A team of representatives from the SA Association of Freight Forwarders met the airline’s senior executive management of cargo operations last week to discuss the issue. Gary Hoyle, SAA Cargo chief financial officer and information technology specialist, told FTW that the airline had implemented a new generation, web-based system called i-Cargo. “This,” he added, “replaces our legacy systems, Safron and Zebra – and is designed to improve operational efficiencies and service to our customers.” However, Hoyle also agreed that the changeover had not been as smooth as was hoped. The system cut-over was on the morning of Sunday, October 3, he said, and SAA Cargo went live on i-Cargo following implementation of Phase 2 – which impacts on all areas of operation worldwide. “But,” Hoyle added, “we have experienced teething problems as happens with any system change.” Communication has also been on the SAA Cargo agenda before and after this system changeover, he told FTW. “We have been communicating with our customers, informing them about the change in the system prior to implementation – and have been regularly updating them about the challenges that we To page 28 For import/export decision-makers Anton Marsh. Ushering in a new era More than any other media source, executives rely on business-to-business media – like FTW and FTW Online – for information to influence or support purchase decisions. That was the finding of a recent study by the American Business Media Association quoted by freight divisional head Anton Marsh at the official launch of FTW Online in Johannesburg last Friday. “In-depth interviews with 505 key executives across all major business segments who are responsible for making purchase decisions underscored the importance of advertising during times of economic uncertainty,” he told guests. The new website, which incorporates daily news, a directory of services and a Customs tariff section, includes several new features that facilitate interactive community involvement.

DUTY CALLS Supreme Court of Appeal Rules in Sars’ Favour On 01 October 2010 the Supreme Court of Appeal of South Africa (SCA) delivered its judgement in the case of the Commissioner for the South African Revenue Service (Sars) versus Plasmaview Technologies (Pty) Ltd. This is the seventh customs and excise-related matter that has appeared before the SCA this year. The other court cases in question are (i) Distell Ltd (and Stellenbosch Farmers Winery Limited); (ii) Colgate-Palmolive (Pty) Ltd; (iii) LG Electronics SA (Pty) Ltd; (iv) Fascination Wigs (Pty) Ltd; (v) 3M South Africa (Pty) Ltd; and (vi) AMI Forwarding (Pty) Ltd. The first four cases, as well as the present one, were all in respect of tariff classifications, whilst the last two dealt with different customs and excise matters. It is quite evident that tariff classification is a major point of contention. In the latest case, the SCA upheld the Commissioner’s appeal against a judgement of the North Gauteng High Court (Pretoria) (High Court), which set aside an amendment to the motivation of a tariff determination on review as if it were a decision by the Commissioner for Sars. The Commissioner for Sars had demanded payment from Plasmaview Technologies (Pty) Ltd of underpaid duties and tax calculated in two schedules served on Plasmaview Technologies (Pty) Ltd. The High Court held that the amounts claimed were not owing and due. The SCA set aside the order of the High Court and substituted it with an order dismissing Plasmaview Technologies’ (Pty) Ltd application. The application was accordingly dismissed with costs, including the costs of two counsel. Duty Calls’ “To Do List” A reminder of comments that are due.

It’s one of several success stories that Walvis Bay Corridor Group CEO Johny Smith outlined last week when he updated FTW on grand plans not only to upgrade the port but also the road and rail infrastructure which are crucial elements of the supply chain mix. “Ten years ago when we started this initiative, Walvis Bay had no direct callers – Johny Smith … ‘Port to invest R2.7m.’ FTW1635SD now we have connections to all major trade lanes,” Smith told FTW. “Our objective is to develop Walvis Bay as an alternative trade route serving Angola, Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe, DRC, Gauteng – and even as far as Malawi and Tanzania because of transit time you can save along this route,” said Smith. Focusing on the Gauteng market, he believes Walvis Bay adds value for timecritical cargo. “Ships from Europe and the Americas have to pass Walvis Bay – and from Walvis Bay to Durban takes 5-7 days by sea. If you offload in Walvis Bay, it takes two days. Since 1994, the port has invested R800m and the draught has been deepened to 12.8m. “Ten years ago we handled 20 000 containers – last year we handled 260 000.” And according to Smith, the port will invest R2.7-bn in next 3-4 years, deepening the draught to 16m and doubling capacity to 500 000 TEUs per annum. And the investment, says Smith, is all about cutting the cost of logistics for the region, and this involves the intermodal links as well. “There’s a missing link in terms of railways along the Trans Kalahari Corridor – the railway stops 140km before you reach Botswana and then continues from Lobatse. There is 700km of railway missing but the Namibia and Botswana governments have put out an expression of interest for the railway between Botswana and Namibia. “There’s a lot of coal in Botswana and they are looking at an alternative through Namibia or the east – we are trying to run faster than Mozambique to ensure that Namibia gets the business.” Significant progress has also been made with regard to border hours. “In 2007 the border hours were extended. But a recent agreement between Botswana, Namibia and South Africa will see the introduction of a 24-hour border.” According to Smith, it’s just a question of sorting out human resources requirements between the various agencies involved. “We believe we have developed a very good alternative trade route – and that people should have choices. “Ultimately the benefit for Southern Africa is that we can reduce the cost of logistics not only by reducing transit time but through the additional benefits of competitive rates, a congestion-free port and zero pilferage.” SA women feature in transport industry By Liesl Venter Women’s voices in transport, especially in South Africa, have become a force to be reckoned with, University of Johannesburg lecturer Rose Luke told delegates at the Transport Forum last week. “At a recent conference in San Diego, America, it was astonishing to see only 20% of delegates were women. Looking at the women in the South African transport industry it is clear that we don’t have the same low uptake as in the States and that is very positive. I believe we have made major inroads and grown the number of women involved in transport.” Luke said this was further proven by the increase in the number of female students at UJ’s Department of Transport. “A few years ago only about 10% of the students in the Road Transport Management course were women, while today at least 35% of the graduates are women. In the BTech degree some 65% of the students are women. FRIDAY October 22 2010 | 5 One year on and Ngqura is pumping MOL and MSC volumes growing By Ed Richardson Early Ngqura port adopters MOL and MSC are experiencing such a growth in volumes through the port that Transnet Port Terminals will have difficulty accommodating additional lines until the berths have been extended, according to acting Transnet Port Terminals (TPT) CEO Karl Socikwa. Speaking at an event at Ngqura hosted by TPT to celebrate the first year of operation of the port, Socikwa said the port would have moved 409 000 TEUs in its second year, after handling 288 000 in the first full financial year of operations. This means Ngqura will have reached half the 800 000 TEU capacity of the first phase of the container terminal in the first full financial year of operation. Capacity has been increased by adding a sixth “gang” to operate the six gantries, ensuring that three cranes will be able to work on a vessel at a time round the clock. Productivity is also rising, with the port averaging 25 moves an hour (target 28), and 39 per ship working hour (SWH), which is expected to increase to 60 SWH with the additional staff on board. Dredging will start soon to dig the first 100 metres of the third and fourth berths down to 15.5 metres in order to accommodate two 305-metre vessels. At present, the port can only handle a 305 metre and 275 metre vessel at the same time. Nosipho Damasane, TPT chief operating officer, said other shipping lines had started showing interest now that the port had proven itself. However, the existing users have plans that will absorb most of the additional capacity when the extension starts operating in the middle of next year. “MSC is talking about an 8 000 TEU vessel for the first time in South Africa,” said Damasane. Arthur Waters, head of MSC in the Eastern Cape, confirmed that the line was planning to increase volumes through the port of Ngqura. MOL’s John Lawlor says the company is planning to bring in bigger vessels and grow its volumes as well. At present, MSC is responsible for the bulk of the traffic, having put 200 000 containers through the port in the first year, according to Waters. “We will very quickly be talking about a four berth operation,” predicted Socikwa. The quay wall for the additional two berths has been completed, and a large area paved. The harbour next to the wall now needs The two new berths at the port of Ngqura – ready for dredging and top structure. In the foreground is the rail terminal with its own gantry crane, and behind that part of the reefer stacking yard. to be dredged and top structure added to make the additional quays operational. The additional investment will increase the port capacity from 800 000 TEUs a year to two million a year. While not wanting to be committed to dates for the next phase, Damasane said it was probable that the whole berth would be dredged at the same time as the first 100 metres. “We will look at the numbers to see when the berths should be operational, and I think it will be far earlier than Nosipho Damasane … ‘Other shipping lines have started showing interest.’ Karl Socikwa … ‘We will very quickly be talking about a four berth operation.’ Pressure for rail upgrade to Ngqura By Ed Richardson There is growing pressure on Transnet to increase capacity on the rail links serving the ports of Ngqura and Port Elizabeth. Ngqura is beating its budget forecasts several times over, according to Siya Mhlaluka, terminal executive manager of Eastern Cape Terminals. In the first few months of operation, the port handled 70 000 TEUs, instead of the budgeted 50 000. A target of 100 000 TEUs was set for the first financial year, and the port is “looking at” over 400 000 TEU. Some 61% is transit cargo. Taking part in a media briefing marking the first year of Ngqura’s operation, John Lawlor of MOL Port Elizabeth said there was concern about rail capacity. With Ngqura acting as the hub port for the line’s operations, it would be necessary to move up to a thousand containers at a time from the reef. Additional pressure will be put on the rail line as volumes of bulk exports through the ports of Ngqura and Port Elizabeth grow. Port Elizabeth and Ngqura port manager Sanjay Govan confirmed that the port authority was in discussions with Transnet Freight Rail, and with exporters and importers of bulk commodities. Negotiations are at a “sensitive and delicate stage,” and “we are leveraging all our muscle to attract new cargo,” he said. Acting Transnet Port Terminals (TPT) CEO Karl Socikwa welcomed the “bullish” sentiment of lines like MOL for Ngqura, and said “Transnet is aligned to that.” FTW2048SD 8 | FRIDAY October 22 2010 Pirates increasingly gaining the upper hand ‘Incentives far outweight disincentives’ By Alan Peat In the light of the latest events, the incentives for pirates currently far outweigh the disincentives, according to Andrew Pike, a founding partner of the maritime law firm, Van Velden Pike & Partners. “The recent capture (October 11) of the NYK bulker “Izumi” by Somali pirates and the announcement that Kenya is no longer willing to handle the arrest, trial and imprisonment of captured pirates, brings back into sharp focus the piracy issue with which the region continues to be faced.” With Seychelles now the only country in the region willing to hold piracy trials, Pike expressed his opinion that the incentives for pirates far outweighed the disincentives. Also, there remain some major concerns for FTW2032SD South African shipowners, charterers and cargo owners arising from pirate attacks. Wearing his hat as senior lawyer and risk manager, Pike told a recent conference on piracy that the issue should be approached by all stakeholders – including those ship and cargo owners, charterers and governments – from a methodical risk management perspective. “All risks to crew, cargo, reputations, ships, sales contracts and the like need to be properly assessed for likelihood of occurrence and overall impact on the various stakeholders,” he added. “The risks, once properly assessed, then need to be managed by applying appropriate risk control measures to them.” And these controls come in a number of forms – and could include (as appropriate to each risk) anti-piracy measures; cargo insurance to deal with general average claims by shipowners and the like. However, Pike sounded the warning that, in his view, payment of a ransom to pirates for the release of ship, crew and cargo is a contravention in SA of the Prevention and Combating of Corruption Act. “Consequently,” he told FTW, “if a shipowner, for instance, were to pay a ransom and then claim a contribution in general average from the cargo interests, an SA insurer of such cargo would probably be within his rights not to pay the general average contribution under the policy – because the claim arose from an illegal act.” Interestingly, Pike added, it is not illegal in countries such as England to pay ransoms. This scenario then leaves the cargo owner on the horns of a dilemma. ‘The issue should be approached by all stakeholders from a methodical risk management perspective.’ “Either he has to put his hand in his own pocket in order to recover his cargo, and thereby become party to the illegality,” he said, “or he must make an ethical decision and walk away from his cargo. No prizes for guessing which route most cargo owners will take.” Be that as it may, Pike believed that all stakeholders should be speaking to each other. He also suggested that a lobby to the SA government to decriminalise ransom payments in certain circumstances would also be appropriate. FRIDAY October 22 2010 | 9 FOCUS FAR EAST It’s a market with loads of challenges and lashings of opportunity. But for Africa to benefit from its relationship with the East we must grow beyond suppliers of dirt out of the ground that goes somewhere else to be processed, says Transport Minister Rob Davies.

This especially with labour movements, he noted, which accuse Chinese competition for job losses. Fundira also pointed out that trade between the two countries mirrored that of SA and its traditional northern partners – where SA exports are mainly primary resource based-products and imports are mainly manufactured, value-added products.” “The prevalence of nontariff barriers that exist especially for agriculture,” he told FTW, “further exacerbates the concerns as these are hampering SA’s C FTW1923SD FTW1923SD Composite M Y penetration of the China market.” But, despite these concerns and given the current forecasts of China’s future economic size and political weight, Fundira insisted that “the logic of improving relations seems irrefutable”. It’s a two-way trade between benefits and disadvantages, he added – but tends to come out on the winning side. Tralac’s recent publication – ‘South Africa’s Way Ahead – Looking East’ – noted that expected losses (employment, wages, and production) in certain sectors would be offset by the opportunities created in other sectors with a competitive potential. “Thus, in the long run,” said Fundira, “it will allow SA to develop and expand trade in its competitive sectors. Affected sectors such as clothing and textiles need to be realigned and adopt new technologies – while CM MY CY CMY K opportunities exist in the chemicals, plastics and nonferrous metals sectors.” But Fundira does not suggest that the inevitable growth in China should be seen as an attack on SA – and it shouldn’t encourage this country to adopt a purely defensive posture. “While SA dines in the dragon’s lair, there should be a common understanding amongst SA stakeholders of China role’s in the global economy,” he said. “The SA government needs to inform its stakeholders that China’s rise is inevitable and we should not avoid engaging China effectively on the trade front. “Concentrating only on defensive positions, on how to limit China’s impact, is counter-productive, and will ensure that the Sino-SA relationship remains skewed in ways that suit the Chinese economy far more than that of SA.” 10 | FRIDAY October 22 2010 FOCUS FAR EAST Maersk adds fuel to emission reduction programme Reducing carbon emissions is high on the agenda for all shipping lines – but another issue gaining attention is the emission of sulphur oxides (SOx) and fine particles into the air. “While shipping is energy-efficient, more can be done on SOx emissions,” says a Maersk Line spokesman. “In line with our strategy for sustainability and reducing the impact of shipping on both the environment and in the communities we operate, Maersk Line has become the first to commit to the voluntary fuel switch programme in Hong Kong,” he explained. “In support of the ‘Fair Winds Charter’ signed on September 7, all Maersk Line vessels will be using low-sulphur fuel in their engines while at berth in Hong Kong,” the spokesman said. This scheme is the first of its kind in Asia. With 850 port calls in Hong Kong every year, this switch will reduce Maersk Line’s Sox emissions and particulate matter while berthed at this port by at least 80%. “It’s all part of the line’s commitment to a greener planet.” The Elly Maersk’s hull is further streamlined below the waterline with a newly developed paint, saving an estimated 1 200 tonnes of bunker fuel per year. Inflation within target range Inflation is expected to remain within its target range for the next two years, according to the South African Reserve Bank (SARB). In its October Monetary Policy Review released last week, the SARB said the central projection of the baseline forecast shows that inflation is expected to reach a low point of 3.7% in the third quarter of 2010. The target range is between 3 and 6%. Inflation is expected to remain within the target range until the end of the forecast period, averaging 4.8% in 2011 and measuring 5.1% in the final quarter of 2012, according to BuaNews.

For China, investing in African infrastructure unlocks natural resources and provides a pressurevalve for excess Chinese capacity. Throughout Africa, Chinese companies are capitalising on a proven ability to provide costeffective infrastructure solutions. “Meanwhile,” the Freemantle/ Stevens report said, “national, largely private sector, champions from India and Brazil are gaining elevated traction, bolstered by wider diplomatic African engagement strategies and inspired by deepening commercial linkages.” There is no disputing the need for upgrading Africa’s infrastructure stock. It’s important to analyse how integrated the Brics are in supporting this crucial process and to offer insights into which Bric institutions are currently leading (and likely to lead) the charge, they added.

That’s the view of Stanbic and Standard Bank economics duo, Simon Freemantle and Jeremy Stevens. “Africa will never genuinely connect to the world without meaningful upgrades in its infrastructure stock,” the pair said in their latest update. “The deficit is enormous (even relative to low-income countries), and growth-penalising.” And, given the depth and importance of this pursuit, the two stressed that fresh avenues of finance, expertise and cooperation were critical. “Increasingly,” they added, “the Bric economies, particularly China, are offering vital impetus to the negotiation of Africa’s infrastructure dilemma.” SA (PTY) LTD International Consolidation Services Sea & Air Sea & Air Bric helps address Africa’s infrastructure challenges 0861 237 111 www.cfrfreight.co.za 12 | FRIDAY October 22 2010 FOCUS FAR EAST Bilateral trade with China will exceed $10.8bn this year ‘Africa’s growth is tracking that of China’ By Liesl Venter In almost every corner of Africa there is something that interests China, writes BBC journalist Adam Blenford. “There is copper to mine in Zambia, iron ore to extract in Gabon and oil to refine in Angola. In other countries less blessed by natural resources, Chinese companies have spied trading and investment opportunities.” Trade between China and African countries is expected to exceed $100 billion in 2010 with bilateral trade in some instances having risen by up to 65%. According to the Chinese Trade Ministry, more than 1600 Chinese companies are currently investing in Africa in the mining, trade, agriculture, construction and industrial sectors. While China has a long involvement with Africa going back to the early days of independence movements in the 1960s and before, the role of the East in Africa is on the rise. “With China growing at 12% per annum the rise of the East has been phenomenal,” says Nicky Weimair, senior Nedbank economist. “Africa’s growth is definitely tracking what is happening in the East, and therefore exports and production on the continent is increasing due to the investment and development that is happening.” In South Africa, seen by the East as the gateway into Africa, bilateral trade with China will exceed $10.8bn this year, officially becoming the country’s largest trading partner. Africa’s need for infrastructure, communications and power is well met by China, whose interest in the continent’s mineral resources cannot be under-estimated. Increasingly, the strategic interests of China and Africa are inextricably linked, says the World Economic Forum. Africa must, however, prove it is a reliable, predictable trade partner and attractive destination for investment, while China must listen to what Africa wants. “The challenge is to define clearly with China China wants raw materials ... but for Africa beneficiation is crucial. what we want and the direction of investment. Africa now needs to set the agenda much more energetically,” said Rob Davies, Minister of Trade and Industry of South Africa earlier this year. “China wants raw materials, but for Africa to benefit we must grow beyond suppliers of dirt out of the ground that goes somewhere else to be processed.” Research shows that Africa’s growth is tracking that of China. Chinese demand – either real or perceived – and relatively buoyant commodity prices are underpinning growth in sub-Saharan Africa, says the World Economic Forum. Part of China’s growth will depend on Africa’s ability to supply commodities. As a result, China and Africa’s relationship is changing from one where contracts were drafted and signed by African leaders to a true partnership, reflecting a strategic relationship in which Africa is increasingly engaged. “We have to understand China’s priorities and use them to our advantage. Structuring mutually beneficial economic relations is what it is about. It is in the interests of both parties to move forward,” says Davies. ‘A market not to be ignored’ By Liesl Venter As Africa continues to attract major business from the Far East, having the necessary capacity is becoming increasingly important. According to Kitty Hewitt of Botswana Consolidators, who is licensed to move bonded cargo, the company has formed very close associations and partnerships with Durbanbased companies, bringing cargo in from the Far East destined for various African markets.

The Tanjung Pelepas call is also expected to open up opportunities and improved access for Indian and Southern African cargo into the Horn of Africa. The Horn of Africa service, introduced in July this year, currently calls Tanjung Pelepas, Jebel Ali, Dijoubouti, Jeddah and Port Sudan. “This service can be used to connect cargo from either India (on the Chennai Express service) or South Africa (on Safari) to Tanjung Pelepas and then into the ports in the Middle East and the Horn of Africa.” The Middle East - South Africa trade is currently served by the weekly MESA service which calls Salalah, Jebel Ali, Bandar Abbas and JNPT (India).

And the stronger rand has made it even more attractive to South Roland Raath … ‘Importers have struggled to get to grips with landing costs.’ African importers. “This market climbed to dizzy heights in 2005 to 2007 before flattening at the end of 2008 and tumbling down in 2009 with a mild recovery into early 2010,” says Raath. “Market volatility as well as rate volatility means staying in touch with trends on a monthly rather than quarterly basis.” Over the past ten years fuel and bunker charges have added almost 40% to ocean and air rates while airfreight security costs further complicate the issue, says Raath. Which is why importers have struggled to get to grips with landing costs. “The traditional ocean freight peak season surcharge complicates the market as importers face a seasonal surcharge of as much as 20% of the freight rate. This spikes costs upwards towards August of each year and plays havoc with landing costs.” A regular and consistent importer should benefit from a consistent and set rate for the full year, says Raath. “But loyalty seems to carry no weight in the market – in particular around peak period.” While the downturn in volumes over the past 24 months recovered marginally in early 2010, this was short-lived, says Raath. “It’s evident that company fortunes lost over the past few years will take longer to recover – but thanks to intense sales initiatives the past 18 months have been record months for us.” The ocean freight market has slowed down, rates have softened and space is available while a fairly steady rate pattern has been evident for airfreight, although capacity is under pressure. The golden rule is never to take your eyes off the rates because they’re constantly on the move.

Perhaps we are in a fortunate niche where FCL turns into LCL business.” Strong volumes from China may also be related to the upcoming festive season, with people stocking up early because of the strong rand, says Keck. Whatever the reason, the volumes are good – and CFR’s direct services cover the region comprehensively, serving Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Xiamen, Shanghai, Ningbo, Qingdao, Tianjin and Guangzhou from China as well as other direct services from Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Singapore and Thailand. Director Peter SchmidtLöffler believes an aggressive sales drive has been a large contributor to the company’s success in retaining and securing business. “We’ve been pushing on sales and focusing strongly on customer service.” Rate and service stability are crucial, says Keck. “While shipping lines may be dropping rates because of capacity issues, our focus is on providing a stable service and offering clients added value features like speedy documentation and data flow through EDI.” The last three months of the year are traditionally very strong months, says Schmidt-Löffler, and this year is expected to be no different. “On the export side it’s less to do with the Christmas rush but rather related to the builders’ holidays affecting the manufacturing industry as well,” says Keck. “People are emptying their warehouses before December 15.” Looking back on the Peter Schmidt-Löffler ... ‘Pushing on sales and focusing strongly on customer service.’ year as a whole, business has been better than expected – and both Keck and Schmidt-Löffler are confident of more of the same for 2011.

As The GSA for Cathay Pacific Cargo/Courier the company understands the challenges and complexities of doing business in the region, says Forbes. “The main challenges are protocol and bureaucracy. What is important is to always make sure that you are on top of the many changes that happen in a very short time frame in many ports in the Far East. These changes are driven by local customs authorities and can seriously hamper the transit times and the handling of shipments. Having local people who speak the language and specialists who are experts on customs rulings is critical to managing these challenges.” Forbes believes that the Far East will continue to show positive growth in the year to come. “We have already Martine Forbes ... ‘Make sure that you are on top of the many changes.’ opened new offices in the region this year to keep up with the growth and market diversification. The opening up of new ports in Hangzhou, Xiamen and several offices in Asia and Vietnam is paying off with volumes on these new routes both in and out of the Far East already picking up.” Emerging markets, especially in the East, are showing huge resilience following the massive global economic downturn of 2009 and are expected to see growth in the region of 6% and more in the next few years. According to Yves Zlotowski, chief economist for the Coface Group, this is phenomenally high compared to world economic growth, which is expected to be in the region of 3.5%. “Emerging Asia has had a very low level of debt and therefore has no leverage problems and is showing major growth. One must not forget that while they were not as badly affected by the 2009 recession as the US or UK for example, they have had their own share of problems. They have been in recession before. Their ability for resistance is very good and positive,” says Zlotowski. He said Asia for the most part had been given very positive ratings by Coface, as the countries are extremely stable. Zlotowski believes that the 2009 financial crisis brought some major changes to the world with China and India playing a much more important role than ever before. “We will also see the US economy return to growth, but at a different rate. People will be saving more and spending less and that will impact on the role the emerging markets play.” Does your current Service Provider offer you … • 24 / 7 Support • Free initial training • Free integrations • Free developments • Installation at no charge • Guarantee on your Customs entry • All public information including; Maybe it’s time to change? • Exchange Rates, Customs Tariffs, Permit requirements and more • A team of 80 • Complete Transparency Listed on the JSE since 1998 www.compu-clearing.co.za Contact our helpdesk on 011 012 8700 or [email protected] Terms and Conditions apply FTW4931 18 | FRIDAY October 22 2010 FOCUS FAR EAST IT plays key role as SA gains traction as an assembly port By Alan Peat With the markets in the developed countries still under post-crisis pressure, Africa’s emerging markets are starting to draw the world’s eyes, according to Nachi Mendelow, sales and marketing manager with systems specialists CompuClearing. “This is true with all established markets,” he told FTW, “and is especially pronounced in terms of trade with the Far East. As cargo into Africa increases, so too does South Africa’s desirability as a cross-trade and assembly port.” Another factor which is increasing this attraction is that SA’s ports and infrastructure compare favourably with other African countries. So goods are often “These,” said Mendelow, “include rebates on duties as well as on local parts used in the assembly.” A point that must be remembered is that goods may not remain in-bond for longer than two years without being cleared – unless special permission has been received. “It is therefore vital that goods in the bonded warehouse are carefully monitored to ensure that all goods are cleared as needed,” Mendelow said, “and that they don’t overstay their allowed duration.” Compu-Clearing offers systems to facilitate all these activities. All required documents can also be produced – along with any items imported as bonded warehouse entries being automatically integrated into the Compu-Clearing Bonded first landed in this country, and then transported onwards by road. These goods normally remain in bond, without duties being paid on them, and are at a later stage transported out of SA. “Special customs documents need to be produced to notify SA Revenue Services (Sars) about these entries,” said Mendelow. “Another scenario that can occur is that duties are paid on the goods as they arrive in SA. When these goods are then exported, a refund claim procedure is done, in order to recover the paid duties.” Certain strategic initiatives have also been undertaken to make this country an attractive and advantageous location for part and goods assembly.

Evidence of this was the arrival in South Africa earlier this month of managing director of Far East agent NAC Asia, Christos Spyrou, who is also chairman of the company’s international agency network, the Air Cargo Group, of which CFR is a board member. Spyrou was in South Africa for a week-long sales visit to Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban. CFR currently offers airfreight services out of 12 Chinese origins – and NAC has offices in all of those origin cities, general manager – airfreight, Dave Graham, told FTW. It’s a true supply and demand market, says Graham, with capacity tending to be almost a commodity and rates fluctuating dramatically. SA importers don’t understand the concept of rates fluctuating on a daily or weekly basis but that’s what we deal with. The Chinese tend to be very focused on their big export markets – being Europe and the US – and don’t understand the SA market need for rate stability. “For us we’re in the fortunate position of having a very good agent with a good line of communication. We try to tackle new business in a two-pronged manner. We target the importer on this side and will put NAC in contact with the exporting forwarder on the other side, a system that tends to work very well. “We believe it’s vital that both sides are talking to each other and talking the same language.” An additional advantage is NAC’s capacity agreements with preferred carriers in Asia, says Graham. “Although the lane is extremely prone to capacity shortages we hold our own because of these capacity Dave Graham ... ‘Expecting to see significant growth in the year ahead.’ agreements that are able to see us through peak demand like the World Cup.” According to Graham the Chinese route has shown better signs of stabilising in the past few months than the likes of Europe and the US. “China was very heavily hit by the volcano because a lot of cargo is transhipped in Europe. It was also massively impacted by the World Cup because DUR DES MBA DJIB HFA Durban: 031- 534 3300 Johannesburg: 011- 324 1000 NORTHBOUND (EXPORT) SCHEDULE NJK 71/N FXT 13/N NJK 72/N FXT 14/N 22/10 14/11 13/12 05/01 26/10 18/11 17/12 09/01 29/10 21/11 20/12 12/01 10/11 03/12 01/01 24/01 17/11 09/12 08/01 31/01 HFA DJIB MBA DUR SOUTHBOUND (IMPORT) SCHEDULE FXT 12/S NJK 71/S FXT 13/S NJK 72/S 21/10 11/11 10/12 09/01 26/10 23/11 16/12 14/01 04/11 03/12 26/12 24/01 11/11 10/12 02/01 31/01 FXT = AFRICA STAR NJK = NOvOROSSIySK STAR REGULAR TWO-WAy CONTAINER SERvICE INCLUDING REEFERS TO/FROM ISRAEL SERvING, MOMBASA, DIJBOUTI, BLACK SEA, MEDITERRANEAN, EAST AND SOUTH AFRICAN PORTS vIA HAIFA FTW4940 Clearing Support Services leading innovators Feature 2010 Visions of the Next Decade of NuClear: Publication date: 3 December 2010 Booking deadline: 29 October 2010 • Total integration with 3rd party programmes • Enormous time saving • Customisation of the programme to suit your business requirements • Minimum data capturing with interlinking of modules Clearing Support Services To promote your services contact www.clearlink.co.za Tel: (011) 913-4420 FTW4720 everything from soccer jerseys to plastic toys was coming out of China. But China was also the origin that seemed to recover first – just in time for the start of the traditional year-end peak season. “In a nutshell, it’s a lane in which we are investing, in which NAC is investing and where we expect to see significant growth in the year ahead.” Domestic contamination scandals in China over recent years, have placed renewed government focus on improving food safety standards. But while China has recently introduced a food safety act, traditionally quality management systems, food standards and hygiene levels have often fallen short of required standards. According to risk manager and insurance broker Aon, for companies doing business with Chinese food suppliers, whether they are foreign or Chinese themselves, it is vital that supplied produce undergoes a strict quality management process and that firms not only agree to food safety standards but monitor their implementation. It’s also vital to establish a recall plan in case a recall does have to be instituted and consider taking out an insurance programme for the risk of product contamination.

This has been supported mainly by China’s continued appetite for steel production even during the tough times of the past couple of years. “Steel production recovered globally from late 2009 – and more so in 2010,” said his manganese exports’ case study commissioned by Dry Cargo International. “China still produced significant increases even in 2009, so SA exports of manganese ore weathered the global crisis quite well. “It also looks set to increase volumes further in 2010 and into the future.” SA clearly has a big advantage in the supply of this mineral. It is one of only a few suppliers of this valuable ore – and boasts some 80% of global reserves. “Demand over the period 2010-2015 looks likely to provide significant volume growth,” said McIntosh. But there are challenges, he added. Like most bulk resource in this country, its mining sources are a considerable distance from the ports – with all the cost disadvantages of long-haul landside transport. “It requires a good supply chain to port to keep down the free-on-board (FOB) costs,” said McIntosh. There are three main producers – Samancor (BHP), Assmang and United Manganese of Kalahari. The ore is mined in the north-west of the country in what has been named the Kalahari Manganese Field (KMF) – and despatched by train from Hotazel through either Port Elizabeth or Durban as the shipment points. For local steel production needs, some of the ore is also moved by road to Johannesburg. Volumes are set to reach over five-million tonnes this year. Whilst Durban moves around one-million tonnes (mt), with about 15% containerised, the main gateway for bulk exports remains through the Port Elizabeth manganese bulk terminal – which, at about 1 100-kilometres, is closer to the mining area. “The efficiency of this specific supply chain is critical in terms of the volume growth of this product from SA,” McIntosh said. “And the essential driver for available tonnage of exports is a good rail system.” The Transnet Freight Rail (TFR) network supplies capacity for 4.6-mt per annum. The port of PE handled 3.2-mt of bulk ore during 2009 and is expected to exceed 3.5-mt this year. “So,” said McIntosh, “there is room for further growth in port volume given the rail capacity available. “However, that available rail capacity begins to look tight if you look at the short-term demands for ore exports. Volumes are set to reach over five-million tonnes this year. Manganese Production and Export ‘000 tonnes Year 2005 2006 2007 Production 4612 5213 5995 Export 2119 2646 2008 3691 200 2010 [E] 6806 5800 7000 4800 4200 5000 Source: DME/Transnet Samancor (BHP) ... One of three major manganese producers. “Mine capacity is currently restricted to around six to seven million tonnes a year. But the demand in the shorter term is more in the region of 14-mt.” A number of developments are under way to realise this potential, McIntosh told FTW. At the rail loading end, a rapid load-out station installed by Bateman Engineered Technologies (BET) is just part of an overall plan to improve efficiencies. Aside from accurate load distribution, the station has a design capacity to load 2 000-tonnes per hour (t/h) – and a 104-wagon train can be turned in just over three hours. But, said McIntosh, in practice it has been found that the station actually has a capacity to load 7000-t/h. Meantime, the PE bulk terminal has had an upgrade costing the equivalent of over R380.8-m in the last 18-months. It has a 251metre berth of 11.6-m draught fed by two loaders each with 400-600-t/h capacity. Therefore, with its 460 000-t stockpile capacity, the terminal can work Handy-sized vessels of 35 00045 000-deadweight (DWT) capacity – with an average port stay of one and a half to two days. ‘Mining sources are a considerable distance from the ports – with all the cost disadvantages of long-haul landside transport.’ But, with its 14-metre draught, the newly opened port of Ngqura in the Eastern Cape (27-kms from PE) is also now being favoured by Transnet as an alternative. The deeper draught would allow larger vessels to be handled, and there is also berth capacity to handle more than one vessel. Ngqura should be ready to take on bulk loading of manganese ore by 2015. “At the same time,” said McIntosh, “a feasibility study is under way on using the Sishen-Saldanha iron ore line (824-kms) and the west coast bulk iron ore terminal as an alternative. “This route has the benefit of much larger capacity trains. But, given the huge demands to increase iron ore exports through this gateway, the study may find this option is not straightforward.” He also indicated that the capital expenditure (Capex) involved to develop all these options was significant. “It may have to involve a private sector partnership – which Transnet seems keen to develop.” With considerable growth likely over the next few years, the key to success will ultimately be rail network development to feed an already solid port gateway infrastructure. “Upward potential for export demand could reach over 14-mt per annum by 2015,” said McIntosh, “given the increased demand for steel production in China, Japan, Korea, and a recovery in demand in Europe.” FTW2033SD 24 | FRIDAY October 22 2010 Maputo plays key role for Far East shippers Direct callers make the difference By Liesl Venter The Port of Maputo in Mozambique is as important in the southern African context as the Port of Durban itself. Following major developments in recent years, the port is widely regarded as the fifth South African corridor. According to Brenda Horne, CEO of the Maputo Corridor Logistics Imitative, it is the ideal gateway to the Far East and with the growth being experienced it is finally coming into its own. Transnet Freight Rail acting CEO Tau Morwe agrees. He says that while Transnet is not investing much of its five-year capital expenditure budget on the Maputo Corridor, it remains an important part of the South African mix. He says TFR is continuously looking at which commodities and products can be moved through the Maputo port as rail operators have much value to add in developing the corridor by increasing the number of trains. Rail operators from Swaziland and South Africa have continuously reiterated their commitment to the Maputo corridor as it is seen as an answer to bringing down the cost of transporting goods in the Southern African region, while boosting regional economic growth says Horne. “We have seen substantial growth in containers at the Maputo Port which is seeing ships calling directly from the Far East.” Experts believe the Maputo port will come into its own some three years down the line. With an estimated investment of around $800-million dollars over the next five years, more is expected in years to come. “The dredger also arrived two weeks ago,” says Horne, “and it is currently in action in the port.” The dredging operation will deepen the port to allow fully laden Panamax vessels to be handled regardless of tidal conditions – a move that will see its competitiveness in terms of bulk and container traffic increase dramatically. With ports and terminals being very strategic assets, investment pay-off is more often than not seen immediately. In the case of Maputo, experts believe the port will come into its own some three years down the line, offering services especially to the Far East, that most will not be able to ignore. • Airfreight • Ocean Freight • International Forwarding WAREHOUSING AVAILABLE • 7 500m2 warehouse space • Specialising in FMCG goods • 500 pallet positions • 15 loading bays • Refrigeration facilities • 24 hours surveillance JAS Forwarding S.A.

Consumer product safety can never be under-estimated as it has far reaching effects. Defective imports from the East are not necessarily ‘All children’s products must be tested and certified.’ FTW2051SD a new phenomenon, but it has increasingly become important for importers to ensure there are measures in place to safeguard the millions of consumers across the globe who are increasingly dependent on manufactured goods from the East. According to Edie Tolkin, an American-based consumer product safety expert, the US recently upgraded legislation for all imports from China. “The new Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act is a very good basis and measurement for countries to use when looking at their own legislation. Product safety is a critical issue, and has stemmed from product recalls over the past several years for products from China. These include toxic plastics and other chemicals in baby bottles, baby formula, cribs, playpens and other baby carrier issues. Lead levels in children’s toys and flammability problems in garments have all been noted,” says Tolkin. “Sooner or later I can see this becoming a very important issue for manufacturing worldwide.” She says it is important that importers ensure all products brought into a country, especially from China, are safe. “All products should be tested and must adhere to very specific regulations.” She advises companies to employ a Chinese translator. “That way you can be sure the factory understands exactly what the needs and requirements are before manufacturing begins.” There is no doubt that the stakes are extremely high when looking at Chinese manufacturing. With billions of dollars invested in China, contractors producing goods for export are under tremendous pressure to produce vast amounts of product quickly. “Safety must, however, never be compromised,” says Tolkin. “All children’s products, for example, must be tested and certified. The health and safety of millions of consumers lies in the balance should substandard products be brought into a country.” China, on the other hand, having faced some serious international scrutiny, has in recent years implemented measures to clean up the manufacturing of exported goods. Tolkin says knowing the rules and regulations of the origin and destination countries is critical. “Learn about your own country’s safety regulations and import policies, but also know the rules and regulations of the manufacturing country from which you are exporting. Every country has different regulations. It is important to build up a trustworthy relationship throughout the supply chain that includes the freight forwarder and the customs broker.” 26 | FRIDAY October 22 2010 INCOLEARN Learning more about Incoterms®2010 PART I – Introducing Incoterms®2010 EXW FCA CPT CIP DAT DAP DDP FAS FOB CFR CIF Incoterms is the abbreviation for International Commercial Terms, generally known or referred to as trade terms, which are used by contracting parties in international contracts of sale but not in contracts of carriage. Their application and use in an international contract of sale is to define: •The roles of the contracting parties in respect of the carriage of the goods; •The responsibility for the export and import clearance; and •The explanation of the division of costs and risks between the contracting parties. The International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) first created and coined the word “Incoterms” in 1936, although its development started in 1919. “This undisputed worldwide contractual standard” has been subject to regular reviews and updates over the years in order to take account of developments in international trade. The last update was introduced on 01 January 2000, resulting in the creation of what is known as “Incoterms 2000”. (Please consult the ICC publication. Earlier versions of Incolearn can also be requested in hardcopy or accessed on www.ftwonline.co.za.) The lastest version of Incoterms, which will be known as “Incoterms®2010” (it is now trademarked) will enter into force on 01 January 2011. The two obvious questions are no doubt what the changes are, and if these are significant. The answer to the first question is evident in the subtitle of Incoterms®2010 which reads “ICC Rules for the use of Domestic and International Trade Terms”. Secondly, there are no longer four categories or groups i.e. E-terms, F-terms, C-terms, and D-terms are now replaced with two distinct classes – “Rules for any Mode or Modes of Transport” and “Rules for Sea and Inland Waterway Transport”. The Incoterms have been reduced to 11 from 13, with four Incoterms having been deleted and two new Incoterms added. The 3-letter Incoterms are Ex Works (EXW), Free Carrier (FCA), Carriage Paid to (CPT), Carriage and Insurance Paid to (CIP), Delivered at Terminal (DAT), Delivered at Place (DAP), Delivered Duty Paid (DDP), Free Alongside Ship (FAS), Free on Board (FOB), Cost and Freight (CFR), and Cost Insurance and Freight (CIF). The first seven Incoterms are “Rules for any Mode or Modes of Transport” while the last four Incoterms are “Rules for Sea and Inland Waterway Transport”. As to how to use the Incoterms®2010 rules, the ICC suggests that you: • Incorporate the Incoterms®2010 rules into contracts of sale; • Choose the appropriate Incoterms®2010 rules; • Specify the place or port as precisely as possible; and • Remember that Incoterms®2010 do not give a complete contract of sale.

Airlines face charges for emission permits from 2012 A global deal on emissions curbs by airlines will allow the European Union (EU) to press ahead with plans to charge airlines for emissions permits from 2012, the European Commission (EC) said. Aviation is responsible for around 2% of the world’s carbon emissions. Eskom commits to rail migration strategy ‘Still maritime adviser’ Majority of coal will switch by 2018 By Liesl Venter Eskom is committed to reducing the movement of its coal on South Africa’s roads dramatically in the next five years. According to Suzanne Daniels, the parastatal currently moves about 33 million tons of coal per annum by road to supply some six power stations in the country. “We have committed to a migration strategy that will see less than six million tons being moved by road by no later than 2018.” Speaking at the Transport Forum in Johannesburg last week, Daniels said it was extremely important for Eskom to move to a rail programme. “Some 1100 trips are undertaken every day by a fleet of 1086 trucks. We plan to reduce the number of trucks to around 600 as the majority of coal Suzanne Daniels ... ‘Cost of road too high to sustain.’ must be on rail by 2018.” She said in October the Camden power station in Mpumalanga, which has exclusively been receiving coal by road, saw its first train load arrive proving that the strategy was not just on track but that the power utility had committed to the project. “We have involved Transnet Freight Rail extensively in this programme. The Treasury has committed money to the migration programme on condition that Eskom and TFR sign a formal agreement that will see the migration strategy successfully implemented.” Daniels said the longterm strategy to address the movement of coal to power stations in the country was first approved in 2008 when it was identified that rail would be the solution. Since then the Road to Rail Migration Strategy has been drawn up. This document highlights exactly how Eskom plans to reduce the movement of 33 million tons of coal to some 6 million per year. “We know that we have some challenges to still overcome and that it will take time, but this is no longer a choice. If we continue to use road the cost will just be too high to sustain.” She said with poor road infrastructure the coal haulage network of some 1400km of road is in need of upgrading. “Should a damaged road be left for five years or longer it costs some 18 times more to repair it. The decision to use rail really comes down to the fact that it costs more to move by road and therefore costs more to produce power and therefore the consumer pays more for electricity.” She said road transporters were very much involved in the programme along with all the affected communities in an effort to ensure that people are ready for the move when it comes and not caught off guard and left without employment or an income. The modern day frequency of job changing tends to leave a few communication links missing. One such communication glitch was caused by maritime lawyer, Tony Norton, changing his business abode from lawyers Garlicke & Bousfield to Edward, Nathan, Sonnenbergs (ENS). A question expressed by some FTW readers was: “What does this mean about him being legal adviser to the SA shipping industry? Is he still in that position?” FTW was immediately in touch with Norton, and his reply was: “As far as I know they haven’t chucked me yet.” EUKOR – FAR EAST / WEST AFRICA VESSEL MORNING CHORUS MORNING MIRACLE VOY 038 067 XIN SLD 05/11 SHA SLD 07/11 SIN 17/10 14/11 DBN 30/10 27/11 LUA 06/11 04/12 POI - DOU - LAG 12/11 10/12 TEA 15/11 15/12 ABI 17/11 17/12 SIN 09/12 09/01 YOK - MOJI - SIN SLD 09/11 COL - DBN 25/10 23/11 DAR - MOM - SIN 03/11 - ULS 12/11 13/12 NAG SHA SIN DBN LUA VTO SAN MDV SIN ZAR - DBN 26/10 27/11 PKG - SIN 09/11 10/12 CHB 17/11 18/12 PYU 20/11 22/12 ULS 22/11 24/12 EUKOR – FAR EAST / SOUTH/EAST AFRICA VESSEL TANCRED TOPAZ ACE VOY 045 005 ULS SLD 01/11 NAG - EUKOR – FAR EAST / SOUTH AMERICA VESSEL VOY PYU ULS EUKOR - SOUTH AMERICA / AFRICA / FAR EAST VESSEL MORNING CHAMPION GLORIOUS LEADER VOY 053 008 SIN SLD SLD VTO SLD 07/11 SAN SLD 12/11 MVD SLD 15/11 GENERAL AGENTS JOHANNESBURG DURBAN CAPE TOWN PORT ELIZABETH RICHARDS BAY SALDANHA BAY www.diamondship.co.za (011) 883-1561 (031) 570-7800 (021) 419-2734 (041) 373-1187/373-1399 (035) 789-0437 (022) 714-3449 FTW4707 ABI BAH CHA CHB DAK DAM DBN DES DOH DOU FRE - HUA JEB KOB KWA - Abidjan Bahrain Channai Chiba Xng-China Dakar, Senegal Dammam Durban Dar es Salaam Doha,Qatar Douala, Camaroon FremantleAustralia Huangpu, China Jebel Ali Kpbe, Japan Kwanngyang, Korea LAG LIB LOB LOM - LUA LYG MAP MAS MDV MOJ MOM MON NAG NGY OMN PDG - Lagos Libreville Lobito, Angola Lome, Togo PYUPyaungtaek Luanda Lianyungang Maputo Masan Montevideo Moji, Japan Mombasa Monrovia, Liberia Nagoya Nagoya Oman Reunion PKG - Port Kelang PKL - Port Kelang POI - Pointe Noire, Congo REU - Reuniun SAN - Santos SHA - Shanghai China SHJ - Sharjah SIN - Singapore TAM - Tamatave TEA - Tema TOY - Toyohashi ULS - Ulsan VTO - Vitoria YOK - Yokohama ZAR - Zarate Argentina XIN - Xingang, China 28 | FRIDAY October 22 2010 which is a requirement of our global multinational clients who are committed to reducing cargo emissions,” he said. “With own-controlled capacity, competitive pricing and quick retrieval times through our facility adjacent to OR Tambo International Airport, the service allows us to offer tailor-made solutions for specific industries, including a fully integrated cool chain solution particularly suited to the pharmaceutical industry,” says Hartmann.

We have addressed most of these – and things are improving on a daily basis.” But, some users were adamant that no communication had reached their ears, and the suggestion was made that it was possible that the cargo carrier had been in touch with its major customers, but that the hundreds of smaller airfreight operations had been neglected. Hoyle said that the company understood the frustration of customers as a result of the delays. “And we also apologise for the inconvenience. We assure you that all teething problems will soon be a thing of the past.” The airline had also taken note of complaints from users about the length of time taken for them to be attended to at SAA Cargo offices. “We have currently made arrangements to set up additional counters to minimise the delays,” said Hoyle. “We also have a dedicated team that is working around the clock to ensure that our customers’ needs are addressed.” Reports reached FTW from frustrated shippers about direct cargo consignments taking mysteriously roundabout routes and cargoes getting bumped at foreign airports as many as three times on the trot. Hopefully Hoyle is correct and the system glitches have now been ironed out. and light repairs to damaged containers, monitoring of reefer temperatures and pre-trip inspection. Through road and rail collaboration, road transporters can deliver and collect containers directly from Belcon. “This allows for truckers to increase the number of loads per truck per day, as they no longer have to be delayed in traffic congestion and stand in long queues at the port and other service points in the logistics chain. “Containers are shuttled from Belcon to the port (30km) at set times that coincide with the port’s off-peak hours. This allows for trains to be offloaded and reloaded during the dead shift, spreading the landside workload evenly over a 24-hour period,” Simelane said. BUNKER WATCH (Fuel Prices) October 5 $478 This week No prices available $ Per Metric Ton This week saw the launch by Safcor Panalpina of a weekly own-controlled airfreight service from Luxembourg to Johannesburg using a Boeing 747-400F aircraft with 105-ton capacity. It follows the signing of an ACMI multi-year lease agreement (Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance, Insurance) between the logistics major’s global partner Panalpina and Atlas Air. Working with Panalpina World Transport, the weekly inbound service will connect from the USA and Far East via Luxembourg and Dubai respectively, Richard Hartmann, product and procurement air at Safcor Panalpina told FTW. “The modern aircraft is designed for abnormal sized loads and is fuel-efficient, Transnet Freight Rail has launched a new terminal in the Western Cape – Belcon Terminal – designed to act as an inland nucleus hub, serving as an extension of the Port of Cape Town for consolidation of containers on rail. “Belcon allows exporters to have their containers closer to the port of loading ensuring that there is minimal possibility of short shipments. Imports are simply an inverse of this process as TFR provides bi-directional rail traffic flow of block loads between the Port of Cape Town and Belcon,” TFR spokesman Sandile Simelane told FTW.
