At a time when corporate muscle is often required to overcome the depressed global freight market situation, takeovers, mergers and alliances are becoming a frequent source of conversation in the SA freight industry.

And it’s not only here, but worldwide, as companies battle to stay in front in times where survival is often a result of

acquiring extra market share in an industry where the market pie is getting decidedly smaller.

For some time, observers have been keeping a close eye on the global shipping lines, which have been sorely tried by a market where demand has been plummeting, but overcapacity – fed by the delivery of large numbers of mega container ships – has significantly pushed up the supply side of the equation.

But the forecast takeover/merger trend in this industry has not transpired. Rather the lines started to indulge in major alliances, and where large even began to be allied with equally large. On the local scene, this has been highlighted in the last week with CMA CGM (the world’s third biggest container carrier) allying with AP Moller/Maersk (the world’s number one) on a number of SA trades.

Airlines (except in the US) have been largely exempt from the takeover/merger scene. But multi-airline alliances have become almost the norm in this industry – like the 13-member OneWorld, the 18-member SkyTeam and the 28-member Star Alliance, of which SA national carrier, SAA, is one.

What of the clearing and forwarding industry?

Yes, we are definitely

seeing the start of a takeover trend involving SA, said Dave Logan, CEO of the SA Association of Freight Forwarders (Saaff), citing the most recent examples – the Bridge Shipping group being taken over by Dutch-based Steinweg, and Turners Shipping acquiring the DTB Cartage shipping business.

And he added that he had heard a number of hints

A South African educational programme that is helping to address the skills shortage in the maritime industry by creating opportunities for young people, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds, has gained global recognition.

The Simon’s Town-based Lawhill Maritime Studies programme, which equips teenagers with maritime skills while they are still at school, has been shortlisted for the 2012 Seatrade ‘Investment in

People’ award.The Centre is entirely

funded by the shipping industry and demonstrates the value and potential of partnerships between the private sector and an educational institution in addressing South Africa’s youth unemployment and poverty, says Brian Ingpen, head of the Lawhill Maritime Centre.

The winners will be announced at a gala function in London on May 14.

Former Lawhill Maritime Centre student Tyrone Campbell is currently at sea with Safmarine … the programme was pioneered in the mid-90s and has consistently improved the employment prospects of hundreds of young South Africans leaving school each year.

Sunset Review Unframed GlassOn 20 April the International Trade Administration Commission of South Africa (Itac) gazetted its final determination on the Sunset Review of the anti-dumping duties on unframed glass mirrors, classifiable under tariff subheading 7009.21, originating in or imported from Indonesia.

According to the notice, the investigation was initiated on 26 June 2009 in anticipation of the expiration of the anti-dumping duty on 24 October 2011. In the initiation notice it was indicated that unless a substantiated request was made indicating that the expiry of the anti-dumping duty against unframed mirrors originating in or imported from Indonesia would likely lead to the continuation or recurrence of dumping and material injury it would expire on 24 October 2011.

On 30 March 2011 a response to the Sunset

Review questionnaire was received from the “Applicant”, which although not named in the notice, is assumed, based on past investigations, to be PFG Building Glass (Pty) Ltd.

The notice of the initiation of the Sunset Review investigation was published on 23 September 2011, with the due date for responses stipulated to be 02 November 2011.

No responses were received from any of the Southern African Customs Union (Sacu) importers, or overseas exporters.

After considering all the information submitted by the Applicant, the Commission issued essential facts letters stating that it was considering making a final determination that the expiry of these anti-dumping duties would likely lead to the continuation or recurrence of material injury.

The Commission made a final determination that the expiry of the anti-dumping duty would lead to the recurrence of material injury.

The Commission

considered that although imports had still taken place during the period of investigation, they were in very small quantities and that the Applicant’s selling price had increased from 2008 to 2010 with a further increase in 2011. The Commission thus decided not to recommend an increase in the rate of anti-dumping duty as the current rate was sufficient to eliminate the material injury.

The Commission, therefore, recommended to the Minister of Trade and Industry that the anti-dumping duty be retained at a rate of 6.61%.

Rules for TravellersOn 19 April, with a subsequent amendment (20 April) relating only to the Government Gazette number, the South African Revenue Service (Sars) announced Rules to the Customs and Excise Act (Sections 15 and 120), and forms relating to the Traveller Card (TC-01) and the Traveller Declaration (TRD1).

It is important to take note

of Rule 15.01(a)(ii) which stipulates that a traveller may only use the forms TC-01 and/or TRD1 for declaring goods or vehicles required to be declared on these forms and places and from the date specified for each place.

It is also important to take note of the implementation date at the following border posts – Ramathlabama (21 April) and Nerston (05 May).

Duty Calls’ Watch ListComment is due by 30 April in respect of the proposed exclusion of specific PVC strips from the existing anti-dumping duties applicable on PVC rigid originating in or imported from the People’s Republic of China.

Maersk Line, and its sister line Safmarine, as part of their tie-up with CMA CGM, have made a number of changes to the Far East-Southern Africa (Safari) and Far East-Mozambique (M-Express) services, designed, said Maersk, to enhance the products.

On Safari, effective from April 24 ex Shanghai, Cape Town was removed from the port rotation, and is to be added to the FW3 (Far East-West Africa) service effective from May 7 ex Tanjung Pelepas.

In the vessel-sharing agreement with CMA CGM on the Safari service, the French-based line will contribute one vessel, and take a 12.5% weekly share of the service’s capacity

into Durban and Port Elizabeth.

“The changes to our Safari service will allow us to provide an improved product offering to our customers,” Matthew J Conroy, APM Group trade manager for southern Africa, told FTW. “Cape Town will now be the only port of call on the SA coast from the Far East on the FW3 Service. This will allow our Cape Town customers to avoid any disruptions that may occur as a result of the refurbishments in the Port of Durban expected later in the year.

“At the same time, the Safari service now offers an improved eastbound service for SA exports, leading to a

reduction in transit times of approximately seven days.”

Conroy also announced the upgrading of the M-Express service. “It now offers direct access into Malaysia,” he said.

The two lines will enter into a vessel-sharing agreement with CMA CGM and offer a direct service into South East Asia, with Mozambique cargo no

longer transhipped via Port Louis on the route.

As part of the vessel-sharing agreement, the lines’ current M-Express service fleet will be expanded from four 1 700-TEU capacity vessels to seven 2 100-TEU capacity vessels.

With the planned departure of the Safmarine Nimba 1206 on May 8 from

Tanjung Pelepas, the new port rotation will be: Port Kelang-Tanjung Pelepas-Reunion-Toamasina-Maputo-Beira-Nacala-Port Louis-Tanjung Pelepas.

“M-Express will therefore offer a direct service for Tanjung Pelepas-Mozambique-Tanjung Pelepas cargo,” Conroy said, “leading to a more stable and reliable product.”

Far East service changes kick in

New rotation will ensure Cape Town customers avoid disruptions related to Port of Durban refurbishments.

Turners Shipping has acquired the shipping division of DTB Cartage in a deal that was initiated earlier this year.

“For us it is an opportunity to extend our business operations and expand our client base, while DTB’s existing customers will benefit from our state-of-the-art information systems and added value service facilities,” says Conrad Cochrane-Murray, chief executive officer of Durban-based Turners Shipping.

Turners and DTB have an established working relationship, with Turners having handled DTB’s freight forwarding business for the past five years. The two companies also share a long tradition in the shipping business – DTB was established 108 years ago while Turners Shipping recently celebrated 116 years in the Industry.

The transaction came into effect at the beginning of March with members of the management team and staff from DTB joining

Turners and working at its head office in Durban.

“Turners Shipping is in a position to provide the same rates and credit facilities as those provided by DTB while offering an expanded range of specialised services, including our well-established airfreight operation which is based at Durban’s International Airport.”

Turners has seven offices in southern Africa and is the South African partner in BDP International which

is a global network of logistics and transportation specialists in over 120 countries.

Financial constraints forced the closure of 108-year-old DTB Cartage in March this year.

Shipping lines’ reluctance to allow containers to travel into the hinterland is one of the logistics challenges facing shippers in Africa.

According to Mark

Gunther, managing director of Karabo Africa, there are various reasons for this. “One of course is security. Lines would prefer their boxes to remain at the ports which means that often goods have to be repacked

into self-owned or rented containers and then moved to the various locations. Another reason is that there is a discrepancy in the volumes of containerised cargo going out and coming back which makes it a costly

affair – there is very little cargo coming back in the containers.”

Gunther says a lot of project cargo is strategically fitted into containers but once delivered to a mine, for example, boxes often

have to return empty to the port. “The mining product is seldom packed in containers at the mine due to additional weight of containers.”

He says finding ways of overcoming such challenges is what makes the difference.

As part of its vessel-sharing agreement with Maersk Line, the French-based line, CMA CGM, has announced the reshuffling of its services on the Asia-SA and Asia-Mozambique trades.

It is to replace its current Shaka and Mozex services with new Shaka2 and Mozex2 services.

In the partnership with Maersk Line the new Asia-SA (Shaka2) service network – jointly operated with eight

vessels of 6 500 TEUs – was, from April 24, covered by a port rotation of: Shanghai-Ningbo-Fuzhou-Yantian-Tanjung Pelepas-Port Louis-Singapore-Nansha, this last a new port on the service.

And, as of May 8, the new Mozex2 service on the Asia-Mozambique trade will be serviced by a joint-operation of seven vessels of 2 200 TEUs on a port rotation of: Tanjung Pelepas-Port Kelang-Pointe des Galets-Toamasina-Maputo-Beira-Nacala-Port Louis.

“This reorganisation is part of CMA CGM’s commitment to keep providing its customers with the best quality of service on India/Middle East-East Africa trades,” MD Arnaud Thibault told FTW.

“The new Shaka 2 and Mozex 2 services are providing better frequency and schedule reliability which answer our clients’ demand. The two services are also giving better port coverage in Asia, the Indian Ocean Islands, SA and Mozambique.”

Most British motorists support stricter anti-drunk driving legislation along the same lines as France where drivers have to carry breathalyser kits in their cars at all times, according to Pan-European roadside assistance company Mondial Assistance UK.

Over 60% of motorists surveyed said that they would like to see the UK following in the footsteps of the French who face a fine of €11 for not carrying a breathalyser kit in their vehicles.

The legislation includes drivers visiting the country for a holiday or on a day trip. Any motorists found with between 50mg and 80mg of alcohol in 100ml of blood can be fined €135.

The legal limit for driving in the UK is 80mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood.

“Recent drink-drive statistics show in the past decade there has been almost a 60% increase in the proportion of morning after ‘drink drive’ accidents in the UK,” says Lee Taylor, automotive director for Mondial Assistance UK.

The Federation of Eastern and Southern African Road Transport Associations (Fesarta) has elected Paul Maiyo, finance director of Siginon Freight and chairman of the Kenya Transport Association (KTA), as new chairman. He takes over from Mike Scott, MD of Cargo Carriers’ e-cargo division.

Gavin Kelly, technical and operations manager of SA’s Road Freight Association (RFA), was elected vice-chairman at Fesarta’s 8th AGM recently.

“It’s the first time that someone from East Africa has taken this office,” Scott said. “And I think that it’s a good thing, as Fesarta, after all, represents constituents in both eastern and southern Africa, and trucking is conducted between these two regions.

Barney Curtis, executive

officer of Fesarta, agreed with the relevance of the appointment of an eastern African chairman, as the federation was the only one that represented both eastern and southern members. “Unlike the other similar federations,” he added, “all of which are of a purely southern African nature.”

Maiyo’s appointment was also deserving, he added, because the Kenyan association was a very important force in th East African area.

The other main item on the agenda at the Fesarta AGM was the preparation of a memorandum on issues affecting the transport industry, which is to be presented to the relevant ministers of the EAC, Comesa and the SADC at their tripartite meeting later this year.

New Fesarta chairman makes history Despite some serious

challenges, the establishment of a Federation of Clearing and Forwarding Associations of Southern Africa (FCFASA) is firmly on the planning boards.

This follows a workshop held earlier this year to give FCFASA a “kick-start” to become a successful regional association.

Around 20 delegates from Mauritius, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Tanzania, South Africa as well as sponsors TradeMark Southern Africa (TMSA) met in Johannesburg to map the way forward.

One of the immediate priorities is the establishment of an e-learning portal, which will include a regional training curriculum. The association will also look at developing a website and business plan.

TMSA agreed to support FCFASA in the development of its business plan, but called for the national associations to show commitment by paying some subscriptions. A spokesman made it clear that all support would be outcomes-based, ie, FCFASA, would need to show that it could produce results in order to justify funding

While FCFASA had previously agreed with its member associations that there would be an annual membership fee of US$500, this was not being paid. And to complicate matters, FCFASA did not have a bank account.

In order to strengthen national associations, it was suggested that they come to an agreement with their ministries (customs) to ensure that no clearing agents could register with

customs unless they were members of a national association. “This would strengthen the national associations and so enable them to support the regional body,” said executive director of the Federation of East and Southern African Road Transport Associations, Barney Curtis.

Looking after the bottom line in the airfreight industry is all about balance – and that’s an issue to which Air Cargo Germany has been applying its mind.

While the recent acquisition of a major shareholding in ACG by Russian airline major Volga-Dnepr translates into a more credible and stable service for the local airfreight industry, the new parent company will be assessing route profitability in the coming months.

ACG operates two B747 freighters a week from Germany, “and the inbound f lights are virtually full,” says Gerd von Mansberg, MD of ACG general

sales agent The Cargo Connection.

“But the outbound is a problem – which is why we need an intermediate African destination on the SA-Frankfurt leg.”

And that’s a decision that will be made in the near future.

According to Von Mansberg, the northbound contracted cargo – largely automotive-related – has been lost. Not only has seafreight taken a major share based on cost considerations, but South Africa’s labour laws have cost the industry dearly.

“Motor companies have a range of models. But in South Africa, Toyota for example is only manufacturing two platforms – the Hilux and

Corolla. “And because everything

is so standardised and they’ve got the logistics right, there’s little need for last-minute spares.”

Catalytic converters, which used to be a strong outbound commodity, now move by sea. “And we’ve lost the leather business, 50% of which has moved to Bulgaria.”

The financial muscle that Volga-Dnepr brings to ACG – along with the many new destinations from Frankfurt-Hahn – is clearly a positive development for the local airfreight industry. And with 17 B747s in its f leet, it’s a substantial operation.

TCC will be going all out to market the airline’s new global

network opportunities from Frankfurt which include China, Armenia, Kazakhstan, India, Kenya, Sudan and the USA.

Air Cargo Germany rethinks SA-Frankfurt routingIntermediate African destination on the cards

Gerd von Mansberg ... ‘South Africa’s labour laws have cost the industry dearly.’

Forwarding African Transport Services (FATS) has launched a fortnightly roadfreight consolidation service to Lusaka.

And according to CEO Caron Harris, plans are afoot to extend it to other destinations in Africa.

“The launch of the service is a natural progression from our Full Container Load (FCL) service into African countries,” she said.

“With our own bondstore and a partnership with a large unpack depot, there is no need to divert any cargo en route to Lusaka, as cargo can be kept in bond until dispatch,” she said.

Containing costs is a major element of export success, but when it comes to intra-Africa trade, the region seems to be shooting itself in the foot.

According to the deputy director-general of the World Trade Organisation, Valentine Rugwabiza, sub-Saharan African countries impose more non-tariff barriers on trade between themselves than on trade with third countries.

“Efforts at harmonising technical regulations and standards, sanitary and phytosanitary measures as well as rules of origin have been timid adding to the costs of doing business,” he said during a presentation at the University of the Witwatersrand earlier this month.

Rugwabiza quoted

a World Bank Report entitled ‘De-fragmenting Africa’, which states that Shoprite spends $20 000 a week on securing import permits to distribute meat, milk and plant-based goods to its stores in Zambia alone.

“There could be up to 1 600 documents accompanying each truck Shoprite sends with a load that crosses an SADC border,” he added. “Africa is almost the most expensive continent

in which to do business: whereas it costs around $900 to ship a container from South-East Asia, it costs almost $2000 to ship the same container from Africa. Likewise, whereas it costs $935 to import a container from South-East Asia, it costs almost $2500 to import the same container from Africa.”

With the right regulatory frameworks and political will, the potential for trade among African countries could be unlocked and contribute tremendously to the growth and development goals of the continent, he said.

“Africa remains the most fragmented continent in the world with 54 countries with numerous border crossings. Intra-trade among African countries stood at 10%

last year,” he said. This compares unfavourably with other regions of the world where intra-trade in the EU-27 is around 70%, 52% for Asian countries, 50% for North American countries and 26% for South American countries.”

Africa’s share in world trade is also small, he added, at less than 3% last year. Its top trading partner regions were the European Union, Asia and the United States.

Its trade is also overly dependent on a narrow range of primary products. In 2010, fuels and mining products constituted 66% of its total merchandise exports.

And while historical under-spending on infrastructure is part of the problem, investment in

infrastructure has begun to pick up pace in the last two decades, although actual spending does not match identified needs.

Because of the high cost of doing business on the African continent, foreign investors have bypassed Africa even though there are several studies which suggest that returns on investment in Africa are far greater than returns on investment in Asia and Latin America. “Last year, Africa attracted less than 5% of global FDI f lows. Whereas China attracted $124 billion in FDI f lows, African countries only attracted $52 billion.”

The low level of intra-African trade is a missed growth and development opportunity for African countries, he said.

‘Non-tariff barriers are killing intra-Africa tradeLast year Africa attracted less than 5% of global FDI flows

‘With the right regulatory frameworks and political will, the potential for trade among African countries could be unlocked.’

For the Nicolella brothers it’s been full steam ahead since they bought out commodity broking company Meridian Shipping some six years ago.

While they have been involved in running the business for the past 20 years, since the buy-out they’ve have managed to grow their volumes ten-fold, with the company moving 3 500-5 000 containers a month to worldwide destinations.

While good timing has certainly played a role, they believe that their customer-centric approach has been a big part of their success.

And it’s the kind of success that comes at a price – but for Guglielmo and Yvan, taking their laptops to the beach and dealing with customer queries while opening Christmas presents is a small price to pay for the independence and fulfilment that Meridian Shipping has brought to the family.

While Guglielmo had dreams of joining the navy as he watched vessels sailing in and out of Durban harbour during his early years growing up in the port city, commercial shipping was never a career ambition.

He joined Meridian Shipping in 1990 with Yvan coming on board two years later – and when a full buy-out opportunity arose in 2006, they were up for the challenge and have never looked back.

Acting as middlemen between traders and shipping lines, their objective is to get the best deal and service for the customer. “But we believe in partnering with the shipping line – because that’s in everyone’s best interests,” says Guglielmo.

“And although we’ve often been approached to get involved in packing, warehousing and transport, we prefer to focus on what we’re good at and what we can manage.”

The company initially focused on steel and asbestos exports, but it has now diversified in product and destination, serving traders of all sizes to a range of destinations.

The East is its major market – with 50-60% of its volumes moving on this trade lane – but it’s not all about massive commodity shipments to China. “We’ll do a 40-foot container of biscuits to Port Louis if that’s what the trader needs.”

According to Yvan, 2007 was a watershed year.

“We were fortunate in that we had positioned ourselves well in the market when the boom hit in China and we were in the right place at the right time – and business has continued to escalate ever since.

“We have remained focused during these years on what we do best and we believe the main benefit for the client is the customer service that we provide.”

“It’s all about the family values of integrity and transparency,” says Guglielmo, “and we believe that this has a lot to do with our success in maintaining and increasing our customer base.”

But it’s not plain sailing by any means.

“One of the biggest challenges in South Africa is the lack of infrastructure in the country, strikes, port congestion, delays and changes at the port, the inconsistency of rail – and, depending on the buoyancy in the market – capacity and lack of equipment.

Freight rates are now a third of what they were in 2008 and half of what they were in 2006 – which could be an indication of the dire circumstances in which the shipping lines find themselves.

‘It’s all about ensuring a fair deal for all parties’Commodity broker grows export volumes ten-fold in six years

Two or three years ago space was at a premium, but tougher market conditions have meant

easier access to capacity.And while at times

having to drive a hard bargain with the lines is part and parcel of what commodity broking is all about, it’s also about trying to ensure a fair deal for all parties, says Yvan.

Freight rates are now a third of what they were in 2008 and half of what they were in 2006 – which could be an indication of the dire circumstances in which the shipping lines find themselves. And that comes back to Yvan’s earlier contention that it’s all about finding the balance between partnering with the lines while still having the clients’ best interests at heart.

Ten years ago lines were happy to negotiate an annual contract – but they’re now dealing on a

monthly basis or even a spot basis – which makes it difficult for the trader to plan ahead.

“Even getting a rate for three months is difficult and hardly ever achieved these days,” he said.

Competition in the field of commodity broking has also escalated dramatically over the past decade. “Ten years ago commodity broking was limited to two or three companies – there are now 20-30 vying for the same business,” says Guglielmo.

Clearly the shipping landscape has changed dramatically, but for the Nicolella brothers the basics of a successful business will never change – hard work, know-how, obsessive attention to customer service – and, of course, integrity.

“African countries can increase trade amongst themselves if they back the political commitment to integration as contained in various regional trade agreements with the appropriate policies and actions,” World Trade Organisation deputy director-general Valentine Rugwabiza said in Johannesburg recently.

And debunking the entrenched view that Africa cannot trade with Africa, he pointed out that Kenya had shown that increased trade with other African countries was possible within the right framework.

“The majority of Kenya’s exports (over 50%) are destined for other Comesa member states, particularly Tanzania and Uganda. It is also among the largest foreign investors

in these countries.” South Africa, he added,

had also seen its trade with SADC member states and other African countries such as Nigeria, Ghana and Kenya blossom.

“MTN, the South African telecommunications operator, is now operating in 16 African countries and a significant portion of its profits is increasingly coming from these countries. South African retailers are also establishing a footprint in many African countries.”

All of these success stories show that with the right regulatory frameworks and political will, the potential for trade amongst African countries could be unlocked and contribute tremendously to the growth and development goals of the continent, he said.

One of the major players in the East London industrial development zone (IDZ) is Foxtec-Ikhwezi – a supplier of high-volume forged non-ferrous products to the automotive industry.

The company base is conveniently located about two kilometres from the Port of East London, 1km from the Mercedes Benz SA (MBSA) plant, and 7kms from the East London Airport.

It was founded in 2004 as a joint venture between Otto-Fuchs of Germany (70%) and Ikhwezi Investment Holdings (30%), and started production at its R112-million plant in September 2006.

Foxtec-Ikhwezi supplies parts to the SA and also European production plants of Mercedes Benz. It is the single source supplier into the global market for these components, and its East London IDZ plant is established as the supplier, for example, of forged aluminium suspension struts for the rear axle of every Mercedes Benz C- and E-Class in the world. It is also making suspension parts for high-performance AMG models, and for the SL-Class 2012 model.

While most of its

products find their markets in Germany, the US and China, the company is constantly looking to expand, according to Foxtec-Ikhwezi GM, Antony Funston.

“We now have an output of 5.4-million parts, and we are shipping 90% of the components we produce overseas,” he told FTW. “But, as well as adding to our automotive customer base, we have also expanded into the production of non-automotive components.”

An initial move into the general engineering field has been the production of aluminium drive adaptors for a mining company in Swaziland, according to production manager, Andrew Brown. And, he told FTW, the company is aggressively marketing its expertise to other potential customers, and is also looking at using a variety of other non-ferrous alloys.

In this, Foxtec-Ikhwezi will share in the skills base of partner, Otto-Fuchs, which manufactures high-quality products for the aerospace, automotive, construction and general engineering industries, manufactured from aluminium, magnesium, copper, titanium and nickel alloys.

“The widespread application of light-weight materials in the field of general engineering is due to their excellent combination of dynamic strength, low density and good corrosion resistance,” said Brown. “The forging technology allows us to adjust the direction of the optimum mechanical properties to the direction of stress in a component and thus fully exploit the properties of the material.

“And copper and brass alloys, for example, have

good processing properties. They are easy to form and, at the same time, have a high strength and resistance to wear, tear and corrosion. They have a wide range of applications, in particular in hydraulics and pneumatics.”

Training is also a focus for Foxtec-Ikhwezi, according to Funston. “Continuous investment in training and development is vital to the firm, as is creating a safe work environment,” he said. “As the work place needs to be a safe place to work,

this is ensured through the implementation and accreditation of OHSAS18001 standards and ISO14001.

“The work place also needs to be challenging and productive, hence the strong focus on achievement of goals with the aid of mission-directed work teams.”

And, the company must be doing something right, insisted Funston. “Not many businesses can count the likes of Mercedes as valued customers,” he said.

EXPORT SUCCESS

For companies to achieve success in the export field, they must have systems that give them a distinct advantage, according to Compu-Clearing marketing manager, Homith Hooseria.

And the Compu-Clearing export system for air, sea and road freight is the most widely used customs clearing and freight forwarding system in South Africa, he told FTW.

One of the functions the system offers to importers producing the necessary documentation is the SAD500 Bill Of Entry (BoE) documents in all their myriad variations for any entry type or tariff heading,

“And we guarantee our

BoE,” said Hooseria, “with all the details to be found in the Compu-Clearing Guarantee.

“Not only that, but all the statutory customs documents can be produced from our system.

Hooseria also highlighted a number of features of the export system.

“It is dynamically linked to an updated database which stores all the latest customs tariffs and the exchange rates,” he said. “And it automatically advises the clearing agent of the tariff headings that have changed.”

Supporting that is the integration factor. “The export system is fully integrated to all other modules,” Hooseria added. “This allows for a single

input of data to populate all fields from the BoE all the way through to invoicing. This increases productivity and reduces user errors.

“Also, all master files – from product codes to exporter details – can be uploaded into our system and do not require manual capturing.

“The product codes allow for the accurate determination of the tariff heading to be used on the customs documentation. Multiple products can be set up against a single tariff heading to allow the tracking of different products that share a common tariff heading. The BoE programme can automatically consolidate these into a single line.”

Looking at permits,

Hooseria notes that the export system will notify the user if a permit is required on a specific tariff heading. “Our system also includes a programme that tracks and keeps stock of all used and unused permits. And, on consolidation of BoE entry lines, when multiple lines share a common tariff heading, the programme can consolidate these into a single line for customs purposes, if specified.

“We use the latest of cloud technologies, allowing our clients to set up national network links to our server with no infrastructure costs. All that is required is an Internet connection.

Hooseria pointed out that seamless integration is found within the system, from

the air waybill to the BoE, without the need to ever duplicate any data. It also includes air waybill tracking direct from the airlines.

A similar situation exists for sea exports, where there is integration from the BoE to the Bill of Lading (BoL), again without the need to duplicate any data.

The South African LCL export market, traditionally a prepaid market, is slowly but surely changing, according to Alistair Heald of World Cargo Services (WCS).

“It has been changing from the traditional prepaid market as more and more consignees move towards nominating the NVOCC/

freight forwarder. The reason for this is twofold,” he said. “Firstly, consignees want to control their ocean and landside costs, particularly as destination rebates become more prevalent, while the effects of global contracts are also being felt more and more.”

All of this, said Heald, has required quite a mind-set change – especially when receiving cargo

nominations from destination agents.

World Cargo Services, best known for its air and sea import services from the USA, UK and China, has added to its service offering and now has a fully fledged groupage export service to multiple destinations.

“This is in line with WCS’s global expansion programme. Our export department has grown rapidly despite the economy and we now consider ourselves a player in this market,” said Heald. “Groupage cargo is being consigned to our established overseas partners and has led to new opportunities for us in establishing new agents in West and East Africa, where we have seen a lot of activity. Similarly our overseas agents are sending their East and Africa freight either direct or to us for transhipment via Durban.”

He said WCS would continue to participate in exchange sales visits with its overseas agents to ensure that the services on offer are being promoted at origin and destination points.

Moving coal from the Waterberg is not as simplistic as one would think – and setting a timeline to this major project is extremely difficult, Brian Molefe, Transnet GCE, said recently.

“The Richards Bay coal corridor is already congested because it has to handle both coal and general freight. Opening up export capacity from the Waterberg is high on our agenda.”

Whilst much money is being plunged into the project, Molefe said the first step would be to remove general freight from the Richards Bay corridor which will be achieved through the building of the new general freight link through Swaziland.

The next big step, said Molefe, will be to find a solution to bypassing the Rustenburg/Brits area where the existing railway line will not be able to handle the

weight of heavy freight.“This part of the line will

not be able to carry 26-axle loads due to the clay soil conditions. We are therefore going to have to bypass this area to link the Waterberg miners to the coal corridor.”

He said he did not foresee any of this happening before 2016. “The focus is now on the first phase which is the Swaziland loop – we have announced the project, we have turned the sod and we want to start construction, and then we can focus on how we are going to bypass the Rustenburg area.”

He said the Waterberg coal reserves were important to Transnet and at the moment the company was moving coal from the Waterberg to Witbank for Eskom.

“We want to position South Africa as the key thermal coal supplier in the world. To do that we are upgrading our infrastructure by investing in upgrades and expansion across the country.”

Waterberg coal logistics a priority, says Molefe… but it will take time

Successful exporting in Africa is dependent on good strategic partners who can address the multitude of logistical challenges the continent presents quickly and efficiently.

Mark Gunther, managing director of Karabo Africa, says these partners need to be multi-skilled and expert problem solvers.

“Africa has its own unique set of challenges when it comes to moving cargo efficiently and timeously. We are heavily involved in project cargo that is mining related and therefore time penalties are implemented if one does not deliver on time. One’s partner makes the difference in being able to meet these strict deadlines.”

Gunther, who has extensive experience in Africa, having worked across the continent for years, says international importers and exporters rely on the knowledge of South African-based forwarders to deal with opportunities and challenges presented by

Africa, in containing their risks.

“With projects especially in East and West Africa on the increase there is a lot of scope for future growth on the continent,” Gunther told FTW, “but you need to ensure your infrastructure is in place to be able to deliver an efficient service.”

Karabo, meaning an answer for Africa, has entered into agreements with agents across the continent that allow them to have a strong representation across the south, east and

west of the continent.“The partners we have

are carefully selected based on their inherent understanding of the country they operate in, being able to advise and give guidance on all aspects of the country – be it political, cultural or religious in nature. They also play a huge rule in overcoming language barriers. At the same time we look for people who have the ability to solve problems quickly and also understand the intricacies of moving cargo in Africa.”

The patriarch of the A.P. Moller-Maersk Group, Maersk Mc-Kinney Møller, died in a hospital in Copenhagen on April 16, aged 98. He was the son of Arnold Peter Møller – founder of the AP Moller Maersk group.

“Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller became joint owner of the company Firmaet AP Møller in 1940. Following his father’s death in 1965, he became director and chairman of the most important companies in the AP Møller-Maersk Group. He undertook the daily management until 1993 and was chairman until 2003,” one of his three daughters, Ane Mærsk Mc-Kinney Uggla, said in a statement.

"My sisters and I have lost a father who never failed his family or his business.”

At the time of his death,

he was chairman of the Board of the AP Møller and Chastine Mc-Kinney Møller Foundation, the AP Møller Relief Foundation, and the Maersk Employee Foundation, all of which are significant shareholders of APM.

He joined the company before World War II, and was instrumental in its growth and expansion.

He was born on July 13, 1913 in Copenhagen to Kentucky-born mother Chastine Estelle Roberta McKinney and became a partner in the family company in 1940.

His wife of 65 years, Emma, died in 2005 and he is survived by his three daughters.

According to a tribute published by the New York Times, even after resigning

as chairman in 2003, he continued to come to work each day, packing his lunch at home and climbing six flights of stairs to his office. And he continued to perform a birthday ritual: on July 13, each employee around the world received the gift of a Danish pastry.

A growing infrastructure gap threatens the long-term development of emerging and developed economies.

Due to a combination of aging infrastructure, years of under-investment by governments, and expanding populations, it is estimated that $53 trillion in infrastructure investments will be needed through 2030 to support global economic growth, according to a new report released by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), written with support from Oliver Wyman.

It estimates that countries need to invest $53 trillion in infrastructure over the next 20 years – the equivalent of three times the European Union’s $18 trillion GDP.

Over $11 trillion alone

will be required for ports, airports, and key rail routes.

Strategic Transport Infrastructure Needs to 2030 says that air passenger traffic could double, air

freight could triple, and port handling of maritime containers worldwide could quadruple by 2030.

According to the report, most of the current gateway and corridor infrastructure cannot handle even a 50% increase in demand.

Unfortunately, strained public finances, weak debt and equity markets, and restrictive commercial bank capital requirements are limiting traditional financing sources for infrastructure projects, it says.

By 2030, roads will require $7.5 trillion in investment, while electricity will need $6 trillion.

about other companies being involved in negotiations, although he said he would hesitate before saying who might be taking over whom.

“We are definitely part of an international trend in the logistics industry,” Logan said, “and I think that there will be more acquisitions and mergers in the future.”

Another observer told FTW that there were distinct advantages in takeovers, at a time when market conditions were tight, and competition getting towards the cut-throat stage.

Rather than a relatively slow internal expansion of a business, with a takeover a company immediately gets a larger set of resources at its disposal – which includes manpower, inventory and other assets.

With the larger set of resources, efficiency is increased – which, in turn, increases the output. The increase in output leads to lower costs of producing services or products, which is

the input. “The increased output

or lowered input definitely translates to better business growth for any entity,” he added. “Another advantage of a takeover is that brand awareness increases as the business expands, allowing more advertising, products and services.”

Also, in the competitive SA market, those lower service production costs give a company the distinct advantage of being able to offer competitively better pricing levels – without necessarily reducing cash flow to unsustainable levels.

“There is also an advantage in any synergy you gain in a takeover,” the commentator added. “The combined company can often reduce duplicate departments or operations, lowering the costs of the company relative to the same revenue stream, thus increasing profit.”

A company also shows distinct gains from the increased revenue/increased market share.

Plans for an Africa-wide free trade zone agreed to by the African Union in January this year have been given a boost through support from the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (Unctad).

The organisation will provide assistance relating to trade policy, trade facilitation, and productive capacity. “Productive capacity” is an economy’s ability to produce a broader range of goods, and goods of greater sophistication.

The plan has seven areas of action in total.

Speaking at the opening of the trade ministers’ meeting in Doha, Qatar, Unctad secretary-general Supachai Panitchpakdi said Africa had 16% of the world’s population, but accounted for only 2% of global Gross Domestic Product. “We are not

proceeding as fast as we need to and much work lies ahead,” he said.

Intra-regional trade is considered vital for spurring and sustaining economic growth. European countries, for example, carry out over 70% of their trade with other European nations.

In Africa, by contrast, intra-regional trade accounts for only 11% of overall African trade.

Increasing trade within the continent would provide such benefits as more rapid shipping, potentially lower transport costs, and the knock-on effect of the spread of technology, innovation, and business methods well-suited to local conditions, according to Unctad.

Experience also has shown that intra-regional trade is less vulnerable to international economic shocks – a matter of some importance after Africa was battered by the recent global recession.

Africa-wide free trade zone gets a boost

As this issue went to press on Monday morning, the National Treasury had applied to intervene in the Gauteng e-toll case to be heard by the High Court in Pretoria this week.

“There would be serious negative implications for future financing of roads and investment in public transport, were Sanral

to be interdicted from implementing the toll collection system,” Treasury said in a statement on Monday.

“National Treasury... will argue that the interdict should be denied and the implementation of toll collection should be permitted to proceed, as has been decided by Cabinet

and in keeping with the provisions of the Sanral Act.”

The application has been brought by the Opposition to Urban Tolling Alliance, the SA Vehicle Renting and Leasing Association, The Quadpara Association of SA and the SA National Consumer Union.

Truck operators should not under-estimate the importance of driver wellness as it has major cost implications on their businesses, according to Engen medical expert Dr Greg Kew.

“Health is obviously important from a productivity point of view but it has become a critical aspect for business strategy,” he said. “It is therefore never too soon and never to late to start screening drivers. The key objective is to keep healthy people healthy and identify the health risk factors early.”

He said when all factors were taken into consideration when drivers were off sick – and this included the recruitment, evaluation and training of stand-in staff as well as the loss of productivity – it could cost in the region of R230 000 to replace a driver.

Healthy drivers equal healthy bottom line
