Hauliers await response UK to axle mass proposals By Alan Peat

The battle against the department of transport (DoT) proposal to reduce the permissible single rear axle mass for freight vehicles from the current 9 000-kilograms to 8 000-kgs goes on apace, with an urgent meeting having been held between the Road Freight Association (RFA) and the department on December 9. This, said the DoT, was a move to save damage to the already deteriorated secondary road system – and included the lower permissible mass, a move to rail, and prohibiting the road transport of certain (as yet unnamed) commodities on the secondary system. But, while the DoT appeared to be looking at

this as a possible answer, the immediate reaction from RFA CEO, Sharmini Naidoo, was that it was not a feasible solution. She added that it also failed to recognise the true reason for the deteriorating roads. The department’s own research, she said, showed that “no funds are available to continually sustain repair and research – and that the network has a five-year lifespan left before collapse.” But at least, after an initial failure to get any sort of official response from the DoT, the December 9 meeting was finally agreed to, according to Gavin Kelly, technical and operations manager of the RFA. “We met with two deputy director-generals and were

informed that an internal strategy meeting was being held within the DoT on December 17,” he told FTW. “This was to look at the axle-mass issue in terms of Natmap (the national transport masterplan), and we were urgently requested to submit our full detailed comments on the issue for consideration at the meeting.” Despite the time restraints, the RFA was able to submit a lengthy document outlining its feelings to Lanfranc Situma, the deputy director-general of integrated planning and intersphere co-ordination. The document initially outlined what the RFA judged as the reasons for the continued disintegration of the secondary road network.

Sharmini Naidoo … ‘Road network has a five-year lifespan left before collapse.’

Gavin Kelly … ‘All present and future road user charges must be ring-fenced for road requirements.’

It said that no periodic maintenance, repair or development had been done over the past few years, and that budget allocations for road had been appropriated for other programmes. A second reason, it added, was that dedicated road user revenue streams (like fuel

levies, licence fees, permit fees, general tax allocations, fines) had not been utilised for road maintenance. The third reason cited a lack of foresight and forward planning at departmental level – with the RFA pointing out that many roads were not To page 20

New reefer service delayed Wicks says new starting date is January 20 By Ray Smuts

Shipping’s new reefer De Bruyn says the service between South discussions took place Africa/Europe/West Africa, against the background of the maiden voyage will MSC’s initial cancellation of sail from Cape Town no its “Week 52/53” sailing (end later than January 20, of December/beginning of according to founder and January) to Europe.

intent on keeping any new enterprise out, even though he believes there is a place in the market for a small, focused, niche operator. MBG general manager, Pamela Yerushalmy, tells FTW the lines remain “fiercely” protective of what is a lucrative trade between South Africa/Europe and the UK. But the fruit industry continues to grow and fruit needs to be moved at all costs, on top of which the majority of fruit exported is shipped in containers these days. MBG’s dilemma at the outset was its inability to source enough containers (350 FEUs required a week) to maintain a scheduled and viable weekly service, due to the unwillingness of major container leasing companies to supply.

One wonders, as suspects Wicks, whether this may not stem from the “Lonrho debacle” (his description), when the pan-African conglomerate, after investing millions of dollars to acquire a majority stake in SA Independent Liner Services (Sails) but unhappy over the line’s performance, applied to the Cape high court for its winding up. This came at a time when Wicks, MD of Sails, had been on suspension for six months and therefore was not in control of the business. According to Wicks, Sanek Trust, the liquidators, immediately cancelled all existing container leases and ship charter agreements, leaving the container companies and shippers in the dark about the whereabouts of their boxes.

SA stands accused! Reduction in axle mass loads seen as non-tariff barrier By Liesl Venter South Africa’s intention to change axle mass loads from 9-tons per four-wheel axle to 8-tons contradicts a regional agreement signed last year. South Africa’s minister of transport in May 2009 signed an agreement with neighbouring countries

that 10 tons would be the regional norm, even though at the time the country noted that it would not be adopting the 10 tons at the time. “South Africa definitely accepted the recommendation for the region that was 10 tons on a single axle,” says Barney Curtis, executive director

of the Federation of East and Southern African Road Transport Associations (Fesarta). “And not even six months later the Department of Transport announced its intention to reduce axle mass from 9-tons to 8-tons.” Curtis said while the DoT had since admitted that the notification of the

reduction in axle masses and the removal of certain commodities off the secondary road network was premature, the move by the country was definitely seen as a non-tariff barrier. “We are in the process of putting a submission together which we will give to SADC as we believe South Africa’s move to axle

mass reductions is a nontariff barrier that must be addressed.” In the meantime the South African Road Freight Association has also met with the DoT and has also put together extensive legal documentation in its attempts to prevent the DoT from implementing the reductions.

Recovery will be slow - Busa

Jerry Vilakazi and Raymond Parsons ... ‘The pace of the global recovery will be an essential factor.’

By Liesl Venter South Africa may technically be out of a recession but the road ahead for the country’s economy will not be easy, according to Business Unity

South Africa (Busa). Speaking on the forecasts for 2010, Busa deputy chief executive officer Raymond Parsons said the economy remained extremely weak and a slow recovery was expected

in coming months. “Busa believes South Africa has technically ended its recession and we see that inflation has dipped into the target band,” said Parsons. “These are positive signs, but

they must not detract from the reality that our economy remains weak.” He said it was now more important than ever not to administer any shocks to the economy. Describing 2010 as the year of recovery, he said it was important for South Africa to do better in coming months. “We forecast the gross domestic product for 2010 at about 2.2%. Our recovery will be slow and the pace of the global recovery will be an essential factor.” Busa CEO Jerry Vilakazi said employment growth continued to lag the economic recovery. “Poverty remains a major threat to social cohesion in South Africa,” he said. And with debt still a major concern he said these were all issues that were of concern to businesses. “Today’s difficult economic environment underscores the importance of not losing sight of long-

term competitiveness fundamentals and shortterm urgencies. Competitive economies are those that have in place factors driving the productivity enhancements on which their present and future prosperity is built.” Vilakazi said an environment supporting competition could help the economy weather business cycle downturns and ensure that the mechanisms enabling solid economic performance were in place. According to Parsons it was important to boost job creation and productivity while also looking at developing new and better business models for parastatals such as Eskom. “Policies to encourage a recovery should not burden future generations with large pubic debt, high inflation rates and low growth. The Budget in February 2010 should indicate how the fiscal deficit will gradually be wound down.”

‘More international trade networks crucial’ By Liesl Venter The establishment of more international trade networks will be high on the agenda of Business Unity South Africa (Busa) in the coming months. According to CEO Jerry Vilakazi, advancing the interests of South African

businesses internationally is of utmost importance to the organisation, which led several business delegations to Angola, Brazil and Zambia as part of state visits of President Jacob Zuma in 2009. “We also confirmed our linkages with partners in Russia, India, Brazil, China, Korea

and France,” said Vilakazi. “If we learnt one thing out of the recession and global economic crisis, it was that trade networks must be diversified. This is an important undertaking for us in 2010.” Vilakazi said Busa would continue to support the high-level initiatives of

government to promote South African business interests in other countries and would encourage greater levels of inward investment. “We will also be strengthening our networks with export councils, chambers of commerce and foreign chambers to ensure

there is a better coordinated approach to trade and investment promotion by South Africa.” According to Vilakazi a code of conduct for South African companies operating in foreign markets is being developed and will be launched later this year.

Kwela plans bonded warehouse in CT Negotiations under way with Sars for storage of duty-free imported cargo By Carrie Curzon Warehousing facility Kwela Logistics has recorded significant growth, despite recent hard times, according to commercial and administration manager Manie Kruger. Previously well known as a large Leyland vehicle plant, the site was stripped in 2003 and Kwela Logistics took the extensive property over ‘for a song’, with a staff of six and a mere five customers. Situated within easy reach of Cape Town, Stellenbosch and Paarl, today the company has grown to a customer base of 130 and about 50 staff. Plans are currently under way to open a bonded (export) warehouse early next year. “We are most optimistic about the future,” says Kruger. “Negotiations with Sars Customs and Excise are

under way right now for the storage of duty-free imported cargo, and we believe that this would make Kwela the only such facility in Cape Town.” Kwela is a 100% owned subsidiary, its business being in third-party warehousing and local distribution handled by its own fleet. The business currently operates out of two warehouses: Blackheath (14 000m 2) in the Western Cape, and Pomona (4500m 2) in Gauteng. Storing anything from pet food and crockery to gas cylinders and generators, Kwela is a licensed food storage facility and adheres to all safety requirements and Sars regulations. Just two years ago a wine store was added which has proved an ideal site for the local wineries. The management team comprising Lionel Karshagen (general

manager), Stephen Pugh (logistics and operations), and Manie Kruger (commercial and administration), has notched up over 100 years’ experience in the industry between them. Last year Kwela expanded

business to Johannesburg which, according to Pugh, is still in the growing stages. “Obviously we have suffered from the recession and everyone has been cutting back. This has been our toughest time yet, but

we are pleased that our customer base has remained unchanged and we have managed to expand to Johannesburg.” “Kwela” is a Xhosa word meaning “Let’s Get On”, an appropriate slogan for the up and coming business.

Airlink problems have ‘minimal’ effect on cargo arm By Alan Peat The grounding of the 14 Jetstream 41 aircraft of SA Airlink’s 41-strong fleet has had only a minimal effect on cargo movement, according to Alwyn Rautenbach, MD of Airlink Cargo. “For us, there was very little impact,” he told FTW. “The J41 is a small aircraft with only a small cargo-carrying capacity. “Anyway, the airline has replaced these missing aircraft with larger planes, although the schedule frequency has been reduced.” The suspension of the airworthiness certificates of the 14 aircraft by the SA Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA) at midnight on Wednesday December 20 came after four Airlink planes had been involved in incidents since September 2009, and the

airworthiness of the fleet could not be guaranteed. The SACAA inspection of the first four airplanes has started – and FTW is led to believe that the certificates of these airplanes could soon be reinstated. The suspension was triggered by an incident on December 20 when smoke was seen coming from one of the engines of an Airlink J41 that was set to take off from Nelspruit. The oil pressure was also low. According to the SACAA, the problems were similar to those experienced by the plane that went down in Durban in September – an incident in which the pilot eventually died in hospital, with the two other crew members and a bystander on the ground also injured. The reason for the Durban accident, said the SACAA accident report, was because

“the engine had suffered a catastrophic failure due to a fatigue failure of the second stage rotating air seal”. The problem is that this failure in these Honeywell engines is not new. The SACAA told FTW that “this kind of failure appears to be the 13th known similar cause of failure of this type of engine”. Meantime, the result of the report findings in the Durban incident saw the SACAA making the following interim safety recommendation to the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). “The FAA should require Honeywell Aerospace to expedite efforts to produce an engineering solution to the problem of second stage turbine rotating air seal failures on Honeywell TPE331-14G/H engines,” said the authority.

Giovanni Bisignani ... ‘2010 will be a year of rebuilding.’

Airfreight demand on the up As the world emerges from recession, freight demand recorded a 9.5% improvement in November last year, according to the latest International Air Transport Association (Iata) traffic results. Passenger load factors remained at pre-crisis levels of 75.4% while freight load factors stood at 56.6%. “Demand continues to improve, but we still have a lot of ground to recover,”

said Giovanni Bisignani, Iata’s director general and CEO. Carriers in Africa recorded growth of 8.1% while European carriers were the only group to post a drop in traffic, recording a 5.6% fall in demand, reflecting the lingering economic malaise in the region. “For aviation, 2010 will be a year of rebuilding,” said Bisignani.

R56-million Mthatha Airport upgrade takes off By Ed Richardson Work has started on the first phase of the R56-million upgrade to the Mthatha Airport. Eastern Cape MEC for Transport, Safety and Liaison, Ghishma

Barry, told the provincial legislature recently that the project was scheduled for completion in May 2010. It includes the building of a temporary relocation structure, terminal building upgrade, civil works and fencing.

A lighting upgrade has already been completed and inspected by the South African Civil Aviation Authority for the granting of a night rating. The main aim is to improve the capacity, use and management of

the airport as a “viable economic asset,” according to Barry. Currently the airport receives Airlink flights from Johannesburg daily and other small aircraft that land during the day. “We would like to have

an airline between Cape Town and Mthatha via Bhisho. An important goal is to link Port Elizabeth to Mthatha via Bhisho with the service geared for faster movement between these three areas,” said Barry.

Emirates to add Madrid in August August 1 will see the launch by Emirates of a daily, non-stop service between Dubai and Madrid – the airline’s 25th destination

in Europe. It’s the fourth new destination to be announced by Emirates for 2010 after Tokyo, Amsterdam and Prague.

All aboard – An Airbus A330-200 will serve the Dubai-Madrid route when services start on August 1. Emirates SkyCargo already has two weekly Boeing 747 freighter flights to the Spanish city of Zaragoza.

‘Airlines who played the discount game face difficult year’ During much of last year the much-desired “light at the end of the tunnel” was, according to Gerd von Mansberg, MD of The Cargo Connection, “reduced to a mere glimmer”. “But,” he told FTW, “since November it has lit up and now seems like a 60-w globe.” An example of this, he pointed out, was air exports increasing – as the consignee countries’ economies again begin to show growth. But many members of the aviation industry have been trying to find ways of overcoming the detrimental situation during the recent economic crisis – exercises for which they may suffer later. “Most airlines have played the discount and ‘special market rates’ game,” said Von Mansberg. “They are the ones who will find it tough to get the rates back up. “Others have just sat it out at lower volumes but have

protected their yields. The sensible ones? I think so!” Amongst those who have used the recent recession in a more productive manner, Von Mansberg cited Egyptair as an example. “That airline used the opportunity to revise its commercial strategy – having its first-ever Worldwide Cargo Conference in October 2009. “One outcome of this was that Egyptair Cargo has stated that it is an African carrier and not Middle Eastern.” Von Mansberg saw that as a shift in the airline’s thinking – with the likely result that more focus will go to African development. “It was triggered by new fresh thinking and participation from the airline’s 51 country offices – and the beneficial consequence was that a new way forward has been plotted. “I attended this conference,

and came away very enthused and knowing that we are now really attending to the needs of our clients – the forwarders. Another happy thought in Von Mansberg’s mind is that the Cargo Connection started selling Air Namibia from November. “Their special pro-rate agreements with other airlines had begun to lapse,” he told FTW, “so a first step has been for us to enter into an SPA with Airlink Cargo, and also get busy renewing two others with international carriers. “This has resulted in a new route to Lusaka, Zambia, another route to Accra in Ghana, and a widebody connection between Windhoek and Luanda in Angola.” The temporary grounding of the 14 Jetstream 41 aircraft in Airlink’s fleet has also had no real effect on the cargo relationship with The Cargo

Connection, according to Von Mansberg. “Airlink Cargo is working on their development, even within the restraints due to this temporary grounding,” he said. “Aircraft have been hired in, and there have been schedule and frequency changes. “But, generally, we are still servicing the African regional clients as well as ever. All this has meant in many cases is one bigger plane versus two

smaller ones.” And, despite a host of rumours last year about an imminent shut-down of the cash-strapped carrier, Air Zimbabwe, it is doing business as usual, according to Von Mansberg. “Indeed,” he said, “due to some wide-body operations in December the tonnages are up. And an amazing fact is that their on-time-departure statistics put many African carriers to shame.

Not always a happy resolution ... Carriers can avoid piracy-ridden areas by rerouting or accepting additional risks and costs.

Piracy-driven rerouting costs shipowners billions of dollars By Ed Richardson Piracy off the east coast of Africa is having wideranging repercussions and is threatening global seaborne trade, according to the 2009 Unctad Review of Maritime Transport. (RMT) released in December 2009. According to the review, over 80% of international seaborne trade that moves through the Gulf of Aden is with Europe. Piracy also “impacts on energy security and the environment. By hijacking large tankers, seizing their cargoes, and delaying or preventing their delivery, and by causing oil spills or other incidents causing environmental damage,

piracy poses additional risks and costs to all,” says the report. Carriers can either avoid the piracy-ridden areas by rerouting their ships via the Cape of Good Hope, or

‘Costs will ultimately be passed on to shippers and consumers.’ accept additional risks and costs and continue to sail along the same lanes. While this is good news for South Africa, it is likely to affect the viability of the Suez Canal Authority, as well as various Mediterranean port authorities and terminals

as they see their revenues literally going south. Based on 2007 data, the total annual round-trip costs of routing through the Suez Canal has been estimated at US$25.7-billion. The equivalent cost for routing round the Cape of Good Hope is US$32.2-billion, according to the report. “Taking into account all cost factors, it was estimated that re-routing 33% of cargo via the Cape would cost shipowners an additional US$7.5-billion per annum. “These costs will ultimately be passed on to shippers and consumers,” it says.

Pirates pack year-end punch By Ray Smuts Despite some success by multinational anti-piracy task forces, Somali pirates had a ‘field year’ in 2009, netting well over US$50 million and placing a final stamp on their presence by capturing two vessels days before 2009 ran out of steam. In the wake of a US$4 million, helicopterdelivered ransom for the release of a Chinese-owned bulk carrier captured on October 18 while en route with a cargo of coal from South Africa to India, and the December 28 release, for an unspecified ransom, of a PIL vessel, Kota Wajar, came news of further Somali

piracy successes. First they seized the UK-flagged tanker, St James Park, the first to be hijacked in the Gulf of Aden (off the Somali coast) for nearly six months, while sailing from Spain to Thailand. Three hours later, a Panamanian carrier was seized off the Somali coast, accounting for 45 crew (between the two vessels) now held hostage. The EU Naval Task Force confirmed the latest incidents increased the number of attacks off East Africa/Gulf of Aden to 214 by the end of 2009 – 47 vessels seized of which 12 ships and 263 crew remain in the hands of the pirates.

RFA’s anti-axle mass reduction petition gains momentum Members to spell out the costs of the action By Liesl Venter More than 250 people have signed the Road Freight Association’s (RFA) online petition against the Department of Transport’s proposed reduction in rear axle mass loads (See page 1). The RFA called on organisations and individuals to sign the

petition in an effort to gain as much support against the DoT, which towards the end of 2009 indicated its intention to reduce single rear axle mass loads from 9000kg to 8000kg while also wanting to prohibit the movement of certain goods on the secondary road network. While the DoT has

remained silent following its initial communication to the RFA about what it has dubbed the Road Freight Strategy, a project that is aimed at addressing the deteriorating road network by reducing rear axle mass loads, reducing loads on the secondary road network and revitalising rail in the country, the RFA has been

lobbying for support not just from transporters and freight forwarders in South Africa but also their counterparts in neighbouring countries. “Without trucks, South Africa stops,” says the RFA’s Gavin Kelly. He said the petition, which can be found online on the RFA’s website, will be included in its motivation

against the proposed reduction in rear axle mass loads. He said they would also like to include figures on the financial impact of the proposal on operators and have called on their members and all other role-players to provide annual figures in rands on the cost to their business of reduced loads.

Supply chain CEOs ‘optimistic’ – survey Early indications are that the country’s major industries are taking an optimistic and strategically positive view of the ways in which South Africa’s supply chains will enable recovery from the recession. That’s according to the soon-to-be-launched supplychainforesight

research study sponsored by Barloworld Logistics and conducted by international research specialists Frost & Sullivan. In the 2009 study, South African CEOs were addressing the recessionary conditions by aligning supply chain and business strategies. This was seen as a survival tactic, designed

to reduce costs and increase efficiencies. The focus of the 2010 research, however, is not on survival, but on approaches to the upturn, and how South Africa’s industries can become more competitive in what is bound to be a more chastened and cautious post-recession

no excuses

economic world. South African CEOs have therefore already begun to focus on strategic alignment, lead time reduction and the use of, especially, ERP technology. This can represent a competitive advantage for markets like South Africa’s that are geographically remote from major markets.

Full details of the CEO and senior supply chain executive views of the country’s supply chains post-recession will be revealed at the upcoming national launch of the supplychainforesight research, early in 2010. More details are available at www.supplychainforesight. co.za

Saaff and Fiata map out a way forward New set of guidelines for agents The SA Association of Freight Forwarders has simplified the list of minimum requirements for agents keen to complete the Fiata training programme. “This follows an immensely productive workshop hosted in Johannesburg by Saaff National , which involved an in depth, far ranging dialogue between Thomas Sim, chairman Fiata Advisory Body Vocational Training, regional Saaff representatives, representatives of Saaff member companies and service providers,” Saaff’s Tony d’Almeida told FTW. “The main objectives were to establish the connectivity of the minimum criteria of Tony d’Almeida ...Aligning training to the evolving requirements of Fiata and the SA vocational skills strategies.

the Fiata Diploma, our own NQF level 3 and 4 Learnership Qualifications and the assessment methods required by Fiata to establish competency against these minimum requirements,” he said. The following guidelines

‘Saaff will check out the application and assess the learner using appropriate tools.’ will apply for agents planning to register for the Fiata diploma: • A minimum of 5 years’ experience in the different departments of a freight forwarding and customs (international logistics) operation • Successful completion of the NQF 3 and 4 Qualifications which may be achieved via formal Teta Learnership programmes,

skills programmes or Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) against the relevant qualifications. When a competent learner is identified by a service provider or employer, he/she can be nominated for the Fiata diploma to Saaff. The process after that is simple. Saaff will check out the application, outline the cost of the application and certification, and assess the learner using appropriate tools. “We have mapped out a way forward,” D’Almeida said. “This will enable Saaff and its constituent providers to work together in aligning training to the evolving requirements of both Fiata and the SA vocational skills strategies.” Further information is available from D’Almeida who looks after Saaff’s education portfolio.

New transport company registers 250% growth By Liesl Venter Recessionary times, more often than not, see companies treading conservatively while looking for ways to cut costs, but not at NGL Group of Companies. Taking the bull by the horns directors Mark Scott and Quinton de Villiers launched a new subsidiary, NGL Fleet Services, in May 2009 amidst a global economic meltdown. “We were outsourcing a lot of work and it made more sense to bring it in-house resulting in NGL Fleet Services,” says De Villiers. “It may have seemed strange to competitors and clients alike when we decided to launch a new company in the middle of the recession, but it is a decision that has paid off.” Within six months the newest addition to the group had shown its worth. A recent financial audit

showed the company had grown by a staggering 250%. “And it is still growing,” says De Villiers. “Strategically we do not want to grow too fast too soon and bite off more than we can chew, but we are very happy with the

progress that has been made and the direction this new venture has taken.” Having brought on board Gert Blignaut – who has extensive experience in fleet management – to manage the new company, the aim is to ensure it

grows even more in the next six months. “We are very realistic about where we are heading with NGL Fleet Services. We believe that it has been successful so far because it offers a valued service that is needed in

the industry.” Offering a same-day and overnight delivery service, NGL Fleet Services has proved that recessionary times don’t necessarily mean no work. “For us it was the right time to expand,” says De Villiers.

Industry leaders’ predictions fall short of reality I have had occasion to read the Freight & Container Weekly (precursor to FTW) dated August 21-28, 1987. It contained a special feature titled “The next 10 years”. Amongst the respondents who were asked to look into their crystal balls were youthful-looking industry leaders – Tiger Wessels, Barry Saxton, Richard Wilkinson and Pat Henegan. Here are some of the interesting statements made: “the emphasis will be away from clearing and into forwarding”; “there will be a few large companies and some small operators who have two or three accounts”; “80% of all import and export transactions entrusted to agents are handled by Renfreight, Safcor, Grindrod Cotts, WTC and Micor”; “there are two key requirements – people skills and the systems behind the people”; “own computer systems and satellite communications

will assist agents to rapidly move away from being paper pushers and into a paperless society”. Actual experience over the past 22 years shows how difficult it is to project the future of this challenging industry of ours. Customs clearance is very much alive and a significant source of an agent’s income. There are many, many smaller to medium-sized agents who are making a very nice living. The top five agents certainly do not control 80% of the business. Where oh! where is the pool of trained people so desperately needed? And our game is far off being paperless although EDI has certainly helped. In the same edition there is an article headed “SATS outlines express masterplan”. A subtitle claims “160kph freight trains will link 50 distribution points”.

Commentary then suggested that the country’s biggest freight operator, branded as inefficient and unreliable, was changing its image, thanks mainly to the introduction of PX container rates and the Fast Freight service. Jan Rhoodie was quoted as saying that the express transport market would consist of SATS and a number of road hauliers – a few medium to small companies who would specialise in the conveyance of specific commodities. How wrong can the future be! Why not get the current industry leaders to give their views on the second decade of the 21 century?

Busa calls for new Eskom funding model ‘Increasing tariffs year-on-year is not a solution’ By Liesl Venter Business Unity South Africa has called for a new funding model for Eskom as well as a change in its regulatory regime. “We are very concerned about the leadership issues at Eskom and in the state-owned entities in general,” said Busa CEO Jerry Vilakazi. “We aim to engage actively with government in 2010 about our concerns and what we believe are possible solutions.” Having made a formal submission to the National Energy Regulator of South Africa (Nersa) in December on Eskom’s proposed tariff rate increases, Vilakazi said

it was clear that Eskom was not in a position to meet the energy needs of South Africa. “Increasing tariffs yearon-year is not a solution. Tariff increases cannot be the only instrument in creating capacity. Eskom can no longer be both referee and player.” He said Eskom’s requested tariff increase of 35% needed to be critically evaluated even if it was some 10% less than its initial request of 45% per year for the next three years. “We have done considerable work in recent years on the security of energy supply in South Africa and it will remain high on our 2010 agenda.”

Citrus exporters spell out the extra costs of high cube ban By James Hall The region’s citrus industry has expressed its relief that the high cube contretemps erupted just after the last of the season’s exports had arrived at Durban port last year. But growers and their transporters are concerned that if a resolution is not reached by the time 2010’s crop starts rolling out, a costly crisis will result.

“We have a huge percentage of our fruit going by high cubes. Forty percent and perhaps up to half of our product is shipped in high cubes. Certainly it will have a massive impact if the issue is not resolved,” Justin Chadwick, CEO of the Citrus Growers’ Association (CGA), told FTW. Vehicles transporting high cubes were pulled off the roads

in KwaZulu/Natal , a province through which most SA citrus travels en route to Durban’s port. “There are also government plans to limit the weight of vehicles on rural roads. This will add new impetus to our efforts to move more fruit by rail, but there are many places where rail lines don’t reach. If high cubes are banned or weight restrictions reduce

vehicle sizes on rural roads then it will mean growers will have to use smaller containers,” Chadwick said. If smaller containers are employed, higher transport costs will result. If such costs are added onto the product

price, this will make SA citrus less competitive globally and add to consumer prices domestically. The CGA does not have a representative in talks with government transport officials, but Chadwick said import/ export firms and other players in the fruit industry who share citrus transporters’ concerns were engaged in discussions to resolve the high cube issue.

Ndebele has high hopes for demerit system By Liesl Venter There is no doubt that the Administrative Adjudication of Road Traffic Offences (Aarto), set to be implemented throughout South Africa later this year, will significantly reduce road crashes and deaths. Speaking at a press conference in Pretoria

recently, Transport Minister Sibusiso Ndebele said the implementation of Aarto and the Points Demerit System would certainly reduce lawlessness on the country’s roads and contribute significantly to a reduction in road crashes and deaths. “Aarto will also improve the overall safety of road users and encourage

responsible road behaviour. The objectives of Aarto include penalising drivers and operators who are guilty of infringements or offences through the imposition of demerit points leading to the suspension and cancellation of driving licences, professional driving permits or operator cards," said the Minister.

According to preliminary reports, more than 1 100 deaths were recorded on South Africa's roads between 1 and 31 December 2009. Between 1 and 6 January 2010, 103 fatalities were recorded. Meanwhile, Minister Ndebele has described as "ludicrous" claims that road fatality statistics were being fixed. "Claims

that the road fatality statistics were being fixed are ludicrous.

Regional lobbying group to promote rail option By James Hall Moves are afoot to create a Southern African lobbying group to promote the use of rail transport regionally, Gideon Mahalalela, past president of the Southern African Railways Association (Sara), told FTW. “Rail is a cheaper and more environmentally friendly way to move cargo than road or air, and goes places sea transport can’t reach. But we need to do more to lobby governments,” said Mahlalela. To this end, regional rail companies under the Sara banner will push the case for rail use at the SADC Secretariat in Windhoek. “SADC sets regional transportation policy, and all governments sign on. It is up to the individual governments to then implement the policy,” said Mahlalela, explaining a strategy aimed at the regional body rather than a scatter-shot approach targeting individual nations. All Southern African countries are represented in Sara with the exception of Lesotho, which has no rail system but aspires to acquire one. “We want to press the case that rail is cost-

efficient and is better environmentally. We have always sought a level playing field for rail because road transport is subsidised by public money that is used to build the road infrastructure. Governments don’t build rail infrastructure. We, the rail companies do. But the public stands to benefit from greater rail use,” said Mahlalela, who is CEO of Swaziland Railways. He did not say when the lobbying body would be established or whom it would comprise, but he said all Sara member rail lines were being consulted on the initiative.

Custom Made Your regular specialist column on customs-related issues By Mark Boucher

Don’t miss this opportunity to influence Customs legislation! Last year, a year of continued recession, was a real challenge and struggle for the survival of individuals and companies alike, and reminded us of the dangers of complacency and shortsightedness. It was also a year of exciting developments on the Customs front with Customs attempting to improve its level of service and simplify certain processes. Some of the developments that took place during 2009 were: • the unveiling of the Customs Modernisation Programme; • major improvements in electronic communication with Sars and Customs in particular; • the publication by Customs of the discussion document on Customs/Excise

Administrative Monetary Penalty System (CAMPS/ EAMPS); • the release of the draft Customs Control and Customs Duty Bills for public comment. Most dedicated and conscientious individuals wishing to make a contribution to governing customs legislation will have spent the Christmas and New Year period scrutinising the draft Customs Bills before the deadline for comment on February 26. We wish to encourage all to participate in the various processes of change taking place, no matter how small the contribution may be. This is your opportunity to influence the legislation governing

Customs procedures. Many experts believe that 2010 will be a year of growth for most well-run companies. This will lead to the need to hire/re-hire qualified staff. When hiring staff, a thorough screening process is recommended. Furthermore, with all the changes that have taken place and are still due to take place in the New Year, we recommend that all new and existing staff undergo Customs-specific refresher courses/seminars to ensure that the potential for growth is not stifled by bad decisions or processes due to lack of knowledge. We hope 2010 will be a prosperous year for all of you and that we can continue to be your partners in growth.

High hopes for resolution of high-cube crisis Discussion between freight industry bodies and the DoT on the agenda By Alan Peat It was a great Christmas present for the SA container road transport industry, as the KwaZulu Natal traffic authorities called off their extensive blitz on vehicles carrying high-cube containers (with a travel height of 4.5-4.6-metres) from December 23. Prior to this, the KZN traffic cops were busy pulling high-cube carrying trucks off the road, impounding them, and slapping fines on the operators. This threatened to put

offending operators out of business, and the only answer at the time, truckers told FTW, was for them to refuse to haul the offending loads. But that doesn’t mean that the overall problem has been nationally cured. Not that this would be too big a problem, according to Peter Newton, director of Seaboard, and a well-known Cape-based commentator on transport matters. “The height limitation is embedded in the regulations,” he told FTW, “not the Road Traffic Act itself. “So, we are told, the

minister of transport has the power to change/amend the regulations without having to debate the matter in parliament.” But, he added, attempts via the DoT to have him do so have not been successful to date. And it would require no major sort of word juggling in the regulations. “As we’ve repeatedly pointed out,” said Newton, “all we need is for the regulation to be amended by the insertion of two commas, and three words, viz: “double-decker buses, and iso containers, not

exceeding 4.65-m”. “Then all our problems in this context would be over. But the 64-dollar question is: When?” In a sense the crisis, which has arisen in the past couple of weeks (and is so far restricted to KZN) is a good thing, he added. “It has brought to a head (with all the attendant publicity) a matter which has been festering for years.” And Gavin Kelly, technical and operations manager of the Road Freight Association (RFA), has distinct hopes that this issue could soon be up for high level discussion between

road transport and freight industry bodies and the DoT. “First,” he told FTW, “we are trying to put together a meeting with the other business associations in the industry – in an attempt to put our thoughts on the matter together as a unified argument. “The department has been talking about a meeting with the interested parties in the private sector early this year. And we are seriously trusting that this promise will be fulfilled, and a meeting will be held, we hope at ministerial level.”

that responsibility for roads around the country is spread over just too many government and provincial bodies for decent co-ordination of road works to take place. “All major transportation routes (whether secondary or primary),” said Kelly, “should be handed over to the SA National Roads Agency Limited (Sanral). This would ensure that routes are properly maintained for safe and efficient traffic flows.” Steps should also be taken to preserve supposed road funding taxes and levies for that purpose. “All present and future road user charges/revenue streams (like fuel levies, licence fees, permits, budget allocations, traffic fines) must be ringfenced for road requirements.” Planned maintenance must also become the norm, Kelly added.

The RFA also feels that there is a need to develop a freight corridor programme. “This,” said Kelly, “would see most weight and volume kept on the primary road network – with secondary roads only being used for distribution where necessitated by demand and supply.”

In an interview with FTW in the first week of the year, Kelly said that he had, until then, no idea whether the proposed internal strategy meeting at the DoT had actually taken place – nor how the RFA’s documentation/ input and comment had been received.

From page 1 originally built for either the weight or the traffic volumes now experienced. A final accusation is laid at provincial level, and a failure to prevent misuse of the road structure by the less-scrupulous amongst road transporters. “Provinces,” said the RFA document, “have not effectively policed road traffic matters.” Kelly then summarised seven proposed solutions for FTW. A first he directed at the country’s road transport management system (RTMS). “Under this,” he said, “real penalties for not complying should be fed into a dedicated road fund. Also, as part of RTMS accreditation, a levy should be included that can be ring-fenced for roads. “In addition, we feel that operators should be offered
