Calls have gone out for the appointment of a rail regulator following proposals by Transnet Freight Rail to push up rates by amounts up to more than seven times the current inflation rate.

Without a rail regulator to turn to, rail users feel they are without a voice on the issue.

TFR has proposed rate increases of between 10% and 30% depending on corridor and container category – with a national average of a 10% increase.

The proposal has stunned the SA Association of Freight Forwarders, according to maritime adviser Dave Watts, and the association – together with broader business – is busy trying to arrange a meeting with TFR senior management.

Not only does Watts see this having a serious effect on exports and imports,

which have to use rail, but it will also increase the traffic by road.

“These rail rates will increase much more than the consumer price index (CPI), and – as an organisation – we are very surprised that TFR thinks such increases are appropriate.”

Watts accused TFR of being a state-owned monopoly that feels it can arbitrarily increase rates – with no justification of each rates hike except that its costs are increasing.

“We believe that they are to fund TFR’s investment in infrastructure,” he added. “But we don’t understand, from a business perspective, why customers should pay for it in advance.

“These continually increasing logistics costs are seriously affecting this country’s ability to conduct business.”

Kevin Martin, MD of Freightliner and chairman of the Durban Harbour Carriers’ Association

(DHCA), was equally critical.

“We now have TFR operating in a silo mentality with a proposed increase of between 10% and 30%,” he said. “Unlike electricity and water – for which there is no alternative – rail has a very viable alternative, namely road.

Georgi Georgiev, an executive with rail users Grindrod Intermodal, has called for a rail regulator to be appointed.

“With inflation below 4% and the Ports Regulator cutting the Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) rates demand to a 4.49% increase,” he said, “TFR going for increases between 10% and 30% is just inconceivable.”

Industry must lobby for the rail regulator, he added.

Raj Maistry, MD of rail user JVC Freight Carriers, had just one word of criticism about the massive rates hike. “Exorbitant,” he said.

The South African freight industry’s entrepreneur extraordinaire, Warren Erfmann, is back in the headlines. The former CEO of Barloworld Logistics Middle East & Asia, Erfmann this week announced his acquisition of the Swift Freight Group of Companies from Barloworld Logistics (BWL).

The acquisition involves 100% of Swift’s global operations, except for Dubai where he holds 70% of the freight forwarding division – effectively the part that deals with Africa.

As a consequence, the name Swift Freight International will cease to exist. BWL has renamed the non-Africa portion of the business that it has retained, Barloworld Logistics. The 70% of the Dubai operations that Erfmann has acquired will now trade under the name

Swift Freight.Swift Freight in Dubai,

under the leadership of Erfmann, will continue to operate from the same four premises and the approximately 150 staff members have already been transferred from BWL.

South African born Erfmann began his career in the freight industry in 1989 and at the age of 24, in 1994, co-founded ZA Trans, which was acquired in 2004 by BWL.

Zambian authorities are set to implement a Pre-export Verification of Conformity (PVOC) to standards programme on May 1 this year.

According to a spokesman for Bureau Veritas, the inspections company contracted by the Zambian government to do the pre-shipment inspections, a road-show is scheduled for April in South Africa to inform exporters to Zambia of the new procedures, processes and rates.

“Advertisements in the national and specialised press will announce dates and venues for the road-show that will definitely visit Cape Town, Durban and Johannesburg. The aim

of these meetings will be to communicate the new import regulations,” the spokesman said.

The new import legislation, which was tabled and signed in February this year, will have significant impact on shippers from South Africa who supply nearly 50% of all imports to the landlocked country.

According to Bureau Veritas there are many benefits to the new legislation including protection of the consumer and the environment. “It will also mean more conformity assurance and faster goods release at Zambian customs offices with the appropriate Certificate of Conformity,” said the spokesman.

Not all are that optimistic though, with one transporter

who specialises in Zambia telling FTW the new legislation is likely to upset some clients.

“As it affects most of the products currently being exported to Zambia, there is no doubt that all consignments will incur major dispatch delays while awaiting this inspection,” said the transporter. “On many occasions the pre-shipment inspection cost will be more than the actual cost of the goods so I am sure that we can expect much opposition to this requirement.”

In the meantime, Zambia has maintained that like many other African countries the decision to implement a PVOC system will benefit its consumers as it will stop sub-standard

imports entering the country.The Zambian Bureau of

Standards (ZABS) introduced the new standards following much deliberation due to the challenges that came with a lack of monitoring systems in an open market economy.

According to the ZABS, all goods destined for Zambia will now be inspected in their respective countries of origin and issued with a certificate of conformity. The inspection companies in the countries of export will not inspect goods below a threshold of $100.

Goods affected by the new programme include food and agricultural products, textiles, footwear, chemical and household products, toys, childcare goods, electrical and electronic products, automotive spare parts and all used products.

Zambia to implement mandatory pre-shipment inspectionsConcerns raised about delays and costs Zambia has not fully taken

advantage of the Africa Growth Opportunity Act due to supply side constraints, says Zambia Development Agency’s Moses Simemba.

Quoted on Agoa.info, Simemba said Zambia’s competitive advantage lay in the export of gemstones, floricultural and horticultural products such as cut flowers and high-value vegetables like mange tout and baby corn. “Currently Zambia has three vegetables eligible to be exported to the USA under Agoa.

“However, we are unable to export garments and textile products to the USA because the sector has virtually collapsed because of competition from second-hand clothes and a lack of new investment in the sector.”

In a bid to create jobs and boost infrastructure, South Africa’s entire transport chain – roads, rail, ports and airports – is set for a multibillion rand boost, according to Transport Director-General George Mahlalela.

Addressing delegates at the AfricaRoads 2011 indaba in Sandton last week, Mahlalela said up to R800 million would be spent over the next five years on massive upgrades of roads, rail, ports and airports in the country.

In addition R22 billion will be allocated over the next three years for provincial roads infrastructure, to fix potholes, improve rural roads and carry out an asset

management register of the country’s road system.

The bad news is that not all the money for upgrades will come from government coffers. Money will be made up through public private partnerships and taxation.

Mahlalela said that the recent furore over government’s stalled toll road plans did not mean that the public would be let off the hook.

“On the one hand we have beautiful roads but people think they don’t have to pay for them…we find ourselves in a situation where infrastructure needs to be replaced but the challenge is how we pay for it without choking the economic livelihood of users,” he said.

Transport Minister Sbu

Ndebele told Parliament on Wednesday that tolling remained one of the most viable means of funding transport infrastructure all over the world. “Many countries – developing and developed – including China, the United Kingdom and the United States of America use tolling to raise funds for the construction of much-needed transport infrastructure.”

The divisional manager of road management systems for the Roads Authority in Namibia, Sophie Tekie, said failure to spend on upgrading infrastructure in her country would lead to further deterioration that would cost even more to fix.

Issues relating to safety and creating “an African

infrastructure” standard came up at the two-day indaba attended by delegates from all over Africa.

The RMB/BER Business Confidence Index (BCI) jumped from 44 points in the fourth quarter of 2010 to 55 in the first quarter of 2011, indicating that strong GDP growth was probably sustained during the early months of 2011.

An index number in net positive territory – i.e. above the neutral level of 50 – means there are now more companies that are optimistic than pessimistic about prevailing business conditions, said Ettienne Le Roux, chief economist at RMB.

The last time this was the case was three years ago.

“Other than prospective higher levels of corporate investment, what the latest RMB/BER BCI results also imply is that growth momentum is spreading,” he said.

Fresh produce exporters in SA are fighting to have a ban by Thailand on the fruit industry’s products lifted, according to Anton Rabe, executive director of Hortgro Services.

It all revolves round a technical error in SA’s documentation submitted to the Thailand authorities after that country joined the World Trade Organisation (WTO) in 2008, he told FTW, and had to change its import mechanisms and get in line with international protocol.

Effectively, it requested all its trading partners to indicate that they had fulfilled all the necessary export conditions for each of their export products – which, in the case of fresh produce from SA, were that we fulfilled the necessary phyto-sanitary conditions.

But there was a technical

error in SA’s submission and, instead of giving us a window to correct this mistake, said Rabe, Thailand slapped a unilateral ban on SA fresh fruits.

A major problem caused by SA’s exit from this market, according to Elaine Alexander, executive director of the SA Table Grape Industry, is that it sends the wrong signal to other members of the Asian trading group, Asean.

“We need to have our association with Thailand renewed,” she said, “otherwise we’ll be sending the wrong message to other potential trading partners in the region such as Cambodia, Vietnam and the like.”

And government is busy trying to rectify this problem.

A meeting has just been held in Pretoria involving the departments of international relations and co-operation

(Dirco), trade and industry, agriculture, forestry and fisheries; the Bureau for Food and Agriculture Policy and government lawyers dealing with trade matters; and various representatives of trade bodies including the SA pome, stone fruit and table grape industries.

Also present was the SA ambassador to Thailand, Douglas Gibson.

“The meeting brought together government and the business sector with the objective of discussing and exploring all possible avenues to resolve the ban imposed by Thailand in 2008,” FTW was told.

And, according to a recent study by the Bureau for Food and Agricultural Policy in the Western Cape, this ban on the exportation of SA fresh produce to Thailand has had a devastating effect, with

export losses estimated at R150-million per year. This has led to job losses in the industry and concomitant socio-economic problems in the communities serving the fruit industry.

Although it’s a relatively small market, said Rabe, “it was growing nicely, at about 5% a year, I reckon.

“And some of our SA fruit products are more suited in flavour to the Asian palate than those of the

traditional markets in Europe and the UK.”

Ambassador Gibson indicated that the SA Embassy in Bangkok had had continuous discussions with a wide range of decision-makers in Thailand in an attempt to achieve a breakthrough. He felt that this latest meeting in Pretoria would give fresh impetus to the resolution of the issue.

Gauteng residents up in arms over “exorbitant” toll tariffs may find some allies in the Western Cape where the provincial government is looking at implementing the toll system sooner rather than later.

According to Robin Carlisle, Western Cape MEC for Transport and Public Works, the provincial government formally approached the South African National Roads Agency Ltd (Sanral) three years ago to have a toll system implemented in the province.

“Tolling is a complex subject that evokes emotional responses from

people. We believe it is a system that will benefit the Western Cape, and Sanral has already done a major economic impact study. The provincial government is in the process of doing a similar study,” he told delegates at the Transport Forum at the University of Stellenbosch recently.

He said Sanral and the Western Cape government were involved in talks around tolling the province and they were already close to the point where tenders would be going out.

“We have yet to decide exactly where the tolls will be and what fees will be involved, but the plan we are looking at includes this as well as the development

of some new roads. We understand that while tolls can be a financial burden on road users, there is no doubt that the principle of tolling works.”

He said unlike Gauteng, the province would not be looking at a high-speed rail link such as Gautrain in the immediate future. “The Gautrain project took a major chunk of the budget at the cost of hospitals and schools and other parts of the economy. That is not going to happen in the Western Cape as we believe in looking at the big picture.”

He said while a high-speed rail system for passenger transport was not being ruled out as yet, it

was just not a main priority at present. “We need to address freight rail first and find a way of not being so dependent on road. At present we just don’t have a funding model that will allow the development of freight rail in the Western Cape.”

South Africa’s automotive industry has driven into 2011 in a much more positive frame of mind, with plans to invest billions of rand.

“The automotive industry’s performance in 2010 and the momentum carried over into 2011 represents a solid platform for the industry to build on this year,” says the National Association of Automobile Manufacturers of South Africa (Naamsa) in its comment on the February sales.

Total industry sales for the first two months of 2011 were 21.9% ahead of the corresponding two months in 2010.

Naamsa expects total domestic sales in 2011 to grow by 10% to 15% in volume

terms compared to 2010.Exports are expected to

reach 300 000 units in 2011. The confidence of the

motor industry is shared by the logistics chain.

Medium and heavy truck sales in February were up by 271 units or 45.9% in the case of medium commercials, and 225 units or 19.3% in the case of Heavy Trucks and Buses compared to the corresponding month last year.

Light commercial, bakkie and minibus sales were 11.3% up on February 2010.

At an infrastructure level, Grindrod’s car terminal in the port of Maputo is set for continued expansion, with the company predicting in its annual report for 2010 that volumes are expected to grow as the local auto

industry recovers.At least three original

equipment manufacturers are evaluating Maputo as an export hub.

This will move volumes mainly from the Durban car terminal.

The motor industry itself

is planning to invest nearly R4 billion in production facilities, land and buildings, and support infrastructure in 2011, and a further R4.5 billion in 2012.

“The increase in capital expenditure during 2010 and planned for 2011 may be

attributed to the finalisation of the Investment Guidelines and Investment Projects by manufacturers to gear up for the impending Automotive Production and Development Programme (APDP),” says Naamsa director Nico Vermeulen.

The Customer Is Always King

By Joy Orlek

In the intensely competitive automotive industry, the priority focus is efficiency and cost savings.

“For manufacturers it’s a question of looking into innovative solutions for cost reduction and efficiency improvements such as inventory control and optimising material flow from suppliers into manufacturing plants,” says UTi’s regional vice president – automotive for Africa, Frank Vorrath.

“The focus is always on freight optimisation and network modelling to ensure that we come up with innovative solutions like packaging optimisation.”

One of the company’s award-winning solutions did just that. “By increasing the packaging density and

coming up with a product to increase utilisation we were able to reduce transportation costs for a major car manufacturer, resulting in a saving in excess of R80m – which is significant,” Vorrath told FTW.

“We’re working with some of our customers on similar systems and combining that with inventory control and material flow to ensure synchronised supplies.”

Automotive has always been a major focus for UTi, says Vorrath. “We’ve been in the automotive game for 15-20 years in South Africa and have developed several innovative end-to-end supply chain solutions that have been transferred globally. We believe in knowledge and solution transfer and there’s a lot of global alignment, much of which has started in South Africa.”

The company recently opened a supply design and innovation centre at Coega where there are 20 experts concentrating on supply chain optimisation.

“Their focus is cost reductions and efficiency improvements as a part of the supply chain innovation and design. Shareholders are looking for cash flow improvements and we are focusing on bringing the solutions to this.”

While the company’s automotive business is largely import-driven, Vorrath notes that exports of fully built units are accelerating.

“Volumes are not where they were in 2006, but there is a definite upturn. “The industry has a vision called 2020 where South Africa wants to produce one million vehicles for export. Our

aim is to support industry to achieve those kinds of volumes – but it will only happen if the industry remains competitive which means optimisation and supply chain solutions are key.”

Equally important is collaboration, in Vorrath’s view, particularly in South Africa where volumes are small compared to the rest of the world.

“South Africa focuses on exports to traditional markets like Europe and you can only compete with countries like Thailand, Turkey and Mexico if you are cost-efficient.”

For the future Vorrath is upbeat.

“My outlook is very positive. We foresee an increase of at least 15% based on our big clients like Volkswagen, which concentrates on exports.

They have big plans to increase volumes from 100 000 to 150 000 vehicles per annum, which is a very positive sign for the entire industry.

“Others will follow soon with positive volume growth.”

It is not only South Africa’s auto industry that is fired up about sales in 2011.

Nine out of 10 automotive CEOs surveyed by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) in the fourth quarter of 2010 were confident that growth was on the rise in 2011.

In its comment on the South African market issued in February, the National Association of Automobile Manufacturers of South Africa (Naamsa) said: “Factoring in the expected improvement in domestic sales together with further substantial anticipated growth in exports, domestic production of motor vehicles in South Africa during 2011 was expected to rise from the approximately 472 000 vehicles produced in 2010 to about 555 000 units in 2011 – an increase in vehicle production of about 17.5%”.

Exports are expected to exceed 300 000 units (up from 239 456

vehicles exported in 2010) – an improvement of over 25%.

CEOs interviewed for the PwC study predict that about 80% of global growth from 2010 to 2017 will come from emerging markets, with China accounting for 34% of that.

China is now the largest automotive market, and there are already more automotive assembly plants in China than anywhere else in the world.

Rick Hanna, PwC global automotive leader, says the survey results indicate that innovation across the supply chain is critical to meeting consumer demands.

“Today the supply chain is more diverse than the industry has seen in the past. The supply base and partnerships have expanded to include battery makers, technology companies and energy companies to advance the development of electric vehicles and the infrastructures to support future demand and the technology platforms inside today’s vehicles.”

Regarded by many OEMs and OEM sub-suppliers as their ‘global shipping adviser and partner’, Lord is credited with spearheading a number of ‘beyond the port’ OEM cargo delivery initiatives at Safmarine.

His ability to think out of the box on service also led to the on-site appointment of Safmariners at OEM plants, not only to provide hands-on logistics support but also to manage import and export shipments and billing.

“One of Rob’s particular strength’s was his ability to provide door-to-door transport solutions for OEMs by encouraging closer cooperation between the different stakeholders in the supply chain,” said Safmarine’s Dave Everett.

“Many of the initiatives introduced by Rob during the past decade have not only been copied by other shipping lines, but have become the industry standard.”

Lord, who took particular pride in the local auto industry’s many successes, including its ability to compete globally on quality, believes the new Automotive Production & Development

Programme (APDP) will help grow the industry even further by providing additional opportunities for OEMs to increase volumes and achieve greater economies of scale.

“OEMs need to make the most of the opportunities presented by the APDP. They need to work closely with shipping lines to identify possible markets where they can benefit from export opportunities on ‘back haul’ routes, equipment cabotage or repositioning options. In so doing they will grow their volumes and leverage the APDP’s economy-of-scale benefits even further,” says Lord.

The new generation of Safmariners who continue to build on the foundations set by the likes of Lord are Craig McCarthy, Dave Everett and Dieter Veening who are, respectively, responsible for the GM, Ford and Daimler accounts.

The drive by Mercedes Benz South Africa (MBSA) to achieve greater efficiencies and reduced logistical costs is set to gather speed when a new carrier haulage arrangement – which will optimise the number of container moves between port and plant – comes into effect in April this year.

Safmarine, supported by its logistics partner Roadwing, has signed an agreement on behalf of its Europe-South Africa trade partners – DAL, MOL and Maersk Line. The line has appointed Safmariner Wayne Hudson to oversee operations in East London to ensure the efficient delivery and distribution

of containers to, from and within the MBSA plant.

According to Safmarine’s MBSA key account manager, Dieter Veening: “Safmarine and Roadwing’s aim is to work closely with MBSA to maximise efficiencies by significantly reducing both the number of container moves and the number of trucks and trailers used to move the boxes.

“Not only will this reduce costs, but having more control over what happens between the port and the plant will also allow us to be more proactive and improve communication and productivity by providing a ‘one-stop-shop’ service.”

Logistics costs are seen as a “key risk” to exports of new vehicles from South Africa.

“Reliance on exports is a key risk for South African manufacturers, together with possible increases in logistics costs,” says Gavin Maile, automotive director at KPMG.

Shipping costs could increase in the short

term as world volumes increased and the pressure on rates reduced, warned Brand Pretorius, former chairperson of the McCarthy Motor Group.

In the medium term, the question was whether South Africa’s “congested” ports, road and rail infrastructure could cater for significant continued growth in exports.

Questions also remain

about what support the Automotive Production and Development Plan (APDP) will provide for the industry.

Industry leaders have consistently called for support because South Africa’s distance from the main markets and supply hubs around the world put the local industry at a disadvantage in terms of logistics costs.

Automotive volumes are on the increase as the country recovers from the global financial crisis and demand improves, according to Auriel Newman, executive manager key accounts and customer services for South African Airways Cargo (SAAC).

“One of the challenges we currently face is ensuring we have sufficient capacity to meet this demand both in the short and medium term,” she said.

It is a demand that is expected to grow. Volkswagen and Daimler Chrysler have recently awarded two new projects to South African plants and as a result more capacity into and out of Europe will be required.

“Airfreight demand for the automotive industry is expected to grow over the next few months both for incoming parts and outgoing parts and units,” said Newman. “The overall

impact on the economy should also improve as exports grow due to this demand as well as favourable foreign exchange rates.”

According to Newman, the automotive industry forms a critical part of both the export and import business of SAAC and various steps are being taken to ensure the airline can offer a consistent and safe service while meeting the demand.

“SAA will be undergoing fleet adjustments in the near future with the introduction of the A330-200s, and this will be one area of priority to ensure the demand is met,” she said.

With automotive air freight, by its very nature, being time- and handling-sensitive, the recent introduction of the iCargo system by SAAC has been broadly welcomed by the industry, said Newman.

Africa presents the biggest opportunity for the South African automotive industry, according to Gavin Maile, automotive director at KPMG.

Speaking in Port Elizabeth at a function to brief the industry on the findings of KPMG’s 2011 Global Automotive Survey, Maile said prospects for Africa were improving.

Political stability, economic growth and investment in road infrastructure were all helping to build up demand for vehicles on the continent.

He urged the local industry to take a closer look at Africa because respondents to the global survey predicted that even the remaining high-growth markets such as China, India and Brazil would “be overbuilt” within the next five years.

Importers are still evaluating the full impact of the recently proposed 5% increase in ad valorem duties on luxury vehicles due to take effect on April 1, as well as the weaker rand, says J-L Koekemoer, systems architect for SHIP-SHAPE Software.

But, he says, with importers and exporters having very little control over the machinations of the rand, it is now more than ever necessary to have software in place that can add value to a business.

“The automotive industry is an ever-changing environment, in terms of business requirements and technological advancements. It means that we have an ever-present opportunity to enhance our software and offer a more valuable solution to our clients,” says Koekemoer. “From the industry’s perspective, depending on factors like the rand’s position against the dollar, euro and yen and the current five-year extension of MIDP which comes to an end next year, there are still opportunities to save money on imports by increasing foreign currency earnings on exports.”

In little less than two years’ time the implementation of the APDP (Automotive Production Development Programme) will begin. The successor of the

current MIDP programme will be active for at least seven years to 2020.

“One of the key differences is that no further reduction in tariffs will be effected,” says Koekemoer.

“Having served the freight forwarding and Customs clearing community for almost 24 years, SHIP-SHAPE Software was one of the first companies to develop and implement a robust Excel-based supplier invoice importing mechanism which makes light work of large consignments comprising several hundred lines.

“Gone are the days when an entry clerk spends two or three full days framing a 700-line customs declaration. With the supplier invoice this process takes a couple of minutes at most,” says Koekemoer.

This is what makes the difference in the highly competitive and ever-changing environment of the automotive industry, in his view.

“The two most important factors are time saving and accuracy. For example, in terms of complete units being imported, the agent has a limited window of opportunity to clear the consignment through Customs, sometimes comprising several hundred vehicles at a time. The slightest delay in this process can result in storage fees of thousands

of rands per day, and the risk of penalties for incorrect duty declarations needs to be mitigated by a system with a solid tariffing engine,” says Koekemoer.

“But clearing the declarations through Customs is just one aspect. Having your permits, Duty Credit Certificates and Rebate Credit Certificates all tracked from within one system ensures that you know in real time the current balance and complete history of any permit or credit certificate, provided you are the only agent transacting on that permit or certificate on behalf of the importer.”

Cardboard has found favour with a nuts and bolts exporter in Johannesburg, proving that even heavy automotive components with little or no load structure can be packaged this way.

According to Jan Vreken, director of CX Pallets, a specialist manufacturer of cardboard pallets and boxes, the need for more environmentally friendly packaging led the exporter to his door.

“The company’s European client was demanding packaging that was environmentally friendly and would meet the stringent requirements of that country. Having previously used wood, an alternative had to be found,” Vreken told FTW. The exporter had been placing a wooden frame in each box to prevent bulging when exporting about 800kg of steel nuts and bolts per box to Germany.

“Effectively complaints were being received about the rust on the steel parts caused by the wet wood. We addressed this problem by developing inserts made from cardboard that fulfilled the same role as the wooden frame. On top of this, when it came to recycling the box at the receiving end, the client could now pulp the box and inserts together. Previously, the process of separating the outer cardboard box and the inner wooden frame was very labour-intensive and expensive.”

According to Vreken, to ensure an even more environmentally friendly packaging, a cardboard pallet capable of not only holding the 800kg per box but also strong enough to be stacked four boxes high, was developed for the client.

“It has been two years since we provided this total cardboard solution – and there have been no glitches. Not only has money been saved in terms of recycling, but there have also been added benefits of not having to fumigate any of the pallets or inner frames to comply with international shipping regulations concerning raw wood,” he said.

The Grindrod Maputo Car Terminal has recorded significant growth over the past year, regional manager for Grindrod Terminals Mozambique, Pieter Venter, told FTW. “It’s the advantage of starting at zero base and developing year on year to maximum capacity,” he said.

“We believe that the automotive sector in Mozambique will see huge growth over the next year,” he told FTW.

With Phase 2 of the development of the car

terminal in the pipeline, more direct calls from shipping lines, and the development of rail infrastructure, much is expected in the next few years of the port and the car terminal, he said.

The car terminal spans an area of 34 757m² and began operating in November 2007. With an initial capacity to park about 1 455 cars and an annual throughput capacity of 52 000 cars (based on a six-day dwell time), the terminal offers an immediate solution to complement the South African car terminals which are operating under

severe capacity constraints, says Venter. “Maputo is ideally situated to serve as a complementary port for the import and export of vehicles delivering to, or manufactured in Gauteng.

“For Maputo, the

automotive industry is a fairly new venture and the typical challenges faced are generating balanced cargo streams, ensuring competitive transportation tariffs, and developing rail infrastructure specific to the automotive

sector,” says Venter. “The opportunities however are endless. There is still room and opportunity for OEMs to secure the footprint required and to participate in establishing purpose-built facilities.”

In the face of escalating threats and risks at sea, the South African Maritime Safety Authority has installed sophisticated navigation satellite systems or Long Range Identification and Tracking (LRIT) to monitor and track vessels south of the equator, executive head of Samsa’s Centre for Sea Watch & Response (CSWR), Karl Otto, said last week.

Addressing an international conference hosted by the Responsible

Packaging Management Association of South Africa in Durban, Otto said the introduction of the LRIT followed concerns over the safety of seafarers and the standard of ships within South African waters. It also serves as a mechanism to prevent piracy.

The LRIT has the capacity to identify and track vessels up to 1 000 nautical miles (1 850 kilometres) from our coastline as well as South Africa-flagged (South African-registered) vessels

anywhere in the world. “This is a revolutionary

development in the security of our seas. Until now we had very limited capacity to identify, track and monitor shipping beyond the horizon. Many ships have sailed our waters without our knowledge. Some may even have polluted our waters unbeknown to us,” said Otto.

“Until now we have not been able to track vessels that may have carried toxic and hazardous cargo to South African ports or were

transiting our waters to foreign destinations.”

Samsa recently created an ‘Office for Dangerous Goods’ to ensure compliance, and to ensure that the movement of cargo is safe and all possibilities of damage are avoided.

“We need to ensure the pressures of making profit do not force companies to compromise on safety.”

While to date the movement of cargo along the South African coast has not been affected by piracy,

the LRIT navigation system is in place to monitor our waters. Samsa, through the International Maritime Organisation, has extended an invitation to other African countries and member states to utilise the equipment.

JVC launches streamlined new logistics option for reefer cargoBy Alan Peat

The Durban road freight brokerage services company, JVC Freight Carriers, has just opened a new niche market in association with one of its road transport partners, according to MD Raj Maistry.

This, he told FTW, cuts out the use of cold stores in the reefer (refrigerated) container supply chain, a significant logistics cost saving.

“We were very excited that a road transport partner had acquired 22 generator sets (gensets) for transporting reefer containers,” Maistry added.

“Before, all chilled or frozen cargoes had to go to a cold store, and then be transferred into reefer trucks for the haul to their destination. But now we can pick up the reefer cargo container right from the source’s door and transport it

direct to its destination while keeping it suitably chilled all the way along the delivery route.”

JVC Freight has recorded substantial growth in its 19-year history.

“This company success,” said Maistry, “was primarily due to every transport need in the ever-increasing and demanding transport logistics industry being supplied by one organisation.”

Signalling its successful development, JVC Freight fulfils the conditions of the ISO 9001:2008 quality management system standard, has a level two broad-based black economic empowerment (B-BBEE) rating, and is a member of the Durban Harbour Carriers’ Association (DHCA) section of the SA Association of Freight Forwarders.

It conducts domestic

and overborder logistics, distribution and transportation.

There is some doubt about the feasibility of the proposed 230-hectare logistics park at Empangeni, designed to serve Richards Bay (FTW February 25, 2011).

Any future it has would

be dictated by containerised cargo, according to a senior executive in the freight industry. And members of the logistics industry don’t develop such centres then wait for the cargo to come to them.

“We follow the demand,” said the FTW source. “Not the

other way round. You don’t put together a project and expect the demand to come to you,”

He saw only two saving graces for the new logistics park. “Any viable logistics park has to be near a major container port to produce the volumes it would need to

justify it,” he added. It might work, if Richards Bay wass chosen as the second port to Durban, taking all the future overflow of containers from there; and if Transnet decides to build a full-scale rail link from Gauteng to Richards Bay – designed to carry

container traffic.This might happen,

depending on what government decides. But the present-day focus at Richards Bay is purely on bulk cargoes, and the current rail link is dedicated to the transport of coal.

South Africa’s consistently high total cost of logistics continues to hamper the country’s economic growth – having decreased by just 1.2% between 2008 and 2009, from 14.7% to 13.5% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

This is according to the 7th State of Logistics™ survey released last week by the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), IMPERIAL Logistics and Stellenbosch University.

“Total logistics costs should have been significantly lower in 2009 due to the financial crisis and contraction of the economy,” said Hans Ittmann, executive director of the CSIR. “It would have been fair to have expected this percentage to have dropped to a level of closer to 12.5% given the downward changes in the two leading cost drivers, namely the sharp drop in the price of diesel and in the interest rate.”

Speaking at the launch of the survey Abrie de Swardt,

marketing director for IMPERIAL Logistics, said it was important for South Africa to see the big picture of its high transport and logistics cost. “We represent ‘Brand South Africa’ and it is time we realise that government and the private sector must work together to find solutions to these costs whether we like it or not.

“It is not about road or rail and the two modes competing, but rather about South Africa optimising its entire system. We compete with other countries that are

going to take volumes away from this country so best we do something about standing together as an industry to make sure we capture those volumes.”

The survey – themed Value Creation towards Global Competitiveness and Sustainability – found that while investment into transport infrastructure had been necessary, it had also been costly, with a major concern being the effect of the recovery of infrastructural development costs over the next few years.

The logistics industry has not escaped South Africa’s widely documented skills shortage, said Abrie de Swardt, marketing director for IMPERIAL Logistics, at the launch of the 7th State of Logistics survey in Johannesburg last week.

“The logistics sector cannot ignore the problem of skills for much longer. We don’t need a dual strategy but rather a triple strategy to close the gap between schools and university, and university and the work place,” he said.

Citing a survey by Grant Thornton, De Swardt said it had been found that 34% of South Africa’s privately owned businesses considered the lack of a skilled workforce to have been the biggest constraint to business growth in recent years.

“Another study has shown that South Africa has one of the lowest literacy levels in the world. The picture for maths looks even more dismal. We need to ask ourselves how we will run successful businesseses if we do not have

people of world class level in terms of literacy and numeracy on board.”

He said while government maintained that education and skills development remained at the core of its policies, business needed to align strategies to embrace this.

“The answer lies in collaboration at various levels. From the identification of and investment in learnerships to closer working relations with the SETAs, academia and social partners.”

The logistics industry more than any other industry felt the full brunt of the recession, says Roslyn Wilson, author of the American State of Logistics survey.

Speaking via video link from America at the launch of the South African 7th State of Logistics survey, she said the cost of logistics as a percentage of GDP declined almost $300 billion during the recession.

“After rising almost 50% in the lead up to the recession, costs fell dramatically,” she said. The total cost of logistics fell to 7.7% of GDP, the lowest ever recorded since the survey began some 20 years ago in America.

“Retailers responded to the drop in consumer spending by carrying less inventory so as not to be caught in the predicament of 2009. Manufacturers followed the lead ordering processes with suppliers following suit and holding back on inventory.

“Inventory recovery has already started, which is a welcome sign for this segment, however it will be

well into 2011 before we even begin to see improvement in the logistics industry.”

Wilson said much had been done in the US to improve the supply chain in an effort to come out of the recession better and stronger, with many lessons having been learnt.

She said with all modes of transport having experienced double-digit losses in 2009, much was expected from 2010, which showed strong signs of recovery only to slow down in the second part of the year.

“More than 1400 carriers entered bankruptcy in the recession and rates remain depressed. We believe as the economy strengthens in 2011, tight capacity constraints will drive rates up.

She said with a 2.3% growth expected for the US economy there was still a long road before total recovery ahead.

“The US is not really going to lead the world out of the recession. Each country and region is going to have to correct things in their economies. We will come out a little stronger, but we

It is all very well that the SA Revenue Service (Sars) manifest acquittal system (MAS) applies to seafreight and airfreight cargo imports, but this means that road transport is deprived of what would be a very beneficial system, according to Brian Kalshoven, GM of Beitbridge Border Clearing Agency.

And, he added, this electronic data interchange (EDI) version of cargo clearance could be more simply applied to the

roadfreight industry than to the other two modes.

“But it’s not the case. We are still being held responsible for seeing that every load on a truck is cleared before it is released. If a vehicle departs the border with one of its loads inadvertently uncleared, Sars takes no responsibility, despite them having the final say on release or not.”

And the authorities don’t seem to have any plans to remedy this concern. “Much easier to whack the clearing agent with an

enormous penalty.”The basic aims of the

MAS are just what the road transport industry is desperately looking for, Kalshoven said.

receiving cargo •information electronically before a vehicle’s arrival; subjecting cargo •information to risk profiling before the arrival of the cargo in order to timeously identify goods that require intervention; ensuring that all •cargo discharged is accounted for by a valid

customs process; acquitting manifests •electronically against import declarations; basing customs •interventions on exceptions; making optimum use of •electronic data interchange for the communication of cargo information; and establishing an efficient •paperless environment and eradicating laborious manual tasks.”This, he added, would

overcome all the problems of the current manual system.

“The acquittal and control of manifests on a manual, paper-based process is slow and inefficient.

There is a lack of proper cohesion between manifest control and clearance processes and too many parties are involved in decision-making, which minimises control over the complete process.

“The quicker Sars gets round to applying the MAS to roadfreight the better it will be for us – instead of fighting the current, out-of-date system.”

South Africa last week played host to a major delegation of British companies exploring trade opportunities here.

From architects and career development specialists to pharmaceutical companies and makers of children’s play gadgets, the delegation formed part of a UK Trade & Investment mission from three regions in Britain: London, Yorkshire & Humber, and the South West.

“These companies are here because they wish to expand trade relations between the United Kingdom and South Africa. This trade mission is the first step on that journey,” UK Trade Commissioner to South Africa Andy Henderson told guests at a networking session in Johannesburg.

Delegates said there was enthusiasm about doing business in South Africa, fuelled in part by ministerial and trade mission visits to the UK in the past year, as well as the hosting of the 2010 soccer world cup, among other key developments.

Durban-born Nesh Naicker, business partnerships manager of Career Development Group (CDG), said the company wanted to meet with business leaders to explore opportunities to develop cross-border partnership working opportunities. “Given the high unemployment and low level of literacy in South Africa, skills upliftment is high on our agenda,” she said.

Architect Peter Hopkins said his company, with over 35 years of experience in design, wanted to explore synergy with local consultants and contractors.

Prean Pather has been appointed area director for East and South Africa at Wilhelmsen Ships Service covering Egypt, Djibouti, Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, South Africa, Namibia and the Islands off East Africa.

Pather, who will be located in Durban, was previously general manager of Wilhelmsen Ships Service in South Africa, Kenya and Tanzania. He holds a diploma in Container Management and is continuing his studies towards obtaining his degree specialising in entrepreneurship through the University of South Africa.

“The trade relations between India and South Africa continue to grow from strength to strength. We are seeing a lot more commodities such as coal being exported from South Africa to India. The same is happening in Mozambique, with many projects in the pipeline for coal being controlled by large Indian companies,” says Pather.

“Africa plays an important part in the global economy and as many of

the countries in Africa are developing economies, we expect to see much better GDP growth rates in the years to come. South Africa, as an emerging market, has a very positive impact on the whole continent.”

Wilhelmsen Ships Service supplies Unitor marine products, Nalfleet chemicals, technical services, ships agency services and maritime logistics.

The role played by South Africa’s export community can never be underestimated and there is no doubt that the country’s exporters have what it takes to become internationally competitive.

But exporters cannot function in a vacuum.

Benno Woznica has been exporting for more than 25 years and is an expert on markets from the north to the south.

“Everything in South Africa is in place – from the infrastructure to the banking system – to make us globally competitive exporters, but we are not promoting our exports enough. Government and the private sector must work together to ensure more business profile matches are made, that we are truly reaching our potential and stimulating exports.”

Woznica, founder and owner of Identity Watch, a Cape Town-based exporting company, put his money where his mouth is and invested heavily in a second company when he and his daughters bought African Souvenirs in Johannesburg.

“This move has led to us now also being manufacturers,” says Woznica. “We have been exporting watches and clocks with corporate logos around the world for years. Now we are trading as African Souvenirs and have entered the souvenir market, manufacturing a wide range of products in Johannesburg.”

From teaspoons and key rings to copper-plated animals, the range of extensive products is finding homes across the world. “Curios made in Africa are highly sought after,” says Alexa Woznica.

“We have invested over a million rand in this new venture. We believe in the future of exports and that South Africa has an important role to play – not just in Africa, but the world.”

Exporting is facing serious challenges though, says Woznica. “The currency is against us at present as our products are expensive in the international markets. Also the cost of freight has substantially increased, especially in and around Africa, where there are so many other factors at play such as security or the non-arrival of goods at the final destination. Also air freight rates are extremely expensive making it not a viable option.”

The ‘Made In Africa’ trademark has much potential, says Woznica. That was one of the reasons

we decided to invest in manufacturing – but it cannot be too pricey.

“We must recognise that we cannot compete with the quantities being

manufactured in China for instance, but we can produce well-manufactured goods at a steady rate to be sold at competitive prices anywhere in the world.”

According to the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), the fourth of the Incoterms – Carriage and Insurance Paid To (CIP), at a named place of destination – means that “the seller delivers the goods to the carrier or another person nominated by the seller at an agreed place (if any such place is agreed by the parties) and that the seller must contract for and pay the costs of carriage necessary to bring the goods to the named place of destination”.

The ICC’s Incoterms ®2010 identifies ten obligations that the buyer may need to fulfil in terms of Ex Works: (1) general obligations of the buyer; (2) licences, authorisations, security clearances and other formalities; (3) contract of carriage and insurance; (4) taking delivery; (5) transfer of risks; (6) allocation of costs; (7) notices to the seller; (8) proof of delivery; (9) inspection of goods; and (10) assistance with information and related costs.

The general obligation of the buyer is essentially to pay the price of the goods in accordance with the contract of sale. In respect of the licences, authorisations, security clearances and formalities, the buyer must obtain these at his own risk and expense and also needs to account for all import (customs) formalities. With respect to the contracts of carriage and insurance, the buyer has no obligation to contract for these.

As for the delivery, the buyer must take delivery of the goods when they have been delivered in accordance with the contract of sale, and receive the goods from the carrier at the named place of destination.

The transfer of risk implies that the buyer will bear all risks of loss or of damage to the goods from the time that they have been delivered. As for the allocation of costs, the buyer is responsible for all costs from the time of delivery.

Should the buyer be entitled to determine the time for the dispatch or delivery of the goods, he must provide the seller with sufficient notification.

The buyer must accept the transport document provided by the seller. With respect to the inspection of the goods, the buyer must pay the costs of any mandatory pre-shipment inspection, unless such inspection is mandated by the authorities in the country of export.

As for the assistance with information (including security-related information) and related costs, the buyer must, in a timely manner, advise the seller of this and also reimburse the seller for any expenses incurred.

In next week’s issue we will provide a summary of Carriage and Insurance Paid To (CIP).

Ships on South African waters could be vulnerable to attack from pirates especially since piracy has already reached the Mozambique coast, according to Captain Brian Watt, the former chief executive of the South African Maritime Safety Authority.

“It (any form of attack) is possible, however, in South Africa we suffer tremendously rough seas throughout the year, and I doubt that the boats used by the pirates would survive in our waters. However, having said that, it is possible,” he said.

Earlier this month the International Maritime Organisation said there had been 286 piracy-related incidents off the coast of Somalia in the past 12 months; 67 ships had been hijacked with 1130 seafarers on board; and 714 seafarers were being held for ransom on 30 ships scattered at various points of the country’s coastline.

Watt said the South African defence force’s

patrolling of the sea in Mozambique to combat piracy was important since it had already reached the channel.

“If the patrol was able to engage with pirates I trust that they would not be as lenient as the EU forces and behave more like the Russians and Indians.”

Russia and India have intensified their efforts against piracy in the Gulf of Aden, including the use of covert action against pirates.

Watt said South Africa had laws in place to deal with pirates and believed that rough seas and the fact that sheltered landing sites along the coastline were few and far between, deterred criminals.

But this could change in an instant.

Retired SA Navy officer Captain Jock Deacon said appropriate legislation was in place and that the government had a duty to protect people and property.

In his 30 years at sea, Captain Deacon said he had never experienced piracy.

Proposed changes to the country’s maritime laws could result in congestion at ports and increased operating costs, according to Zola Stephen, the Transnet group executive: legal, corporate and public affairs.

Stephen said the changes to legislation mooted in the Merchant Shipping Safe Containers Bill could have severe financial implications and result in congestion at ports.

Transnet responded to the Bill in a document tabled earlier this month during a meeting of the Portfolio Committee on Transport in Parliament.

The proposals also make provision for the South African Maritime Safety Authority to appoint inspectors with powers to examine containers before they are transported anywhere in the country.

In terms of the proposal, an inspector appointed by the Authority could board

any vehicle, including a ship, train, truck or aircraft, or enter any premises if he or she believes on reasonable grounds that there is significant evidence that the condition of a container in or on such vehicle or premises creates a risk to safety.

Stephen said Transnet, which is the country’s largest and most crucial part of the freight logistics chain delivering goods throughout the country, believed this would result in delays at ports, push up costs and itself pose

safety hazards. However, members of

the portfolio committee on transport expressed concern about the issues raised by Transnet. “The objections on the grounds of cost must be weighed up against the greater risk of losing a ship.”

Transnet general manager: group compliance, Indira Reddy, acknowledged the committee’s concerns, saying they had no intention of delaying the process of the Bill and would abide by the final decision.

There was also unhappiness from the Chemical & Allied Industries Association (CAIA), which transports an estimated 90% of its freight by road and is already subject to a variety of requirements.

“Most chemicals are exported by sea and as such compliance with the International Maritime Directive is required. CAIA is therefore concerned to note the duplication and further complexity that this Bill introduces into the transport of dangerous goods.”

It was a question of being in the right place at the right time for the Ital Mattina which last week came to the rescue of the yacht ‘After You’ while sailing in the South

Atlantic en-route From Santos to Cape Town.

The container vessel, which belongs to Italia Maritima Spa – an affiliate company of the Evergreen Group – picked up a radio message from the Maritime Rescue

Co-ordination Centre on March 9, informing them that a yacht was in distress.

“After heeding the message, the vessel swiftly proceeded to the position of the yacht,” said Evergreen Agency’s Durban-based operations

manager Sanjay Bunvary, “where it was discovered that the yacht was out of diesel and critically short of food.”

The master of the Ital Mattina transferred eight 25-litre drums of diesel fuel and a container of

food to the yacht, and ascertained that she was now in sufficient trim to reach Cape Town.

The vessel arrived in Durban on March 13, with the yacht due to arrive in Cape Town about four days later.
