Bothma case stalled until September BY Alan Peat The case against Dr Piet Bothma, former CE of the Transport Education and Training Authority (Teta), has stalled until at least September 1. Bothma has been charged with fraud after investing what was originally estimated to be R251.8-million of Teta’s

funds in Fidentia – the finance group that collapsed in 2007 with huge amounts of its supposed investment monies missing. A key figure in the Fidentia scandal, Steve Goodwin, revealed in his plea agreement last week with the Cape High Court – that led to him being jailed for an effective 10 years – that he had played a key

Playing ball … By Carrie Curzon Disadvantaged school kids in Montague were treated to an inspiring soccer session with local stars last week when the Laser Group launched its commitment to the ‘Let’s Play a Million Campaign’. In true sporting spirit in the run-up to FIFA 2010, Laser has announced its sponsorship of R250 000 that will ensure the distribution of 10 000 soccer

balls for needy primary schools around the country. Laser has partnered with SuperSport’s ‘Let’s Play a Million Campaign’ – a joint initiative with Unicef and the Department of Education’s Sport for Development campaign. Said Laser’s CEO Philip Hayes: “All kids love sport and we are hopefully providing them with an alternative to the crime and other social ills in their communities.”

role in getting Teta to transfer investments to Fidentia's control. To do this, he said he paid Bothma bribes totalling R4.6-m, which were disguised first as commission payments, then as a sale of shares in a shell company that had no assets. Although the plea agreement does not mention

the amount of the investments, it is reported that, according to other prosecution documents, it involved promissory notes worth just over R100-m. Another part of Goodwin’s deal is that he will testify in criminal proceedings against his former associate, ex-Fidentia boss J Arthur Brown. But a Cape High Court

application is pending in which Brown is seeking an order to stop his prosecution on embezzlement charges, or to at least stop the investigation. And, according to a Cape Town journalist source, this will not be heard till September 1, and until then the other trials can go no further.

Swift adds Malawi to service offering By Alan Peat The rapid growth in the movement of containers and containerised goods overborder has persuaded the Durban-based Swift Container Logistics to expand its offerings and add Malawi to its

list of serviced neighbouring states, according to MD Ted Randall. “This,” he told FTW, “is being added to our current cabotage service, where we allocate containers to shippers for the onward shipment of their goods, and our container

MSC expands service network With service cutbacks the order of the day in the current economic climate, Mediterranean Shipping Company is bucking the trend. April saw the introduction of two new services by MSC linking North, Central and South American ports on the Pacific Coast. The line’s new Puma Service provides a weekly frequency between Balboa, Long Beach, Oakland, Manzanillo and Puerto Caldera with fortnightly calls at Salina Cruz, Mazatlan,

Puerto Quetzal and Acajutla. The MSC Peru inaugurated the service, with the first sailing from Balboa on April 29. MSC’s Condor Service, launched on April 18 with the sailing from Balboa of MSC Paola, offers a weekly frequency between Balboa, Callao, Paita, Guayaquil and Buenaventura. “Calls at Balboa will enable both services to connect with the full range of our extensive coverage transiting the Panama Canal,” a spokesman said.

rental functions in Zimbabwe and Zambia.” This latter sees the rental of containers to overborder transporters, who have the choice of returning the boxes either direct to SA, or to Swift collection depots in Kitwe, Zambia or Harare, Zimbabwe.

“We are now concentrating on promoting this new service into Malawi,” Randall said, “with the overborder collection of returned containers in either Lilongwe or Bantyre.” Swift Container Logistics’ other activity is container sales – acquiring used boxes from

shipping lines and container leasing operations and selling them on to the end users. “We are able to offer containers of any size and type,” said Randall, “and our present focus is on keeping prices down so they’re affordable.”

Gerald Rowe joins GTT board

Gerald Rowe … ‘Competitiveness of different supply chains plays an increasingly distinguishing role.’ Gerald Rowe, managing director of a hartrodt South Africa, has been appointed to the board of directors of forwarding industry

training provider Global Trade Training (GTT). “We see a hartrodt as a strong company that is expanding on many fronts. On a worldwide basis we see significant synergies in becoming involved with a company like GTT because it has the potential to raise levels of competency across the supply chain in every area of the world in which a hartrodt operates as well as those into which we will grow,” said Rowe of his decision to join the board. “We function in an environment in which competition between different freight forwarding companies decreases in significance whilst the competitiveness of different supply chains plays an increasing role in distinguishing between the

average and the exceptional. “In such an environment cooperation between role players is key. GTT, with its strong freight forwarder shareholding, represents a valuable asset as industry’s partner for the future.” Rowe believes that in order to exploit the available opportunities, freight forwarders require enhanced levels of competency, not only in the traditional areas of moving cargo internationally but also in the end-to-end management of inventory. “My primary role at GTT will be to harness the resources of our stakeholders so that GTT can become a profitable, sustainable entity through the diversification of its product offerings, its market penetration and its training delivery methodologies.”

New NVOCC to offer worldwide service Network of partners and agents in 71 countries By Alan Peat In a new SA-Scandinavia marriage, the locally-based Global Star Shipping and United Shipping Services (USS) of Sweden have entered into a joint venture in SA to establish Aseco Container Services.

‘Offering access to a range of quality carriers on each trade lane.’ Aseco (Agence Service èt Conteneurs), according to Global MD Dave Orchard, will open its doors on June 1 as agents for TMCL Container Line – a non-assetbased shipping company. Orchard and Eugene Murugan, the owners of Global Star Shipping, told FTW that they were “excited about the new challenges and upbeat about the future of the new company”. Although Aseco will be

headed up by Orchard – based in the Durban head office – there are well-known names in the management team. Pamela Yerushalmy – formerly GM of CMA CGM Shipping Agency – will be Aseco GM based in Johannesburg, while the branch managers are Peter De Vries in Durban and Gary Eagar in Cape Town. “USS became the owners of Aseco in 2001,” said Orchard, “and pursued the original idea of a European agency network. Today offices are operative in Scandinavia, Finland, Russia, the Baltic States, Central Europe, Western Europe, UK, USA and now SA – all locally registered as private limited companies. “Aseco has close co-operation with partners around the world and the strong ownership, together with a sound financial base, constitutes the foundation for long-term, stable business relationships. Our aim is

new solutions to match our customers’ present and future needs for satisfactory and cost-effective transportation.” TMCL Container Line (Belgium) has appointed

Aseco as agents in SA. An established and strong network of partners and agents in 71 countries, cover 117 points-of-sale around the world, and offer access to a range of quality carriers on each trade lane, according to Murugan. “At the recent world-wide agents’ conference held in Dubai,” he said, “Gordon A Braun, MD of TMCL based in Antwerp, was pleased to report that the group had tripled volumes in 2008, and despite the slowdown in the world economy, had realised a 52% growth in volumes for the first quarter of 2009.” With the operation specialising in – but not limited to – the automotive, minerals and mining, perishable, chemical and retail sectors, it is expected to boost the volumes for the remainder of the year and set a platform for 2010. TMCL is offering services to and from SA on all trade lanes.

New KZN industrial park attracts strong interest

SA ‘perfectly positioned’ for speedy recovery By Ed Richardson

The Imbonini Industrial Park ... close to air, rail and road links. A combine of UK and SA investors is busy developing the two-phase Imbonini industrial park in Ballito north of Durban – a 10-minute drive from the new King Shaka International Airport and its accompanying Dube TradePort development. According to SA investor Paul Izzard, partner in Index Property Services and Amber Dawn Developments, it’s an ideal location with proximity to the air, rail and road links between South Africa’s two busiest harbours, with frontage

onto both the R102 and the N2 freeways. Phase 1 of the development was completed last July, and is 80% sold. Izzard and partner Ed Peen expect the balance to sell out this year. This initial phase consists of serviced industrial sites from 1 500 to 20 000-m2 in a fullyfenced park with 24-hour security and access control. The developers, Izzard added, are gearing up to start the civils on Phase 2 – with a total platform area of 450 000-m2, double the

size of Phase 1. “We want to develop a sophisticated business park not only to protect investors’ interests but also to improve the look of what is basically an industrial precinct,” says Izzard. “Emphasis has also been placed on protecting the environment, with conservation areas in Phase 1 already rehabilitated during development to form natural green lungs that enhance the general aesthetic of the area and make it a great place to do business.”

South Africa’s economy could recover from the global downturn faster than those of developed countries, according to Dr Roelof Botha, economic adviser to PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC). He told the 2009 Agriweek in Paarl recently that certain contributing factors that were driving stronger economies down seemed to be playing into the hands of emerging market economies, like South Africa, that possess fundamental macro-economic stability. Even though some avenues for investments have dried up, fund managers are still receiving vast amounts of contractual savings, mainly from pension fund contributors.

R1-trillion is also expected to lead the continuation of the country’s largest broad based capital formation phase in history. A modest recovery of commodity markets is another contributing factor to the recovery and local exporters should benefit from it in the months ahead. In South Africa the Consumer Price Index (CPI) is expected to fall within the 3% to 6% target range by the middle of the year. “Rapidly declining inflation will gradually enhance the purchasing power of households for the rest of 2009. This will help in fighting the effects of inflation,” says Botha. “The prime rate is expected to drop to 11.5% and if this happens the disposable income of households will increase by approximately R7 billion per month.”

How to improve efficiency with your current systems

‘No change for SA’

Core Freight maps out three-point strategy Now more than ever clearing and forwarding agents need to review their systems to ensure that they are maximising their potential. “Each organisation has different requirements and it is important to consider the IT applications they use to meet them,” says Glenn Lawson of Core Freight Systems.

“Not all applications are the same, either in terms of the functionality they provide or the manner in which such functionality is delivered.” In order to help agents to evaluate their systems, Core Freight has identified a three point strategy: ● Review existing business processes to identify areas where greater efficiency can be achieved. Avoiding duplicate capture of data as a shipment is processed is a basic example where data used in a forwarding file should be available for a subsequent clearing file. ● Identify areas of additional functionality that could be implemented immediately. Areas to consider which are particularly pertinent at present include realtime credit control, file profitability analysis and strengthened disbursement

control, if these are not optimally addressed in terms of the existing business process. Other areas may include automated document image archiving, or the client access of shipment details over the internet. ● Consider potential future business requirements. The interchange of data electronically with trading partners can have huge benefits in terms of processing time and accuracy, although this may require some effort in getting the counterparty to participate in the process. “Achieving these objectives need not be complex or timeconsuming,” says Lawson. “A simple demonstration of the processing inherent in an application using a realistic example will show which areas are adequately covered and reveal opportunities for enhancement within a company’s systems.” And Lawson believes it’s the

Glenn Lawson … ‘Functional users should be participating in the process, in addition to the parties responsible for decision-making.’ actual functional users that should be participating in the process, in addition to the parties responsible for decision-making. “If functional benefits are apparent from the exercise, the agent should then consider the other elements, including costs and timing, which will need to be addressed and resolved prior to taking any action. “At least if you have conducted the exercise you know what your options are,” he said.

A US airline is grounding its 14-strong freighter fleet of Boeing 747-200s by year-end in an attempt to save bucks in its increasingly loss-making cargo division. But, said Anne Sanders of GSAfrica – the general sales agent for Delta cargo in SA – this will have no effect on the SA route, which is in any case one of the airline’s most profitable cargo airways. The freighter fleet is mostly operative on the US and Canada to the Far East routes, she added, while SA is served by bellyhold capacity on Delta’s passenger flights to and from this country. “Also,” Sanders said, “our yield is fairly high – probably 50% higher than the rest of the networks.” She foresaw no changes in the current Delta offering to SA airfreight users, despite its freighter fleetcutting exercise.

E-learning attracts growing support - WCO By Liesl Venter E-learning is slowly but surely changing the face of training forever. A distance learning system using modern multimedia resources is fast becoming a highly sought-after training method as it allows trainees and students to learn where they are and when they want. According to Norbert Cochin from the World Customs Organisation, an hour of e-learning is equal to six days of face-to-face training. “It is a very intensive form of training that was thrust upon the world some ten years

Norbert Cochin ... ‘An hour of e-learning is equal to six days of face-to-face training.’ ago. Since then it has been developed and fine-tuned to offer learners a world of

knowledge at the click of a button.” Cochin says the WCO, which has 150 learning modules in its e-learning programme, ensures that students are constantly monitored by having to do quizzes. “It tracks the progress but also ensures someone is not moving forward more quickly than they should because unless you pass an evaluation, you will not be able to continue.” While some modules only take an hour, others are up to 60 hours long. “The pace at which you learn is your own. It is also productive as employees are not out of the office for

days on end due to training. And in a world where life-long training has become the norm, it is essential that we give people options all the time to learn.” Cochin says e-learning programmes also offer availability and flexibility to users while offering integrated and effective training. “Obviously e-learning can never replace practical hands-on training and that is why we believe it should be supplemented with practical skills development which is encouraged by our various training centres in the countries in which we operate.”

He says with the positive application of the programme the competency levels of customs and trade administrations are systematically improved, allowing for WCO standards to be implemented across the globe. “This training programme strengthens synergies between customs authorities while it also builds up customs capacity using the WCO uniform language. There is no denying that e-learning is the perfect learning tool across borders, allowing the beginner and the expert to take part in the learning experience.”

‘Soldier in a box’ concept offers anti-piracy solution By Joy Orlek As the scourge of piracy continues to dominate world headlines, the shipping industry is investigating a range of solutions – among these on-board armed protection. Belgium-based MSC Global Group, run by ex-South African Stefan Crause, supplies what Crause terms ‘a soldier in a box’ which is effectively an armed guard with all his required equipment – and it’s a concept that has already attracted significant interest. Crause has been involved in recruitment and training of a range of personnel in conflict areas for the past six years, and while there’s much ground to be covered before on-board armed security teams can be marketed on a global basis, the company is already operating between Durban and Kuwait. “We have 12-, 10- and 8-man teams, depending on the size of the vessel, and they are on guard 24 hours a day.” MSC Global was launched

FTW0017SP

in 2004 focusing on recruitment for the US State Department. “We subsequently became the African and European recruiters for various companies for which we supply manpower to Iraq, Somalia, Sudan and most conflict countries around the world. And that’s not only security personnel but medical personnel, technical staff and the like. “Toward the latter part of last year we looked at putting armed security teams on board vessels and so far we are the only private company in the world doing just that,” Crause told FTW. The security team becomes part of the crew on the vessel. “They are fully armed and are a ghost on the vessel, never interfering with operations. They operate independently, maintaining contact with the security company at all times. “We are at present registering MSC Global in Tanzania and Djibouti so that vessels coming through Suez can use our teams as an escort to whichever port they are destined for – Kuwait,

On guard ... security team in training. Mogadishu, Mombasa, Dar es Salaam etc. “If vessels are routed around the Horn of Africa, we will do the same – put a team on the vessel inbound to Mogadishu or whatever port. If they wish to

exit via the Suez we will offload the team in Djibouti and fly them back.” According to Crause there are several legal matters that need to be ironed out before the system can be rolled out worldwide

and for this reason the company is currently in discussions with several large shipping organisations. The escalating scale of piracy attacks clearly demands early action.

High Suez tolls could be reviewed … as ships deviate around the Cape The extremely high cost of transiting the Suez or Panama Canals has recently seen a large number of shipping lines and consortia deviating main-line services around the Cape of Good Hope. But reports are that the authorities at both canals may be looking at the currently unsustainable tolls – with a Suez passage for a large boxship, for example, costing well in excess of

US$500 000 per voyage. With weak cargo volumes, rock-bottom freight rates, availability of surplus tonnage and falling bunker prices, the high rates have led to an increasing number of service deviations via the Cape, and what AXS Alphaliner described as “quirky round-the-world sailing patterns”. But this may soon be abandoned, as the canal operators are rumoured to be

considering a revision of tolls. Said the AXS report: “Despite earlier announcements that canal toll rates will not be reduced, both the Suez and Panama Canal authorities are now believed to be considering price adjustments in order to regain the lost business.” Also, several other media reports claim that the operators of the Suez Canal would be willing to make

some concessions before May and the Panama Canal Authority is likely to follow. But there is as yet no clarity on exactly how these concessions will be structured and how the carriers’ savings will be passed on to shippers. Reports said that the Suez Canal authority was considering ‘more flexible’ tariffs and ‘incentive programmes’. The suggestion is that

the latter may be aimed exclusively at liner companies that send ships through the Canal on a regular basis rather than tramp owners that only make occasional transits. Meantime, some shipping lines are trying to cost the high transit fees into their invoices – with MSC, for example, announcing an increase of its Suez surcharge from US$9 to US$50 per TEU, effective immediately.

Heavy vehicle sales expected to drop 40% By Liesl Venter The road freight industry has been feeling the pinch of the global economic downturn and 2009 is proving to be much tougher than many expected. According to the Road Freight Association, the trucking industry was severely affected by the

dramatic changes in the oil price, the fluctuating interest rates and spiking currencies due to a shock resignation (even if it was only temporary) by the Minister of Finance. With fuel costs accounting for about 42% of operating costs, the fluctuating fuel price is severely hampering

the industry. With the fuel price continuously hovering around the R10 mark, costs remain high and transport logistics are expected to remain at their current depressed levels. But the wheels have to keep on turning, as there is no doubting the importance of trucking on

the South African economy. According to economists, it is imperative that goods and products still be moved across the country, despite the drop in demand. It is expected that over the next five years the slow improvement of rail networks, the congestion at ports and the investment in mining and infrastructure

will continue to drive road transport. But South Africa’s recession is impacting the industry continuously. According to Wesbank, heavy vehicle sales are expected to drop a staggering 40% this year – the first time in years that this sector has seen any decline.

New tanker fleet boosts Swaziland’s fuel security

Your regular specialist column on customs-related issues

By Quintus van der Merwe and Mark Boucher

A word of caution about misleading wording Wrong tariff determination raises important issues We recently acted in a matter where we applied for a tariff determination on behalf of a client. The determination made by the tariff section at head office was, in our view, wrong. On our recommendation our client sought to appeal against the "decision" and wanted to refer the matter to Internal Administrative Appeal (IAA). The tariff section said that IAA was not applicable in this instance and that the matter should be referred for Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). While this may seem innocent on the face of it, this could have given rise to serious complications. If, as was our view, the matter could not in fact legally be referred to ADR, the appellant could

have fallen outside the strict 30-day time limit in which an IAA must be instituted. We therefore sought clarity from Sars’ Legal and Policy division as to the meaning of Section 77 I. More specifically Rule 77 I.02 provides that ADR may only be instituted where: ● A party is not satisfied with the decision after an Internal Administrative Appeal; or ● As an alternative to judicial proceedings. The Sars Legal and Policy division has confirmed that there are only two instances where a matter can be referred to ADR. It seems that the tariff section erroneously relied on paragraph 5.3 to the Sars External Policy – Alternative Dispute Resolution –

Reference no SC-CC-26. This document provides that, due to the technical nature of tariff evaluation matters "ADR would normally only be resorted to in cases where all relevant facts and/or arguments were presented to and considered by the Tariff Evaluation division and the importer does not agree with their decision". A caution to all out there that this wording is misleading and that a policy document or guideline can never trump the provisions of the Act. One must therefore follow the provisions under Section 77 and the rules thereto in respect of IAA and ADR. If you are in doubt as to the correct procedure, please contact us on 0860customs.

By James Hall MBABANE – Swaziland Railway has taken delivery of 20 tank wagons as the country moves ahead with plans to create a strategic oil reserve. Landlocked Swaziland imports all its petrol products via South Africa. Each tank wagon has a capacity of 53 000 litres. It has been 30 years since the company added to its tanker fleet that numbered 31 wagons. An additional 20 may be purchased as a national strategic petrol reserve is created that will cushion supply shocks if circumstances should temporarily halt the importation of oil. “I am delighted that Swaziland Railway has created capacity of 1 060 000 litres that can be delivered at once with the 20 fuel wagons. The railway plays a pivotal role in supplying the country with fuel,” said Minister of Transport Ntuthuko Dlamini at the presentation of the wagons.

Harry Nxumalo, chairman of the Swaziland Petroleum Retailers’ Association, told FTW that most of Swaziland’s fuel was imported by rail and taken to petrol company depots at the Matsapha Industrial Estate outside Manzini. From there tanker trucks carry the fuel to retailers. Gideon Mahlalela, CEO of Swaziland Railways, said at the wagon launch: “The total litres of fuel we consume in the country is 200 million a year. 75% of that, or 150 million litres, is conveyed by rail. “The cost of transport from Duran to Matsapha is 33 cents per litre. I still do not understand why people bring fuel by road at 38 cents per litre,” Mahlalela said. Several sites around the country are being considered for the construction of the national petroleum reserve, but rail connectivity would be essential for the location, transport ministry sources told FTW.

farm management activities. “The logistics division posted excellent profits in all its subsidiaries, with the port terminals significantly increasing steri-volumes and containers handled.” Mainly driven by the fruit division, the group’s revenue for 2008 grew 13.1%, from R2.14 billion to R2.42 billion, due primarily to higher market prices achieved and the effects of the rand’s devaluation versus major trading currencies. Although the logistics division showed growth in port terminals, these gains were offset by the drop in shipping revenue, the latter arising from a change in vessel deployment as they mainly were traded in the charter market rather than the fruit trade.

By Ray Smuts A glass of sparkling wine will be in order, thank you, as the Cape Town-headquartered Capespan Group, a major player in the international fruit sector, celebrates the most scintillating performance in the ten years of its existence. Operating profit increased 70.2%, from R98.7 million to R168.0 million, group managing director Neil Oosthuizen told FTW. “The results can be ascribed to a significant rise in the operating profits of the fruit and logistics divisions. “In the fruit division, the improvement was primarily as a result of South African exports and the first-time inclusion of the operating income generated from

While the South African auto industry is in the doldrums, Goodyear South Africa has launched three new tyre ranges – aimed at both the local and export markets. Speaking at the launch event in the Eastern Cape recently, Goodyear Tyre and Rubber Holdings managing director Jean-Jacques Wiroth said the R70-million invested in tooling for the new tyres in difficult

economic times reinforced Goodyear’s commitment to South Africa and subSaharan Africa. “We are investing not only in our Uitenhage plant to produce these products via new machinery, new moulds and various continuous improvement projects, but also in our people and distribution channels through continuous training and development.” The new tyres are

MSC Melody ... a recent target in the pirates’ intensifying campaign.

Call for armed convoys to protect vessels from pirates As Somali piracy intensifies, a mostly dismissive world has yet to come to grips with a crisis for which there is no immediate, or apparent, answer. Closest to home was the attack on Saturday night on the MSC Cruises ship MSC Melody which was returning to Genoa shortly after leaving the Seychelles. She was en route to Aqaba, Jordan when the pirates struck but they were warded off by security staff and the vessel continued to its destination under escort. The spiralling number of incidents off the African coastline and in the Gulf

of Aden have not claimed merchant crew lives thus far – unlike Southeast Asia, where live bodies are often simply dumped overboard – but those days may be numbered. This has become a truly desperate situation, as Andrew Robinson, national president of the Maritime Law Association and partner in the law firm, Deneys Reitz, reminds us. “The reality is that modern day pirates have swopped cutlasses for rocket launchers and are clearly intent on carrying out these crimes using extreme violence. “I fear it is only a matter of time before an entire crew is lost at the hands of these sea robbers – unless, of course,

there is a quick and decisive response by the international community.”

‘Growing sentiment that shipping lines have also been far too passive for too long.’ The collective global community has hardly been decisive in addressing the dilemma – and there’s growing sentiment that shipping lines have also been far too “passive” for too long, their primary concern for the wellbeing of crew, cargo and vessel. Captain Roy Martin, national president of the

Society of Master Mariners and chairman of the Maritime Law Association’s Durban Chapter, is one who agrees with this indictment. “Owners and shipping lines should be a lot more proactive in arranging convoys/protection for vessels and owners should be leaning on their flag states and governments to co-ordinate the safety of seafarers. They are the guys who should be sorting out the problems, not captains of ships.” Joining Martin in favour of armed convoy escorts of merchant vessels in pirateinfested waters, along the lines of those across the Atlantic in both World Wars, is Helmut Heitman, South

intransigent stand by the South African government on the Somali piracy issue is a source of frustration that goes beyond the navy chiefs. A major stumbling block that has to be sorted out at international level is that most countries only legislate for attacks on their own nationals, therefore no laws are applicable to attacks on ships other than on their own nationals.

“Piracy is now affecting local business,” says Andrew Robinson, national president of the Maritime Law Association. “When Somali-based pirates ‘shipjacked’ the product tanker, MT Bow Asir late last month, South African cargo interests, their brokers and insurers were immediately affected because the ship was loaded with cargo destined for Durban.” A number of states,

African correspondent for Janes Defence Weekly and an independent Cape Town-based defence analyst and consultant. Martin is also in favour, though with some reservations on the issue. Pointing to the vast area that has to be covered by a relatively small international EU/Nato task force, Robinson says that despite some successes, resources are spread too thin. “In theory, the convoy concept is correct but it will not happen unless the shipping lines come to the party.” And this is a highly unlikely scenario given the impact it would have on schedules and the cost of participating.”
