The launch by Transnet Freight Rail of a scheduled service that guarantees arrival and departure times of each train on every node of the rail route is the first step towards a truly 24/7 service, 364 days a year.

That was the message from CEO Siyabonga Gama when he announced the launch of the new initiative that will see fixed scheduling of freight trains – initially on four key corridors. The success of the venture will however demand buy-in from every link in the supply chain. “When it comes to Saturdays and Sundays our customers close so logistics can’t be optimised.”

And that, says Gama, is an ongoing conversation that will need to be resolved.

The first phase of fixed scheduling will apply on the Phalaborwa/Maputo and Richards Bay line for magnetite; Welgedag/Palmford for Majuba coal; Uitkyk/

Komatipoort for TCM coal; and Phalaborwa/Richards Bay for rock phosphate.

The busy Natcor corridor between Gauteng and KZN is next on the schedule, with the entire network running to a scheduled timetable by mid-2012. “We also want to increase the number of trains on Natcor – currently 35 a day each way – to 55 in the next three years,” he said.

It’s all part of TFR’s drive to move rail-friendly volumes from road back to rail.

“In order to achieve that we need to launch programmes that bring about better predictability and reliability of our railway system which is what our customers want.

“Scheduled railways will also help us to deliver more tons on time which will make it possible for us to deliver more tons. Predictable and cheaper rail transport will move traffic from road to rail.”

Customers will however require some convincing.

Project manager of Into Africa Logistics, Michelle Stuart, has her doubts. Her company recently chose to rail four containers to Cape Town and Port Elizabeth due to cost concerns. “It took 17 days

from receipt of the containers to reach their destination! The demurrage incurred nullified any savings, and Transnet refused to entertain any claims.

“This happened less than a

Durban port users have launched an awareness campaign to highlight what the industry must do to try to overcome the problem of trucks being involved in serious – very often fatal – accidents on their routes in and out of the port city, according to Dave Watts, maritime adviser to the SA Association of Freight Forwarders (Saaff).

The Durban Port Committee (DPC) is a standing committee of the Durban Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and it meets monthly at the port offices of Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) to address a variety of port-related matters.

Dumping: Full Threaded Screws with Hexagon HeadsOn 18 November 2011 a notice was published in respect of an investigation into the alleged dumping of fully threaded screws with hexagon heads, excluding those of stainless steel originating in or imported from the People’s Republic of China (China).

The application was initiated by the South African Fasteners’ Manufacturers Association (Safma), an industrial origanisation for the major producers of the subject product in the Southern African Customs Union (Sacu). Safma constitutes 80% of the Sacu production value.

The allegation of dumping is based on the comparison between the normal value in China and the export price from China. The normal value was constructed based on the cost of production plus general selling and administration expenses and profit in China. The export price was based on six month import statistics from the South African Revenue Service (Sars).

Comment is due by 27 December 2011.

Proposed Increase in the Duty: Stainless Steel SinksOn 18 November 2011 a notice appeared in respect of the proposed increase in the rate of customs duty (duty) on stainless steel sinks from 20% to 30% ad valorem.

The application was lodged by Franke Kitchen Systems (Pty) Ltd who reasoned that the stainless steel sinks industry was currently distressed as a result of low-price imports of stainless steel sinks from China and other countries. An increase in the rate of customs duty from 20% to 30% ad valorem will protect the local market and enable them to be more competitive. Comment due by 16 December 2011.

With two pilot boats suddenly out of service at the same time, berthing of ships at the Port of Cape Town came to a grinding halt on Monday last week.

The MV Petrel broke down at 02:18, with the MV Gannet already in the drydock for a month as it underwent its annual maintenance. Berthings were delayed for the day on Monday, and four ships suffered delays on Tuesday – as the port’s work boat did its best to replace the pilot boats.

The short-term solution was for a replacement boat to be sent from Saldanha – with an ETA of 16:00 on the Tuesday. The longer-term cure was for two new pilot boats to join the f leet at Cape Town – the first due at the end of next year, and the second at the end of 2013.

What did the lines feel about this sudden glitch in ship berthing and sailing?

Not too badly, according to MOL and MSC. But, FTW was told, this

was because their ships involved in the hold-up were both small vessels, with a low freeboard and able to embark or disembark a pilot from the small work boat.

Speaking to FTW at the time, MOL’s marketing manager, Iain McIntosh, said: “We had a lot of fun when one of our ships, the Jamila, was held up on the Tuesday, and suffered a six-hour delay.

“But she was a small vessel, and relatively easy to board, so the problem was really for the larger ships that were involved. But the Saldanha replacement pilot boat arrived on schedule, so the problem should now be resolved.”

Rob McEwan of MSC was unperturbed. “Our ship was sailing, and she has a low freeboard, so didn’t really need a pilot boat – and the work boat did the job. If there is no big swell, this is sufficient. But there were one or two of the big ones that had problems.”

Poor productivity in South African harbours is costing exporters “a fortune”, while high freight rates are making it increasingly difficult for exporters of perishable products to remain globally competitive.

Carl van der Westhuizen, managing director of citrus, pome and grape exporter Sinogold, says his company loses a fortune due to the inability of Cape Town harbour to load containers when the South Easter blows even moderately.

“Secondly, I believe the

shipping lines are definitely a cartel on the northwest continent route and freight rates are exorbitantly high. Although of course they are going to deny this vociferously.”

Shipping lines have also told Van der Westhuizen that congestion in some ports has made South Africa rank amongst the most unproductive countries in the world.

“Government promises are extremely slow to materialise,” he said.

“Furthermore, the steep cost slope of logistics costs in South Africa is inexorably drawing closer

to grower break-even level.”

Van der Westhuizen said that under these circumstances it was “no longer viable to farm as overseas markets would not increase prices in the face of a supply and demand driven scenario”.

The biggest challenges he faces as an exporter of perishable products are the year-on-year increases that he said “take little account of the fact that the markets to which we send fruit refuse to subsidise our inflation”.

Despite the already high logistics costs, Van der

Westhuizen foresees prices continuing to increase on a steep upward slope.

“Unless the world fruit production capacity is reduced by global weather pattern changes and shortages drive prices upwards, we will battle to get buyers to accept price

increases,” he told FTW.“A massive problem

is also the government’s extremely poor handling of the phytosanitary protocol management. To get certificates out these days is a nightmare. Many of our top markets require stringent phyto controls.”

South African companies stand to lose out in the new race for Africa due to a number of “structural weaknesses”, according to the National Development Plan released in November by the National Planning Commission under Trevor Manuel.

The main problem is logistics.

“Crucially, poor

transport links and infrastructure networks, as well as tariff and non-tariff barriers, raise the cost of doing business and hobble both investment and internal trade.

“The Southern African Development Community (SADC) faces significant challenges on many fronts, including infrastructure, trade barriers and governance,” according to the plan.

On the subject of manufactured exports, it says “keeping costs (especially logistics costs) down is important for these types of exports.

In part, due to these physical constraints, “one of the biggest exports since 1994 has been management skills, deployed in settings that are common to us, but less familiar to competitors from developed countries.”

Cellphone networks are being rolled out at great speed across the African continent in order to support the world’s second-largest mobile market.

For the logistics value chain, this presents opportunities, including the importation of container-loads of base station equipment, the transport of the equipment, secure storage and despatch to site in a bundled kit.

Then there is the distribution of the phones themselves. According to the GSMA Africa Mobile

Observatory 2011 report, over the past five years, the number of subscribers across Africa has grown by almost 20% a year, and will reach more than 735 million by the end of 2012.

In addition to importing and storing the phones, logistics companies are adding value by inserting SIM cards and making other modifications for certain markets.

Cellphones are also helping boost African economies – which, in turn, translates into more goods that need to be transported to the point of sale for the consumer.

Is Agoa here to stay? That’s a critical question, as the bulk of African exports would be priced out of the US market without the import duty dispensation, and a large proportion of the beneficiary states in Africa are utterly economically-dependent on these Agoa exports to keep them from sinking into collapse.

And the big call from the African states at the Zambia Agoa summit in June this year, was for the latest round of Agoa to be extended beyond its September 30, 2015 expiry deadline.

But the question remains: Will the US Congress feel the need to extend the programme, particularly as the pressure at home to resurrect the country’s ailing economy intensifies on the Barack Obama administration?

However, the good news

is that the present US government wants Agoa to fly.

US trade representative Ambassador Ron Kirk, leading the US Agoa delegation at the Zambian summit, was positive on Agoa’s trade statistics and optimistic about the programme’s ability to increase trade between the US and African countries in the future.

He cautioned that increased market access to the US would not necessarily equate to increased trade, and that a great deal had to be done with respect to trade capacity.

The ambassador announced a new Obama administration initiative to address those issues: The African Competitiveness and Trade Expansion (Acate) initiative, which will provide US$120 million over four years, is to build on the success of Africa’s regional trade hubs and help African

nations realise Agoa’s full potential.

US President Barack Obama, in his letter to the delegates of the 10th Agoa ministerial summit in Lusaka, which was read to the delegates by Kirk, said “the time is ripe for African economies to grow by taking advantage of Agoa”.

And Kirk added, Obama had said that, with an extension of Agoa to 2025, he was optimistic that many of the African economies would grow stronger.

But this doesn’t mean that Agoa is definitely going to be extended to 2025, according to Elizabeth Trudeau, of the economics division at the US embassy in Pretoria.

“The Obama administration has given support for an extension of Agoa,” she told FTW, “but it must still get congress approval, because it is only a congressional act that can renew Agoa.”

Africa must move into action mode and start ensuring its infrastructure is in place if it wants to compete with other developing nations.

Speaking at a round-table discussion in Johannesburg last week, Amadou Diallo, chief executive officer of DHL Freight, said it was just as important that Africa finished the projects that it started before moving on to the next. “There is all this talk about rail at present but Africa is really about taking it step by step. They need to finish what they have started and that means addressing their ports, their roads and ensuring that rural areas are accessible.”

He said while rail was without doubt a necessity and a great ambition

for the continent where transport costs remained unreasonably high, it was still very early days to talk about rail solutions.

“We are watching developments very closely on the continent and we believe the success lies in getting the basics right.”

Current economic constraints are likely to lead to a contraction of the South Africa-US market, according to Darryn La Reservee, super cargo manager at Mitchell Cotts, agents for Canada States Africa Line (CSAL).

CSAL specialises in roro, break-bulk, bulk, containers and project cargoes from South Africa to Canada and east coast US.

“Just-in-time shipments over the past couple of years have become more and more predominant. With container ships being faster and usually having a quicker turn-around time in port, a lot of the break-bulk cargoes and even bulk cargoes are now being shipped in containers.”

He said business southbound had been steady, comprising cargo such as machinery, second-hand trucks and mining equipment.

“On the northbound leg we have seen a steady volume of small bulk ferro alloy parcels. Granite has had its ups and downs this year, and added to this is the very high cleanliness requirements in Montreal,” said La Reservee.

He predicted that the year ahead would continue to be very tough “especially with the ongoing economic issues that the US is experiencing”.

“Freight rates to New Orleans are very low for bulk cargoes and it is very difficult to fix cargo at any type of reasonable rate,” he said.

However, La Reservee

said CSAL was in a “unique position” as its specialised services and ice-class vessels allowed it to travel to Montreal all year round, giving it an advantage in a difficult economy.

The line is now looking at other possibilities to further expand and improve its service from Africa to Montreal and the US.

The liner ports that CSAL serves include Montreal, Baltimore, Savannah, Walvis Bay, Cape Town, Durban, Richards Bay, Durban, Cape Town and Walvis Bay.

CSAL also calls Maputo, Beira, Saldanha Bay, Charleston and Wilmington on inducement – and New Orleans and Houston when the cargo from South Africa warrants it.

The African Growth and Opportunities Act (Agoa) is still the major driving force behind the growth of African exports to the US.

With a zero import duty rating for 6 500 African products going into America, it has had an impressive performance as a stimulator of African exports.

As has become the norm, the top five Agoa beneficiary countries were Nigeria, Angola (both oil-rich states), SA, Chad and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Other leading beneficiaries were Gabon, Ghana, Lesotho, Kenya and Cameroun.

In purely SA terms, the consensus is that Agoa – which benefits sectors such as automotives, minerals,

iron and steel, metals, chemicals, edible fruits and nuts, and beverages – has been a success in stimulating bilateral trade and investment between the US and SA. Recent trade figures from the department of trade and industry (dti) show that the total trade between the US and SA in 2010 increased to R52.4 bn.

And Mavis Museisi, a director of International Trade: Americas Bilateral Economic Relations at the dti, said Agoa had been well received by the private sector in SA, which had led to the country becoming the largest non-oil exporter to the US under Agoa. In addition, she said that many SA and African companies had attracted investment companies in Europe, Asia, Latin America as well as the US due to Agoa.

If you’re intending to trade with South America, don’t put all the countries in that continent into the same basket in your market research.

That’s according to two experts on South America interviewed by FTW – Nada Reyneke, head of international trade at the Johannesburg Chamber of Commerce and Industry (JCCI), and Theys Radmann, SA-based director (and former chairman) of the Chile-SA Chamber of Commerce, with a special responsibility for trade with this country.

“It’s a fatal mistake to see all the South American states as being the same,” said Radmann. “All the countries are entirely different.”

Radmann suggested that there was a group of countries that presented opportunities to SA traders – listing Brazil, Chile, Peru and Colombia – because they are growing and have relative political and economic stability.

Chile, Radmann reckoned, was the most politically stable of them all, followed by Brazil, Colombia and Peru.

Looking at these four countries individually, he classed Colombia as being a

nation that had had serious problems in the past with the arrogant, brutal and socially powerful drugs regime.

“But much of that problem has been overcome,” Radmann added. “Things are now definitely improving, and it is now politically and financially relatively stable.”

Peru he classified as having been politically unstable, but he said things were now improving with a new president and government.

“However,” he said, “traders would have to take care, because its bureaucracy was difficult to deal with. But there is a lot of foreign investment now going onto Peru, particularly in mining and agriculture.”

Brazil is the big muscle in South America. Indeed, according to Radmann, this sheer financial strength has unbalanced the Mercosur trade agreement, and prevents it working as it should.

But the Brazilian economy is developing to the point where it has global heft, and people have to take it

seriously. That development

has already brought a quadrupling of gross domestic product (GDP) since 1993 to US$2.09 trillion, and serious attempts are now being made to snuff out inflation and stabilise the economy.

Brazil is a major producer of soybeans, wheat, rice, corn, sugar cane, citrus and beef. It also has bauxite, gold, iron ore, platinum, rare earth elements, uranium, timber and petroleum among its ample natural resources, and it is a major motor vehicle manufacturer.

A problem here is that Brazil and SA are highly competitive in almost every way, and, although both are members of the Brics (Brazil, India, China, South Africa) grouping, it is difficult for the two to trade with each other.

Chile, according to Radmann, is the easiest to do business with – apart from the logistical problem for SA of Chile being situated on the Pacific coast of the continent.

“The only drawback is that it’s a very small (16-million population) market. But it should certainly be seen as a good guinea pig market for SA traders.”

Although it has the world’s largest number of bi-lateral trade agreements, SA is not

one of those. So exporters to the country face a 6% duty on all goods – except computer parts (like chips) where the duty is zero.

For SA businesses looking at investing in Chile there is one big advantage. It has no taxation on foreign countries, according to Radmann, and therefore all profits can be repatriated to this country.

He misses out Argentina (the continent’s second largest economy) in his listing.

“Second largest it may be,” Radmann said, “but it’s a shambles. There is still too much political trouble in Argentina, and its rule of

law is not well handled in the courts.

“I wouldn’t recommend setting up trade there because the political situation is very much shaken up, and its GDP per capita is lower than its neighbour, Brazil. I’d wait.”

Reyneke agreed with the concept of national diversity.

“Basically, when you are looking at the SA trade outlook in South America, you can’t see that continent as a single entity,” she told FTW. “There are so many different countries, and different ideological groupings of countries, that you could never describe it as a unified entity.”

Sliding volumes and declining imports from the US have prompted companies to question whether the country could be falling back into recession.

With the US dollar remaining weak against most major currencies, US exports should certainly be price-competitive, said Colin Atkins, managing director of World Cargo Services

“Normally the final quarter of the year yields the highest import volumes from the US. Suddenly this trend has been challenged with sliding volumes,” he

told FTW.“Does this mean the

US is sliding back into recession or is this rather a barometer of the South African economy?” he asked.

Only time will tell, but he noted that imports from the US did not look too rosy for 2012.

The company monitors the US economy closely as it is one of the specialist independent groupage operators out of the region.

Atkins said Africa had been earmarked as a significant growth market for US exports, with projections of trebling trade with the region over the next decade.

WCS has established partnerships in Ghana and Kenya and through its US partner CaroTrans, it is well positioned to take advantage of increased exports to all of Africa.

The company has seen its airfreight product expand rapidly in 2011 and now operates a nightshift to cater for time differences with the US.

“While space shortages continue to retard airfreight efficiencies, we have been very lucky to have a major partner with clout to secure cargo bookings,” said Atkins.

Ocean freight rates have again come under pressure this year as freight

forwarders fight to retain their market share and maintain volumes at levels sufficient to take in the effects of economies of scale on landside logistics.

“Being ‘lean and mean’ does help sometimes, as we can deliver high service levels with low overheads,” said Atkins.

“2011 seems to have been the year of technological advancement in IT systems and we have introduced a few innovations,” he said.

“Ever heard of a Desktop Gallery Gadget? Well look out for the little Swiss Army knife on our emails, the gadget we all associate with so many tools. One “click” to access ocean and

origin landside costings, shipping schedules and track and trace. No website searching necessary anymore!”

Trade with developing economies like Brazil, Columbia, Peru and Chile fared better during the global economic downturn compared to developed countries, thanks to demand for power generation projects, according to Raymond Fisch, senior VP at BBC Chartering.

The company has experienced an increasing number of transport assignments related to development projects in the power, utility and energy industries.

“In a global context this encompasses both conventional power generation and renewable power generation projects, mainly wind power developments. Many of these investments are driven by China, the US and eventually Brazil,” Fisch told FTW.

“We are certain that the global energy supply will remain a major driver of demand for breakbulk and heavy lift shipping capacity in the future.

“We are still very bullish on both the mining and the energy sectors, which feature major development and investment projects in these countries,” he said.

He anticipates this demand to continue in the

coming year. “Still the solid growth of the South American market attracts other players as well and

with that we are always challenged to compete effectively.”

Ed Bastian, director global sales at BBC

Chartering USA, said that he still saw the market under pressure due to the excess capacity of tonnage on the supply side.

“Focusing on the demand side in the Americas, we can observe that business in Latin America has outperformed both North America and Europe,” said Fisch and Bastian.

However, volatile freight rates between South Africa and the Americas “remain a constant challenge” in the industry and BBC Chartering, along with many other companies, has an interest in restoring

freight rates.“As such I think we

will continue to see many opportunities being driven by the demand of the emerging economies of Latin America. How much this will result in increasing margins on our business is a question of available capacity and our ability to position ourselves at a premium due to the service we provide. One main opportunity lies in maximising the revenue on our vessels. Smart parcelling remains our ongoing challenge for that,” said Fisch.

Brazil is reported to have given Zimbabwe a US$300-million loan to increase food production, according to a report in Zimbabwean state media.

The loan follows a US$600-million investment in a giant Green Fuels ethanol plant at Chisumbanje in Zimbabwe.

Brazilian technical staff and engineers have also been involved in the construction of the 40-million-litre-a-month plant, which uses Brazilian technology and will meet over 70% of Zimbabwe’s current fuel needs.

Brazil is the world’s largest producer of ethanol from sugarcane, over five thousand hectares of which has been planted in Zimbabwe to fuel the Chisumbanje plant.

Zimbabwe is the first recipient of a Brazilian agricultural aid scheme for Africa.

The state-owned Herald newspaper quotes Agriculture, Mechanisation and Irrigation Development Minister Joseph Made as saying “the More Food for Africa programme is important for the country as it has managed to address some of the challenges we have been facing in securing lines of credit to support the agriculture sector that incidentally is the backbone of the economy.”

As manufacturers examine ways of minimising environmental risks in their outbound supply chains, they are demanding more environmental accountability and transparency from their forwarders and logistics suppliers.

Executives at Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics see this as an opportunity to showcase the economic value of strong environmental practices.

According to Melanie Moore, WWL global head of environmental matters, the future will require shippers and operators to think differently about energy and land use. Not only in terms of supply and demand but also in relation to demands for a greener and leaner supply chain and the need to comply with national and international environmental legislation.

“To drive progress towards sustainability both on sea and on land, WWL has come up with two state-of-the-art “green” concepts – the E/S Orcelle and the Castor Green Terminal,” she said.

“Combining proven and unproven technologies, the concept ship and terminal provide an innovative vision of a more environmentally sound future which is a win-win situation for society, the environment and industry.”

WWL’s futuristic state-of-the-art environmentally friendly concept, the Castor Green Terminal & Processing Centre, symbolises its long-term vision – a zero-emissions terminal and processing centre which runs on renewable energy, recycles all its waste and efficiently loads and discharges all types of roro cargo, minimising the

risk to the environment. “We believe that most

of the technologies under consideration for the Castor concept are realistic from a technical point of view but many of them are not yet economically feasible,” said Moore. “Nevertheless, with the current speed of technological development, we are confident that a terminal of this kind could be a reality by 2020.”

The E/S Orcelle is WWL’s zero-emission roro concept vessel, which runs on renewable energy sources like wind, solar and wave power, as well as fuel cell technology.

With its optimised cargo-carrying capacity design, due to the use of lightweight materials, including aluminium and thermoplastic composites, the Orcelle could

carry around 10 000 cars – about 25% more than today’s carriers.

Even though it is highly unlikely that this exact vessel

will ever be built, the next generation of vessels will include at least some of the Orcelle’s features in the next fifteen years, said Moore.

A lack of competition is identified as the main reason for the poor performance of South Africa’s ports, according to the National Development Plan released by Trevor Manuel’s National Planning Commission.

It says “as indicated by the port regulator, South African ports perform poorly, operating at levels below comparative operations, with costs that

are significantly higher than the global average.

“These gateways for international trade are hindering the nation’s development objectives.”

The report also criticises Transnet for using surpluses generated by port operations to “fund investments elsewhere.

“The trade-offs obscured within the Transnet Group must be addressed if port prices are to be competitive,” say the authors of the plan.

Manuel proposes ‘model’ Durban-Gauteng corridorBy Ed Richardson

The National Planning Commission under Trevor Manuel is proposing to create a “model” Gauteng-Durban freight corridor by 2030.

Recommendations in the National Development Plan include improving the flexibility of rail by “improving the performance of terminals on either end.”

Success factors identified in the plan include “unrestricted access into the terminals for freight,

removing bottlenecks on the road and rail routes, and expanding terminal capacity”.

Planning priorities include creating new access routes into the port of Durban, allowing for the segregation of freight from other traffic, and building “at least” three new inland terminals around Gauteng for improved road-rail transfers.

Additional container capacity will be created by digging out the old La Mercy airport.

SA ports need competition

By Ed Richardson

Transnet’s ability to raise finance for the billions it plans to invest on upgrading South Africa’s rail and port network has been weakened by the downgrading of its rating from stable to negative by Moody’s.

This follows the downgrading of South Africa’s government debt ratings to negative from stable, reflecting heightened political risk in the context of more constrained public finances,” according to the agency.

In a conflicting message, earlier in November, Standard & Poor’s (S&P’s) reaffirmed Transnet’s investment grade credit

rating based on the company’s stand-alone credit profile.

Transnet said the affirmation would enable the group to continue raising

funds in the debt capital markets on the strength of its balance sheet and crucially, without guarantees from the government.

In August, the Fitch Ratings affirmed Transnet’s

national long-term rating at AA-(zaf) with a stable outlook.

Moody’s says its decision to change the outlook on Transnet’s ratings to negative “was driven primarily by the change in outlook on South Africa’s government bond ratings, but also by the overall execution risk of its significant capex programme over the next five years, as well as the potential pressure to accelerate its current capital expenditure programme”.

On a more positive note, it adds “in the past years, though, Transnet has successfully implemented over 90% of its budgeted capital investment programme”.

LETTER

Good article on the half height containers in the latest edition (FTW November 18, 2011) and a great concept.

I am now starting to show my age as these are not new and were quite common in the early 1980s when I worked in the Europe-Far East trade in London for the Trio consortium for OCL. We had quite a number of these which were used by British Steel (now Corus Steel) for exports of their steel products to Asia. You don’t want too many when considering 2 x half heights in one slot = 60 tonnes of cargo!

I think you should award a R1000 prize for the first bright spark to recommend

large amounts of these should be used by shipping lines and no doubt for half the price of normal already low freight. My prize would be awarding same bright spark a copy of Martin Stopford’s book on Maritime Economics on which I will then set them many questions to test if they actually read it as a penalty!!

Good issue, although I had to take a cold shower on Mr Peat’s Durban terminal story. We know it’s coming but you have a nice way of really lining us up to slash our wrists further!

Having taken up the challenge to transport live animals internationally, Turkish Airlines and its local general sales agent, Aircross SA, is proving it has what it takes to deal with the unique challenges this presents.

According to Carien Woolley of Aircross SA, the first consignment of live animals was moved earlier

this year from South Africa to New York.

The consignment of live rhinos, weighing in at 6 tons, was moved without any incident, with a group of well-trained Aircross staff on hand to deal with any issues that arose.

Woolley told FTW that while the first transport was very successful, it had taken four years of negotiating with Turkish Airlines to convince

the airline to accept live animals as cargo.

In October Turkish Airlines took on yet another big challenge when they transported 6 tons of live sharks from Cape Town to Istanbul.

“This was also very successful with very positive response from the shipper and the consignee about our smooth operation,” said Woolley.

Live animals are Turkish delight

As overcapacity hits its rivals, Maersk Line looks poised to benefit, according to a Bloomberg report.

This as AP Moller, the owner of this largest container line in the world, is prepared to outlast rivals as the industry faces four years of overcapacity.

“We are actually quite well positioned for a longer stretch of tough competition,” said Nils Andersen, CEO of the Copenhagen-based company. “It would be natural if the smaller players in this business, or their banks, start questioning whether it’s a good idea to keep competing.”

Although this is not directly related to the SA trades, a shipping line executive hinted to FTW that it could have an indirect repercussive effect on the lines involved in the trades.

It’s all a matter of the overall economics of the shipping line industry, and any misfortune

will roll down the line from the major trades (Asia-Europe and Asia-US trans-Pacific) where the battle for survival is actually taking place.

Maersk Line, Bloomberg added, with almost 16% of the global container market, is betting it can outlast such competitors as Japan’s Mitsui

OSK Lines (MOL) and Nippon Yusen KK (NYK), both of which have cut capacity to cope with falling freight rates. These two lines, Japan’s largest, last month cut their capacity after reversing profit forecasts to loss predictions for this fiscal year.

“Maersk is the container

line that has the scale and the strong balance sheet to play this volume game, particularly as it’s better than the competition on keeping costs low,” said Per Kronborg Jensen, a senior portfolio manager at Sparinvest.

Maersk is better positioned than rivals to ride out the container glut because its size helps it keep costs down through economies of scale, Jacob Pedersen, an analyst at Sydbank told Bloomberg. Maersk’s parent, which also owns the Nordic region’s second-largest oil company, provides a strong balance sheet to help absorb losses, he added.

Smaller shipping lines have already scaled down, according to shipping-data provider Alphaliner. CSAV, Horizon Lines, Grand China Shipping and TCC ASA, which had a combined market share of as much as 4.5% on trans-Pacific trade, have cut back, it said in a note distributed on November 8.

Joining in the ‘carve-up your competitors game’, the world’s second- and third-largest container lines, Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) and CMA CGM, also plan to squeeze rivals out of the market, said Copenhagen-based Finn Bjarke Petersen, an analyst at Nordea Bank.

The container industry will lose money this year as oversupply sends freight rates plunging, Maersk’s Andersen said. In 2009, the first year

the industry failed to turn a profit since the 1970s, Maersk Line idled ships. The company won’t do that this time and is ready to reduce prices to preserve market share, he added.

“There’s already overcapacity and the orderbooks for new ships are still big, so I don’t think that freight rates will recover enough in 2012 to make it an attractive industry to be in. There’s no need for new ships the next four years.”

African exporters should not underestimate the impact on their trade of struggling European countries, Credit Guarantee economist Luke Doig said last week.

“A saving grace for South Africa is that Greece is only our 62nd largest trading partner, so if one looks at our total insured turnover then Greece only represents 1% of that,” said Doig. “So in the bigger scheme of things Greece is very small, but one should be concerned about the effect of Greece’s turmoil on the entire Euro region and the impact that will have on South Africa and African exporters at large.”

He said while the bail-out package offered to Greece was expected to make some difference it was debatable whether this would be sufficient.

“Spain is expected to re-enter recession possibly late in the last quarter of

2011 or early 2012, while Italy will need to repay or re-finance 260 billion euro of debt next year.”

He said all this was placing pressure on banks and warned exporters not to just rely on letters of credit to ensure payment.

“The perception of the South African exporter must surely have changed by now because of the ongoing crisis,” said Doig. “In other words the debtor may pay, but the international European bank may not. The terms of bank to bank letters of credit have changed as the markets have become more volatile and really the only safe guarantee outside credit insurance is cash in advance for one’s goods.”

Momentum in the global economy has slowed and is continuing to do so, Doig added. “Taiwan is usually a very good indicator of global trade and growth, and they have had four months of negative growth. We are not seeing any

encouraging signs at the moment, and while trying to predict markets in times like these really is like looking into a crystal ball, it is important to at least be aware of the risks.”

Credit Guarantee’s general manager Theo Reddi, who recently visited several African countries, said they were extremely optimistic about the opportunities for trade on the continent.

“Having just been to Cote d’Ivoire I am very optimistic as business seems to be on the increase and there is very little sign of the civil war. We have been active in many of the African markets, like Zambia, for many years and we are seeing an increase in the insured turnover growth into Africa.”

He said this was because clients were realising and recognising the fact that they could no longer rely on traditional markets and had to branch out.

“In Africa you must be

willing to take the risk and we do it with them,” he said. “We have been into the African region and we have looked at the risks that we underwrite – in Africa you don’t underwrite perceived risks, but real risks.”

Another growing market was South America, said Reddi, especially in industries such as steel, fruit and pharmaceuticals.

Appropriate business fundamentals will be critical if transport operators want to survive the current economic conditions, according to Marcel de Klerk, Absa retail and business bank’s head of business markets.

Speaking at a business breakfast in Sandton last week, De Klerk said that these fundamentals should include costs, efficiency, the management of replacement cycles and the use of technology.

“Local manufacturers are going to have to spend on research and development if they want to remain competitive in the global context while also ensuring efficiency in a country where energy and electricity costs are extremely high.”

Absa has seen a 40% increase in vehicle credit applications this year, according to the bank’s commercial asset finance head, Nelisiwe Baloyi.

This was mostly in the medium and heavy-duty vehicles category – and while it was coming from a very low base, she said this was an extremely positive sign as operating margins remained under pressure.

According to Baloyi, arrears in rand value were also some 40% better compared to the same time last year, while Absa’s credit approval rate was up by some 90%.

“We started seeing an increase in orders from around the last quarter of 2010 throughout 2011 and have healthy order books for the next three to six months that will take us to the middle of 2012,” she said.

But, said Marcelle de Klerk, Absa retail and business bank’s head of business markets, while

the strong surge in credit applications was being welcomed the bank were still cautiously optimistic.

“A lot of these new orders are because operators have no choice but to upgrade their vehicles now. Usually assets are replaced between 36 and 48 months, but during the global economic meltdown this did not happen and people were holding on to the vehicles for much longer. So a majority of the growth we are seeing is picking up on delayed replacements of vehicles.”

This said, De Klerk pointed out that Absa was keen to lend more, saying the bank had experienced not only an increase in applications, but that the applications were also of a very high quality.

“There is therefore not just a credit appetite but also a credit quality.”

According to De Klerk, business in South Africa has moved from the stable, getting-their-house-in-order phase where they could ride out the economic storm to

one of slow growth.According to Baloyi,

increased employment levels in the transport sector as well as growth in export sales contributed positively, with domestic commercial vehicle sales showing good growth in excess of 15% year on year.

This is, however, not expected to continue in 2012. While the Absa team was not willing to commit to a figure, they did say it was expected to be “south of 15% for the coming months”.

Danie Grobbelaar of Cardio Med agrees that Transnet is the way to go but he also has his doubts.

“It should be more cost effective, but the problem is reliability and safety of cargo,” he told FTW.

Last week’s launch covers 19m tons of TFR’s general freight business. “That represents about 21% of the business we do on general freight – which is a start.

“We’ve looked at corridors where there is a lot of product moving and we want to gradually upscale into other important flows within the TFR environment,” said Gama. “But at the same time we want by mid next year to operate a fully scheduled rail service.”

improvement philosophies so that we can become more effective. We have many depots around the country with many people sitting hundreds of kilometres apart from each other. The plan is what unites our efforts.

“And in spite of the many challenges that our railway faces – and we do face many – our people are battle-ready to do whatever it takes to stick to

the scheduled railway so that when something goes wrong we can respond as quickly as possible.”

The challenges have been well documented.

The average age of the locomotives is 34 years – more than double the global average. “To address this issue we have resorted to ‘faulties’ where we put in artisans with the train drivers on some

of our older fleets so that if something goes wrong they can fix it immediately. It’s part of the fighting spirit of our people.”

Cable theft also remains a challenge. “But we are looking at various ways to detect unwanted people on our railway lines.”

The infrastructure too is very old and the maintenance regime has not supported it.

“We should be replacing track at 2000km a year – we are in fact only doing 400km, but that is changing. We’re upgrading our signalling systems and electrical support infrastructure and ensuring we have lightning-resistant equipment.”

The commitment is there, the plans are in place – but now the industry will need to see delivery.

‘Battle-ready staff will do what it takes’

meeting the committee branched away from its usual involvement with port issues and viewed a presentation from Con Roux, commercial manager of N3 Toll Concession. This outlined the shocking level of road accidents involving heavy vehicles – many of which are carrying containers and cargo to and from

the port. During 2010, he said,

there were 416 heavy vehicles crashes, over one a day, on the section of the road under N3 Toll’s control from Cedara to Heidelberg. Heavy vehicles were involved in 45.3% of the 1 103 accidents that occurred last year, causing 147 fatalities. Of those involving heavies, 268 occurred at night.

“Though the road is clearly a major route for heavy vehicles hauling between Durban and Gauteng, this statistic – that almost 50% of all accidents involve heavy vehicles – clearly indicates that there are some serious problems affecting the performance of truck transport in our country,” Watts said.

“Members of the committee who are

involved in any way in the trucking industry – not only operating but loading, receiving, booking and policing – are now committed to raising awareness of every aspect of heavy vehicle safety in their area of control.

“Only with extra vigilance from all parties involved in this industry will the carnage on our roads be reduced.”
