BREAKBULK AMERICAS 2016 SPONSORS Dear industry colleagues, As our 27th Breakbulk Americas is quickly approaching, I have lots to share and look forward to explaining some new happenings you will find at this year’s event. This year is shaping to be our largest to date. I want you to know how much we want this to be a success for you. Below are ways we are working to ensure Breakbulk Americas continues to be the largest exhibition event of its kind in the Americas, bringing top-tier shippers together with breakbulk and project cargo service providers. 1. We are expanding our VIP Shipper’s Club program. Our global team is busy organizing an annual luncheon and monthly newsletters to encourage more direct interface. This will ensure our content and programming is truly engaging and covering what the industry wants and needs to know more about. I encourage you look at our Conference Sessions schedule and attend as many sessions as you can. 2. We will launch the Breakbulk Hosted Buyers Program. This meeting concept has been discussed for years and recently raised by Houston VIP shippers. It will give us the face-to-face interaction onsite that often takes place behind the scenes. The details are being worked out and I look forward to sharing them with you. 3. We will continue to offer Exhibitor-led Sessions. A proven success last year, we will be doing this again. This reserved space on the exhibition floor gives exhibitors a forum to share their latest and noteworthy news. Spaces here are limited, so please reach out to me soon to discuss these opportunities. We take immense pride in helping you – from registration to your exhibition details – don’t hesitate to contact me. You are the reason why Breakbulk is a success.

billion worth of transactions. The bank estimates that this funding helped to support about US$27.5 billion of U.S. exports and 164,000 U.S. jobs. U.S. Chamber President Thomas J. Donohue applauded Congress’ reauthorization success, and the “congressional leaders who have acted to protect the competitiveness of American companies.” Still, conservatives have criticized the bank as unwarranted government finance for private exporters, labeling it “corporate welfare” and “crony capitalism.” The Ex-Im Bank is primarily needed to maintain strategic U.S. manufacturing and services and global competitiveness, according to Lori Baer, with AECOM, in a recent Breakbulk magazine article. U.S. jobs rely on it. It provides financing for U.S. customers abroad, provides peace of mind for exporters, fills market gaps, lowers risk and is relatively transparent. The fact that it makes money for taxpayers is an incidental benefit. William G. Schubert, former U.S. maritime administrator, and scheduled speaker at Breakbulk Americas, said during the fight for reauthorization that, “The failure to reauthorize the Ex-Im Bank would have left U.S.-domiciled companies virtually defenseless to compete for capital projects that require some level of ECA support.” There are nearly 60 export credit agencies, or ECAs, active in the world, which some countries’ programs many times larger than the U.S. China, for instance, invests twice as much as Ex-Im, while Japan invests five times as much. Brackett Denniston, who recently retired as GC general counsel and senior vice president, called Ex-Im Bank’s lapse “a naïve gamble with American jobs as the victim.” Denniston said lack of Ex-Im financing threatened GE’s ability to compete for three projects totaling US$1.15 billion. Despite reauthorization, Ex-Im continues to suffer from political shenanigans, as Republican Senate Banking Chairman Richard Shelby has refused to advance nominees to the Ex-Im Bank’s board, essentially tying the undermanned bank from financing any new deals over US$10 million, effectively blocking
financing for major export projects that are the lifeblood of the breakbulk, heavylift and project cargo industry. “It’s a simple reality in today’s world that project sponsors will not proceed to Final Investment Decision for major capital projects unless there is some level
of ECA support. This is particularly true for projects in developing countries,” Schubert warned. Without the Ex-Im Bank, U.S. businesses and employees compete on a very uneven playing field; U.S. industry would be wise to work hard to preserve this tool. BB

5 TIPS TO MITIGATE RISK Thomas Damsgaard, an arbitrator with the Houston Maritime Arbitration Association and president of consultancy Vimar Global, speaks of a “new normal” in assessing risk. In addition to issues of oversupply and weakened demand, several dynamics are affecting relationships with vessel operators and cargo owners. Damsgaard offers some key strategies for mitigating these risks.
1
FIND OUT WHAT CUSTOMERS WANT: CAPACITY AND CAPABILITY
Complex project cargoes are growing in size, quantity and complexity, driving an increased focus on competency, driven by higher project cost and tighter timelines. It has always been good business to listen to the customers, thus I believe a key strategy is to create deeper relationships with clients. There is a notion that it is not companies that compete against each other, but it is the supply chains that compete. Carriers should look deeper into the supply chain, identify opportunities where value may be added by the carriers to the customers. This is both in form the traditional carrier service offerings, but also going beyond. For example, don’t be stuck on traditional freight payment terms. Customers should have a strong
vetting focus on competency over compliance, and get closer to the carrier in order to help manage expectations.
2
Listen to the full interview with Thomas Damsgaard at breakbulk.com/americas, in the conference agenda.
FORM STRATEGIC
ALLIANCES ON SERVICE AND CAPABILITIES
Look at hybrids – working with competitors (including handy-size) in strategic alliances, pairing assets and know-how for innovative solutions to meet complex challenges. If you can’t beat them, join them. And that goes for freight forwarders too.
3
LEARN FROM OTHER
TRANSPORTATION SEGMENTS AND INDUSTRY
Keeping an open mind learning from other industries is a key ingredient. For example, how does trucking manage their workforce to reduce accidents? Also we have already seen several companies making strategic decisions, putting leaders in place who have experience and relations outside the traditional project cargo segment. I believe moving from selling ocean freight, to offering transport solutions does require a paradigm shift in carriers’ thinking. It is a move away from being asset-fixated and more customercentric. That’s a hard thing to do for a very conservative industry which still relies on contracts that refer to boilers and steamers in their contract language.
4
EMBRACE TECHNOLOGY – DO NOT BE FEARFUL
Turn Big Data into Smart Data. Use smart data to identify trends that could improve operations and adopting latest technologies which interfaces with all stake holders in the supply chain, may carve out a competitive advantage for MPV operators. Examples would be tracking cargo in real time and move towards e-documents.
5
EDUCATE EDUCATE EDUCATE
For the strategic partnership to be of mutual benefit, the MPV owner/ operators traditional vessel asset focus and A to Z transport philosophy must be complemented with an understanding of customer driven total cost and value in the supply chain. This will require a broader and higher educated workforce working on solutions across financial, commercial, operational and technical disciplines within the MPV organizations. BB

PAIN OR PRODUCTIVITY? Coping with Today’s Market
THIS YEAR’S SHIPPERS PANEL will tackle “Wrangling the Economic Roller Coaster,” which promises to be a lively discussion among prominent cargo owners. Here panel moderator Greg Gowans, Director of Logistics & Expediting for CH2M, offers a preview.
D
epending on the range of industries served by an engineering, procurement and construction company, the current economic picture looks quite different. “We’ve certainly seen a significant impact in the energy business: massive declines in exploration, offshore energy construction and development,” Gowans said. “These declines are seen somewhat in midstream, but not nearly as much in downstream. Low energy costs are promoting a very large increase in downstream activity such as petro-
chemicals both in the United States and around the world.” Customer base diversification is fundamental to this period. CH2M supports a very broad range of industries in terms of who their clients are: energy, infrastructure, government and more. “Our other businesses are doing quite well. Our diversity is helping us,” Gowans said. “Other engineering companies that have a much greater focus on energy are being impacted as our mutual clients decrease capital expenditures and operations.”

Conference Session Wednesday, Sept. 28, 2:00 p.m. – 2:50 p.m.
Shippers Panel – Wrangling the Economic Roller Coaster
STRATEGIC RESPONSE
Gowans said there is no question that CH2M and its peers have had to adjust to the market. “We have to react in terms of where our engineering forces are located and their size. The same holds true for our logistics and procurement forces,” he said. The company is reallocating its resources across other industries and doing some consolidation (geographic and corporate) as are its peer companies. Cost management has become top priority. “We’re helping our clients manage costs and in doing that we have to do that ourselves,” Gowans said. “We have to find ways to execute our work more efficiently and more effectively.” This pressure affects the value chain from one end to the other, including ports and transportation providers. “Cost reduction can be done painfully or productively by finding ways to improve efficiency such as eliminating waste and duplication of effort” he said. Done right, cost reduction is sustainable. BB

ISSUE 3 / 2016
INFLUENTIAL ECONOMIC FACTORS AHEAD Gowans admits he has no crystal ball for foretelling the industry’s economic future. But with years of experience under his belt, he can tell us what key factors we should watch:
1. U.S. election this fall will have an economic impact, regardless of the outcome. Typically, following a major election there’s a period of freezing where nothing happens in terms of government spending.
2. With Iran coming back into
the market to globally monetize its energy resources, we will have to be very attentive to the effect on oil prices.
3. How BRIC countries perform over the next few years is important because they are major growth economies.
4. Issues with the EU and
potential UK disengagement from the currency will be important.
5. The U.S. economy is not as
strong as we’d like it to be, but it’s strong. If it continues, that’s good, but if it gets better that will have a global impact.
6. Commodities prices will have a major impact on the mining industry and that has a major impact on capital expenditures.
7. If investment in North
American infrastructure continues on its projected course, it will have a major beneficial impact on the capital industry here in the U.S. and elsewhere.

we are a not able to see those opportunities, and we are not able to think creatively. But one of the things we will talk about in the session is to how we can reframe problems into challenges.
