Seafreight rates firm as demand risesBY Alan Peat

Shipping lines have happily reported to FTW that seafreight rates are tending to stabilise or even climb, but forwarders are accusing them of manipulating the supply/demand ratio.

The lines have made no secret of the fact that, throughout the last year, they have been cutting their vessel capacity. And they are now happy to admit that this big downward adjustment in space supply has inevitably seen rates firming or even increasing.

One line on the Far East trade, although it remained unnamed, was quite open in admitting that information had been released in recent times acknowledging that it had cut 11 vessels from its fleet.

“And this reduced capacity compared to demand,” FTW was told, “has given us reason for increased freight rates.

“Space is very much in demand just now, and our

westbound ships into SA are sailing 100% full at a time of the year when we normally see a slump.”

Our commentator attributed most of this extra inbound trade to boosting inventories prior to the 2010 Soccer World Cup.

David Williams, MD of Maersk Line, agreed.

“Certainly,” he told FTW, “in the Far East trade the markets, both in and out, are firming up. And where we can go for general rates increases (GRIs) we will.”

But, he added, it has to be remembered that seafreight rates are still well below what they were in 2008 – prior to the big economic crunch.

Margrit Wolff, MD of Buffalo Freight Systems, confirmed this two-way Far East trade increase – and she also suggested a lot of the “extraordinary increase” in rates had been due to capacity cuts by the lines.

But Wolff also told FTW that there had been a lot of increased demand – with a

particular focus on China. Much of the big increase in exports from Africa to China she attributed to growing demand for raw materials – minerals and the like – as Chinese industry continued to bump up production output.

“On import trade it has to be remembered that China has massive capital projects in Africa, and has to supply these,” she said. “I have also heard some hints from the shipping industry that this is likely to see a huge capacity increase soon.”

Meanwhile, there have been no big changes in trade with the US and Europe, according to our commentators.

Glen Delve, Durban-based marketing manager for Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC), told FTW that there was no shortage of space out of Europe, for example, and that his line’s attitude was that rates would remain stable. “No big ups or downs,” he added.

Read about how the industry is responding to the recent launch of a new cargo screening system which sees highly trained

dogs detecting explosives and other contraband from a sample of air taken from a cargo container. See page 4.

Relief Assistance – A Customs PerspectiveWith the human tragedy in Haiti and the subsequent dispatch of international aid and assistance one could easily overlook the customs ramifications. The following publications have however been issued to deal with the customs and trade facilitation aspects:

The first was the World Customs Organisation (WCO) “Humanitarian Assistance” and the second the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies’ “Introduction to the Guidelines for the Domestic Facilitation and Regulation of International Disaster Relief and Initial Recovery Assistance”.

The WCO’s Main Priorities for 2010Early in January, at the invitation of the European Union (EU), the Secretary General of WCO, Kunio

Transnet CEO posts await finalisation of Gama hearingBy Alan Peat

There are still no permanent chief executives at either Transnet Freight Rail (TFR) or Transnet Port Terminals (TPT) – and there won’t be until the internal disciplinary hearing against former TFR CE Siyabonga Gama is completed, according to information released to FTW by Transnet.

And an expected date for the end of the hearing – currently being adjudicated by an independent, external arbitrator – is just as elusive, although

firm promises were made that FTW would be informed when it reached its final day.

Gama is facing disciplinary action over alleged irregularities in a locomotive deal and the awarding of a separate contract to General Nyanda Security Advisory Services, which is owned by the communications minister, Simpiwe Nyanda.

The public enterprises minister, Barbara Hogan, has already revealed to the press that the R900-million rail contract was for the purchase

of 50 locomotives.Hogan added that, in the

case of the locomotive deal with the Electro-Motive Sibanye Joint Venture, it was alleged that Gama “failed to give effect to a condition determined by the Transnet board in concluding and implementing the contract”.

She said the Electro-Motive Sibanye Joint Venture had been paid about R550-m since the deal was signed in May 2007.

Also according to Hogan, the security company linked to the communications minister

was paid R55-million by Transnet under a contract awarded by Gama. Hogan confirmed that he was authorised to sign off only on contracts worth up

to R10-m.Meantime, Chris Wells,

acting group CE of Transnet (another senior post still awaiting confirmation), has put temporary CEs in place to head up the rail and port terminals operations.

Tau Morwe, the CE of TPT, agreed to act as CE of TFR pending the finalisation of the disciplinary process.

At the same time, Karl Socikwa, Transnet’s group executive (commercial), is acting as interim head for TPT.

The 2009-2010 flower export season is proving dismal, with volumes down dramatically from last year. The Southern Africa Flower Growers’ Association (Safga) is keeping an eye on economic improvements in the key North American and European markets and anticipates increased shipments next year as consumer demand for this luxury item grows along with greater disposable incomes.

“In terms of volumes there is not much

difference to last year, but in terms of revenue 2009 was definitely down on 2008 and we are seeing a bad season overall,” said Rene Schoenmaker, formerly of Safga and now managing director of Bergflora. SA’s flower production season ends in May.

“The 2008-2009 season, when the world recession started, was okay. The effects of the recession were felt a little (by flower exporters) but it was not as bad as anticipated,” Schoenmaker told FTW.

“But September, October and November (2009)

were very different and very difficult. Volumes were reasonably good but prices dropped 35% for some varieties, and 20% overall. This put tremendous pressure on the growers, wholesalers and import/exporters. In some cases the prices fetched this season didn’t cover the growers’ airfreight charges,” he said.

“SA growers have to sell 20% to 40% more to get the same return we had last year,” he said.

But such increased exports are not feasible because as Schoenmaker noted, flower prices have

dropped because of over-supply. Growers shipping more to overly saturated markets where

product languishes unsold because of low consumer demand cannot expect to make sales.

Flower exports record ‘dismal’ seasonVolumes good, but prices down 35% on some varieties

Siyabonga Gama ... decision pending.

‘SA growers have to sell 20% to 40% more to get the same return as had last year.’


With search and rescue teams and emergency relief supplies continuing to flow into earthquake-devastated Haiti, air charter operators have their hands full.

In the past seven days Chapman Freeborn Airchartering’s worldwide offices have overseen the delivery of hundreds of tons of relief cargo from the USA, Europe and the Middle East on behalf of international aid agencies, a spokesman told FTW.

Industry tunes into benefits of dog-detector screening systemScent samples are taken from sealed cargo to the dogs

By Liesl Venter

The implementation of a new system using dogs to clear cargo quickly and more effectively than ever before has attracted growing industry interest.

Contracts have been signed and more are in the pipeline as clients visit the new facilities of ACTS in Kempton Park where the four highly trained dogs are strutting their stuff. ACTS is the JV company operating the system in South Africa on behalf of BIDVest and its partners ICTS Europe,

RASCargO – Remote Air Sampling for Canine Olfaction – is an innovative cargo screening system using highly trained dogs. It started operating in

December last year and is seen as the perfect solution for cargo security clearance, fighting contraband smuggling and spotting explosives.

It uses dogs to detect explosives and other scents, but instead of the dog going to the cargo, scent samples are taken from sealed cargo to the dogs.

“We are bringing clients to the premises weekly to experience first hand the capability of these dogs,” says Eytan Nevo, managing director of ACTS. “Safety and security remains a key priority for the cargo industry and this system is fast, cost-efficient and reliable.”

With a turn-around time of less than a half-hour on

any size container, there is no restriction on where cargo can be inspected. There’s no need for the dogs to be transported to the cargo or for the containers to be broken up or the seals broken.

Nevo says the dogs, which were trained in Holland and France, have adapted to South African conditions extremely well. “We are extremely pleased with the progress we have made and are hoping to expand this programme to Customs and other areas at the OR Tambo International Airport, as well as other airports.”

Nevo says with the ability to screen up to 40 trucks per hour, and using a matrix based on analyses of two dogs, the detection rates are

extremely high.“The process is faster and

definitely more efficient than that of itemising, hand-searching, X-rays and even

using conventional dogs. We believe we are making history and can ensure cargo is safe and secure around the clock.”

The device used to take a sample of the air in the cargo container. The dogs can then sniff explosives and other scents from the small sample.

The SA-Italian Connection Savino Del Bene South Africa - Business Enterprise of the Year Award Finalist

Savino Del Bene South Africa (Pty) Ltd, (SAVINO), global specialist in third party logistics solutions, was

nominated by the Italian-South African Chamber of Trade and Industries FNB Business Excellence Awards 2009 as one of the top five finalists in the category, Business Enterprise of the Year. The annual Awards ‘highlight, recognise and promote the Italian-South African business community’s contribution to the economic growth and development of South Africa’.

“While we don’t wake up each morning thinking about winning awards, I must acknowledge a significant sense of pride when such a moment arises. It is a huge affirmation then to be told we have been selected as one of the top five finalists in the Business Enterprise of the Year category”, says Kobus Maree, Managing Director, Savino Del Bene (SAVINO) South Africa. “I believe that we achieved this accolade not only because of our strong business relationships with numerous Italian companies, but also because we identified and competently filled the gap in the market for a holistic approach to logistics services – to move from transactions into partnerships.”

“This award milestone is of even greater significance due to the fact that we started the company only thirteen years ago under the name SLA (Strategic Logistical Alliance) and only nine months ago, the remaining 50% shareholding was

purchased by the worldwide corporate network, Savino Del Bene”.

“When my wife Juanita and I established SLA in 1996, our first objective was to become the number one third-party logistics service provider. To reach this goal, we aimed to work with the tyre industry to eventually handle the largest volume of imported tyres in South Africa. This we achieved, currently partnering with all the leading imported tyre companies in South Africa”.

SAVINO also achieved their objectives of offering customers an end-to-end third party logistics service and becoming a major player in the automotive industry, handling exports and clearing into South Africa for a number of major vehicle manufacturers. “With all these objectives securely under our belt, I am confident we have proved our capabilities to the local market – we have the established infrastructure, expertise and knowledge to offer an all inclusive end to end logistics shop!”, remarks Kobus.

“When we commenced a 50% partnership with SAVINO in 1999, we worked closely with their team from the start. Therefore very little changed when the remaining equity was sold to SAVINO nine months ago. The few changes that have been introduced are only positive and I can confidently assure all our customers that it’s business as usual at SAVINO”. Kobus explains: “We are in an even

stronger position to take advantage of future opportunities; with 37 countries now officially ours, this expanded infrastructure gives us a substantially larger global footprint. Experience, know-how and our worldwide network of over 170 offices mean that we are as powerful as the biggest industry player while still maintaining the flexibility of the smallest player. In addition, we have established a significantly stronger presence in the freight-forwarding competencies of our logistics service, and have already begun making elaborate inroads to unrivalled mastery in this area”.

“We remain customer driven, continuing to offer tailor-made packages. Our motto ‘customer success’ will never change and we remain committed to ensuring value added services and increasing our customers’ success. It has always been my belief that listening to and understanding the customer’s requirements is the route to building successful long term relationships”

SAVINO, founded by Mr. Savino Del Bene in Florence in the 20th century, is today a specialist in global logistics, air and ocean freight forwarding, customs

brokerage, clearing, supply chain management and logistical support services.

Moving to local matters, Kobus says that SAVINO has, over the past 12 years, created jobs and opportunities for many South African citizens throughout the country’s cultural spectrum. SAVINO also contributes a percentage of profits to the development of African leaders in previously disadvantaged communities.

Savino Del Bene and NissanRace within a Race partnership in the Dakar Rally

Shipping Alfie Cox’s racing Nissan Navara from Durban, KwaZulu Natal to Buenos Aires in Argentina on 3rd

December 2009, marked the start of South Africa’s 2010 Dakar Rally adventure.

This is a race within a race! The container housing the PS Laser Nissan Navara, all spares and equipment required for 17 race days in Argentina and Chile, had to reach the Argentinean capital on 30th December 2009, in time for administrative and technical scrutineering.

Gauteng-based global third party logistics company Savino Del Bene South Africa (SAVINO), was entrusted with the task of delivering the Nissan to Buenos Aires by deadline. Headquartered in Florence, Italy, SAVINO is a major player in the automotive industry, handling exports and clearing for a number of major motor vehicle manufacturers, including Nissan.

The PS Laser Nissan Navara is the champion of multiple national off road and enduro races in South Africa. Alfie, and friend, German businessman, Jurgen Schroder, are the latest recipients of more than a dozen Nissan Navara racing versions built by Nissan Motorsport in Midrand and shipped to overseas customers in recent years by SAVINO.

Another Nissan Motorsport built racing Navara was recently shipped to new owner, former Polish and European rally champion, Krzysztof Holowczyc. Fifth overall in the 2009 Dakar Rally in a South African-built Navara, Krzysztof raced his new car in the 2010 Dakar in January. He, Alfie and Russian off road enthusiast,

Alexander Mironenko, is a three-car South African-built Nissan Navara team which raced under the banner of Belgium’s Team Overdrive in 2010.

The 12-day journey by sea around the southern tip of Africa and across the Atlantic ocean, although not as demanding as the 9 000 kilometres-plus faced by the three South African Nissans and the other 373 competitors in the Dakar, presents its own challenges.

Ivar Tollefsen, part of a four-car team entered by Team Overdrive in 2009, which included Krzysztof and managed by Nissan Motorsport’s Glyn Hall nearly did not receive his Navara in time for the inaugural South American version of the Dakar Rally in Buenos Aires. The container truck transporting the Nissan and its spares en route from Johannesburg to Durban, missed the vessel after delays in completing Customs inspections. SAVINO arranged for the container to be loaded on to the Hamburg Sud’s Rio Negro that was to leave Durban a few days later. While still docked in Durban, the ship developed engine problems and eventually set sail for South America on 13th December 2008 – six days late.

Because of the delays, the ship had to dock in Sepetiba instead of as scheduled in Buenos Aires, necessitating transshipment of the Nissan cargo to Buenos Aires. The captain of the Rio Negro obtained permission to increase his usual speed to arrive in Sepetiba in time for transfer to the connecting vessel, Rio de Janeiro. Arriving in Buenos Aires on 29th December 2008, the container was off loaded, custom

cleared and released to a relieved Glyn Hall and team on 30th December.

“The 2008/2009 ‘race’ could not have been tighter or more dramatic,” said Hall. “All credit is due to SAVINO in South Africa and South America. Because they have never let us down, we were confident that Alfie’s Navara would reach Buenos Aires for scrutinising on 30th December 2009. A shipping agent does not go home at 5 o’clock in the afternoon - they are always available,” says Hall.

SAVINO Managing Director, Kobus Maree admits that the successful off-

loading of Ivar’s Navara was the biggest challenge SAVINO ever faced. “We had to pull a lot of strings as these logistical challenges require major preparation. It is all about the people we rely on and once the urgency of the situation was understood, we cut through bureaucracy and red tape.”

Ivar and his English co-driver, Quin Evans, finished the 2009 Dakar Rally in a remarkable fourth overall, winning the class for production vehicles. Ivar’s fourth is believed to be the highest achieved by a privateer in the modern era Dakar.

Lack of consistency muddies BEE watersVerification agencies differ on issues of interpretationBy Liesl Venter

The appointment of a Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) ombudsman or adjudicator is as important as the process of empowerment and transformation itself.

This is according to Keith Levenstein, CEO of EconoBEE, who has called on the Department of Trade and Industry and the BEE Councils to implement a B-BBEE ombudsman or adjudicator without delay.

“We need an independent person who can make rulings that are binding on everyone. At the moment we have situations arising where even though the BEE Codes are excellent, every verification agency has a different interpretation of those very codes resulting in

huge point differences.”With only about 20

accredited agencies in the country, Levenstein said there was on some levels a serious lack of understanding of the various codes.

“Every consultant and verification agency has a different viewpoint and interpretation resulting in confusion. The process of empowerment and transformation is one that is extremely important, but it is just as important to have one standard.”

Levenstein said the lack of guidance had resulted in many businesses being negatively affected. “One agency will consider a business to be Level 4

compliant and the next one will walk in and consider it to be at Level 8. You ask ten different people to interpret the BEE Codes and you will get ten different answers.

We believe an ombudsman will bring an end to this as we need to have standard interpretations and rulings.”

Levenstein says neither the DTI nor Sanas is giving guidance on how the various codes should be interpreted. “The appeal process setup by Sanas is flawed as an appeal to

a verification agency is handled by the agency itself. It has reached the stage where B-BBEE scorecards have less credibility now than in previous years. This causes unhappiness and demotivation for the very companies that should be involved in implementing B-BBEE.”

According to Levenstein, an adjudicator will give rulings on interpretations that are legally binding on all verification agencies, but will also be able to give advice on contentious issues before companies implement actions that may turn out to be worthless in terms of points.

“We will be officially writing to the DTI to ask for the appointment of an ombudsman in the coming weeks,” said Levenstein.

Cape doctor can’t be blamed for latest CT delays!By Ray Smuts

Up they popped with Jack-in-the-Box rapidity last week – ships lining up for berths at Cape Town Container Terminal with actual delays of more than 151 hours in one instance.

Unlike a wind stoppage of nearly ten hours over 24 hours the previous week, Cape Town remained largely tranquil last week, but the one-on-top-of-another arrival of containerships

affected operations.That in addition to the

terminal operating without one of its four major berths due to an ongoing R4.5 billion terminal ‘remake’.

In the 24 hours leading up to January 22, MSC Borneo (arrived 13 hours late), was delayed 115.58 hours, MSC Damla (four hours late) was delayed 97.50 hours and Nexeo Maersk was delayed 82.17 hours.

At sunrise last Friday, six vessels lay at anchor

in the bay.Hansa Aalesund arrived

January 17 and was due to berth January 20, for a total delay of 92.10 hours. (She arrived 9.9 hours late).

Next up was Safmarine Ngami (arrived six hours early) but was expected to be delayed 162 hours overall.

Pac Aries was 1.8 hours late in arriving but delayed 51.17 hours, Viking Eagle 1.8 hours late but delayed 151.25 hours, Border, delayed six hours, and MOL

Cullinan, delayed 64 hours.Fourteen vessels – by no

means an excessive number for the terminal – were due

in the eight days to January 29, for a total of 8 201 containers – 4 170 imports and 4 031 exports.

Airline volumes starting to move upIata stats hint at better times ahead

By Alan Peat

Airfreight volumes in SA are on the increase, and are returning to pre-recession levels, according to airlines and cargo operators.

This is in line with a report in the UK freight publication IFW, which suggested that European airlines had noted forwarders’ space demands were on the rise, and firm airfreight contracts were once again being signed.

Chris Zweigenthal, CEO of the Airlines’ Association of SA, told FTW that his members were indicating that SA freight demand was also improving – although he was hesitant to comment on the contract issue. “That’s between airlines and customers,” he said. “But, if the demand is generally increasing, it’s only natural to assume that binding contracts will also once again start to be signed up.”

The latest stats available to the association are hinting at better times. “However,” said Zweigenthal,

“we’ll have to wait for the full year’s figures from the International Air Transport Association (Iata) before we can say firmly what is happening.

“But the decline in air cargo volumes definitely diminished significantly towards year-end.”

There is also no doubt in the mind of Alwyn Rautenbach, MD of Airlink Cargo and chairman of the Air Cargo Operators’ Committee (Acoc), that things are looking a lot better.

“Volumes are up,” he told FTW, “and, on a year-on-year basis, figures are beginning to resemble the levels in 2008 – before this economic crisis took a hold of things.”

Rautenbach’s prediction is that relative boom times are ahead as the country begins to stock itself up for the 2010 Soccer World Cup.

“Airlines are already booked solid for inbound cargo,” he said.

“And, the nature of airfreight is that it caters for the urgent stuff, so I don’t expect there to be any sort of big drop-off after the World Cup.”

Skills development could gain prominence on BBBEE scorecardTeta funding helps make training cost-effectiveBusiness could see greater emphasis being placed on skills development in the BBBEE scorecard based on recent comments by ANC Minister for Higher Education and Training, Blade Nzimande.

”Companies doing business with the government stand to lose out on lucrative tenders if they do not commit to skills development when they apply for government tenders,” Nzimande said in an interview with the Sunday Times last week.

Stringent conditions will be put in place to force companies that have

been awarded tenders to commit themselves to skills development and transfer, he added.

According to Global Trade Training’s Charles Dey, at present the maximum score from the BBBEE scorecard skills development pillar is 15%. “Judging by the tone of the article, greater emphasis could be placed on this element of the scorecard,” he said.

“At the same time as Government is becoming increasingly demanding in this area, the dynamic environment of change necessitates high degrees of competence from every individual at every level who is involved in international logistics and supply chain management,” he said. “This applies equally to freight forwarders, importers and

exporters.”And as an accredited

provider, Dey believes GTT is in a strong position to service the industry’s requirements. “We have a Teta-linked learner

management and reporting system, a flexible blend of face-to-face training and e-learning and an extensive community of experts. These combine to assist companies in meeting their competency needs while at the same time maximising BBBEE scorecard points.”

GTT has also invested in the resources required to take companies through all the steps needed to acquire maximum BBBEE scorecard points, says Dey, “also making the training as cost-effective as possible through Teta funding.

“We have created an integrated structure for each company to acquire much-needed competencies while at the same time meeting government’s increasingly stringent BBBEE demands and attracting the maximum possible Teta subsidies.”

Charles Dey ... ‘Making the training as cost-effective as possible through Teta funding.’

‘At present the maximum score from the BBBEE scorecard skills development pillar is 15%.’

Greener vessels on the cardsMoves are afoot to improve the carbon and fuel efficiency of the world's fleet and therefore reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The World Shipping Council and its members have proposed to the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) and its member governments a new global Vessel Efficiency System that would apply vessel efficiency design standards for both new and existing vessels in the world's fleet.

Recognising that existing vessels have more limited ability to improve efficiency, they would be subject to less aggressive standards.

SADC forum will bring together Customs and private sectorTarget to establish common market over entire African continentBy James Hall

The SADC Secretariat has polished up its act to promote a “Customs to Business Partnership Forum” and taken it on the road. When the workshop arrived in Swaziland last week, Gideon Phiri, the forum’s coordinator, said the body was needed as a foundation for an eventual Pan-African common market.

“The forum, when established, will act as a contact point between the customs department and private sector. The target is to establish a common market over the entire African continent, but this vision can only be achieved through the understanding and support of the stakeholders,” Phiri said.

Private businesses involved in import/export

are to participate in the forum deliberations, which is necessary before a regional common market, the SADC Customs Union scheduled for this year, goes into effect.

National customs and excise systems must be standardised, and this requires input from end users rather than having standards decreed by SADC officials, officials said.

“We want to be accessible

to the business community because in many instances we have been viewed as a barrier at the border gates, and we want the business community to know that we are there to help them and not act as a barrier,” said Gugu Zwane from Swaziland’s Department of Customs and Excise.

“We believe that when we are equal partners, we can discuss and share ideas that

will benefit both parties,” Zwane said.

To that end, customs officials and SADC technocrats got an earful from import/export firms on the need to harmonise different national customs procedures, speed up the enactment of the electronic processing of goods, and get serious about corruption amongst border post customs personnel.

Trade agreements demystifiedNot a day goes by that we don’t read about another free trade agreement or preferential trade agreement that’s under discussion or due to be concluded in the near future.

FTW frequently receives emails from readers requesting clarification on the names of member countries involved in various agreements and what they entail. And that’s what prompted this special feature.

In consultation with a Customs specialist, FTW has compiled a list of current FTAs, with as much relevant detail as possible.

And there are more to look out for. South Africa and the other Sacu members have concluded a Preferential Trade Agreement with Mercosur while negotiations are under way with regard to FTAs with India and Nigeria. South Africa and Sacu have also been pursuing an FTA with the United States.

We hope the information provided helps our readers to make more informed decisions.

Understanding the terminology behind economic integration

The nuts and bolts of trade agreements

Daily we are exposed to a plethora of acronyms.

A large number of these refer to some form of regional integration – CMA, Comesa, Efta, EU, Sacu and SADC, to name a few.

Just as the acronyms differ in name, so do they differ in the level and types of economic integration. Over the past couple of years there has been a definite move by countries to align themselves economically

with their neighbours through the creation of trade blocs of one sort or another.

And these blocs are increasingly engaging in discussions with each other to pursue integration.

The trend seems to be regional trade blocs competing with each other on a multi-lateral basis, rather than countries competing on a bi-lateral basis.

The following table provides an overview of the forms of economic integration and their respective characteristics:

Source: TTi* The Monetary Union is not covered in this table, it is addressed in the commentary on Economic Union

Free Trade Zone: This relates to designated areas that are established within a single customs authority or country.

Amongst others it encompasses the infamous Export Processing Zones (EPZ) as well as bonded warehouse which are used for the customs duty free

importation of goods for outward processing. The South African government is in the process of drafting legislation for the introduction of Industrial Development Zones (IDZs). The IDZ differs from the traditional EPZs in a number of ways, most notably in respect of the labour dispensation.

Free Trade Area: Over the past couple of years the press has extensively covered SA’s negotiations on Free Trade Agreements with the EU and SADC.

To avoid confusion the Free Trade Area (FTA) is created as a result of the successful negotiation of a Free Trade Agreement. In effect an

FTA is little more than the initial stage of economic integration in that it allows for the customs duty free movement of goods between contracting parties.

In South Africa’s instance an FTA was established on 1 January 2000 with the 15-member EU (which has grown to 27 members), while

the Government envisages an FTA with the 14-member SADC becoming operational towards the latter part of this year.

South Africa also concluded an FTA with the 4-member Efta on 01 May 2008.

THE INTEGRATEd SOLUTIONS pARTNER OF cHOIcE

The nuts and bolts

Customs Union: South Africa is a member of the oldest Customs Union on record i.e. Southern African Customs Union (Sacu).

The 5-member Customs Union includes Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia and Swaziland (BLNS-countries).

In addition to the customs duty free movement of goods, a Customs Union also has an external customs tariff. This means that no customs duty on any product is payable by member countries of the Union and that imports from any non-member country will be payable at the point of entry into the Union.

In Sacu’s case, all customs duties collected at the points of entry i.e. airports, land border posts and ports are paid into a Central Revenue Fund. These duties are distributed to member countries on an annual basis according to a revenue sharing formula. Other than the single external customs duty, Customs Unions

differ from FTAs in that all products are customs duty free.

Common Market: In addition to the economic integration stages of a Customs Union, a Common Market provides for the free movement of people and capital i.e. free transfer of factor endowments (capital, technology, management/know-how and labour).

In order to address any crisis situation that may arise such us unemployment and foreign exchange shortages, the agreement between member countries will provide for the use of certain measures to rectify the situation. Although these forms of economic integration are seldom used today, in Southern Africa the 21-member Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (Comesa) is still in operation

Economic Union: The next stage in the economic integration process is the

Economic Union whose acronym EU should not be confused with that of the European Union.

In addition to the stages mentioned for the Common Market, it includes common economic policies. This implies that the member countries give up some of their sovereignty in pursuit of economic unity. There is a distinction between an Economic Union and a Monetary Union, in that with the exception of the United States of America (USA),

no other group of nations has introduced their own currency.

The latter should be qualified by stating that the Euro has been adopted by a number of the EU member states but not all. In the case of South Africa we are one of the 4-member countries of the Common Monetary Area (CMA). The other members are Lesotho, Namibia and Swaziland. In terms of the agreement, the currencies in these countries are pegged against

the South African rand.

Political Union: This is the ultimate from of economic integration in that the sovereignty of member countries is resident in that of the Union. An example of such a Union is the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), previous to its integration in 1991. The establishment of a European Parliament is a first step on the road towards the formation of a European Political Union.

Duty-free movement ... Namibia is one of the members 0f the Southern African Customs Union which includes Botswana, Lesotho, Swaziland and SA.

2010 SOUTH AFRICAN SCHEDULE

Doha hub caters for growing perishable business South Africa is becoming a growing focus for Qatar Airways Cargo, with the activity in this country currently centred on the parent airline’s passenger flight schedule, according to cargo’s senior vice-president, Dileepa Wijesundera.

“This presently provides us with daily flights to Johannesburg and onward flights to Cape Town four times a week,” he told FTW.

The cargo operation handles a range of time-

sensitive and perishable items, both of which are major cargo categories on the SA air routes. On the export leg, for example, a wide range of perishable products fills the holds of many of the outgoing aircraft.

This according to Wijesundera, requires a finely tuned system, to handle what can be an extremely sensitive cargo.

“For example, from the moment the stem of a flower

is cut, the clock is ticking. With streamlined movement, minimum transit times and climate control, Qatar Airways Cargo takes fresh flowers from Johannesburg to major markets in Europe.

“Yes, we really do deliver tulips to Amsterdam!”

This, he added, was supported by a full range of perishable facilities at the Qatar cargo hub at Doha International Airport – with

these specialised warehouses including both cold room and freezer sections.

The rest of the African continent is also well covered by the airline and its cargo subsidiary - with services to Alexandria, Cairo, Casablanca, Dar Es Salaam, Khartoum, Lagos, Luxor, Nairobi, Seychelles, Tripoli, and Tunis. Added to that, Qatar Airways Cargo operates dedicated freighter services to Cairo, Khartoum and Nairobi.

SA Airlink fleet suspension lifted SA Airlink’s grounded fleet of 14 Jetstream aircraft last Thursday got the go-ahead from the South African Civil Aviation Authority (Sacaa) to recommence flying.

Three of the aircraft were given the necessary

approval earlier this month.

New regional airline to be launchedIn a joint venture, SA Express and Congolese business BizAfrika Congo, have introduced a new airline. Congo Express will begin operating

an air service between Lubumbashi, Kinshasa and Mbuji Mayi in the DRC from February 1.

Airline merger agreement imminentIberia and British Airways could seal their merger agreement as early as February, Miguel Blesa,

chairman of savings bank Caja Madrid, the Spanish flag carrier’s largest shareholder, said recently.

Japan Airlines vows to cut jobs and routesIn one of the country’s largest ever bankruptcies, Japan Airlines – once

a symbol of Japan’s international aspirations – filed for bankruptcy protection last week owing more than R185-billion.

In its case for protection, reports Reuters, the airline vowed to cut 15 700 jobs and unprofitable routes in order to survive.

Daily flights to Johannesburg and onward flights to Cape Town four times a week.

sA scores high on World Bank logistics indexBut domestically costs are double what they should beBy Alan Peat

South Africa has been ranked 28th most-efficient logistics country in the world according to “Connecting to Compete 2010” – the World Bank’s latest logistics performance index (LPI) for 155 countries around the globe.

SA also appears at the top or high up in other of the LPI lists, and can certainly claim to be a good logistics performer when rated for international logistics efficiency.

For example, SA was in first spot in the Top 10 logistics performers amongst upper middle-income countries – followed by Malaysia, Poland, Lebanon, Latvia, Turkey, Brazil, Lithuania, Argentina and Chile.

We also won a listing amongst the 10 most significant over-performers (excluding high-income

countries) where SA was joined by Bangladesh; China; Democratic Republic of Congo; India, Madagascar, Philippines, Thailand, Uganda, and Vietnam (in no specific order).

And being a good performer here is a very good indicator of just how well we can expect the SA economy to fare in the highly competitive global trade arena.

“The importance of efficient logistics for trade and growth is now widely acknowledged,” said the World Bank. “A historical analysis based on the 2007 LPI or similar information has shown that better logistics performance is strongly associated with trade expansion, export diversification, ability to attract foreign direct investments and economic growth.

“In other words, trade

logistics matter.”But, before we all go

patting ourselves firmly on the back, a serious word of warning from the SA research specialists, the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR).

In its 2009 annual “State of Logistics (SOL)” survey for SA, the council pointed out that the World Bank index was divided into international and domestic.

There’s no doubt about our relative excellence on the international logistics scale – which is composed of six items: Efficiency of the customs clearance process; quality of trade and transport-related infrastructure;

ease of arranging competitively priced shipments; competence and quality of logistics services; ability to track and trace consignments; and frequency with which shipments reach the consignee within the scheduled or expected time.

However, said the CSIR, it’s a different story if you look at SA rated on internal (domestic) logistics costs.

In the original 2007 World Bank international index, SA was ranked 24th out of 150 countries, and it was the best-ranked developing country – even beating China (placed 30th).

But, the CSIR ominously added, when rated on the domestic logistics costs, SA was placed only 124th – with transport remaining the biggest contributor.

“These high logistics costs remain the biggest concern for the industry,” according to the CSIR’s 2009 SOL,

“and if SA wants to compete in the global marketplace they need immediate attention.”

It has been well documented that the direct cost of logistics in the European Union (EU) and North America typically runs in the order of 7%-8% of gross domestic product (GDP). But, said the CSIR’s SOL, the overall logistics cost in SA was measured as 15.9% of GDP.

“This,” Martin Bailey, MD of Industrial Logistic Systems, told FTW, “means that transport, storage and all other related factors in SA are relatively double that of the developed countries.

“We have not managed to keep up with the rest of the world to create intelligent, effective transport networks for general freight over rail,” Bailey said. “This means that we are using high-cost road transport to move goods over long distances.”

‘We have not managed to keep up with the rest of the world to create intelligent, effective transport networks.’


ICS innovates to make training more accessibleThe Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers is adding muscle to its skills development efforts with its ‘Adopt a Learner’ project.

In conjunction with key industry stakeholders, 20 pre-selected unemployed learners will be placed on a Learnership, trained on the Shipping Certificate and given workplace experience. Fully funded by Teta, the project is the first of its kind in South Africa, says skills programme manager, Carol Knox. “Companies who would like to participate by providing workplace experience should contact the ICS,” she told FTW.

The Institute is now also offering Saturday training so that learners don’t lose out on

workplace time. “We are working on innovative approaches to training and are also able to train on-site at a company’s premises, provided we can train 8–10 individuals at a time,” said Knox.

By participating in the ICS’s fully accredited training, learners can reclaim their skills levies and be part of the transformation of the skills base of shipping in South Africa, she added.

In another milestone for the Institute, training on the full FET Certificate: Shipping for an industry stakeholder, is coming to an end with learners set to be the very first in South Africa to achieve this, said Knox. “We look forward to their graduation.”

First MBG Shipping vessel sails

By Ray Smuts

The much-delayed 1 550 TEU Alioth, first ship to be chartered for MBG Shipping’s new SA/Europe/West Africa reefer

service, finally sailed out of Cape Town late Thursday night (January 21).

FTW has established through port control the vessel sailed at 23:20 on

January 21, all monies owing to National Ports Authority for marine and berthing services and to FPT for cargo handling services having been paid a few days previously.

‘Largest growing economic force in the world isn’t China or India’New global research released by the US-based Boston Consulting Group (BCG) has revealed that women will create 70% of the global growth in income at the household level over the next five years. The research – which surveyed 12 000 women in 22 countries – found that women spend over 70% of consumer dollars worldwide.

The findings led CNN to declare last October that, “the largest growing

economic force in the world isn't China or India – it is women”.

pricier SA wines make headway in UKEncouraging increase in market share

By Ray Smuts

The South African wine industry is hoping for a 10% hike in packaged wines this year – provided the rand behaves itself.

This certainly is the belief of Su Birch, CEO of Wines of South Africa (Wosa), the country’s export marketing arm, in response to latest UK data from AC Nielsen indicating the country continues to rank as the fastest-growing wine region in that particular sector.

Volume market share increased to 12.3% last year, up from 10.4% in 2008.

Although still in fourth place in the UK, South Africa is now virtually on par with France, which occupies third ranking behind Australia and the US. (France leads South Africa with a mere 0.1% market share).

Total supermarket sales grew 24% in volume and 23% in value last year, SA Wine Information Systems (Sawis) calculating the country’s packaged wines to the UK were up 11% last year, over 2008.

“The most encouraging development of all has been the impressive expansion of South African wine sales at price points of £5 and higher,” says Birch.

“Those retailing for £7 to £9.99, representing a slightly

smaller segment of the market, rose 27% and those above £10, also a smaller category, were up 43% over 2008.”

Birch adds it has long been the goal of South African producers to shift away from the “extreme value” segment, in order to ensure the industry’s long-term sustainability, even though Wosa remains concerned about the effect of the South African economy on profit margins.


Seafreight rates

Regulator awaits reaction to block on TNPA tariff increase

Williams reflected the same thoughts, and said he had seen no “dramatic changes” recently in either the US or Europe trades.

He did, however, note one area where growth had been noticeable. That was on reefers (refrigerated containers) into Europe – which he suggested had “taken off”.

Part of this was due to continuing increased demand from Europe as the SA fruit season progressed, but it had also been accentuated by the current global shortage of reefer boxes.

Not very happy about the whole affair was Sue Wood, operations director of Cargocare Freight Services.

“Rates have definitely been firming up,” she told FTW, “and we’ve been aware of this since December. Also co-loaders (cargo consolidators) have already instituted GRIs. That’s unusual for this time of year, and indicates that they foresee continued rates increases from the

shipping lines.”And she condemned the

lines for their huge capacity cuts.

“With the lines having manipulated the supply/demand situation in the market, it has artificially pushed the rates up.”

Not that she didn’t agree that a lot of the lines were in dire financial straits because of the global recession.

But everyone is sharing this pain, Wood added, and it was not fair of lines to indulge in some rather dubious market tactics to stay alive.

One such tactic she rejected was the news in sister publication Cargo Info News last week that member lines of the TransPacific Stabilisation Agreement (TSA) – with most of the world’s major lines in this membership – were trying to enforce an emergency revenue charge (ERC), as part of an interim effort to boost revenue over the first half of 2010.

The TSA guidelines recommended an ERC

over and above existing surcharges, adjustment factors and GRIs on the transPacific trades. This saw the Hong Kong-Los Angeles FEU spot rate jumping 10% in a week, according to price data provided to London’s Drewry Shipping by non-vessel-operating common carriers in Hong Kong.

But Wood classified this as “an unfair market strategy” – and tended to agree with Asian shippers, who attacked the ERC as exploiting a “monopolistic position”, and called on Asian governments to remove the antitrust immunity enjoyed by carriers.

“The trouble with this sort of tactic is that, if it works, it could spread elsewhere, and we might even see it on the local shipping scene.

And the unfortunate thing is that it does seem to have worked.

According to Drewry’s, the emergency action saw transPacific rates jump 17% last week.

No-one denies that shipping lines are in dire financial straits because of the global recession.

By Alan Peat

There had been no official reaction from Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) by the end of last week, after the Durban-based national Ports Regulator, Riad Kahn, turned down the authority’s application for a 10.62% average tariff increase for the financial year 2010/11.

Kahn told FTW on Friday afternoon that he had heard nothing from Transnet, “although I did read in the press that they were looking for our reason for determining that 4.42% was an appropriate increase”.

Despite there having been no such direct request from TNPA, Kahn added that the regulator’s office was currently busy drafting out the full reasoning behind his decision.

“Once this is finished, we will get it approved by the members of the board, and will then officially release

it to TNPA.”FTW also questioned Kahn

earlier in the week on whether an appeal from the TNPA against his decision was likely. He did not utterly reject the possibility.

However, if no appeal is forthcoming, the 4.42% tariff increase decision will stand, and be applicable from April 1.

The Ports Regulator of SA was established under the provisions of the National Ports Act under which his main functions are to: • Exercise economic regulation of the ports system in line with government’s strategic objectives; • Promote equity of access to ports and to facilities and services provided in ports; • Monitor the activities of the TNPA to ensure that it performs its functions in accordance with this act; • Hear complaints and appeals under the NPA.
