Transnet strike looms … as wage negotiations stall

By Alan Peat A Transnet strike is looming, only holding off while union wage negotiations under the Transnet Bargaining Council continue along the procedural path.

It’s a strike which – if it hit the heights of the truck drivers’ work stoppage – could again throw

the trade and transport industries into disarray. The unions claim to represent some 55 000 rail, port, pipeline and engineering employees, in a host of key posts.

If they downed tools, SA’s ports and railways could be brought to a crashing halt, and the private sector road transport industry could also be brought to a stop.

But the wage talks between

Upgraded warehouse opens at Ortia

By Liesl Venter After a year of renovation and disruptions to staff and clients, Lufthansa Cargo has officially opened the doors of its brandnew upgraded warehouse facilities at OR Tambo International Airport.

Speaking at the ribboncutting ceremony recently, Lufthansa Cargo member of the board Karl-Heinz Koepfle, who flew in from Germany especially for the event, said the new facility was proof of the company’s commitment not just to South Africa but to

the entire African market.

According to Jonathan Clark, Lufthansa Cargo general manager, Southern and Western Africa, the decision to upgrade and renovate the warehouse facilities was a long time in the running. “On arrival in South Africa five years ago I found sub-standard To page 20 Karl-Heinz Koepfle and Jonathan Clarke cut the ribbon at the opening of the new upgraded Lufthansa Cargo warehouse at OR Tambo International Airport.

Transnet and the recognised trade unions – the SA Transport and Allied Workers’ Union (Satawu) in the Cosatu camp, and fellow transport union Utatu in the Fedusa camp – have stalled.

The result of this, according to Satawu policy officer, Jane Barrett, is that a union/ employers’dispute has been declared.

“It’s one of the steps in the procedure,” she told FTW, “when the negotiations are not getting anywhere.”

Effectively, this dispute should next go before a conciliator for resolution.

“But, if this fails,” Barrett added, “the option is for the conciliator to issue a certificate saying the dispute could not

be solved – and then the workers could legally go on strike.”

And she didn’t think that there was much promise of settlement, as long as the unions stuck to their 12% wage increase demand, and Transnet continued its zero per cent offer.

Satawu, meantime, has also accused Transnet of deliberately To page 20

in the Purpose Code column opposite the wording Transfer of Liability: Ordinary Levy.

Consider a Tariff Application In recent weeks I have received a number of emails and telephone calls enquiring about the process for applications in respect of the increase in the rate of customs duty, the reduction in the rate of customs duty, or the creation or removal of manufacturing rebates.

In part this could be attributed to the fact that manufacturers and importers alike are considering their value chain and investigating all costs with a view to removing all inefficiencies from the chain.

Over the next few issues I will cover the process in more detail

The reported influx of ships intent on bypassing the Suez Canal in favour of the round-the-Cape route to avoid piracy has yet to materialise.

Dearth of activity in Table Bay reflects economic meltdown

By Ray Smuts The ‘mini-flotilla’ of merchant ships customarily dotting the Table Bay ocean line has dwindled in recent months, a sure indicator of the economic meltdown that holds the world in an anaconda grip.

Was a time, certainly toward the end of last year, when a dozen or so vessels of all types could be seen at anchor off the port of Cape Town, with bunching, particularly of container ships, an all-too-familiar phenomenon.

Come morning at the start of another weekend, I could only spot two awaiting berthing.

The reported influx of ships intent on bypassing the Suez Canal in favour of the roundthe-Cape route to avoid piracy – some suggest also the steep Suez transit charges – has yet to materialise.

MSC, the largest player in trades to and from South Africa, says only a handful of its vessels have bypassed the Cape in recent months, specifically calling at Cape Town to pick up empty

containers for Asia.

Captain Roy Martin, a Durban-based maritime expert, says a large number of vessels, particularly tankers and bulkers planning to sail around the Cape, would be too big to enter port and would have to make do with offshore bunkering, Sanjay Govan, National Ports Authority manager for Cape Town, agrees with Oscar Borchards, business unit executive at the Cape Town Container Terminal, that while the number of vessels visiting the Mother City port has not

BBBEE LEVEL 4 COMPLIANT

decreased significantly, their call sizes certainly have.

Borchards told FTW an average of 16 container ships called at Cape Town weekly, up to a maximum of 22 on occasion.

He says terminal statistics reveal that imports were down 7% and exports 5% in the 12 months to March but exports declined 25% in April. “One month does not reflect the whole story, however,” he says.

Albert Schuitmaker, executive at the Cape Town Regional Chamber of

Commerce and Industry, says the reduction is very much related to the global economy, which is having a “major impact” on volumes being shipped to Cape Town.

Andile Nomlala, provincial chairman of the SA Transport and Allied Workers’ Union, says Satawu has held talks with TNPA to stave off retrenchments and has agreed to forego a pay increase for union members this year, given a decline in the workload and no imminent prospects of change for the better.

Changes at the top for Safmarine

By Joy Orlek There are significant changes at the top for Safmarine and Maersk Line with Safmarine CEO Ivan Heesom-Green handing over the reins to newly appointed Tomas Dyrbye as he takes over as Maersk regional manager for Africa and managing director of Safmarine of South Africa.

Africa is one of Maersk Line’s top five regions. Heesom-Green will now have responsibility for all container business activities – that includes the group activities in Safmarine– and will therefore remain involved with Safmarine in his new role.

Dyrbye (51), currently Maersk Line regional manager for Northern Europe, takes up

his new position in Antwerp, Belgium during the third quarter of this year.

He joined the AP Moller – Maersk Group in 1985 and has held a number of international positions including CEO for the Nordic and Baltic Area for Maersk Line and Safmarine in 2002 and country manager for India (1998-2002).

Heesom-Green, who will relocate to head office in Cape Town, commented: “It has been an exciting six years for me in which we have seen Safmarine double in size, add 19 newly owned ships to our fleet and even witness modest growth in the first quarter of this year, which is a great reflection on Safmariners’ performances

on shore and at sea. Africa continues to show great potential for sustainable growth through

trade and I look forward to playing my part to create those opportunities.”

He will take over from the current Maersk regional manager for Africa, Lars Reno Jakobsen, who has been appointed the new head of network and product and member of the liner management board of Maersk Line in Copenhagen.

Both Heesom-Green and Jakobsen will take up their new positions during the third quarter of 2009.

Durban-born Heesom-Green joins the American J Russell Bruner of Maersk Inc of the United States as only the second locally appointed national of a Maersk region.

On June 1 this year Safmarine will celebrate its tenth anniversary as a member of the AP Moller - Maersk Group.

Workshop addresses Beitbridge congestion

By Alan Peat “We have heard all the questions, found all the answers, and now we just need to decide how to put them into practice,” said Barney Curtis of the Federation of East and Southern African Road

Transport Associations (Fesarta), talking about the Beitbridge problem.

That has evidenced itself in serious congestion at the bridge’s two border posts – with border queues at times stretching for up to 14 kilometres, and trucks

taking days, and not hours, to cross the Limpopo.

The first step in the Fesarta process to remedy the problem has been extensive discussions over the years about the problem issues with regional players such as SADC, Comesa and the

Part 108 costs buffet already stressed industry

FDI prospects compromised

By Ed Richardson

Same-day express services have increased

Garry Marshall ... ‘Economy-type air cargo has lost out to road.’

By Liesl Venter The new Civil Aviation Regulations, set to come into effect on July 1 this year, will have huge cost implications

for companies in what is arguably already one of the toughest economic times in decades.

Part 108 of the Civil Aviation Regulation, which

deals with safety and security issues, will affect cash flow of express courier services as compliance means spending money, says Gary Marshall, CEO of the South African Express Parcel Association.

“Becoming a regulated agency will mean training staff, getting premises up to speed and investing in X-Ray equipment, an investment that can run into millions.

This is all happening at a time when cash is very tight and payment for our services is often treated with disdain as it is seen as a grudge purchase resulting more often than not in payments being delayed.”

Marshall said while the express courier and cargo industry was not in disaster mode yet, keeping afloat would become a challenge as the impact of the economic crisis continued to hit home.

Low-income countries like Ghana, Senegal and Uganda are doing better at attracting foreign direct investment than middleincome countries like South Africa and Namibia because they are able to answer queries from investors faster, according to a new report by the World Bank.

It assesses the response of these agencies to two potential projects – a software developer and a beverage-manufacturing company seeking to expand operations in each country. According to the report, only 10 out of 181 countries followed up with potential investors to secure projects.

Companies are slowly but surely restructuring themselves to cope with the new reality as volumes are down by at least 20%.”

He said while the bottom end of the market was bleeding, there had been a surge at the top. ”Sameday express services have increased and this we believe is due to the demand on the supply chain. As stock is kept low goods have to be moved fast when there is a demand.”

He said while the supply chain in some instances was being rebuilt, it was all about being ready when the economy changed.

“We have found in the meantime that as the regular supply chain has slowed down, courier services have been increased as an emergency back-up.”

Service providers offer their perspectives.

Powerful system speeds up overborder shipments

By Alan Peat There’s a quick and easy way to guarantee your goods get through the borders into the BLNS countries.

The secret, according to Nachi Mendelow of CompuClearing, lies in the specialised system created by the company to process customs documentation for consignments bound for Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia and Swaziland.

“With the time-sensitive needs of the courier/express industry kept firmly in mind,” he told FTW, “we designed a system which is extremely powerful and speedy.”

Creating an accurate bill of entry (BoE) is just one of the functions in the system.

All the details of the different tariff headings are included,

allowing all the documentation to be compiled and given to the driver before he leaves on his over-border trip. “This means no waits for documentation at the border,” said Mendelow.

The road manifest is another vital document for courier/ express shippers.

“It has to cover every single consignment in the truck,” said Mendelow.

And to comply with this demand easily and expeditiously, he offered the system’s manifest facility.

“You could, for example capture data for 10 consignments to Botswana, and the system would use all the selected data for that specific country in preparing this road manifest.”

He also highlighted another powerful feature in the system –

the national credit limit checking facility.

Rather than preparing the credit limit at the time of the shipment, he told FTW, the system monitors the debt continually, and instantly updates it as it goes along. “That way,” he added, “you have an instant warning before the debt exceeds the limit.

“It’s a unique system for the BLNS countries where courier/ express shipments go, and allows a very quick and easy capture of all the data required.”

A brand-new feature is that Compu-Clearing has activated the system with Asycuda – the customs system for Botswana.

“We have now integrated into Asycuda,” said Mendelow, “and the system will prepare the customs documentation for both sides of the Botswana border.”

Nachi Mendelow ... no waiting for documentation at the border.

UPS offers speedy parcel tracking system With growth in the sector achieving no more than 10%, there is no denying the global economic crisis has hit the express cargo and courier industry.

According to Chris Vermeulen, national sales and marketing manager: courier for UPS South Africa, times are certainly challenging and it is becoming increasingly important to retain customers.

“UPS has a very focused strategy and believes that even in these economic conditions we can drive our business in a positive direction.”

Vermeulen says staff retention is critical while competitors reducing their rates remains a challenge. “We have seen some companies approach the market with ridiculously low rates and that is not an option for us as it does affect the level of service, which is key for UPS.” It is for these reasons that UPS is continuously upgrading and

ensuring it has the best systems and technology at work with the best vehicles.

“Last year we introduced a sophisticated tracking technology into our operations which allows our customers, via the internet or the UPS call centre, to track where their parcels are within the global UPS network.”

A first in the industry in South Africa, Vermeulen said the hand-held computer technology represented the fastest package tracking systems in the world and assisted with the some 3.5 million package queries received daily from UPS customers globally.

The device is used by courier drivers to simultaneously capture and transmit real-time delivery information.

UPS has also replaced some of the vehicles in its fleet and purchased 19 new Mercedes Benz Sprinters, imported from Germany and fitted with specialised UPS upgrades to meet the specific needs of express delivery.

According to Paul Horsfall,

Drivers are able to simultaneously capture and transmit real-time delivery information.

UPS South Africa director, all these upgrades are part and parcel of the UPS commitment to delivery and meeting customers’ needs at all times.

Having more recently launched a domestic service the company uses state of the art scanning equipment.

Sophisticated tracking technology assists with 3.5 million package queries received daily from UPS customers worldwide.

Singleton says to draw more customers and to grow the industry it is important to continuously train staff while also upgrading systems and software.

“No-one can rest on their laurels – you have to be looking for new and better opportunities all the time.”

He says there are still challenges that have to be overcome especially when moving cargo overnight across borders. “The border crossings remain problematic. We have implemented a range of systems to address the issues, but it remains our biggest challenge along with vast distances.”

Maputo road operator plans rewards campaign Daily service is ultimate goal

By Liesl Venter Adding weekly frequencies to and from Maputo in Mozambique is the immediate goal of Panthera Express.

The privately owned courier company dedicated to the transportation of documents, small and large parcels as well as bulk consignments, operates by road between South Africa and Mozambique.

According to director Sandro Seresi, growing the business is a priority. “The economic downturn has not gone unnoticed in our industry. We have however, thanks to the affordability of our prices and because we transport goods by road, managed to remain stable and in some instances see an increase in customers compared to last year.”

Seresi says increasing the customer base to see a daily road courier service between South

Africa and Mozambique is his ultimate goal.

“Getting new customers in these difficult economic times is tough, but we have increased our marketing in Mozambique and are in the throes of planning a rewards campaign for customers who spend over and above a certain amount of money with us.”

Panthera Express offers a door-to-door service between the cities of Johannesburg, Maputo and Beira in less than 24 hours.

“Punctuality and speed are two key aspects of our service,” says Seresi, a feat made easier as the company shares office space with the Mozambique Customs in Maputo.

“Our warehouse premises in Maputo are on the same site as customs and this allows for a very fast service,” says Seresi, as customs is always on hand to clear goods on arrival

Express courier busi

By Liesl Venter The express courier option is proving to be the solution to business not holding onto stock in the current economic times.

And even though faster does mean more expensive it is going a long way to building consumer relationships and increasing productivity.

That’s according to Jonathan Clark, general manager, Southern and Western Africa for Lufthansa Cargo, who says the economic crisis has resulted in many companies – especially in the automotive industry – not holding too much stock in factories locally or overseas.

“Due to the cutbacks in manufacturing people are ordering later and therefore need it quicker, which is where the express service comes in and makes all the difference.”

He said while most aspects of the business were facing major downtime, express courier services were increasing.

“We can have a product

available to the customer within three hours of a plane landing from Frankfurt, which is a very quick turnaround time. That cargo could have also been delivered only two hours before departure.”

Lufthansa Cargo’s express priority product td.Flash, which was recently upgraded, is given the highest priority, has the latest possible acceptance times, is placed closest to the aircraft door to allow for quicker turn-around time on the ground, and is tracked at the highest level.

Clark says with its electronic booking channels and guaranteed capacity the product remains a winner.

“It is especially important for highly-urgent as well as high value shipments and carries no weight limit. The rates are also extremely competitive.”

Managers could be jailed for turning a blind eye to corruption

By Ed Richardson Managers who turn a blind eye to corruption are laying themselves open to hefty fines or even jail time of up to ten years, warns Trevor White, director of Forensic Services for PricewaterhouseCoopers.

“In terms of Section 34 of the Prevention and Combating of Corrupt Activities Act of 2004, the duty to report crimes related to fraud and corruption is placed squarely on the shoulders of a person in a position of authority in business,” he says.

This duty arises when a person holding a senior position suspects or is in possession of hard evidence proving that someone committed corrupt transactions. The Act defines corrupt transactions as theft, fraud, extortion, forgery or uttering, involving more than R100 000.

The rules apply to all managers at middle level and up.

White warns that managers are obliged to report suspected corruption even when they do not have concrete proof, but have a strong suspicion that it is happening.

By Liesl Venter There is no denying the importance of the courier and express service industry for the efficiency and growth of the South African economy, says Shane Kinnear, general manager of WorldNet Express.

“Almost all businesses use courier and express services at some point,” he says. “South Africa’s geographical position as the hub of Africa means that fast and effective delivery services are essential for the country as well as foreign businesses involved in international trade.”

According to Statistics South Africa, despite the recent global economic slowdown, the courier and express industry has recorded a market turnover of R2 519 million per annum with an approximate growth rate of 3%. “The service generating the most income in the courier industry was overnight delivery,” says Kinnear. “We believe that in the short- to medium-term the courier and express industry is likely to

grow steadily.”

WorldNet Express, a division of WorldNet Logistics, is about offering an extensive range of seamless high quality express courier services, says Kinnear.

‘Rising demand for road and air courier services to developing economies has boosted the South African sector in recent years.’

“The courier and express industry can be divided into two main market sectors: courier services and road freight,” he said. “In recent years the distinction between the two sub sectors has become increasingly blurred with some courier and express companies, especially the larger operators, now offering both courier and express road freight services. Until recently both sectors performed strongly, but the courier services are now outperforming the express road freight sector in

terms of turnover growth.”

Kinnear says that while rising demand for road and air courier services to developing economies has also boosted the South African sector in recent years, the increased security measures for road and airfreight due to high levels of criminal activity in the country have increased costs for the sector, while the fluctuation of the fuel price continues to be a challenge. Furthermore clients require faster and more reliable express services from a service provider they can trust.

WorldNet Express is well positioned to provide the full range of courier, express and road freight services to its clients,” says Kinnear. “We achieve extremely high levels of on-time deliveries facilitated by speedy customs clearing which is often a challenge in this industry.”

For the future WorldNet Express will focus on its core competencies and increase its investment in infrastructure, technology and security, he said.

Airlink plans electronic waybill system by June

By Liesl Venter Airlink Cargo International hopes to have an electronic waybill system up and running by no later than June this year.

According to managing director Alwyn Rautenbach, the pilot of the new system was implemented with a select few customers in an effort to test its efficiency.

“We are very happy with the result and more importantly the customers are happy. It is an easier system that cuts down on paperwork while speeding up the entire process.”

According to Rautenbach it is all about increasing service delivery. “We are facing tough economic times in which we have to fight hard to retain clients.

Alwyn Rautenbach ... delivery is key.

Service delivery has become increasingly important and being able to measure up to the expectations of customers in this very competitive market is key.”

He said the decision to introduce an electronic waybill was aimed at addressing that customer expectation.

“It also has the added advantage of there being less

chance of a mistake as it retrieves agreed pricing from a maintained database and is not dependent on a person doing calculations. It also has information available at the click of a button on our side and that of the client.

Rautenbach says while the express courier and cargo industry has been affected by the economic slowdown, it has not been as

badly affected as air cargo in general.

According to Rautenbach delivering on promises remains key in the industry at present.

“Service delivery is more important than pricing in some instances. Not everything has come to a halt and therefore there is still business in the express industry, but delivery is key.”

Packaging specialist sets up new airport warehouse

By Carrie Curzon Despite the hard-hitting global recession, some companies continue to expand.

One such is a specialist packing company in Cape Town where employees face a very positive future.

While most people have been tightening their belts and deploying staff, Cape Crating is currently fitting out a new warehouse at Airport City and has recently upped its staff to

a total of 45, and its delivery vehicles to a fleet of nine.

In an effort to deliver to every section of the market, Cape Crating recently opened a branch at Airport City. The new 450 m2 warehouse is specifically designed to minimise the lead-time for airfreight, and equipment is currently being installed.

“The proximity to the airport obviously means better service, for our express type client,” says co-owner, Owen Bottomley.

He adds that it’s hard to pin-point the reason for the company’s burgeoning business, however figures speak for themselves.

“March was our second biggest month on record,” he says, “and the months ahead continue to look good.

“We are definitely bucking the trend. We have added a Haz pack service and a crane truck to our list of services this year “We have several big projects running, have employed eight

new staff this year, and have added more vehicles to our fleet.

“Partly I think it’s while FCL loads are down there may be more LCL loads and these often require crating.

“Also, in our economic hard times, people are shopping around much more and we are picking up some of this work.”

The company has beefed up its sales and marketing department. “I am a firm believer that if you do a good job at a fair price, people will

beat a path to your door,” says Bottomley.

Turning 15 years next year, Cape Crating has seen its client base grow, packing anything from tourist curios to entire factories.

“We basically turn our hands to anything but perishables,” explains Bottomley.

“We offer a same-day service to our clients so they can bring in their cargo and have it packed and turned around the same day.”

Logistics operator adds self storage capacity German Warehousing Logistics has expanded its portfolio to offer self storage units to its customers in the south of Johannesburg.

The converted 20’ containers are based in a secure fenced-in area with full access to forklifts to facilitate loading and offloading.

The company’s recent move to new premises

created the additional capacity.

“We wanted to go the extra mile for our customers who always need some space for the odds and ends they have," GHL’s Kay Sendel told FTW. In addition the company is looking for refrigerated warehousing which will be introduced later in the year.

"We signed up a new contract that required cold

storage and because of the limited availability of this type of special facility we came up with what we believe is a one-stop freight solution," Sendel added.

Currently 20’ units are available with 40-footers to be added based on demand.

Public Private Partnerships the answer to Africa’s infrastructure needs

By James Hall Africa will need $40 billion annually to upgrade and maintain infrastructure necessary for economic advancement, economists at a regional infrastructure financing conference in Swaziland last week projected At the indaba hosted by the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (Comesa), delegates

were told by the chairman of Comesa’s regional investment agency, Chalimba Phiri, that future economic development depended on improving the region’s transportation and communications infrastructures.

How such a costly transformation is to be accomplished focused on Public Private Partnerships (PPPs).

“PPPs offer an alternative

to government being solely responsible for development and maintenance of infrastructure,” said Phiri.

Private companies can be lured into putting up money for public projects if there is a profit to be generated, such as a highway that when completed can be managed by the company as a toll road that charges road user fees.

Phiri said that overseas investors should be enticed

into bankrolling public works projects and not always be directed to private sector investment.

“An increasing number of countries are investing in developing countries as part of their competitive business strategies,” he said.

25% of all FDI last year was channelled into developing countries, he said.

“Public Private

Partnerships can help government build capacity and acquire and maintain assets in environments of shrinking budgets that can make public sector investments difficult.

They also allow private companies to gain new business opportunities, share risks with their public partners and enhance the social and economic environment in which they operate,” Phiri said.

Truck strike – was there a winner?

Satawu, employers and the RFEA speak out

By Liesl Venter April this year will no doubt be remembered in the trucking fraternity as the month of the big strike. As thousands of truck drivers went on strike over better wages and working conditions, associations and

sometimes intimidating.

Across the country fuel retailers urged all parties to find a solution as petrol stations started to run dry and the economic crunch hit home.

In the first of its kind power panel, FTW posed some questions to three industry

employers claimed workers were not taking the global economic recession into account.

As they headed to the negotiation tables, truck drivers took to the streets in a nine-day strike that was sometimes violent and

experts about the much talked about strike.

Magretia Brown, labour relations manager of the Road Freight Employers’ Association (RFEA), Fred Meier, HR director of Imperial Logistics, and Randall Howard, general secretary of

the SA Transport and Allied Workers’ Union (Satawu) agreed that the main issues at hand were the increase in minimum wages, across the board wages, extension of the bargaining unit, certain allowances and maternity leave.

other sectors as most goods and products are moved by road in South Africa,” said Howard. “The operations of the employers were affected hence the attempt to used replacement labour.”

He said Satawu opposed the violence and consistently asked its members to refrain from acts of violence and criminality – and they complied.

According to Meier the real impact of the strike was loss to all parties involved.

“Employees lost wages and overtime and they will get late increases (May vs March), while employers have lost revenue and customer confidence and credibility.”

Randall Howard ... ‘We prepared very well and our members were very highly mobilised.’

What was the impact of the strike?

According to Brown the majority of the RFEA’s member companies continued with their operations and could still meet their contractual obligations.

“To a minimal extent some of our members and their employees wanting to work experienced violence and intimidation, which the RFEA condemned.

“Satawu however denied that its members were actually the perpetrators. One has to wonder though why anyone who would not benefit from inflicting such intimidation would partake in it. However, we entered the strike with an 11% offer for across-theboard increases on the table

and that is what we walked out with at the end of the strike. That in itself speaks for the impact or lack thereof, on employers in the industry.”

Satawu disagreed saying the strike had had a major impact. “We prepared very well and our members were very highly mobilised, understanding what we were fighting for.

“Roadfreight and logistic transport workers are strategically located in the economy and any withdrawal hits right at the heart of economic activity. We therefore saw indisputable impact in retail, fuel, agriculture, construction, medical waste and many

Wage negotiations remain contentious

Were the goals achieved?

RH (Satawu): We did not achieve 100% and know that is never possible, but we did get a two-year agreement in terms of which the minima for grades 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 will be accordingly adjusted in line with R3000 for general workers and R6000 for ultra heavy long distance drivers. We achieved an 11% ATB increase in Year 1, maternity benefits have been

brought in line with the Basic Conditions of Employment Act, a new danger allowance for long-distance drivers who transport hazardous cargo has been introduced, and in principle the administration and clerical categories have been included.

MB (RFEA): We entered the strike with an 11% offer for across-the-board increases on the table and that is what we

walked out with at the end of the strike.

FM (Imperial Logistics): Employers put 11% on the table in November and that is what we settled at after the strike.

They may have gained a bit on the minimums, but that really affects future employees most.

We could have got to a similar point with more earnest, open discussions.

Wage negotiations remain contentious in South Africa as parties come from such different perspectives, says Meier. “We understand that the right to strike exists and has a role to play in the process, but due to the enormity of the consequences, it should be more prudently used and decisions to exercise that right should only be allowed to rest in the hands of more responsible people who understand these consequences fully.

“Wage negotiations will remain contentious because of the system of free enterprise capitalism where bosses want to maximise profit and not equitably share the wealth with workers who produce it,” says Randall. “This is where the fundamental differences arise with regard to the contending interests.

Employers in the road freight and logistics industry must still undergo a paradigm shift with regard to valuing their employees as assets, investing in them and rewarding them fairly. The system breeds on exploitation of workers in order to maximise profit.”

Brown believes that as long as negotiations speak to the

livelihood of both employee and employer they will remain contentious, but says Meier, there are ways other than striking to get results. “More mature parties put honest needs on the table up front and look at integrative ways of finding solutions, rather than distributive ways.”

He says, however, that as in the past employers remain open to more modern forms of negotiation around mutual gains.

And as goods are once again being moved across the country, both Satawu and the RFEA will only meet across the negotiation table in two years’ time. Says Brown: “We will only negotiate again in 2011. In the meantime the agreement has been submitted to the Department of Labour.”

Satawu says it will continue to fight for a living wage for all workers in the industry. “At the next round in two years’ time we intend to build on what we have achieved. There remain huge challenges ahead that must be addressed to ensure a safer and healthier working environment for workers and long-distance truck drivers in particular.”

‘Now more than ever is the time to train’

BY Staff Reporter During this recessive spell in the global economy, and with an eye on remaining keenly competitive when the business world revives, you have to keep concentrating on enhancing your company’s basic skills, according to Charles Dey of Global Trade Training (GTT).

The alarming and unpredictable downturns in volumes that industries have recently experienced have resulted in less work.

This, according to Dey,

means staff having fewer demands on their time, and maybe spending more time on lower priority jobs or just “making work”.

“Under these conditions the best employees, the ones who most enjoy being productive, are likely to become bored and frustrated,” he said. “This is the time for us to use that downtime to increase their skills.”

Dey acknowledges that training is expensive.

“However,” he said, “it’s not nearly as expensive as exposing the enterprise to the increasing

risks of offshore-based, highlyskilled and cost-effective competitors in a rapidly diminishing market.

‘Help for clients to access funding for skills development levy.’

It will also have a quantifiable benefit when the volumes come back, Dey added.

“Employees who have been trained to levels of excellence

will be able to function better and quicker, creating opportunities and making healthy returns on the training investments.”

Training must be an on-going pursuit, Dey told FTW. “Indications are that many companies are seizing on this opportunity by intensifying their training efforts. By doing this, you get ahead.”

And GTT will help you stay ahead, according to Dey. GTT will help clients access funding for training from the skills development levy, and

enhance a company’s rating in broad-based black economic empowerment (BBBEE) – which Dey stresses will be a key focus area for the newly elected parliament, according to government statements.

“It is already a fact of SA business life that, in an increasing number of cases, major contracts are won or lost on BBBEE scorecard points,” he said.

“One of the easiest ways to gain these points is through the Education and Training scorecard pillar.”

Freighters bring relief Emirates SkyCargo, in conjunction with logistics provider Kuehne + Nagel, has transported 120 tonnes of relief supplies to the conflict-stricken Swat region of Pakistan.

A Boeing 747 freighter, specially chartered by the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC), left Dubai last week carrying aid to Islamabad where it was distributed by

the UNHRC. Hiran Perera, Emirates’ senior vice president cargo – freighters, said: “Upon receiving the call from the UN, we redeployed one of our freighters to Islamabad within 30 hours. Emirates operated more than 30 relief flights in 2008 alone.”

Unlike many scheduled services, relief flights often involve very large shipments

requiring urgent transport to areas that are off regular route networks. Emirates operated another relief flight to Sri Lanka last week. The Boeing 777 freighter transported 100 tonnes of aid to the capital city of Colombo.

Last week’s top stories on www.cargoinfo.co.za could be negative, despite expectations of improved earnings in the second half of 2009.

Shipping major records first quarter loss General market conditions continued to deteriorate during the first months of 2009, according to the AP Moller Maersk Group, which recorded a net loss of USD 373 million in the first quarter of 2009 compared to net profit of USD 1 050 million in the same period in 2008.

The Group has warned that its financial results for 2009

ships of 91 000-TEU capacity have been deleted from the containership fleet.

Shopkeepers' plight may see interest rates drop again The growth in real retail sales came out on the minus-side again in March, with a growth rate of -5.3% reported by Stats SA, compared to -4.4% in February. It is clear that the sector is in the doldrums, according to Standard Bank

Record number of ships scrapped Dwindling employment opportunities for older containerships have led to a record number of ships being scrapped. For the first four months of the year, reports AXS Alphaliner, 52 cellular

economist, Dr Johan Botha.

‘Worst is over for European freight industry’ Latest figures from Danish national bank, Danske Bank, have suggested that the worst of the recession for the European freight industry may now be over, according to International Freighting Weekly (IFW).

Its European freight forwarding index (EFFI) recorded increased levels of

both volumes and business confidence among forwarders compared with two months ago.

German shipping major records loss Hapag-Lloyd recorded operating losses of €222-million (US$302.5-m) during the first quarter, reported International Freighting Weekly, compared to a profit of €18.5-m in the same period last year.

Flouting food safety standards puts entire export industry at risk

By Liesl Venter Exporters of regulated agricultural products who fail to comply with food safety standards are putting their entire industry at risk.

That’s the message from the Perishable Products Export Control Board which points out that if an importing country experiences food

safety problems on a specific product, it could lead to all exports being stopped from that country if records and systems cannot demonstrate the contrary. “It is therefore important that everyone in the supply chain complies with the legislation,” says the PPECB’s Dawn Diergaardt.

Applicable to exports to all destinations, the regulations

include a host of various commercial and regulatory standards with which food business operators (FBO) in the supply chain must comply.

South Africa, like all other countries, was required to publish a standard that encompasses the prerequisites from the European Union as well as

taking into consideration local legislation. “Workshops are regularly held and information is updated on various websites,” said Diergaardt.

All FBOs who want to export regulated agricultural products must ensure the correct systems are in place and they must also register with the Department of

Agriculture.

She advises them to do self-assessments before having an audit to enable them to address the gaps and help to ensure policies and procedures are put in place to bring about compliance.

For more information on the food safety regulations visit www.doa.agric.za or www. ppecb.com

SA bucks the global truck driver surfeit trend Despite a number of reports from Europe, especially the UK, about worrying numbers of truck drivers now on the dole (collecting unemployment benefit), and unemployment being rife, SA still suffers from “a dearth” of quality, experienced drivers, according to Angela Dick, CEO of the major driver recruitment agency, Transman.

Indeed, when told about this unemployment rate in the UK, Dick said: “Tell them to send

them across here.”

Although there are growing numbers of drivers in SA who have graduated from Code 8 (motor cars) to Code 10 (rigid commercial vehicle) licences, she told FTW, getting skilled drivers with Code 14 (articulated vehicle) tickets is near impossible.

And that’s the case despite there being a downward crash in road transport volumes, and a consequent number of unemployed drivers.

“No road transporters wants to lose their top quality staff,” Dick added, “because they know, when an upturn

‘Getting skilled drivers with Code 14 tickets is near impossible.’

comes about, they would then also be left struggling to get replacement drivers with any articulated experience.”

The call in the road transport industry is still for more training facilities to be established to try to overcome the shortage.

‘Auto industry won’t shift gear until 2010’ After the disastrous monthly reports we’ve been publishing in recent times in our electronic sister publication, Cargo Info News, the National Association of Automobile Manufacturers of SA (Naamsa) has just issued an equally disappointing quarterly summary.

The key features in the first quarter report, according to Naamsa director Nico Vermeulen, were: • Industry employment levels remained under pressure during the first quarter of 2009. Net industry employment fell by 2 571 jobs as a result of downsizing and operational adjustments at most of the industry’s assembly operations; • Lower industry capacity utilisation levels reflect cutbacks in production; • Industry capital expenditure going forward remains relatively stable; • Industry domestic sales projections continue to reflect difficult trading conditions while the global economic slowdown will impact negatively on automotive industry exports in 2009;

• New car and light commercial vehicle sales expected to remain under pressure through the third quarter of 2009. Lower interest rates on the back of declining inflationary pressures and an improvement in the financial position of consumers is expected to contribute to a modest improvement in new vehicle sales towards the end of the year.

‘Most manufacturers are currently operating on a single production shift basis.’

New passenger car sales (at 60 043 units) plummeted 30% in the first three months of this year compared with the same period in 2008, while the combined commercial vehicle sales (at 33 242 units) nosedived by 40%.

And, said Vermeulen in his submission to the director-general of the department of trade and industry, the full year of 2009 shows little promise of much recovery.

“It will be an extremely difficult year for the entire SA automotive industry,” he added. “All sectors – retail, auto parts manufacturing

and vehicle production – continue to experience severe and unprecedented viability challenges.

“The operating environment in all three sectors of the industry during the first few months of 2009 has continued to deteriorate substantially. Domestically, it is only expected to show modest improvement during the second half of the current year and, internationally, once the severe global financial and economic crisis dissipates.”

“This is only likely to occur in 2010.”

Employment suffered during the first quarter, falling by 7.3% as it dropped 2 5721 jobs from 34 963 positions at the end of 2008 to 32 392 jobs.

Alongside this employment drop, most manufacturers are currently operating on a single production shift basis, while some operate double shifts in selected areas such as machining, press shops, paint shop operations and body shop.

Also, according to Vermeulen, most vehicle assembly plants operated the first quarter on the basis of a shortened production week.

Transnet strike looms From page 1 delaying the issue, and showing no signs of changing its mind on the wage freeze. “We haven’t been able to agree on a date for conciliation,” said Barrett.

He said despite their business being down, they knew that the new warehouse facilities would increase their customer base in future as it was not just state-of-the-art but also possible to deliver on any of its clients’ needs.

Increasing the warehouse space from 3500 m2 by an additional 1500 m2 also allows for larger shipments to be handled. “We can now accommodate 40% growth in our business,” said Clark. “We can offer a better and more effective service to our clients using the latest technology and

“These disposals will enable Transnet to be focused solely on running the core businesses of the company as part of positioning them for growth,” says acting CEO Chris Wells.

The warehouse now has heightened security measures, which include a CCTV system that can be monitored offsite, an X-ray inspection system, a walk-through metal detector, a roller-bed system, a cold room as well as a

settlement of the dispute.”

And the union members, she added, were ready to shut up shop if conciliation was not achieved – a move which could again see paralysis setting in on the SA freight industry.
