 nautical miles off the east coast of Somalia. The pirates are threatening to blow the vessel up if any attempt is made to free her and her 25-member crew before a ransom is paid. The pirates also launched attacks on two Ignazio Messina vessels, Jolly Rosso and Jolly Smeraldo (both abortive), on the night of October 21. The Italian line deploys four ships between the Mediterranean, Red Sea, East Africa and South Africa. “Southbound and northbound, there is a risk to them and we have to say it is now intense,” says director, Stefano Messina, as preparations are under way to

install armed guards on the ships. The Seychelles, with its maze of more than 100 islands, many uninhabited, provides the perfect hiding place for bandits. Whether the busy Mozambique Channel is next on the pirates’ list of must-do’s, remains to be seen but Helmoed Heitman, South African correspondent for Jane’s Defence Weekly, admits to being “intrigued” over such an eventuality. The South African government appears to be unfazed over any such

potential threat, Heitman making the point that it has not acceded to the World Food Programme’s request for assistance, nor the more recent appeal by the European Union. “I do not understand why we, as Africa’s biggest economy, are not doing it,” he says with reference to participating in anti-piracy operations. “It’s a typical African country attitude; whine and whinge but don’t pay your dues.” Concerns about piracy increasing in Seychelles

SA business leaders see upturn next May South African business leaders expect “significant” economic recovery from May next year – well ahead of most of the rest of the world – according to a 15-country survey by Regus covering

11 000 companies. Only India’s prediction of March 2010 is more optimistic, with the rest of the world expecting recovery in the fourth quarter of 2010. With an upturn in business comes increased demand for freight and logistics services –

good news for FTW readers. According to the Regus BusinessTracker, South Africa’s corporate outlook on economic recovery coincides with an increase in profits that surpassed the international average: 46% of South African firms saw profits increase

last year, versus 40% of companies globally. Similarly, 49% of South African companies experienced an increase in revenues last year (versus 46% globally). Even among those that experienced a decrease, 65% expect revenues to rise

Hauliers looking for support Without trucks, South Africa stops. This is the message from the Road Freight Association which is calling for public support in its efforts to stop the Department of Transport (DoT) implementing a proposed reduction in axle mass loads and the prohibition of moving certain goods by road.

According to Gavin Kelly, RFA spokesman, the RFA has circulated the letter from the DoT to all stakeholders and roleplayers in the industry. “We need public support in this matter. The perception is that trucks damage roads and that is not true. If the DoT implements this proposal, transport costs will increase and the consumer will pay more. It will

Transport costs will increase warns RFA The Department of Transport’s proposed amendment to the National Road Traffic Act (NRTA) legislation – due for final comment from the industry by November 6 – could have a serious impact if it is implemented, says the Road Freight Association. According to RFA spokesman Gavin Kelly an increase of at least 12% in transport costs can be expected if the DoT implements its proposal. Other possible effects include lower gross vehicle masses (GVMs), and therefore reduced payloads; doubling the logistics costs; and more vehicles on the roads leading to congestion. “It will affect operators and suppliers as well as customers,” says Kelly. “The RFA is addressing this matter with urgency.” Two letters have been sent to the DoT, including the Minister of Transport, but no response has yet been forthcoming.

Hauliers want clarity

Gavin Kelly … RFA technical and operations manager.

In an effort to gain support, the organisation has been in contact with all stakeholders as well as their counterparts in neighbouring countries. “It is clear from the various talks we have had with other industry role-players but

also with the DoT itself that this legislation has not been thought through clearly,” said Kelly. No timeline has yet been given to the RFA about when the new proposal will be implemented.

From page 1 out to be only the messenger bearing the bad news – the signatory, not the creator. Other telephone interaction with other DoT staff members eventually led the association to glean that the circulation of the letter was in line with a new project started by the department – entitled the Road Freight Strategy. Naidoo told FTW that a consultant (whom the DoT refuse to identify) had been appointed. “This,” she added, “involved the activation of a committee to look at relieving/reducing the load on the secondary network and revitalising the (rail) branch lines.” The proposal to reduce single rear axle mass load was explained as being because of “the urgent need by treasury to look into the deteriorating network”, the RFA was told. “They added that no funds are available to continually sustain repair and research,” Naidoo said, “and this shows that the network has a fiveyear lifespan left before collapse. The DoT has been

tasked to engage Transnet on this issue to address the funding shortfall (for road repair/maintenance).” While there was some clarification by DoT contacts of a couple of other poorly defined conditions in the departmental notice, nothing official has been received from the DoT. “We have confirmed that ‘secondary network’ referred to all public roads not proclaimed as national roads – or those identified as part of the primary network,” said Naidoo. The RFA also found that there was no intention to reduce axle masses on passenger-carrying vehicles on these routes from their current permissible mass of 10 200-kg on rear axles. Several questions still remain unanswered, said Naidoo. However, DoT staff members admitted to Naidoo that the notice was “badly compiled”, did not deal with all the issues, and that it was “premature” in terms of the project timeline at DoT.
