Secrecy USAstill surrounds UK executive’s suspension PE port captain now also acting EL port manager

By Alan Peat In spite of a lot of journalistic hours being spent on the pursuit, FTW is no closer to getting official confirmation of a name for the “senior executive” who is under suspension in a “probe into alleged misconduct” at Port Elizabeth harbour.

The press looking into the matter have linked these facts, to which Transnet management has admitted, with the strong story doing the rounds that the senior executive under question is PE port manager, Ester Goosen – who is also heading a task team co-ordinating the R3.9-billion Port of Ngqura project.

She moved to Port Elizabeth from Johannesburg in 1986 and was appointed port manager in 2003, having been a Transnet employee for more than 25 years.

Reports at the time the story first broke suggested that Goosen had been suspended, but the port office

FTW1704SD

in PE insists that she is on indefinite leave.

Adding fuel to the fire, a senior PE business source said he’d “heard” (but had no physical proof) that Goosen was to take court action to have her suspension promptly lifted.

We have not been alone in our searches for the facts behind the story. Bob Kernohan, business editor of the Herald in PE, told FTW that his paper had had a team working on the tale for almost two weeks. But all the parties involved, including Goosen, had been elusive, he added.

The Transnet office had told the Herald repeatedly that Goosen was on leave, but did on one occasion say that she was “on leave, pending a misconduct hearing”, said Kernohan.

Although FTW has interrogated Transnet head office, the voices there are still silent on the PE issue.

Although Mboniso Sigonyela, Transnet’s external

communications manager, was quite affable and willing to have a friendly chat, he wasn’t yet prepared to name names.

Yes, an investigation into “alleged misconduct” was taking place, and, yes, a “senior executive” was under suspension.

But no, Sigonyela would not say who. Quizzed on just why they were so reticent to reveal a name, he told FTW: “I believe it’s something to do with restrictions on comment in the Labour Act”.

In a last-minute check just before FTW went to press, our official sources had nothing to add to previous comments except to say that PE port captain, Neil Chetty, was now also “acting port manager” – which would imply that Gooosen (previously titled port manager) was indeed out of action.

This dual, if temporary, posting for Chetty was confirmed by the PE port captain’s office.

SA wine gets Fifa send-off

By Ray Smuts Historic, never-to-berepeated occasions – Princess Diana’s marriage to Prince Charles and Barack Obama’s inauguration as the first black US president being cases in point – are a merchandiser’s dream, spawning all kinds of collectables, from spoons

to porcelain, aprons, mugs, medallions and now… South African wine.

Nederburg and Fifa, the world soccer governing body, have clinched an agreement for the famous Paarl winery to make and market a range of South African wines for next year’s World Cup soccer extravaganza, to be marketed locally and internationally.

DUTY CALLS Sars Update on 2010 FIFA World Cup On 18 June 2009 the South African Revenue Service (Sars) issued a media release titled, Update on Sars’ 2010 Fifa Soccer World Cup Preparations.

The release also states that Sars has put special Customs and revenue measures in place to meet its Fifa obligations for the 2010 Soccer World Cup. Sars Customs Seizure of Ephedrine In a Media Release dated 12 June 2009 Sars announced that, on that day, it had seized Ephedrine with a street value of R3.6 million at OR Tambo International.

Ephedrine is apparently regarded as the base for most narcotics and is utilised frequently in the manufacture of Mandrax.

On the same day the Dog Unit was involved in the successful seizure of 65 master cases of cigarettes in a private storage facility in Marlboro, Sandton.

Each master case consists of 50 cartons each comprising 500 packets of cigarettes. The

illegal cigarettes, with a value of R422 500, were found to have incorrect health warnings and also did not have the diamond stamp that certifies cigarettes that can be legally sold in South Africa.

Tariff Amendment – Monitors – 19 June 2009 The creation of a manufacturing rebate (also known as a Schedule No.3 rebate facility or rebate provision) for liquid crystal display (LCD) panels for the manufacture of video monitors incorporating an automatic data processing machine.

The rebate is free of duty, which means that no customs duty (duty) is payable on the imported LCD panels, provided that it is used in the manufacture of video monitors incorporating an automatic data processing machine, as per the defined tariff subheading.

such times and under such conditions as the International Trade Administration Commission may allow by specific permit for further processing, provided that the Commission is satisfied that pineapples suitable for canning are not available in sufficient quantities in the Southern African Customs Union (Sacu) area. The extent of the rebate is free of duty.

Canned pineapples, in such quantities, at such times and under such conditions as the International Trade Administration Commission may allow by specific permit, provided that the Commission is satisfied that pineapples suitable for canning are not available in sufficient quantities in the Sacu area. The extent of the rebate is full duty less 20%, which means that only 20% of the duty will be payable (also said to be ‘liable’).

Bail-out packages for industries in distress imminent issues,” said Davies. “Our priority is to preserve jobs and to preserve strategic industrial capacity.”

He said they had fast-tracked their response measures to address the need in several sectors that were heavily affected and were hoping to conclude agreements to deal with the distress before the end of this week.

“We have been engaging with stakeholders to determine what is needed and how we can address these needs while keeping in mind that job retention is the most important aspect.”

He would not give details of what could be expected only saying that the Industrial Development Corporation (IDC) would be part of the plan.

By Liesl Venter South African businesses in distress due to the global economic crunch may be thrown a lifeline when the fist bail-out packages emerge in the next few weeks.

This is according to Rob Davies, Minister of Trade and Industry, who said the first packages were expected to emerge by mid-June and were being guided by the government’s framework response to the global economic crisis.

In a recent meeting with Business Unity South Africa (Busa), which has set up a series of engagements with government, Davies said job retention remained critical

Industrie s for assis targeted tance: • Mining • Clothing & textiles • Automo tive • Capital goods

for government in the tough economic times.

“The reality of job losses is what led to the crisis response and we are well aware of the

Davies said sectors such as mining, clothing and textiles, automotive and capital goods had been hit really hard and that these were the industries government was targeting for assistance.

Asked what was expected of these companies in return for the bail-out packages Davies said much of the financial assistance would not come directly from government and they would not be expected to pay back loans, but it would be unfavourable to pay out huge bonuses to directors and shareholders.

“We will have to grapple with these issues as they come along.

At the moment our immediate concern is job retention and strategic investment.”

According to experts, already more than a 100 000 jobs

Rob Davies ... ‘Job retention the most important aspect.’ have been lost in South Africa following the economic crunch.

It is said that some 35 000 jobs are lost every month. Earlier this month President Jacob Zuma committed to ensuring 500 000 jobs would be created in the next six months.

Davies outlines SA’s concerns on Sacu ‘We’re critical of processes that undermine the organisation’

By Liesl Venter South Africa is not intent on pulling apart the SA Customs Union (Sacu), but instead is critical of processes that undermine the organisation, said Rob Davies, Minister of Trade and Industry.

Speaking after a briefing at the offices of Business Unity South Africa in Sandton recently, Davies said South Africa’s objective was to promote deeper integration of Sacu and to see it move towards an economic union. He said the recently signed

Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) should not be allowed to undermine it.

This follows the decision

by South Africa and Angola not to sign the agreement while Botswana, Lesotho and Swaziland all opted to sign. Mozambique is also believed to be willing to sign. Namibia has initialised the agreement, said Davies, but shares South Africa’s concerns and has voiced this.

“We are of the opinion that there are fundamental issues that need to be resolved before we can

sign. There are trade related matters that we want clarity on.”

He said one of the conditions required was to keep cheap clothing imports out of South Africa and that questions around the ban on export taxes and no provision for tariff protection over a period of time had not been addressed.

“In March we met in Swakopmund in Namibia where our concerns were voiced. We were of opinion that negotiations were not concluded after this meeting, but

it was indicated that the Commissioner wanted to move towards signatures.”

South Africa was then called to sign on June 4 and was given the original text

which did not include the issues discussed, said Davies.

“We believe that our position was not taken into account and that the clauses they agreed to change were not changed. The rules of origin are different.”

He said South Africa was not holding the agreement hostage, but could not sign a document that undermined Sacu. In fact South Africa is in favour of a deeper integration in Sacu. We don’t want to see it as only a form of convenience for transfers of revenue.”

‘Optimism for the first time since September’

By Alan Peat All the economic signals are currently showing red, according to Luke Doig, senior economist at Credit Guarantee Insurance Corporation (CGIC), and it’s still going to be some time before the SA economy escapes the clutches of the crisis.

“The almost 22% year-on-year fall in manufacturing production and sales in April 2009, hard on the heels of the sector’s similar contraction in GDP for the first quarter of 2009, provides the starkest evidence of the precipitous decline in the domestic business cycle,” he told FTW. “Whilst it would be folly to assume that no further shocks by way of negative economic indicators may emanate, the vital issue is whether we are currently at the bottom of the cycle.”

However, the business confidence measures are not all dismal.

After recording a record low of 35.6 in April, Doig pointed out that the Kagiso purchasing managers’ index (PMI) ticked up to 37.3 in May – and he expected it to manage to eke out further gains in the months ahead.

“Three of the nine sub-indices perpetuated their poor performance in April,” he said, “with employment and

FTW1716SD

purchasing commitments remaining subdued, reflecting weak demand and a lack of short-term confidence.

“However, expected business conditions indicated net optimism for the first time since September last year.”

But, Doig added, this does not mask the pain that many are experiencing.

He highlighted that manufacturing sales of iron and steel products (22.9% contribution to total sales) declined 26.4% year-on-year, while motor vehicle products (10.9%) fell by almost half and furniture (5.2%) saw sales plummet 31.1%. Food and beverages (15.4% weighting of sales) managed to contain their sales losses to 4.8% in April 2009 compared to a year earlier.

“In March,” Doig said, “we were forthright in warning that April would be adversely affected by disruptions caused by public holidays and advocated frontloading interest rate cuts at that time.

“The business environment is going to remain challenging for months to come, while outlandish labour union wage demands do very little to help matters.

Further pressures to costs in the short term may also be expected – fuel price under-recoveries of almost 40-cents per litre and 31-cents per litre for petrol and diesel respectively, underline these fears.”

SA gets chilling wake-up call on piracy threat general meeting of the Maritime Law Association of South Africa in Cape Town recently where he asserted the country’s “lax maritime security” was cause for grave concern.

“South Africa is also facing an onslaught due to insufficient border security measures, in particular its increasingly vulnerable coastline.”

By Ray Smuts Piracy is no here-today, gonetomorrow phenomenon – so here is a wake-up call to South Africa that the ‘Somali virus’ is alive, active and on the march.

This chilling reality was underscored by leading maritime lawyer, Johan Swart of Shepstone and Wylie Attorneys at the annual

Swart referred to testimony

by South African Maritime Safety (Samsa) CEO, Tsietsi Mokhele, to Parliament’s transport portfolio committee that South Africa’s technological capacity to monitor and track foreign vessels in its waters was “non-existent”, a situation that makes it “ideal for ships embarking on clandestine activities – and indeed

for pirates.

“South Africa,” said Mokhele, “should therefore heed repeatedly issued warnings as the country is by no means immune to becoming a prime target for pirates and a hotspot for piracy.”

The country is lagging, already five months overdue, in installing a Long Range Identification and Tracking

(LRIT) system to monitor ships passing within 1 500km of its coastline.

Swart concluded his engrossing presentation by saying: “The African continent is no longer an island unto itself…and is considered a virtual treasure trove for modern rocket-wielding pirates seeking to secure lucrative gains from their illacquired loot.”

ICS bursary scheme supports skills development goals

Joint initiative … Back row: D Bjastaard and J Odjfell, both of Jo Tankers head office in Norway; Jeremy Skeen, Jo Tankers SA representative; and Stephen Pike and Dan Dalton of King & Sons. In the foreground with Sithengile School Grade 12 pupils are Maritime Studies teacher Margaret Masuku and Megan Harris, ICS SA branch director.

A bursary programme has been arranged by the Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers (ICS) together with Jo Tankers for the Sithengile Secondary School in Claremont, Durban.

It funds an introductory part-time course - typically completed over 9-months – and commenced at the start of the current school year.

The ICS told FTW that it became involved in assisting the school in 2008 – attempting to raise

the standard of its maritime economics course.

“We are confident that the Jo Tankers’ bursary sponsorship will set an example for other corporations to join in and support,” a spokesman said.

“The huge skills shortage in the maritime industry, coupled with the fact that the industry is by its very nature in a constant state of development, means that it is up to employers to ensure their staff are fully trained and fully up to date with

international standards. It is also the responsibility of the industry to support new initiatives to ensure a constant and sustainable supply of skills into the future.”

The course, “Understanding Shipping”, was awarded to the 10 best students who completed Grade 11 maritime economics in 2008. Upon successful completion of the course each student will receive a certificate from the ICS in London.

CONSOLIDATORS As more and more shippers opt for smaller loads more often in the tighter economic climate, the impact of the

recession on groupage operators is less evident than the rest of the industry.

Industry leaders offer their perspectives.

‘Actively helping customers to find ways of reducing costs’

By James Hall Transport consolidators have to be smarter than ever if they want to survive profitably in today’s recessionary climate, says Arnold Reddy, MD of Reddy Cargo Services. “In simple language, business is not what it was a year ago. Since the global economic downturn, consolidators are operating in survival mode and must adapt to the changing conditions to survive,” Reddy said.

Last year, road transport companies like Reddy Cargo Services, with its fleet of 50 long-haul trucks, had to contend with a 60% rise in running costs.

This year the global recession has added to last year’s woes by slashing volumes. The only consistent factor throughout the roller coaster ride is the importance of the customer and

exceptional customer service.

A fact that is more relevant now than ever.

“Customers are very well aware of the demand for their business – they hold all the aces and are playing it smartly, forcing the proactive transporter into offering more than just logistic and consolidation services.” says Reddy. “Our ‘Customer First’ philosophy, which has always been a founding pillar of Reddy Cargo Services,” says Reddy, “has enabled us to actively assist customers in finding ways to reduce transport costs. This proactive customer first policy is a must in keeping current clients and obtaining new business in these tough times. I guess one could say that we have now added transport consultation to our logistics and consolidation services.”

One way, of reducing costs,

Cargo to Africa on a growth trajectory Global volumes maintaining

By Joy Orlek Despite the economic downturn, independent groupage operator CFR Freight has seen volumes maintaining, says managing director Martin Keck.

“Compared to clearing and forwarding agents who are talking of more substantial volume declines we have been a lot more fortunate. We believe that a considerable amount of sea freight cargo has converted from FCL to LCL,” he told FTW. While there hasn’t been growth, he says volumes have remained stable despite the worldwide economic slowdown.

“Looking at specific regions, however, volume discrepancies are noticeable.

While volumes to and from countries worst hit by the crisis – like Japan and the UK – are more volatile, South East

Asia, specifically Vietnam, has grown. A lot of Chinese factories have relocated to Vietnam and our agents Shipco Transport have recently opened their own offices due to the growing demand.”

Another growth area is exports into Africa, says Keck, where volumes are substantially up.

“Not only are South African products being exported into Africa, but a lot of goods sourced in India and China are transhipped via Durban.

Our containers are being filled with Chinese and Indian cargo destined for sub-Saharan Africa. Europe has lost its number one position as a source of African imports.”

But while volumes may have remained stable, profitability has taken strain, he added.

“Because of overcapacity on most trades, space is freely available, which means freight rates have plunged drastically

Peter Schmidt-Loffler … ‘Service and customer focus is what truly sets us apart.’

Martin Keck … ‘Volumes have remained stable despite the worldwide economic slowdown.’

– and with everyone vying for a share of the shrinking pie, competition is fiercer than ever.”

A big concern, says Keck, are the cut-throat rates. “A

number of freight forwarders and shipping lines who have substantial infrastructures to support are rather doing business at a loss than turning away customers – and that

destabilises the trade for everyone.”

When the market is tight, expertise becomes key, says director Peter Schmidt-Löffler.

“Everyone is getting good rates from the lines.

“The question is who can do the business smarter and maximise container utilisation.

And of course service is very important from our side.

“It’s crucial to have the right tools like IT, neutrality and a powerful international network, but service and customer focus is what truly sets us apart.”

CFR’s membership of the WolrdWideAlliance provides extensive coverage for sea freight shipments around the globe while its recent joining of the neutral network of international airfreight wholesalers, the AirCargo Group, provides the same benefits for its growing airfreight customer base.

No fireworks – but second quarter improvement Moz on the planning boards

By James Hall The key decision to serve a destination depends on customer demand. For Durban-based Transmax Logistics, located at Pinewood, the next likely country to upgrade from secondary to primary route may be Mozambique.

“Our primary routes are Zimbabwe and Zambia, but this year we’ve received

FTW1701SD

a lot of enquiries about Mozambique,” said Melissa Upton, financial manager at Transmax.

“We would like to develop that route. Our main concern is guaranteeing delivery time. We need to honour deadlines,” Upton said.

Rather than have customer shipments languish for days or weeks as enough consolidation cargo is assembled to fill one of the

company’s four 34-tonne Super Link trucks, there have to be enough customers to consistently and swiftly send a vehicle on its way to justify a new route.

“We deliver anywhere in Africa. Volumes generally were off the first quarter of this year, which is the slow quarter anyway, and only slightly. We’re not expecting fireworks for the rest of the year, but we’ve seen volumes

improve in the second quarter,” said Upton.

One effect of this year’s economic contraction is that some previously dependable clients are having difficulty paying invoices by the usual 30-day deadline. As is the case with other consolidators, Upton noted: “We are cautious at the moment, a little wary of extending credit.”

Transmax Logistics picks

up shipments from its clients’ premises throughout SA, and maintains a depot in Johannesburg. Hazardous material handling is one speciality. The company fleet is about to grow with the purchase of another SuperLink.

“It’s a long-term investment. Sometimes we have to sub-contract, and when you do that you may not be in control,” Upton said.

CONSOLIDATORS

This year the container count is running in line with that of 2008, however the utilisation factor has dropped significantly, in particular on the Far East trade.

Big drop in container utilisation factor Next few months will be telling period The annual peak season for SA shipping, usually August and September, will tell the tale of 2009’s profitability for some consolidators hit by a decline in international shipping this year, said Raymond Cutts, sales director for International Liner Agencies.

Freight consolidators take up a very significant position within the supply chain and are often discounted in tough times but called upon when capacity difficulties are experienced and freight rates increase through supply and demand.

“This year our container count is running in line with that of 2008, however the utilisation factor has dropped significantly, in particular on our Far East trade. For us we have a 40 foot container out of Shanghai for instance, which we used to fill with 65 cubic metres of consol cargo. We are now only achieving 45 to 50 cubic metres. That’s 15 to 20 cubic metres down for us,” said Cutts.

“The shipping lines’ aggressive approach to freight rates in the quest for survival is drawing everyone into a downward spiral,” says Cutts. “For the first time South African consolidators are facing negative freight rates and this can be catastrophic. Any consolidator who falls into this trap is doing the importer

a disservice as the costs will inevitably be recovered somewhere along the line, usually at destination.

“For consolidators who sell container space to freight forwarders, profits can be marginal at the best of times. We do however appreciate forwarders have an obligation to advise their customers on the best shipping options.”

That being said certain carriers could be driven out of the business and even the Maersks of this world will find it extremely difficult to survive a prolonged period of operating at these levels, added Cutts.

“Containerised carriers have to be questioning how long they can endure, to the point where they can price at a level that will allow them to stay in business.

The next few months will see whether volumes pick up and if they do this could lead to carriers introducing general rate restorations, which is good news for all of us,” he said.

“ILA however still has a very positive outlook and through our sales focus is pushing hard to gain additional market share on our traditional trades and using this time as an opportunity to invest in the development of a number of new routes.”

Importer ultimately pays the price for kickbacks

By Joy Orlek The issue of kickbacks paid to suppliers, particularly on the trade lanes from the Far East and Indian subcontinent, is not going away and ultimately it’s the importer who is carrying the cost.

For every cubic metre imported, NVOCCs are paying kickbacks to suppliers in India and China, sometimes in the region of US$30-40 per freight ton. If they don’t pay they don’t

get the business.

Groupage operators who preferred to remain unnamed told FTW that it was a huge problem, and that they were waiting for it to implode.

“If you are paying a $40 kickback to the Chinese exporter, you’re going to load it onto your landside charges and the SA importer will be the ultimate loser.”

And according to our sources, the problem is getting worse.

Trucks keep rolling on schedule – in good and bad times Weathering lean economic times requires hard management choices, but the curtailment of services should not be an option.

“Volumes are definitely down this year. But the trucks still go out because that is the service we offer. Our customers have confidence that we will deliver those services,” said Daniel Singleton, general

manager of M&B Transport Services.

A consolidator with nearly 20 years’ experience sending breakbulk from SA to Lesotho, Swaziland and more recently Botswana, M&B Transport Services, based in Edanvale, is devoted to over-border consolidations.

All types of general cargo except perishables are moved.

Company trucks transport “anything and everything,” said Singleton, but in particular motor spares and consumer goods destined for neighbouring countries’ factories, stores and supermarkets.

“It is generally the same driving time and distance from Gauteng to Maseru, Manzini or Gaborone. When it comes to dealing with customs,

experience definitely helps.

You have to know what you’re doing,” Singleton said.

To avoid delays at the border, documents are prepared at the company headquarters.

“It’s all electronic. All the paperwork is done in Jo’burg beforehand and submitted electronically so it’s there at the border when the truck arrives. Lesotho, Botswana

and Swaziland are not on this system yet, but once a truck is cleared on the South African side they usually let it through.

We don’t usually have any problems,” said Singleton.

M&B Transport Services clients rely on that experience, and the certainty that in bad economic times and not just good the trucks keep rolling on schedule.

Simplifying Part 108 compliance The imposition of the Part 108 air cargo security regulations next month (July) will make compliance an essential ingredient of the airfreight industry’s product mix, according to Jurie Koen, sales manager of Transit.

“Our decision to be a ‘regulated agent’ as per Part 108 will enable our clients to operate as ‘unknown shippers’ – but with minimum delay and cost to their operations,” he told FTW. “We play a vital intermediary role. Freight tendered to Transit branches will be processed and tendered to the airline in compliance with Part 108.”

But the compliance procedure has not been without its costs, Koen added.

The company had to invest in X-ray equipment, X-ray operators, X-ray and Part 108 training, while at the same time beefing up security with additional cameras, response units and the like. It also had to redesign all its warehouses to conform with operational

“A Part 108 surcharge will be introduced with effect from July 1 this year,” said Koen,

“to help us recover the initial outlay and assist with the ongoing operational costs.”

In achieving Part 108 compliance, Transit has also had to create a management

strategy to solve each of the security demands laid down in the new regulations.

“Over the past two years we have made huge efforts to adjust and comply with

security 108,” said Koen.

“And during that time our policy has always been one of embracing the intent of the rules rather than opposing them or finding loopholes.”

Overnight airfreight volumes increase

By James Hall Consolidators report this to be a challenging but interesting year, and say they are seeing changes not only in volumes but also in the type of services that customers prefer.

“Certain volumes on certain service types have increased – for instance on the airfreight side overnight cargo volumes have increased while normal air cargo has declined and moved to road due to the cost

differential,” said Bruce van Wyk, managing director of Interloc Freight Services. IFS is a specialist in airport to airport transport and maintains a network of airport-based offices at OR Tambo, Cape Town, Durban, Port Elizabeth, East London and George, with agent representation in Bloemfontein and Kimberley.

“The increases are mainly due to new accounts while existing clients have marginally improved,” said Van Wyk whose

Preferential contracted terms with a range of airlines. firm moves mainly general cargo.

As the company name suggests, Interloc brings together the differing parties in the shipping industry – freight forwarders, courier companies and airlines who then reap cost savings through operation integration and preferred capacity allocations.

Established in 2005, Interloc

itself is a relatively new player within the domestic airfreight industry, but its staff accounts for more than 25 years’ experience and long-standing relations in the domestic consolidations industry.

IFS has a strategic alliance with Air Care Cargo, and its customers benefit from preferential contracted terms from SAA, British Airways,

Express Air Services and Imperial Air Cargo.

For ground transport, Van Wyk said, the company in-sources all vehicles. “And our capabilities include eight ton trucks to Super-Links.”

As for the qualities that draw in new customers, urgency, accountability, expertise, location and economies of scale are what counts, he said.

with this a revived interest in doing business. “For us we can see the difference. We are doing a lot more quotes for shipping to Zimbabwe,” said Loram.

BP Freight picks up shipments from Cape Town and Durban, and consolidations are assembled at the company’s Johannesburg office and

warehouse in Pomona. Like other transport firms delivering to Zambia, a lessening of volumes since last year is attributed to declining mining activity. The month of May saw a perceptible increase in volumes. “It’s too early to say it’s a trend, but we do see more business. The mines have to keep operating,” said Loram

Zim volumes steadily growing

By James Hall Despite the travails of Zimbabwe's economy this past year, a key transport player like Leo Shipping has found its consolidations to Zim for the first quarter of '09 have matched last year's volumes. Leo Shipping specialises in Zim groupage transport, and anticipates steadily improving business ahead.

“99% of our business is Zimbabwe, and much has changed in the past months, mostly due to a change in forex rules that went into effect on March 1” said Warren Jayes, a partner in the Kaserne-based road transport firm.

DRC and Zambia are also served by Leo Shipping, but this year's decline in commodity demand has drastically reduced volumes to those countries, while demand for a key item hauled into Zim, construction equipment and inputs, has risen just as dramatically.

“There is a lot of building going on all over the country. We deliver to Harare and the materials, which are

manufactured in South Africa, are taken to the sites from there” said Jayes.

Reflecting a steadiness of business and belief that more work is to come, the group’s fleet of 42 trucks in '08 has grown to 50 this year.

“Zimbabwe is one of the busiest destinations for South African transporters. It definitely is for us,” said Jayes whose trucks also haul groceries and general goods into the country.

“There is a lot of positivity about the economic outlook in Zimbabwe.

The business climate is good and there is a feeling that it will grow better as the year goes on. What I know is what I see, and the volumes are steady and growing,” Jayes said.

Even the perennial congestion at Beit Bridge Border Post has abated somewhat he said. The replacement of the Zim dollar with the US dollar and SA rand have seen goods returning to Zim store shelves and less consumers streaming into SA to purchase necessities.

Africa network adds muscle

By Alan Peat The extra muscle added through its acquisition in 2008 by the multi-national Bollore Africa Logistics has seen SAEL fast becoming an Africa specialist, according to the company’s Durbanbased less-than container load (LCL) groupage specialist, Anna Gey van Pittius.

“It gives us an edge over our competitors,” she told FTW, “as we now form part of the most extensive integrated network in Africa.”

“Our focus is on Africa for LCL, road and air freight, as we see huge growth potential even in these tough times.”

The group’s African interests spread a web of service outlets spanning the entire continent.

Said Van Pittius: “We have the facilities to service almost

every African country – with over 40 offices and over 2 000 employees across the continent.”

The areas of rapid growth include Angola, Zambia/ DRC and Madagascar, and the same growth spiral is expected in Zimbabwe – once the political situation stabilises and the rebuilding of the country begins.

“SAEL is a market leader in LCL imports,” Van Pittius added, “and, for the past two years, we have taken our exports to a new level.

“With our ocean services covering East and West Africa and using our corridor approach to service the landlocked countries, SAEL is fast becoming the Africa specialist.

“Through our systemised border processes and road bond facility we are able to offer a full door-todoor service.”

‘Customers thrive on the direct contact’ medical supplies into Swaziland and Lesotho.

Breakbulk cargo includes transformers, turbines, cable drums and other equipment,” said Hewitt, listing the necessities of industrial maintenance made in SA and shipped into neighbouring countries.

The company has thrived on referral business.

Clients recommend our service to others, and the draw card is personalised customer attention.

“I think this is a lot of the appeal of our company.

Customers phone and they get hold of me directly or the lady who works with me, and they get a quote right away. There’s no delay dealing with different departments or faxed paperwork,” said Hewitt.

By James Hall For Botswana Consolidators – a company whose name says it all business has been down slightly in ’08. The reason can be traced to a downturn in mining sector activity, which made up a portion of the firm’s northbound groupage.

“Mining has been affected terribly. That was full load shipments rather than groupage, and that has slowed way down. But I think we’re getting along fine in other shipments.

We still manage to send up to three Superlinks a week,” said Kitty Hewitt, Johannesburg-based managing director.

EDI will bring consistency to Lesotho route

By James Hall In order to maximise delivery speed for consolidations going into Lesotho, transport firms are urging the country’s customs officials to get with the electronic programme.

“EDI is now active at places like Maseru Bridge, but only on the South African side.

We’re using it 100% and we are seeing time savings on the South African side.

But things slow down on the Lesotho side,” said Kevin Dagnin, founding member of Kayhil Freight. The Lesotho consolidation specialist maintains its Gauteng office in Alberton, and has a distribution warehouse in Maseru.

“EDI will also save time by making customs operations consistent.

Consistency is a problem with the South African customs. Every shift that comes on has its own interpretation of the rules.

But with EDI, once a cargo is cleared in Pretoria, there’s no room for discussion,” Dagnin said.

Kayhil has years of experience finessing every time and cost saving it can manage for customers, and as a result now handles courier work for most express parcel companies, including FedEx, TNT, United

Express, Dawn Wing, In-Express, Globe Flight, OCS, Skynet and Courier IT. The years of consolidations have seen cargoes change, from a preponderance of goods going to garment factories to humanitarian aid. But hardware is one steady mover.

“We transport a lot of agricultural tools that go to the hardware stores, like irrigation pumps and pipes used by the farmers,” said Dagnin.

Volumes are slightly down from last year as even small landlocked Lesotho feels some effects of global conditions, but demand for the general goods moved in Kayhil’s consolidated shipments has remained consistent.

Another perennial mover is computers, which Kayhil Freight imports for its South African manufacturers.

“We bring in electronic supplies regularly, on a daily basis for some customers,” said Dagnin.

A notable development on the customs clearance issue has been the recent election of Hilary Woelk, Kayhil’s managing member, as chairperson of the new Lesotho Freight Association, which is engaging Sars and Lesotho’s Customs Department on EDI and other road freight issues.

Special software caters for groupage market EDI compliant for manifest acquittal system

You must have key strengths in a software system if you are intending to match the needs of the consolidator market, according to J-L Koekemoer, systems architect/developer at ShipShape Software.

This, he told FTW, means that a package has to be designed that complies with all the speciality requirements of the NVOCCs, and gives them a comprehensive record of each step along the supply chain.

“Our software gives an across-the-board cover,” said Koekemoer, “producing professional-looking quotations/estimates, then integrated all the way to doing the pre-alert, the final

shipment and then the handover and invoicing.”

This allows the consolidator to print various forwarding, breakbulk and groupage-related documents – branded with such crisp titles and acronyms as SOB details, DROs, ANFs, release letters, indemnity letters, transport instructions and delivery instructions.

“The software is also designed to fit into the paper-free environment,” Koekemoer added. “It is fully SA Revenue Service (Sars) EDI-compliant with regards to the manifest acquittal system, and allows the client to have his manifests electronically submitted to Sars without the need for paper.

“Also, should the consolidator be doing

customs clearing as well, the seamless link between the forwarding and clearing file eliminates any duplicate capturing of information.”

‘Choosing a report on volumes per route or per carrier gives the consolidator leverage in negotiations – allowing him to rank his clients and suppliers in business volumes.’

Fulfilling another basic industry requirement is the comprehensive and fully automated sales representative reporting system.

“This allows you to assign multiple sales reps to a

client,” said Koekemoer, “define different commission percentages for different types of shipments, and indicate for each individual charge which revenue codes are commissionable, and which are not.”

The system then allows the user to view the sales representative commission report in four different formats ranging from a very detailed to a completely summarised format.

Said Koekemoer: “The bane of most business owners’ lives is to manually calculate commissions using spreadsheets, and then still have to fend off the usual disputes when your reps challenge your figures. This system makes compiling and auditing your sales commissions a walk in

the park.”

It also has a feature that is a valuable tool in a consolidator’s marketing strategy.

According to Koekemoer, choosing a report on volumes per route or per carrier, for example, gives the consolidator leverage in negotiations – allowing him to rank his clients and suppliers in business volumes.

“You can, for instance, at the click of a button, see how many 20-foot and 40-ft containers you shipped with a particular shipping line over a given period from a certain port of loading.

“It’s the type of comparative data that gives a consolidator that extra edge in negotiating the best rates.”

Tighter times mean more quotes

By James Hall The economic downturn has proved good for the consolidation business because the smaller volumes being shipped require breakbulk handling.

“Breakbulk is more common nowadays because factories are not filling full containers. Their orders are smaller. This is what we saw during the last economic downturn,” said Mark Snowball,” MD of RFB Logistics.

As a result, consolidators like RFB Logistics are seeing consistent business this year, though achieving this has required work.

“We’re at the other end of the phone all the time. There are big opportunities in the subcontracting game nowadays. You have to keep an ear to the ground every day,” said Snowball.

The firm operates out of Durban and Johannesburg and has notched up 24 years’ experience in the consolidation field. Breakbulk containers arriving by ship at the port of

Durban are broken down at the company’s yard and loaded onto a fleet of 30 trucks for delivery to customers.

Another sign of the times is the rise in requests for quotes, as shippers seek accurate and economic forecasts to save time and money.

“I’m doing a lot more quoting nowadays since the economy has tightened up. 80% of our time is taken up by quoting, and 80% of the quotes go to transporters.

They need the quotes for their clients,” Snowball said.

“A lot of people in our game don’t know how to quote. Or they won’t quote sight unseen.

They want to see the cargo first.

We’re also willing to go out on a limb with a quote. A customer may tell us by phone that the shipment is 3.5 tonnes and nine cubic metres. We quote for that.

We stick to the quote when the shipment arrives and it’s seven tonnes,” Snowball said.“You go along with it, because at the end of the day it all evens out,” he said.

Durban sales and release operation upgraded

By James Hall Consolidation shipments on key northern routes have not been drastically affected by the global economic climate, one groupage company reports.

“World Groupage Services is taking an optimistic view of the current economic situation on the basis that our volumes in our prime business – groupage out of the USA and UK – has held remarkably steady,” says director Alistair Heald.

Heald noted that FCL volumes had diminished over this time last year, particularly in automotive parts and related industries as is the case worldwide, and concurred with Tito Mboweni’s recent comments that dollar-based companies are taking

strain from the relative strength of the rand.

“All this considered, World Groupage Services has continued to offer a weekly service from the USA and UK into all four major ports in South Africa,” said Heald, whose company has offices in Cape Town, Durban and Johannesburg.

“We have over recent months decided to take a positive stance and have actually increased our staff complement, especially in the area of sales. We also continue to use the best possible method of transport for our clients such as road freight from the ports as opposed to rail, saving several days over the rail option and thus aiding in just in time management,” he said.

WGS has adjusted and

upgraded its Durban sales and release operation, looking forward to growth in that region. Over the past 12 months the company has upgraded its IT systems so that, following registration of a shipment, clients will be able to receive automatic email updates of any changes in the status of the groupage shipment in real time. The company website is also being redesigned to provide such useful information as conversion tables, incoterms and container specs, as well as offering interactive maps showing the geographical movement the cargo will take together with cut-offs and transit times.

“All of this will be available to our customers shortly,” said Heald.

US specialist holding its own the exports out of the USA, which also means that no vessels have been laid up on the USA trade,” said Claude Nuttall, director of Cape Town-based United Maritime Logistics. He said these factors explained that while the general consolidation market had been down from 10% to 25%, with some companies registering as much as a 40% decrease in business, UML’s business

By James Hall A strong US shipping market has ensured that a firm devoted to this route has been less buffeted by this year’s shipping business misfortunes.

“Basically we are the USA specialist and can move any cargo from the USA to South Africa. The USA market is strong, with the specialised commodities supporting

currently reflected an overall decline of only around 5%.

“We have been fortunate to have new business make up for any decline in existing business. Imports have been steady with some months being up on last year’s figures and some months being in line or slightly down,” Nuttall said.

“The USA trade has been hit especially hard over the last couple of years with

GRIs. Recently on other routes the rates have come down, and this doesn’t make it easy for us to explain to our clients when a GRI has been announced,” he said.

Despite the increases, Nuttall noted, “The only significant market decline is being noticed with clients that used to import perhaps 2 x 40 foot containers, who now opt to import 1 x 40-footer with

1 x 20-footer.”

United Maritime Logistics is the agent for Direct Container Line, USA, and while the company speciality is LCL cargo from the US to SA’s four major ports, FCL service is also offered.

“We recently moved some specialised machinery from the USA to Durban on breakbulk vessels. We also handle out of gauge cargo,” he said.

‘Namibia could be heading for a downturn’

By James Hall For the consolidation firm that has become a Namibia specialist, the year has seen about average volumes. But intimations of an imminent Namibian economic decline abound.

"Business has not been bad this year, but Namibia

may be facing a down cycle as is South Africa.

A lot of projects have been put on hold. Cash borrowing is hard," Gordon Jay, director of Transworld Roadfrieght said of some telltale indicators.

"Namibia's economy is closely tied to South Africa, coupled to the

same Reserve Bank, and the currencies have the same value. That lends stability. But Namibia has its own shipping needs," said the consolidator whose expertise along the Trans-Kalahari Corridor has established his reputation for shippers of breakbulk cargo going to

and from Gauteng and Namibia. Transworld has its Johannesburg offices in Spartan, and its Namibian office in Windhoek.

"We handle all types of general cargo, going both ways. One of the areas where we do well is the movement of bonded cargo.

At present we seem to be transporting a lot of ship spare parts in bond. These come to Johannesburg from all over the world, and we take them to Walvis Bay by road," said Jay. All the collection as well as long haul vehicles are company owned.

Higher volumes of damaged cargo a worrying trend

By Joy Orlek Higher volumes of LCL rather than FCL cargo is clearly the trend in the current recessive economic climate, but with it comes another worrying trend – an increase in volumes of damaged cargo, says Cargocare Freight Services’ Sue Wood.

“The LCL market is doing well because more people are bringing in smaller quantities more often.

“But because of the move away from FCLs, a number of co-loaders are co-loading with other consolidators which means you could end up with two or three co-loaders all as part of one container shipment.

And when co-loaders can’t find enough cargo to fill the container, you then end up with half empty containers which leads to higher quantities of damaged cargo than ever before.”

The result is that shippers who are not moving particularly

vulnerable cargo and who have never had claims before are now facing this additional burden.

“We hand-pick our co-loaders, which is why until now we’ve had a very clean record in terms of damages as far as risk control is concerned.

But because of market trends there’s little we can do about it.”

Wood’s reading of the market is very much in tune with industry consensus.

“Despite the trend to LCL cargo, volumes are definitely down – not only in terms of the number of shipments but in terms of contents. “Tonnage is probably down by 50% but the actual number of shipments is only down by 20%. People are still bringing in cargo but they’re bringing in a lot less – and that’s across the board.”

According to Wood, Cargocare doesn’t have a lot of exposure to retail, which was by design rather than by accident.

“Sales activity continues apace. Like other players, we are hungry to fill some of the gaps that have developed over the last few months, but we are confident that this will begin to bear fruit very shortly.”

The cost of shipping in completely assembled motor vehicle imports has persuaded the big Indian auto-maker, Mahindra and Mahindra, to look at local assembly from early next year, according to Ashok Thakur, the new CE of Mahindra SA. Currently, the cost of shipping a container with three completely built-up (CBU) Mahindra vehicles from India to SA is about US$1 000, and US$1 500 to West Africa.

And, according to Thakur, 95% of parts for Mahindra vehicles sold in SA are already either distributed or manufactured locally – so local assembly fits the scene.

The company is focusing on using a local OEM (original equipment manufacturer). “There has always been extra capacity available,” Thakur said.

The Port of East London ... volumes down across the board.

Customs feels the pinch as trade volumes plummet Magashula calls for faster and smarter logistics

By Liesl Venter Trade volumes dropped by a staggering 21% between October and December last year while the value of trade essentially halved between July 2008 and January this year.

According to acting South African Revenue Service (Sars) Commissioner Oupa Magashula, customs revenue collections were down by 20% in February this year compared to the same period in 2008.

Speaking at the annual South African Association of Freight Forwarders (Saaff) congress in Johannesburg recently, Magashula said it was important that the country focus efforts on facilitating existing trade, protecting the economy from unfair competition and ensuring that industrial policy was effectively implemented.

“It is essential that smarter logistics becomes the key feature of our international

supply chain, with reduced costs, improved turnaround times and greater Sars efficiencies,” said Magashula.

“A reduction in our trade volumes knocks on in terms of lower actual and potential revenue collection. Economic crises also precipitate threats of evasion, avoidance and abuses of existing schemes and regimes, as distressed entities seek to cut down on overheads or shore up the bottom-line.”

He said it had become

imperative that South Africa harmonise its approach to world best practices while supporting process improvements that will ensure smarter and faster logistics.

According to the 2007 World Bank Competitiveness Survey, South Africa ranked a reasonable 24 out of 150 countries in logistics competitiveness ahead of China which came in at 30 and India at 39. In terms of Customs procedures South Africa was

27 out of 150 while in terms of international shipping the country ranked 22 overall.

“What we took from this survey was that supply chain efficiency can improve overall logistics competitiveness providing an important lever to support economic growth,” said Magashula. “It therefore necessitates a comprehensive design approach to enable the movement of goods rapidly, reliably and cheaply from point to point.”

‘Smaller forwarders the most vulnerable’

By Liesl Venter The freight forwarding industry is working hard to prove its resilience in the face of the global economic downturn as orders continue to be cancelled and considerably fewer goods are moved.

According to Basil Pietersen, chairman of the South African Association of Freight Forwarders (Saaff), the market has become much smaller with large and small operators feeling the pinch.

“It is the smaller operators who are really bearing the brunt as they do not have the benefit of large cash flows and funding. The industry will need to work hard to prove its resilience and forwarders will need to be highly strategic in their short- and long-term planning to survive the crunch and adapt to change.”

According to a report

by Research and Markets, an international research

resource, freight forwarding has been one of the most successful sectors of the global logistics industry over the past decade, achieved largely due to the trend of globalisation which has led manufacturing to relocate to remote markets around the world.

The development of economies such as China, Russia and India has also created a demand for international forwarding services. But there is no doubt that the credit crunch has brought an end to a prolonged period of growth.

Speaking at the annual Saaff congress recently, Pietersen said it was important that local forwarders were aware and at the forefront of international events and trends impacting business.

“We function within an industry that is hugely dynamic and constantly undergoing changes that have a profound effect on the way that we do business.”

Busa revives idea of freight focus group

By Liesl Venter Business Unity South Africa is set to meet with ministers and other roleplayers over the next few months in an effort to address issues of concern.

These include resuscitating a focus group to discuss the movement of freight with key government officials, said Busa CEO Jerry Vilakazi.

Speaking at the annual South African Association of Freight Forwarders Congress in Johannesburg recently, Vilakazi said this group had been in discussion with government for some time.

“We hope to resuscitate this group with the new government now in place,” he said. “It is critical to engage with the various government departments such as Sars, DTI and Transport. Aspects such

as policy coordination and implementation and infrastructure upgrades remain topics that need to talked about.”

He said therefore it was important for Busa to have a representative on the Sars/Customs forum, to monitor the development of these agencies, the changes they proposed and the impact they have on business.

“We represent business and freight forwarders like yourselves are businesses and therefore we represent you. We ensure that the voice of business is heard and that there is input on a variety of levels.”

He said whether it be the impact of the global economic crisis or Eskom’s proposed 34% tariff increase or the Competition Act, it was about making sure business had the opportunity to raise its

Hoëgh gives Maputo the thumbs-up

The Port of Maputo ... providing complementary back-up for busy SA ports. Photo: James Hall.

Last year’s test drive of roll-on, roll-off (ro/ro) car carriers into Maputo has proven successful, and Höegh Autoliners is soon to have vessels from two trades calling at the Mozambique hub port.

The first is the alreadyestablished monthly run on the Europe-SA-MozambiqueIndian Ocean Islands (IOI)Australia trade – with an extensive port rotation of:

Amsterdam, Bremerhaven, Antwerp, Le Havre, Southampton, Santaber, either Port Elizabeth or East London, Durban, Maputo, Tamatave, Reunion, Port Louis, Fremantle, Melbourne, Port Kembla (near Sydney), and Brisbane.

With what it complained were “logistical challenges in SA ports and a lack of terminal infrastructure”, Höegh Autoliners decided to add Maputo to this schedule from last September – in a

trial run lasting until March this year.

One of the attractions at the Mozambique port, according to customer services manager for Africa, Fernanda da Souza, was the new car terminal that has been in operation in Maputo since the end of 2007.

“The market showed considerable interest in making use of these facilities as a complement to Durban port and its car terminal,” she told FTW. “The volumes

are still enough to keep us interested, and we intend to keep this monthly service running for another six months.”

Also, the Norwegian vehicle carrier operator is about to enter the trade between the Middle East, India and Africa – with an initial sailing scheduled for the first week of July, and catering for both rolling and static cargo.

The monthly sailings are due to call at Jebel Ali,

Promise of the good life keeps Somali piracy buoyant ‘Many women fantasise about marrying a pirate’

By Ray Smuts As many ship owners continue to pay pirate ransoms in order to protect crew, cargo and vessels from harm, piracy has probably become Somalia’s most lucrative ‘profession’, netting US$150 million last year alone.

What started out as rag-tag bands of seagoing robbers has become a highly sophisticated, well-coordinated industry as pirates invest their ill-gotten gains in more sophisticated weapons, navigation equipment, strike craft…even military-style camouflage dress.

Johan Swart of Shepstone and Wylie Attorneys in Cape

Town gave The Maritime Law Association of South Africa’s annual general meeting a fascinating insight into just where the ransom money goes.

Pirates actually involved in a hijacking get to keep 30%, pirate bosses receive 20% and government officials 30%, while 20% is spent on future operations.

Pirates collect an average ransom of US$2 million per hijacked vessel and are known to look well after captured crews, right down to supplying food from special kitchens if they are assured a ransom will be paid.

Piracy has become “socially acceptable” in Somalia, in many

ways enjoying the support of most coastal village communities and the admiration of many women who fantasise about marrying a pirate.

Lavish la dolce vita lifestyles include large houses, top of the range vehicles and expensive women. “They have money, power and they are getting stronger by the day,” observes Swart.

There was a total of 180 reported piracy incidents off the Somali coast in 2008, the number of actual attacks 115, of which 46 were successful hijackings.

Attempted but foiled hijackings came to 69 and suspicious

approaches which did not result in actual attacks to 65, for an overall success rate of 40%.

Successful hijackings were at their highest level in August (70%), declining to 48% in September, 28% in October, 42% in November and 25% in December.

The success rate of Somali pirates was at its highest in the Gulf of Aden, 45% in April this year, and 39% in the Indian Ocean the same month.

Last year, 11 crew were killed, 32 injured, 21 declared missing and 42 kidnapped for ransom.

Tankers, bulk carriers and cargo ships were initially the major targets but Somali pirates

are clearly intent on richer pickings, targeting several large luxury yachts and at least six cruise liners, including MSC Melody – well-known in South African ports – over the past year.

Swart says the individual results of Somali piracy makes it likely that the scourge will spread to more areas globally.

He believes the increasing threat is bound to discourage seafarers from continuing their profession.

The seafarer shortfall, already at 34 000, is expected to increase to 83 900 in 2012.

While global awareness of Somali piracy has increased, how to successfully deal with them has yet to be defined.

“While the air cargo market has been severely affected by the global economic crisis, we are still cautiously optimistic about its recovery beginning to start towards the last quarter of this year,” said Naicker.
