Global supply chains receive boost from WTO Bali deal
After five days
of intense negotiation, the World Trade
Organisation Bali Ministerial Conference has ended in success. The so-called ‘Bali Package’, which consists of a selection of measures to reduce global trade barriers, was finally adopted and represents the first multilateral trade deal which the WTO has been able to broker for 12 years. The WTO commented that it hoped that, ‘…[the agreement] would reinvigorate the WTO and its trading system, and provide the momentum to conclude the Doha Round, which was launched in 2001 and has seen little progress since 2008.’

It also has provisions on goods in transit, an issue particularly of interest to landlocked countries seeking to trade through ports in neighbouring countries. The benefits to the world economy are calculated to be between $400bn and $1tr by reducing costs of trade by between 10 per cent and 15 per cent, increasing trade flows and revenue collection, creating a stable business environment and attracting foreign investment.

LOGISTICS Royal Mail first half operating profit doubles to US$461 million
THE UK’s Royal Mail,
which floated 60 per cent of its shares on the London Stock Exchange in October, says its operating profit almost doubled in the first half of the year to GBP283 million (US$461 million), compared to GBP144 million in the same period last year, driven by higher revenue at its parcels division. The operating profit was also boosted by a GBP95 million contribution from a tax credit and lower than expected restructuring costs. Revenue grew two per cent to GBP4.5 billion. General Logistics Systems, the pan-European parcels business, increased operating profit by 11 per cent to GBP53 million, and revenue jumped six per cent to GBP801 million, driven
by growth in all major markets. Volume also increased six per cent to 193 million items, with 70 per cent accounted for by deliveries in Germany, France and Italy. The company said the threat of strike action by unions to protest privatisation has seen business parcel customers switch to rivals in its key Christmas quarter. Mail deliveries declined six per cent from a year ago, and while parcel growth has stalled, the unit accounts for 51 per cent of group revenue. Source:royalmail.com

LOGISTICS China Cargo Airlines and Jan de Rijk Logistics are joining forces in intermodal transport
Jan de Rijk Logistics and China Cargo
Airlines have successfully managed to transport air cargo shipments by train instead of over the road. The dedicated Jan de Rijk train between Venlo, the Netherlands and Milan, Italy allows a fast transit time of 36 hours between Schiphol airport and Malpensa airport, including pick-up and delivery. Sebastiaan Scholte, CEO of Jan de Rijk Logistics comments: “China Cargo Airlines is currently the only airline making use of Jan de Rijk’s Intermodal solution. It is a cost effective and environmental friendlier service, as the CO2 emission by the train is significant lower compared to general trucking. The on time performance provided by the train service is more reliable due to less congestion, weather influences as well as fixed slot times on the train tracks. We pick up the cargo at Schiphol airport in the evening of day 1 and in the early morning of day 3 the cargo is delivered at Malpensa airport. This is basically not that much different from a regular road feeding service. We hope that more airlines will follow this example,
Scholte comments. China Cargo Airlines headquarters is based at Hongqiao Int. Airport, with its main hub at Shanghai Pudong Int. Airport. With 19 freighter aircrafts in its fleet, China Cargo Airlines operates to more than 20 airports in Europe, North America and Asia. On top of that, China Cargo Airlines sells the cargo belly capacity of its parent company China Eastern Airlines to over 200 destinations. On the 5th of June 2013 it became member of the SkyTeam Cargo Alliance. Jan de Rijk Logistics, based in the Netherlands, is a leading provider of transportation and distribution services, operating a large, modern and diversified fleet of 550 vehicles across Europe. The company also offers warehousing services and retail distribution. Jan de Rijk Logistics has 25 offices in 15 countries and employs more than 1,000 staff in Europe

LOGISTICS CEVA breaks ground for new multi-user warehouse in Malaysia
CEVA Logistics, one of the world’s leading global supply
chain management companies, today announced the expansion of its footprint in Malaysia following the ground breaking ceremony of its third distribution center in the country on 18 November. CEVA, with its partner Oryx Impressions Sdn Bhd has started construction of its new multi-user warehouse facility called CDC 2 (Central Distribution Center), next to the current facility CDC1 located in Bukit Jelutong, Shah Alam, a strategic industrial area with superb logistics infrastructure connected to a highly developed road network, an expanding rapid transit system and close to Malaysia’s main port in Klang. The new warehouse will provide warehousing space of over 33,000 sq m. The combined warehouse space of the new CDC2 and the current CDC1 will be approximately 67,000 sq m, making it the largest warehouse campus for CEVA in Malaysia. Having a large campus with two CDCs in one central location enables CEVA to optimize the deployment of resources and equipment more efficiently for its customers’ benefit. The new facility will strengthen CEVA’s capabilities to offer fully integrated logistics and supply chain solutions to customers in Malaysia. The new CDC2 will be a double story warehouse facility using a ramp up driveway for the vehicle to drive up the second floor to load and unload cargo, the first to be approved for warehousing in Malaysia. This design feature will maximize real estate for warehousing and storage space as well as enable a more efficient system for loading and unloading of cargos compared to the use of cargo lifts. The new warehouse will be designed to facilitate both ambient
and temperature controlled storage. The facility will be built with over 40 loading docks with special mazed roller shutters for maximizing air circulation while lowering energy utilization. The method of construction adopted will be to achieve a green and environmentally friendly building with a rain harvesting system and maximum natural lighting. In addition, the warehouse will have suspended flooring and be equipped with the most stringent security features for TAPAA certification which gives our customers the quality assurance of our security processes and systems in place. The new facility is expected to be ready in Q2, 2015. Vikash Agarwal, CEVA’s Managing Director for Malaysia said: “We are extremely excited to build a new multi user warehouse in Shah Alam, and together with CDC1, this location will become the biggest warehouse campus for CEVA in Malaysia. We are continuing to expand our footprint in Malaysia. This investment we are making highlights our commitment to meeting the increasing Contract Logistics and warehousing needs of our customers in Malaysia, and offer more innovative supply chain solutions for their business.” The ground breaking ceremony saw more than 80 of CEVA’s customers and business partners in attendance, in addition to CEVA’s regional executives, Elaine Low, EVP for Business Development, Asia Pacific and Troy Shortell, EVP for East Asia Source:cevalogistics.com

Crane Worldwide LogisticsCustomers Continue to Benefit from AEO Status Houston – January– Crane Worldwide Logis-
tics, a full-service air, ocean, trucking, customs brokerage and logistics company, continues its push for compliance excellence by providing benefits to customersby recently expanding its full Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) status in the Netherlands for the EMEA region. AEO status was implemented in January of 2008 under the Taxation and Customs Union of the European Commission. To receive AEO status a business must satisfy certain criteria. Once a company has met these criteria for multiple regions of the globe and has been granted AEO status in one member state it is then recognised across all member states. By being an AEO, Crane Worldwide is entitled to the benefit of customs simplifications/security and safety. Crane Worldwide benefits from both simplifications provided for under the customs rules and from facilitation of customs controls relating to security and safety. “As we continue to expand our corporate compliance offerings, receiving this additional AEO status is a great
achievement for our offices in the Netherlands,” said John Magee, Crane Worldwide’s President and CEO. “By being fully AEO recognised we are able to move our customers through customs more efficiently and effectively, continuing our tradition of providing high touch, high value and high service supply chain solutions.” Crane Worldwide Logistics has two offices in the Netherlands, Amsterdam and Tilburg.

LOGISTICS Volga-Dnepr’s ‘Cargo Supermarket’ Delivers a Total Logistics Solution for 51-ton Transporters to Khabarovsk
The delivery of two large self-pro-
pelled modular transporters from Netherlands to Khabarovsk, Russia, has highlighted to value to customers of Volga-Dnepr Group’s ‘cargo supermarket’ transport and logistics capability. To provide the most cost efficient, timely and simple delivery, Volga-Dnepr operated an air charter flight using one of its IL76TD-90VD freighters, the capacity onboard its Boeing 747 scheduled all-cargo services and the expertise of its Engineering & Logistics Centre (ELC). Volga-Dnepr completed the flights and logistics services on behalf of the Russian company SWTrans. The 51-tons of cargo consisted
18
of the two modular transporters measuring 8.7 metres long, 2.4 metres wide and 1.5 metres high, which are used for the transportation of heavy outsize loads, as well as their control station. One of the main challenges facing the Volga-Dnepr team was that the complete shipment could not travel on a single IL-76TD-90VD flight because of its size and weight. In addition, the transporters couldn’t be moved without the control station, making this critical to the loading and unloading procedures. Vladimir Vyshemirsky, Director of Volga-Dnepr’s Engineering and Logistics Centre, outlined the team’s solution, stating: “We decided the best way to help this customer was to use the

This ensured we reduced the customer’s costs while at the same time ensuring we had the control station available for both loading and unloading.”
“The transportation was performed professionally and with a high degree of responsibility. We are satisfied with the quality and variety of the services provided by Volga-Dnepr Group and the timely support of its specialists,” added a spokesman for SWTrans.

John Pearson, CEO, DHL Express Europe said: “Our European Hub in Leipzig is a critical part of our express infrastructure and one of three global hubs that form the backbone of the DHL network. Since we established operations here five years ago, it has been a driver behind DHL’s ability to help customers in Germany and other European markets who are trading internationally expand and grow. This investment will allow us to support our customers’ future growth requirements, while further strengthening both DHL’s service capabilities and our economic contribution to Leipzig and the surrounding region.” The facility will also incorporate green technologies Robert Viegers, Managing Director, DHL Leipzig Hub GmbH said: “DHL has delivered on the promises we made when we moved to Leipzig.

The result in combined transport has risen once again. Container handling by ship, rail and truck will likely grow by around 16 per cent to over 3 million TEU (2012: 2.6 million TEU), thus reaching a new high. “This impressive growth in the container sector shows that one can generate growth with integrated transport and logistics concepts, even when there are stagnating handling figures in the sea ports,” says Erich Staake, Chief Executive Officer of Duisburger Hafen AG.
handling point in the hinterland. “Acquiring new customers in contract logistics and the associated container volumes have been the main drivers of growth. In addition, by targeted development and new construction of terminal capacities we have created the conditions for further growth,” explains Erich Staake.
For example, the new CT terminal logport III starteddaily operations in spring 2013. Over 50 trains are already processed here per week. With seven handling tracks, two marshaling yards and two gantry cranes, the handling capacity on logport III will be increased to approximately 600,000 TEU on overall completion. By entering automotive With the new record results of 3 million TEU duisport is logistics, further container volumes have been acquired for the among the 50 largest container ports worldwide. Thus location. “With the CKD centers of Audi and duisport has asserted its position as the largest container Volkswagen, which are going into full operations next year, we are confident we will also be able to increase container handling further in 2014,” says Erich Staake. source: duisport.de

ICTSI brings heavy lift equipment to Tacloban
GmbH, which had an all-Filipino crew. SAL International Container Terminal Services, Inc. Heavylift generously provided the passage from Davao to Tacloban (ICTSI) has brought in a brand new mobile harbor crane (MHC) to the Port of Tacloban to augment the cargo handling equipment fleet brought in by the company over a week ago. The MHC, manufactured by Gottwald of Germany, is a key equipment in the loading and offloading of containers that also provides much needed capacity for project cargo up to 100 tons. It is one of two that have been delivered to Hijo International Port, an ICTSI subsidiary in Davao del Norte. ICTSI decided to send one to Tacloban to speed up port operations, in particular the delivery of relief supplies. With the MHC, ICTSI has deployed equipment worth over US$5 million to Tacloban. The MHC was delivered on board the MV Gloria, a vessel from Hamburg shipping firm, SAL-
free of charge. Stinis of Holland also donated two spreaders that would be used by the MHC. Despite the difficulty and risk of transporting the MHC from Davao to Tacloban because of the shallow drafts along the route and of Tacloban port itself, engineers from ICTSI, Gottwald and SAL worked round the clock to find solutions that would enable to give MV Gloria safe passage to Tacloban. Photo shows the MHC’s first lift, a forty foot container, at the Tacloban port. This is the first time in the port’s history that a proper container crane is in place. Source:ictsi.com

Operators announced for Port of Melbourne’s new automotive Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI) hub The Victorian Coalition Government’s $1.6
billion Port Capacity Project has appointed the first private sector operators for the new facilities being constructed at Melbourne’s Webb Dock. Minister for Ports David Hodgett announced the successful bidders for the Port’s new ‘on-dock’ pre-delivery inspection facilities, which will cater for Victoria’s automotive trade. “Overall this is a project of significance that protects Victoria’s economic future and secures the jobs of thousands of people across the State,” Mr Hodgett said. “The new pre-delivery inspection hub means that vehicles are prepared for delivery to dealers ‘on the dock’, right next to where they are unloaded off the ships. “Currently a small volume of pre-delivery services are carried out within the port precinct, but around one third of the cars handled at the port are trucked across the West Gate Bridge for pre-delivery servicing before being trucked back across the bridge for delivery to dealers. “This new facility consolidates the import-export service in one location, increasing efficiency and reducing unnecessary truck shuttles around our freeway network.” Last year the Port of Melbourne handled more than 356,000 vehicles, including around 80,000 locally made cars which were exported to markets around the globe, many to the Middle East. “Today we are announcing the successful bidders for Victoria’s new integrated pre-delivery inspection facility covering around 16 hectares,” Mr Hodgett said.
28
“The facilities will be built alongside the new world class automotive terminal and will give the state’s automotive import and export industries the capacity to double within the next decade and to further grow to handle more than a million cars by 2040. “Following an extensive competitive bidding process, the rights to operate the facility have been won by Patrick AutoCare and Prix Car. These two existing pre-delivery inspection operators account for almost 80 per cent of the State’s total pre-delivery inspection volume,” Mr Hodgett said. Patrick AutoCare will develop a 12 hectare site, while Prix Car will build a new 4 hectare facility, both of which are expected to be operational by mid-2015. “This new pre-delivery inspection hub is part of a $1.6 billion investment and is being delivered without tax payer funding. The Port Capacity Project will help ensure Victoria remains the freight and logistics capital of Australia into the future,” Mr Hodgett said. The new pre-delivery inspection facility brings around 170 jobs to the port and this number is expected to grow as volumes increase. Overall, the Port Capacity Project will create 1,100 direct jobs and an additional 1,900 indirect jobs. The operator for the new automotive terminal adjoining the pre-delivery inspection hub is expected to be announced in mid-2014. source: vic.gov / portcapacity.portofmelbourne.com

Cathay
The new Cathay Pacific Cargo Terminal
Pacific Services Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Cathay Pacific Airways, is one of several companies betting on a sharp increase in air freight in coming years. The company spent HK$5.9 billion ($760 million) in 2013 to build a new cargo terminal at Hong Kong International Airport. It now has the capacity to deal with 2.6 million tons of goods annually, taking the total annual freight capacity at Hong Kong International Airport to 7.4 million tons. The new terminal is the third cargo transfer center in the airport, after Hong Kong Air Cargo Terminals Ltd and Asia Airfreight Terminal. It represents Cathay’s aim to meet the increasing competition in the air freight market in Hong Kong. “The new cargo service center will improve our work efficiency through shortening the time for transfer services - including cargo receipt and warehousing arrangements - from eight hours to five hours,” Algernon Yau, CEO of Cathay Pacific Services Ltd, said in a group interview in Hong Kong in late 2013. It has been standard practice in Hong Kong “for many years” for goods transfer to take roughly eight hours, Yau said. “Frankly speaking, it is hard to shorten it even by one hour, because it involves cooperation between different areas,” Yau noted. “The shortened time is a big challenge for us, but it will help to improve our efficiency.”
According to Yau, the cargo freight business in Hong Kong will see a significant increase after the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge is finished in 2016 and Hong Kong International Airport’s third runway is completed in 2023. There will be more opportunities to transfer goods from the Chinese mainland to Hong Kong and then to other countries and regions, he said. A report by Xinhua News Agency in December said that cargo freight in Hong Kong International Airport reached 3.7 million tons in the first 11 months of 2013, a rise of 2.6 percent year-on-year. In November alone, the cargo freight reached a record high of 399,000 tons. The report also cited Stanley Hui, CEO of Airport Authority Hong Kong, as saying that companies’ expansion and more frequent flights will help sustain a continued increase in cargo freight. Meanwhile, the authorities in Guangzhou, South China’s Guangdong Province are planning to build a business zone based on expansion of Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport. The airport is expected to have annual cargo transfer capacity of 2.5 million tons by 2020, which will pose a threat to the cargo transfer business in Hong Kong. “There will be competition, but our advantage is the laws and customs services [in Hong Kong], which will help us win more cargo business,” Yau said.

SEA TRANSPORT Memorandum of Understanding Signed for MOBILE POWERSHIP
Polaris Shipping Co., Ltd.,
Korea Midland Power Co., Ltd., Hyundai Heavy Industries Co., Ltd., and Siemens Energy Solutions Ltd. signed a Memorandum of Understanding at COEX Intercontinental Hotel in Seoul on December 10, 2013 to develop MOBILE POWERSHIP, an integration of shipbuilding and power generating technology in which a highly efficient power generating facility will be installed onto a FSRU (Floating Storage Regasification Unit) for the very first time in the world.
It is expected that MOBILE POWERSHIP will commence its operation in December 2017 with total investment of U$ 940 Million. When compared to building a power plant on land, the model
30
will substantially reduce civil complaints as it will not require a large scale land. In addition, due to systemized and skillful shipbuilding process, overall construction period will be shortened. In terms of power transmission, MOBILE POWERSHIP will utilize existing cables so that sections subject to new installation will be minimized, which leads to significant cost saving. Once the business model is successfully launched in Korea, it is anticipated to move overseas to selectively target combined cycle power producing market where high yields can be generated.
“MOBILE POWERSHIP is the world’s first invention to integrate a combined cycle power generating

facility and liquefied gas storage in which a gas turbine and a regasification unit are directly linked to achieve curtailment of fuel cost. Hence, we are of a view that it can be a smart solution to surging demand for electricity in and out of Korea and a successful business model for the Creative Economy.” commented by spokesperson from Korea Midland Power Co., Ltd.
“This Powership integrates the LNG FSRU, the model first designed and built by Hyundai, with the top-of-the-line combined cycle unit in the capacity of 880 MW, which will give birth to an innovative naval architecture through combination of shipbuilding and plant engineering. We plan to target overseas newbuilding market upon successful launch of the project.” commented by Hyundai Heavy Industries. “Siemens is delighted to participate in the Powership project based on an innovative business model to share our technical expertise and competitiveness which we have built in the global power producing market. Furthermore, synergy between Siemens’ engineering knowhow and Hyundai Heavy Industries’ world class shipbuilding technology will create a s tate-of-the-art offshore combined cycle power plant.” stated by Dr. Rochus Bergmann, CEO of Siemens .
“MOBILE POWERSHIP is a mobile power plant with a capacity to promptly manage natural disasters such as earthquake and flood. As the world’s no.1 VLOC (Very Large Ore Carrier) owner in shipping industry, we are willing to bring in our best effort based on experiences in new ship design and trust we have earned from highly valued clients” spokesperson from Polaris Shipping mentioned. 4 concerned parties including Korea Midland Power will launch a Task Force Team after signing the Memorandum of Understanding to closely examine technical issues which will be reflected in the engineering of Powership. It is said that once performance of the Powership is ascertained through pilot project in Korea, then it will be exported to Philippines, Indonesia, Brazil, and other countries where power shortage has become a critical issue. In addition, it is anticipated that the project will firmly position itself as a business model well-suited for South Korean policies under the “Creative Economy” by generating approximately $2 billion per project.

Wärtsilä to supply complete dual-fuel propulsion and LNG equipment for new German ferry In addition to the propulsion machinery, Wärtsilä will also supply its LNGPac fuel bunkering and supply system with related safety and automation systems. The scope of supply also includes Wärtsilä’s patented Cold Recovery System, which utilises the latent heat of LNG in the ship’s air conditioning systems, thus reducing the amount of electricity consumed in cooling compressors. This provides significant operational savings and an increase in overall vessel efficiency, while adding to the environmental benefits of the Wärtsilä solution.
Wärtsilä, the marine industry’s leading solutions
and services provider, will provide a full propulsion package for a new passenger ferry being built for the Germany based Reederei Cassen Eils GmbH. The contract was signed in October 2013 with Fr. Fassmer GmbH, the shipyard responsible for the vessel’s construction. The new ferry will operate between Cuxhaven and the island of Helgoland in Germany. This route will take it close to the Lower Saxon Wadden Sea national park, an ecologically sensitive UNESCO World Heritage listed area in the south-eastern part of the North Sea. Because of the need to minimize exhaust gas emissions in this area, the ferry will operate primarily on liquefied natural gas (LNG) using two 9-cylinder Wärtsilä 20DF medium-speed dual-fuel engines. The selected engines are the latest generation of the Wärtsilä 20DF series. They offer an increased output of five per cent and a reduction of seven per cent in fuel consumption in gas mode, compared to earlier versions of the engine.
“As the vessel must fulfil the IMO regulations regarding SOx and NOx emissions in the North Sea’s Emissions Control Area, its operations need to be ecologically friendly with the lowest possible emissions. At the same time, perfect manoeuvrability and reliability are most important. Thanks to Wärtsilä’s dual-fuel technology with its built-in redundancy, the vessel can operate very efficiently and without restrictions in the emissions regulated areas. Furthermore it was very important for us to select a reliable and experienced partner. We already know Wärtsilä’s capabilities as the company retrofitted our MS “Ostfriesland”, delivering a full propulsion package with a minimum of interfaces,” says Dr Bernhard Brons, Chairman of AG EMS the parent company of Reederei Cassen Eils. “The overriding priorities set by the owners for this new ferry were environmental performance, energy efficiency, and the reliability of the propulsion machinery since the ferry will be in daily service. Wärtsilä’s strong reference list clearly demonstrates our capabilities in all these areas,” says Matthias Becker, General Manager Sales, Wärtsilä Ship Power. The vessel is scheduled to be delivered and ready for service during the first half of 2015. In April of this year, Wärtsilä was also contracted to retrofit the ‘ Ostfriesland’, a ferry operating in the same environmentally sensitive waters, for LNG fuel use. source: wartsila.com

22 Fuso Canter Eco Hybrids for Deret Transport Deret Transport, one of France’s largest logistics
companies, has recently opted for the Fuso Canter Eco Hybrid. The Deret Group is among the pioneers of electric mobility in France and now has one of the largest hybrid fleets in Europe, comprising 22 Canter Eco Hybrids. The Canter is the flagship model of Daimler subsidiary Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation (MFTBC) and is a popular choice of light-duty truck among customers in over 150 countries. According to Deret spokesperson Jean-Luc Fournier, initial trips with the hybrid fleet have revealed a 25 percent reduction in fuel consumption compared with trucks with conventional engines. Eric Experton, Fuso Sales Manager at Mercedes-Benz France, described the decision by logistics service provider Deret Group - a pioneer of electric mobility - to opt for the diesel-electricpowered Canter Eco Hybrid as a major success for Fuso and Daimler Trucks. According to Fournier, crucial factors in favour of the Canter were “the load capacity of over three tonnes and the parallel hybrid, which permits the vehicle to move off quietly in electric mode”.

The Deret Group currently has a turnover of 170 million with a workforce of 1700, and is the largest employer in Orleans. Deret carries out all kinds of transportation tasks and is also very well known in Africa and Asia. Frédéric Deret founded the Deret Group as a haulage company in 1947. Electric vans and hybrid trucks to protect air quality In order to maintain a decent quality of life and a semblance of traffic flow on the permanently congested boulevards, the embankments along the Seine and in the lanes around Montmartre, for example, Paris - like all major cities - has imposed increasingly stringent environmental regulations. For city logistics, Deret uses a depot at the docks in the Paris suburb of Genneviller. The pallets with the goods for delivery in the morning are delivered here at night by truck from Deret’s central depot near Orleans and prepared according to the scheduled routes. In the interests of the environment, Paris has introduced even more s tringent regulations, however. Diesel vehicles are only allowed to enter the city between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. During the day, only trucks with gas engines and with exhaust systems complying with the Euro VI standard or higher are permitted.

Twerenbold Reisen AG has placed an order
with VDL Bus & Coach for 13 Futuras FHD2. This Swiss coach operator from Baden-Rütihof has been a loyal VDL customer for decades. “We are very proud of the fact that Twerenbold has once again chosen VDL. This is a sign of the confidence Twerenbold has in us. Not only in our products, but also in the VDL organization”, said Bernard Donzé, director of VDL Bus & Coach (Suisse). Karim Twerenbold, member of the board of directors of Twerenbold Reisen AG: “The fuel-efficient powertrain, low net weight and service-friendliness of the VDL Futura are all beneficial from an operating cost standpoint and therefore contribute positively to our bottom line. The attractive design and spacious interior with the full flat floor are a perfect fit for our comfort requirements. For us, going with VDL again was the logical choice.” The new Futuras for Twerenbold will be delivered in the spring of 2014. Comfort Class and King’s Class The total order consists of 4 Futuras fitted out in the King’s Class and 9 Futuras in the Comfort Class. With the King’s Class, which Twerenbold developed itself, the company sets the standard for coach travel in Switzerland.

Clean and safe The complete order for Twerenbold will be delivered with the new VDL Euro 6 powertrain that combines clean exhaust gas emissions with flexibility and a low noise level. From the Euro 6 generation of DAF engines Twerenbold has chosen the MX-11 320 engine with a 10.8 litre displacement, 320 kW (440 hp) power output and 2100 Nm peak torque. Accompanied by the ZF AS-Tronic gearbox, ride comfort and low fuel c onsumption are further optimized.

Daimler Trucks and Wings of Help team up to provide humanitarian aid: “Wings on Wheels Combating the Cold”: Second humanitarian aid convoy consisting of eight Mercedes-Benz Actros trucks brings urgently needed relief to Syrian refugees
With the help of donations from Daimler employees, the second humanitarian aid convoy left the Mercedes-Benz plant in Untertürkheim today to carry supplies to Syrian refugees in Gaziantep in southern Turkey. Daimler Trucks and Wings of Help teamed up to send six Mercedes-Benz Actros trucks full of urgently needed relief supplies, including medicines and winter clothing, from Stuttgart to the refugees. In Adana, Turkey, the convoy will be joined by two more trucks carrying food and tents. The supplies are worth around €2 million in total. Gaziantep, which is located near the Syrian border, houses the logistics center from which the humanitarian aid will be distributed to the refugee camps. At the center, the relief supplies will be handed over to the Turkish Red Crescent (Kizilay) and the International Medical Corps, which will then distribute them to the refugees. The Daimler employees’ response to the first convoy in September was outstanding. The company gladly acceded to the employees’ request for a second convoy and their wish to do something themselves. In a campaign titled “Wings on Wheels — Combating the Cold,” Daimler asked its employees to donate money for the relief convoy until December 6. The employees donated more than €50,000. Daimler then doubled this sum to over €100,000. In the first convoy, 11 MercedesBenz trucks transported relief supplies worth €4 million along the nearly 4,000-km-long land route to the Turkish-Syrian border. The second convoy was sent on its six-day journey today by Dr. Wolfgang Bernhard, Member of the Board of Management, Head of Daimler Trucks and Buses; Frank Franke, President of Wings of Help; and Michael Brecht, Deputy Chairman of the General Works Council and member of the Daimler Supervisory Board. “The refugees are suffering greatly, especially at this time of year,” said Dr. Wolfgang Bernhard at the sendoff of the “Wings on Wheels — Combating the Cold” convoy. “Millions of Syrians have fled their homes and hundreds of thousands of them have found refuge in Turkey. Half of the refugees are minors, most of them under the age of 12. Many children are traumatized or in bad health as a result of the war. That’s why we want to provide concrete help with our convoy and give the people hope. We have a strong public presence in Turkey through Mercedes-Benz Türk and our production locations in Istanbul and Aksaray. We consider it our duty to help our Turkish friends in this difficult situation.” Michael Brecht added, “Two of the six Actros trucks are carrying three Sprinter ambulances, while the four other trucks are

transporting winter clothing and urgently needed medicines. The convoy will be joined in Turkey by two trucks carrying food and winter-proof tents for families. The relief supplies were largely funded by donations from Daimler employees. I would like to thank all of the colleagues whose donations or practical assistance are helping to reduce the suffering and distress in the Syrian refugee camps. Such expressions of humanity and solidarity are desperately needed in view of the refugees’ difficult situation.” “The civil war in Syria is becoming more and more horrifying. Around 2.2 million Syrians have fled to neighboring countries to date. That’s why we’re glad that we were able to cooperate with Daimler AG and its employees to put together another convoy at this harsh time of the year,” says Frank Franke, President of Wings of Help, about the situation that the Syrian refugees are facing. A total of 200 tons of relief supplies, tents for about 1,600 refugees, and winter clothing and medicines that will help more than 50,000 needy people were sent on their way today. The beginning of winter was an important factor in all of the planning activities. One of the refugee camps along the Turkish-Syrian border is located at an altitude of 700 meters, where temperatures often drop below freezing at night and snow can be expected to fall. Wings of Help, which is based at Frankfurt Airport, has been providing immediate disaster relief worldwide for the past ten years. The organization uses aircraft to transport urgently needed relief supplies to people in greatest need. Wings of Help receives support from the airport’s operator and airlines. The vehicles that were sent off today are new, Euro VI-compliant Mercedes-Benz Actros semitrailer trucks. The 18-ton trucks have 2.5-meter-wide StreamSpace cabs. They are equipped with the automated Mercedes PowerShift 3 transmission as standard, as well as with the assistance and safety systems Active Brake Assist and Attention Assist. In addition, the trucks feature Predictive Powertrain Control, which is integrated into the automated transmission so that driving can be adapted to the topography. The Mercedes-Benz Actros is powered by the current OM 471 BlueEfficiency Power engine, which has an output of 310 kW (421 hp). The truck consumes up to five percent less fuel than its predecessor, which had a Euro V-compliant engine. The new Actros’ extremely low total cost of ownership is also the result of specially coordinated and closely interlinked services such as the standard-fitted telematics system FleetBoard. With sales of around 800,000 vehicles since its launch in 1996, the Mercedes-Benz Actros is the world’s most successful heavy-duty truck. The convoy is also accompanied by two Mercedes-Benz Viano Marco Polo vehicles. source: daimler.com

Wuhan: Detroit of the East gives green light to Renault Renault SA (RENA.PA) clinched full access to
China’s auto market on Monday by sealing a joint venture agreement with state-owned Dongfeng Motor Group (0489.HK) in Wuhan, a city fast shaping up as China’s own Detroit. Nine years after the two companies first announced plans for the joint venture, they finally inked a $1.3 billion 50-50 partnership to introduce the French carmaker’s own locally assembled models in the world’s biggest auto market. The deal allows Renault to fully tap demand in China, something it has been unable to do until now because of the lack of a strong local partner. China’s central government requires all foreign automakers to have a local partner to be allowed to produce cars in the country. To build a Chinese presence, Renault has been forced to rely on imports from South Korea. Now with Dongfeng, it will invest 7.76 billion yuan ($1.28 billion) to build a factory in the central city of Wuhan, with the first car due to roll off the production line in 2016.

Renault, which has a long-standing alliance with Japan’s Nissan Motor Co (7201.T) with whom it shares technology, plans to manufacture 150,000 cars a year in Wuhan and set up a jointly run network of retail stores. The carmaker’s investment is a boon to Wuhan, located about 700 km (430 miles) west of Shanghai and where the Yangtze and Han rivers intersect. The city, with a population of 17 million including its surrounding suburbs, is home to Dongfeng, China’s second-biggest automaker. The Wuhan government is aiming to transform itself into a major automotive manufacturing and a logistics hub in China by attracting global automakers and their Chinese partners to open shop, which some say has turned the city into a dust-ball due to the frenzied construction activity. Thanks to its central position and its rail, road and waterway networks it is better-positioned than other cities to become China’s Detroit - minus the bankruptcy, said Peng Zhimin, a regional economics researcher at the Hubei office of Chinese

Academy of Social Sciences who advises the provincial government. Peng sees Wuhan as a combination of Detroit, home of the U.S. auto industry, and Chicago, North America’s transportation hub. “Wuhan has a reputation of being the Oriental Chicago. The city’s developed transportation and logistics systems give it an advantage,” Peng said. “We can easily deliver vehicles and auto components via the Yangtze River to consumers in Shanghai, for example.” BIG PLANS FOR WUHAN In addition to Renault, Wuhan is also home to the headquarters of Dongfeng’s joint ventures with Nissan, Honda Motor Co.(7267.T) and PSA Peugeot Citroen. Honda, Dongfeng and Peugeot also assemble cars in or around Wuhan. The city, which currently has the capacity to produce roughly 1 million vehicles a year, is aiming to boost that to 3 million by 2016. Much of that planned capacity boost will come from Renault’s joint venture with Dongfeng and other global automakers such as Peugeot, which is close to getting a sizeable capital injection from Dongfeng. The French carmaker’s venture will also benefit Nissan, which has been operating in China in a joint venture with Dongfeng since the early 2000s. Japan’s second-biggest carmaker has two manufacturing centers within a 470-km radius of Wuhan in the cities of Zhengzhou and Xiangyang. “Between Renault and Nissan in this three-city triangle of auto-manufacturing operations, we plan to use commonized vehicle underpinnings and major parts,” a senior Nissan executive in Yokohama said. He declined to be identified because he is not allowed to speak to the media.
“That allows us to make huge cost savings and our scale would allow us to bring competitive parts suppliers to this region.” RIVAL AUTO CITIES Wuhan has already successfully attracted General Motors Co (GM.N) and its Chinese partner SAIC Motor Group (600104.SS). Earlier this year, the companies started building an assembly plant in the city capable of producing 300,000 cars a year when production starts in 2015. They are also building an engine plant. Wuhan government officials say GM’s long-term blueprint for its Wuhan assembly plant includes an option of adding another assembly line to double its overall annual capacity to 600,000 cars. “I am a pretty seasoned manufacturing guy, right? I’ve never seen anything like this before,” GM China Chairman Tim Lee, who has overseen GM’s manufacturing operations around the world throughout his career, said earlier this year in an interview, referring to the booming auto towns in China including Wuhan. Other cities, such as Chengdu and Shenyang, are also competing to become auto hubs. That worries China’s industrial policymakers, as well as industry insiders and experts, over the possibility of a glut in auto manufacturing capacity. “It’s a big cause for concern,” said Peng, of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. “Too many cities are competing to become auto capitals.” ($1 = 6.0712 Chinese yuan) (Editing by Kazunori Takada and Jeremy Laurence)/By Norihiko Shirouzu and Samuel Shen Source :reuters.com

Joint venture partners Dongfeng and Schmitz Cargobull lay the foundation stone at groundbreaking ceremony Horstmar/Wuhan,
Construction of the new trailer plant in Wuhan, China, commences: The construction work begins almost exactly a year after Schmitz Cargobull AG and Chinese commercial vehicle manufacturer Dongfeng Motor Group signed a joint venture contract. The first semi-trailers for the Chinese market will roll off the assembly line in the city with 11 million inhabitants in the second half of 2014. The joint venture company will invest more than 100 million Euros in the production facility in Wuhan over a period of five years. On Friday, 29th November 2013, managers from Dongfeng and Schmitz Cargobull laid the foundation stone at a groundbreaking ceremony held on the site of the about-to-be-built new trailer plant. The municipal city of Wuhan, represented by Mr. Zhu Yi (Member, standing committee of Wuhan municipal committee of CPC, secretary of the working committee of Wuhan Economic and technological development zone), Mr. Shao Weimin, Deputy Mayor; the management, represented by Mr. Zhu Fushou (General Manager, vice Secretary of DFM Party Committee) and Mr. Tong Dongcheng (DFM non-executive director), along with Schmitz Cargobull board members, Andreas Schmitz (also CEO of joint venture) and Mr. Ulrich Schöpker, have attended the groundbreaking ceremony. Mr. Gary Huang, chairman of the board of directors of the joint venture,

hosted the ceremony. A 30,000 m2 production facility will be built on the 150,000 m2 site. The state-of-the-art plant, with an annual production capacity of up to 40,000 semi-trailers, is an important step for Schmitz Cargobull’s expansion in China and Asia. 2,500 trailers are planned for the first year. The annual production shall increase to 20,000 semi-trailers over the course of the next three years. Schmitz Cargobull has already developed a trailer for the Chinese market, which has undergone extensive testing at the Cargobull Validation Center and other locations. “The use on unsealed roads is a day-to-day occurrence in China. Despite the regulations, overloading is a common occurrence. That is why the trailers have to be especially robust,” explains Andreas Schmitz, member of the board of Schmitz Cargobull AG and CEO of the joint venture. Through laying the foundation stone together with leaders of the City of Wuhan, top management from DFM and related parties, the company intends to signal a spirit of a joint endeavor. “The close cooperation and open attitude of the governmental authorities and industry have made it possible to complete the planning and preparatory work for the new production facility very quickly after signing the contract on 16th November 2012,” says Andreas Schmitz. Mr. Tong Dongcheng offered his congratulations on the kickoff of the construction. He says that partnering with Schmitz Cargobull is one of several significant steps that DFM has been taken to tap deeper into the

ACI and IATA Collaborate to Deliver Smart Security learned from the component tests conducted over the last two years. It forms the foundation for us to move confidently into the next phase of the development. The MoU with ACI on Smart Security will deliver synergies by drawing on the collective expertise and knowledge that both organizations have built over the years,” said Tony Tyler, IATA’s Director General and CEO.
Geneva/Montreal – Airports Council International
(ACI) and the International Air Transport Association (IATA) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) jointly to develop Smart Security (SmartS). With the MoU, ACI and IATA can better align their resources and expertise to improve the journey from curb to boarding. Passengers will be able to proceed through security checkpoints with minimal inconvenience, security resources are allocated based on risk, and airport facilities are optimized. SmartS replaces the Checkpoint of the Future. The name change reflects the start of a new phase of pilot testing involving first generation checkpoints. Since 2012, components of the Checkpoint have been tested individually. Under SmartS, several components will be tested together to see how they interact with one another in an operational environment. The renaming to Smart Security also signals the stronger ACI-IATA collaboration together with the strong participation of governments and other key industry stakeholders. “Smart Security is the way forward. A lot has been
“A touch point in the passenger journey that triggers a sense of dread is the security check. Through Smart Security, ACI and IATA will drive the needed change. Airports, airlines, control authorities and system suppliers all have a role to play in making the process more effective, efficient and pleasant for the passenger. Smart Security brings these stakeholders together with the shared goal of transforming the security checkpoint for the benefit of all the traveling public,” said Angela Gittens, Director General, ACI World. The Checkpoint of the Future was launched in 2010. In 2012, IATA and ACI, together with several national regulators defined a roadmap for the future of passenger screening with blueprints for 2014, 2017 and 2020. The blueprints detailed proposals that are operationally achievable and technically feasible by that timeframe. This roadmap was adopted by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) High Level Conference on Aviation Security in September 2012. Between 2012 and 2013, tests were conducted of the individual components in airports to assess how they would work in an operational environment, including Geneva Airport, London Heathrow, London Gatwick and Amsterdam Schiphol. From 2014, SmartS pilots will be conducted at airports to test multiple components working and interacting together. These airports include Amsterdam Schiphol and London Heathrow, and with the support and participation of their respective regulators and home carriers. The focus for 2014 is on optimizing the security screening resources and asset utilization, integrating innovative technology and repurposing existing equipment, and implementing new procedures to facilitate risk-based screening and decision making.

Volvo Construction Equipment set to acquire hauler business from Terex In a move that will improve the company’s penetration
in the core earthmoving segment and extend its presence in light mining, Volvo Construction Equipment has agreed to acquire
the off-highway hauler business of the Terex Corporation for a purchase consideration of approx. USD 160 M (approx. SEK 1 billion) on a cash and debt free basis. Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) has announced that it has agreed with the Terex Corporation to acquire the hauler manufacturer Terex Equipment Ltd, including related assets and intellectual property. The deal, which is subject to regulatory approval, includes the main production facility in Motherwell, Scotland and two product ranges that offer both rigid and articulated haulers. It also includes the distribution of haulers in the U.S. as well as a 25.2% holding in Inner Mongolia North Hauler Joint Stock Co (NHL), which manufactures and sells rigid haulers under the Terex brand in China. NHL is listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange. Commenting on the rationale of the deal Volvo CE’s president, Pat Olney said: “This is a strategic acquisition that offers Volvo CE considerable scope for growth. The addition of a well-respected range of rigid haulers extends the earthmoving options for customers involved in light mining applications.” In 2012, the businesses in the acquisition (excluding NHL) had net sales of approximately USD 370 M (approx. SEK 2.5 billion) and an operating income of approximately USD 33 M (approx. SEK 220 M). In the first nine months of 2013 net sales amounted to approximately USD 172 M (approx. SEK 1.1 billion) and operating income was approximately USD 5.5 M (approx. SEK 35 M). The holding in NHL will likely be accounted for using the equity method
56
in accordance with IAS 28 (one-line consolidation). The purchase consideration amounts to approx. USD 160 M (approx. SEK 1 billion) on a cash and debt free basis. The acquisition will increase the Volvo Group Industrial Operation’s net financial debt by SEK 1billion. The acquisition includes five models of rigid haulers, with proven designs and payloads ranging from 32 to 91 tons. The introduction of rigid haulers will extend Volvo CE’s position in light mining; an industry area that is complementary to general construction, oil & gas, aggregates & quarrying and road building – segments that Volvo CE is already active in. The deal also sees a further three models of articulated hauler added to the Volvo portfolio, with payloads ranging from 25 to 38 tons. These machines support Volvo CE’s already established position in the articulated hauler segment, offer an extensive field population and opportunities for considerable growth in emerging economies. If approved, the acquisition adds some 500 employees to Volvo CE’s existing workforce. It also allows for the continued use of the Terex brand name on the relevant machines for a transitional period. The transaction is expected to be finalized during the second
quarter of 2014. For implementation, approval is required from relevant authorities. source: volvoce.com

HEAVY Hiab wins an order to supply 200 loader cranes to Chausson Matériaux in France
Hiab , part of Cargotec, has won a contract to supply 200 loader cranes to Chausson Matériaux, one of France’s largest
delivery vehicles to transport the maximum load size possible, and reduces costs when scheduling deliveries to customers.
independent buildings materials suppliers, based in Toulouse in the south of France.
“Chausson Matériaux has very specific requirements from their delivery vehicles, so we have created specialised solutions just for them,” said Thibaut Serignac, Managing Director of Carrosserie Serignac. “Our long relationship with our customer means that we have a detailed knowledge of their needs, so we can provide a seamless support service to them.”
Hiab will supply five medium-capacity models from its XS range. All will be provided with the HiPro operating system and Combidrive remote control. The HiPro operating system enables the crane to carry out up to seven functions at once, with speed, accuracy, precision, and a predictable operational function every time, allowing for fast, safe unloading. The cranes will be delivered during 2014 and early 2015. The order is to enable Chausson Matériaux to equip its 80 recently acquired new dealers with Hiab equipment, and to upgrade existing Hiab equipment throughout its 320-strong dealer network. Chausson Matériaux currently operates a fleet of 400 Hiab cranes, which will increase to 550 with the delivery of this order. “As a company, we deliver premium quality building products on a just-in-time basis to our customers. We therefore need reliable, high quality equipment to achieve this, backed up by a no-quibble, fast maintenance service,” said Pierre-Georges Chausson, Managing Director of Chausson Matériaux. Carrosserie Serignac, Hiab’s dealer in Toulouse, has had a business partnership with Chausson Matériaux for 60 years, with Chausson Matériaux working exclusively with them since 1955. Carrosserie Serignac has developed a bespoke solution for Chausson Matériaux, whereby they equip their delivery trucks with a strengthened sub-frame and lightweight bodywork, allowing the trucks to increase their payload by up to 250kg. This enables
The Combidrive remote control function, which Chausson Matériaux specifies as standard, allows the driver to position himself close to the cargo and unload it with precision and accuracy. Because cargo is routinely lifted up to 15 metres, and often with a long outreach, Combidrive enables the driver to work with much greater control. It has no delay, so he feels in touch with the crane; and a soft movement, allowing him to operate it with confidence and safety. Hiab’s network of 20 dealers and 70 service centres across France means that trained technicians can carry out routine service and repair work locally. This facility is imperative to Chausson Matériaux, to enable its own nationwide network of dealers to offer an efficient service to its customers. Crane downtime is reduced to a minimum, whilst reliability and safety is upheld. Hiab’s Vice President for Market Area West Europe, Thierry Aubry, said: “We are very proud of being Chausson Matériaux’s preferred supplier. They are constantly growing and are a key player in the French materials distribution industry. Our focus is to fully support Chausson Matériaux in the management of their fleet to ensure the smooth operation of their deliveries on a daily basis.” source: cargotec.com

Sidem, as EPC consortium partner, will construct a 107 MIGD (486,000m3/ day) desalination water plant on a turnkey basis. The capacity of Az-Zour North will account for around 10% of Kuwait’s installed power generation capacity and around 20% of its installed desalination capacity. The consortium will complete the project approximately 100 km south of Kuwait City in the fourth quarter of 2016. Kuwait’s Ministry of Electricity and Water (MEW) will be the off-taker of power and water produced from the project under a 40?year long?term Energy Conversion and Water Purchase Agreement (ECWPA). The project is the first independent water and power project in Kuwait developed as part of long-term expansion plans of the power and water production capacity in Kuwait and a pathfinder scheme for Kuwait’s public-private partnership (PPP) programme.

As EPC partners, HHI and Sidem have been participating in the development process together with the consortium formed by GDF SUEZ, Sumitomo Corporation and Abudlah Hamad Al Sagar & Brothers, since March 2011. Competition among developers from Europe, Japan, Korea and the Middle East was tough. A positive evaluation of HHI by the Kuwaiti Ministry might have benefited the award as HHI handed over Kuwait’s previous Sabiya Combined Cycle Power Plant far earlier than the required schedule, which enabled MEW to meet the challenging electricity demand during the summer peak load period of 2011. Mr. Chun In-soo, COO of HHI’s Industrial Plant & Engineering Division said, “HHI, GDF SUEZ, and Sidem have worked together on a wide range of projects in the Middle East. The synergy of our alliance will ensure this project is completed in time and on budget.” Buoyed by continued high oil revenues and rapid growth of the economy and the population, it is expected that large water and power projects will be steadfastly developed in the Middle East. Thanks to the success in the first IWPP in Kuwait, HHI would be in good position in the successive bid of Az-Zour North IWPP phase 2. Source : hhi.co.kr

India fifth largest exporter of illicit funds: Report
India was the fifth largest exporter of illicit capital over a decade as crime, corruption, and tax evasion drained over $5.9 trillion from developing countries between 2002 and 2011, according to a new study. Ahead of India with an average annual outflow of $34.39 billion were China ($107.56 billion), Russia ($88.10 billion), Mexico ($46.19 billion) and Malaysia ($37.04 billion), according to the study published Thursday by Global Financial Integrity (GFI). In 2011 alone, such outflows drained $946.7 billion from the developing world, up more than 13.7 percent from 2010, when illicit financial outflows totalled $832.4 billion, said the Washington DC-based research and advocacy organisation. It also marked a dramatic increase from 2002, when illicit outflows totalled just $270.3 billion. GFI also found that India, with $84.93 billion, was the third top exporter of illegal capital in 2011 behind Russia with $191.14 billion and China with $151.35 billion. “As the world economy sputters along in the wake of the global financial crisis, the illicit underworld is thriving-siphoning more and more money from developing countries each year,” said GFI president Raymond Baker.
“This study should serve as a wake-up call to world leaders: the time to act is now.” The study is authored by GFI Chief Economist Dev Kar and GFI Junior Economist Brian LeBlanc. “It’s extremely troubling to note just how fast illicit flows are growing,” stated Kar. “Over the past decade, illicit outflows from developing countries increased by 10.2 percent each year in real terms-significantly outpacing GDP growth,” he said. “This underscores the urgency with which policymakers should address illicit financial flows.” “Significant progress has been made on automatic exchange of tax information over the past year, with the G20 economies agreeing to exchange tax information between themselves by the end of 2015,” said Raymond Baker. “That said, this study underscores how important it is to quickly extend automatic tax information exchange to non-G20 developing countries,” he added.

Jakarta to Offer Free Bus Tours of Capital’s Historic Sites Jakarta may feature a rich colonial history, but the
capital’s congestion and pollution, combined with poor maintenance of its museums and historical sites has done little to help its appeal to foreign tourists. The popular guidebook company “Lonely Planet” describes the capital as “a hard city to love. One of the world’s greatest megalopolises, its grey, relentlessly urban sprawl spreads for tens of kilometers across a flood-prone plain with barely a park to break the concrete monotony.” The guidebook later lists several sites, including Kota Tua and Taman Ismail Marzuki, as popular locations, calling the city an “essential” stop for travelers looking to experience all Indonesia has to offer. The Jakarta Tourism Agency welcomed the arrival of five double-decker tour buses Monday night as the capital, long listed as a sight best left unseen on a visit to Indonesia, began an aggressive push to double the number of foreign tourists visiting the city. “We thank God that Jakarta will finally have city tour buses,” tourism head Arie Budhiman said as the buses arrived at Tanjung Priok port in North Jakarta. “We hope with the double-decker tour buses that Jakarta will have a different thing to offer than other towns [in Indonesia]. Hopefully Jakarta will become more attractive and draw more visitors.” Jakarta logged 2.3 million foreign tourists last year, an 8 percent increase over 2012′s figures, but still short of Governor Joko Widodo’s five-million tourist goal. The capital’s administration spent Rp 17 billion ($1.4 million) to purchase the fleet of buses from China. It plans to expand the fleet to include as many as 20
62
buses in the near future. “With the support of the governor, who is very tourism conscious, I’m optimistic that the target [of five million visitors] can be reached in three to five years,” Arie said. The tour buses will offer visitors a free ride through the capital, stopping at sights like the Hotel Indonesia roundabout, Kota Tua, in North Jakarta, and the Blok M shopping hub, in South Jakarta. Each airconditioned bus can hold 60 passengers and includes television screens that will be used to show a tourism video. Bus service will begin a trial run on Thursday, with full service going into effect by the end early February at the latest, Arie said.

China November industrial output growth slows to 10.0% China’s potential, we expect the government to maintain neutral monetary and fiscal policies in the next couple of quarters while increasing their efforts on drafting and carrying out structural reforms,” the Bank of America Merrill Lynch economists wrote. China’s ruling Communist Party vowed last month to pursue a range of reforms, including encouraging a bigger role for the private sector, further interest rate liberalisation and loosened currency controls.
BEIJING: China’s industrial production growth slowed in
November but retail sales expanded at a faster pace, official figures showed on Tuesday, suggesting a mixed picture for the world’s second-largest economy. Industrial output, which measures production at factories, workshops and mines, rose 10.0 per cent in November yearon-year, the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) announced. That was a slowdown from the 10.3 per cent expansion recorded in October, but matched the median forecast of 11 economists surveyed by Dow Jones Newswires. Retail sales, a key indicator of consumer spending, rose 13.7 per cent in November from the year before -- an acceleration from the 13.3 per cent registered in October. “Today’s data could be either market neutral or slightly positive,” Bank of America Merrill Lynch economists Lu Ting, Zhi Xiaojia and others wrote in a report. They added the figures might raise expectations for stronger growth in the current fourth quarter, while “the structure of the economy seems to be improved towards consumption”. The data for November came after strong export and benign inflation figures for the month as China’s economy -- a driver of global and regional growth -- shows signs of strength after a slump in the first half of the year. Gross domestic product (GDP) expanded 7.8 per cent in July-September, snapping a two-quarter slowdown, with data for the final three months of the year so far suggesting a steady outlook. Figures on Monday showed Chinese inflation slowed to 3.0 per cent in November, after two months of acceleration in consumer prices, well under the government’s target for the year of 3.5 per cent. “With a muted inflation and a pace of GDP growth in line with
On Sunday, the General Administration of Customs said exports accelerated 12.7 per cent year-on-year in November while import growth weakened, fuelling the country’s biggest trade surplus in nearly five years. But the strong export figure led some economists to wonder whether companies had returned to over-invoicing their overseas sales to camouflage capital flows, a phenomenon seen earlier this year. “The export growth according to (the) industrial survey only grew by 5.8 per cent, which reinforces our view that double digit export growth in November likely reflects to some extent capital flows disguised as trade flows,” Nomura International economist Zhang Zhiwei said in an email Tuesday. China’s leaders say they are aiming to move the economy away from dependency on big ticket investment and want consumer demand to become the key growth engine. Also Tuesday, the NBS said that fixed asset investment, a measure of government spending on infrastructure, expanded 19.9 per cent year on year in the first 11 months of 2013. That compared with an increase of 20.1 per cent for the first 10 months, indicating a slowdown in growth. Authorities are targeting 2013 growth of 7.5 per cent, the same as the objective set last year, with economist speculation increasingly focused on whether officials may lower it to seven per cent for 2014. “We see two options for the government: keeping it at 7.5 per cent or cutting it to seven per cent, and believe that deciding between these two will be a close call,” Nomura International’s Zhang said in a report Tuesday. China sees annual growth in the seven per cent range as being more sustainable for the future as the country’s economy matures. As recently as 2010 GDP grew 10.4 per cent, and the following year it expanded 9.3 per cent. - AFP/gn Source :channelnewsasia.com

EIB continues to support modernisation of Polish rail fleet The European Investment Bank (EIB) is lending PLN 200 million (EUR 47 million) to
PKP Cargo S.A. for the upgrading of the rail fleet in Poland. The Bank has now supported rail investments in Poland for 23 years, promoting the improvement of both infrastructur e and rolling stock. Thanks to this EIB loan, PKP Cargo will upgrade its fleet by purchasing and modernising locomotives and wagons. The acquisition of new rolling stock is part of the company’s investment programme for the forthcoming three years. The EIB strongly promotes sustainable and environmentally friendly transport solutions. By providing new and modernised rolling stock, the project will increase the quality of freight rail services in Poland. The new fleet will enable more efficient operation, reduce maintenance costs and lower energy consumption. This should help railways compete with other modes, particularly road, so as to maintain or improve its modal share. Shifting freight flows from other modes to rail will result in reduced vehicle operation costs and safety and environmental benefits. New vehicles will replace the ageing fleet and modernised diesel locomotives will consume less fuel and oil as well as operating with less noise and vibration. The Bank’s support provides high financial value added to PKP Cargo by making available long-term funds at favourable rates. Background information The EIB is the long-term lending institution of the European Union owned by its Member States. It makes long-term finance available for sound investment in order to contribute towards EU policy goals. Source : europa.eu

Amazon unveils ‘the future of home delivery’... package drones Aamazon has unveiled a secret project to de-
velop what it claims will be the future of home delivery — packages dropped off by drones. The internet shopping giant’s boss Jeff Bezos says he wants to use octocopters to replace postmen and cut delivery times to only 30 minutes.
Customers would have their order dropped on to their front lawn by the machine, which would fly through the air from a nearby warehouse with the goods clasped in a metal grabber. It is not clear if the drones are a PR stunt or a serious proposition. But speaking to US TV network CBS, Mr Bezos said: “I know this looks like science fiction. It’s not.” His claims raise the prospect of a future in which drones could also ferry post, including letters, around. In the interview, Mr Bezos said that the drones would be able to carry goods up to five pounds in weight, which covers 86 per cent of the items that the company delivers.

He said that he wanted to launch the “Amazon Prime Air” service within four to five years, though that would almost certainly be in the US before anywhere else. Explaining it was “an R&D project”, he said: “In urban areas, you could actually cover very significant portions of the population. And so, it won’t work for everything; you know, we’re not gonna deliver kayaks or table saws this way.” He appeared to suggest the new technology could be an environmentally friendly alternative, adding: “These are electric motors, so this is all electric; it’s very green, it’s better than driving trucks around.” Mr Bezos said the octocopters would not need a pilot to guide them. Instead they would use GPS tracking to find their way to and from the address. Getting approval from the US Federal Aviation Authority was going to be the “hardest thing”, Mr Bezos said, but he insisted he thinks it “will happen”. Mr Bezos has long been considered a retail visionary and is credited with turning Amazon into the $61billion (£37billion) a year juggernaut that it is today. Source: standard.co.uk
