South Africa’s “NEUTRAL”

Seafreight & Airfreight Consolidator

The global logistics company, Kintetsu World Express (KWE), has just announced a joint venture with local black-owned freight forwarding group, MSASA.

This follows months of negotiations between Kintetsu, Japan and MSASA, according to Arend du Preez, MD of KWE in SA. The new venture company will be trading as KWE MSASA.

The joint-venture initiative will run independently as a parallel business with KWE in SA.

The board of directors is George Khumalo as chairman and Joe Mnisi and Papilele Matlaila (all founders of MSASA in 2009) as directors, with the addition of Du Preez and Ikuhiro Hojo of KWE SA.

Angry overborder hauliers have demanded that the cash-strapped Cross-Border Road Transport Agency rescind its massive increases in tariffs for permits and penalties because it makes it impossible for them to

continue trading. Facing a desperate fight

for survival, the agency on April 1 hiked the cost of permits for truckers by as much as 240% in order to remain afloat. “We will close our doors in three months if we don’t implement

permit tariff increases,” said Maryna Aucamp, the agency’s chief financial officer.

She said the organisation required R182 million instead R52 million it has in the kitty just to carry out the basics in terms of its mandate. The agency

currently has a staff complement of 175 but needs around 403.

“The permit fees have not gone up since 2003, our expense base exceeds income, and all our resources have been depleted,” she said.

SARS Detains 56 Shipping Containers The South African Revenue Service (Sars) recently detained 56 shipping containers – with an estimated value of R10 million – containing clothing suspected of being illegal imports, at the China Shopping Centre south of Johannesburg.

During the same operation immigration officials from the Department of Home Affairs seized computers and hard disks suspected of being used in the production of false identity documents and passports. Sars Customs officials also removed equipment suspected of being used in the production of counterfeit CDs and DVDs.

As a result of government’s concern about the illicit economy and its impact on the local clothing and textile industry in particular, Sars was mandated to initiate an intergovernmental response to deal with the illegal importation of clothing and textiles.

According to Sars one of

the biggest threats remains the under-invoicing of import clothing and textile consignments, resulting in low-revenue flows into the fiscus. Coupled with this is the significant loss of jobs in the local clothing and textile industries over the past years.

Customs Duty ReductionsOn 08 April 2011 the South African Revenue Service (Sars) announced the following tariff amendments: (i) 2933.49.10 The General, European Union (EU) and European Free Trade Area (EFTA) rates of customs duty on compounds of polymerised 1, 2-dihydro-2, 2, 4-trimethyl- quinoline are reduced respectively from 10% ad valorem, 1.3% ad valorem and 5% ad valorem to free (0%); (ii) 5902.10 The general and EFTA rates of customs duty on tyre cord fabric of high tenacity yarn of nylon or other polyamides are reduced respectively from 15% ad valorem and 9% ad valorem to free (0%); (iii)

5902.20 The general, EU and EFTA rates of customs duty on tyre cord fabric of high tenacity yarn of polyesters are reduced respectively from 15% ad valorem, 9% ad valorem, and 9% ad valorem to free (0%); (iv) 5902.90 The general, EU and EFTA rates of customs duty on tyre cord fabric of high tenacity yarn of other polyamides, polyesters or viscose rayon are reduced respectively from 15% ad valorem, 9% ad valorem, and 9% ad valorem to free (0%); and (v) 5906.10.15 The general, EU and EFTA rates of customs duty on woven fabrics of polyvinyl alcohol of a width of 30 mm or more but not exceeding 60 mm and of a mass of 60 g/m² or more but not exceeding 130 g/m² are reduced respectively from 22% ad valorem, 10% ad valorem, and 10% ad valorem to free (0%).

Duty Calls’ “Watch List”Comment in respect of the following tariff applications is due by 15 April 2011:

The proposed increase in

the rate of customs duty on semi-fabricated aluminium rolled products.

The proposed rebate of the customs duty on ethyl alcohol of an alcoholic strength by volume of 80% volume or higher, for the manufacture of petrol.

The proposed new application forms, guidelines, rules and conditions pertaining to donated goods.

The proposed reduction in the rate of customs duty on bags of low density polyethylene.

The proposed rebate of the full rate of customs duty on dehydrated castor oil for the manufacture of alkyd resins, in primary form.

The proposed rebate of the rate of customs duty on artificial filament yarn, yarn, other yarn, and yarn excluding sewing thread.

The diesel price has now reached such a high level that the fuel component of road transporters’ overall cost infrastructure has begun to assume a worrying proportion, according to Paul Rayner, MD of DTB Cartage, a short-haul container carrier from the Port of Durban.

The latest increases are what Rayner describes as “substantial”.

“Apart from trying to recover the increase in diesel through surcharges,” he told FTW, “we also need to recover the 9% wage increase recently agreed to at the National Bargaining Council negotiations – and people have always been a significant cost factor in this

labour intensive industry. The two elements are now having a very noticeable effect on the required increase in our rates.

“This is very difficult for the industry given the present market conditions, where a large number of the small, often fly-by-night trucking companies are cutting prices to unsustainable levels, and putting unfair pressure on the whole trucking community.”

The new diesel price increases comprise: The average product over/(under)-recovery rounded to the nearest full cent for price (increase)/decrease; increase on fuel levy; increase on Road Accident Fund (RAF) levy; and increase in transport cost. This last

factor pushes up the inland costs more than the coastal, because fuel has to be either pipelined or road hauled from the coast to the inland destinations.

The diesel price in Gauteng has gone up from 878.051cents/litre for 0.05% sulphur content (the grade almost all the truckers use) to 948.451c/l – an increase of 70.4c/l (8%).

The coastal price has gone up from 864.251c/l to 928.051c/l – an increase of 63.8c/l (7.4%).

The recovery of these new prices is calculated by the road transporters in one of a number of ways, according to Rayner.

“There is normally something built into the contracts,” he said. “There is a clause to say that we’ll

adjust our rates on a quarterly basis to accommodate the change in fuel prices, or it will be done with a monthly fuel surcharge.”

Looking at the future, a prediction by Reuters is an indication of what can be expected to happen.

Brent crude is currently about US$119 a barrel. The latest Reuters poll of analysts forecast Brent averaging US$104.57 a barrel this year, up from US$92.50 in the February poll.

In 2012 prices are forecast at US$103.22 and US$106.85 for 2013.

These are obviously informed guesstimates, but they indicate that while there is no major upturn predicted, the price is certainly not expected to drop significantly.

The British government is considering allowing longer truck-trailer combinations on the country’s roads following independent research which showed that this could cut carbon without compromising safety.

A legislative process has been put in place by roads minister Mike Penning to allow a two-metre increase in the total length of articulated lorries operating within the existing weight limit of 44 tons.

The news comes amid campaigns across Europe to increase the maximum permissible length and mass of vehicles in order to reduce crowding on the roads and improve logistics efficiencies.

In a move to modernise its own systems in alignment with Phase 2A of the customs modernisation programme, freight system specialist, Compu-Clearing, has designed a new web portal, and will be running a national series of seminars highlighting the Phase 2A changes, according to sales and marketing manager, Nachi Mendelow.

“In stage 2A,” he told FTW, “a great benefit for clearing and forwarding agents is that, when customs stops an entry and requests supporting documents, these can now be scanned and sent to customs electronically.

“Not only will this save time and petrol as drivers will no longer need to take the hard copies to customs, it will also decrease the time taken for a

release in these circumstances.”In line with the customs

modernisation, Compu-Clearing has created a web portal where clients can scan, package and send their documents to customs – and has used the latest in Java technology to power this web portal.

The Java platform is running directly on the IBM System i which, Mendelow added, is trusted internationally for its stability, security and flexibility.

To back up all the changes in Phase 2A, Compu-Clearing will also be offering two days of seminars to its customers – to be held in Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban. And, as an added service to customers, Compu-Clearing is also offering to source the correct scanners for those who require this hardware.

Next month will see the opening of a Durban branch by wine and beverage logistic specialists JF Hillebrand, with a Johannesburg office to follow shortly.

“It’s part of our initiative to offer our beverage and industrial clients a wider scope of service offerings by expanding our domestic footprint,” says managing director Marliese Martin.

Martin, who took over as MD in September last year, is upbeat about the year ahead despite difficult market conditions.

“Due to the strong rand we are still experiencing a shift from bottle to bulk in the wine industry,” Martin told FTW. “For the year ahead our focus will be on cost-effective solutions for our clients.

“Through the acquisition of TransOcean in 2007 we have been able to extend our service offering to the design and

manufacture of flexitanks for non-hazardous bulk liquids. The combined expertise of Trans Ocean Distribution and JF Hillebrand enables us to tailor a full range of service solutions.

“In the current ‘cost-pressurised’ market conditions, it is of the utmost importance that we utilise our expertise in bottle and bulk logistics to the best advantage of our clients.”

Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) are not the only solution to Africa’s financing problems, says Johan Greyling of KPMG.

Speaking at the annual Railways and Harbours conference and exhibition in Johannesburg last week, Greyling said there had been a definite over-reliance on PPPs in Africa to fund much-needed infrastructure.

“PPPs are not a silver bullet that solves the problem with government sitting back and saying we need a new road or rail line and then forming a partnership with a private company which out of goodwill then builds it and maintains it and funds it. It does not work that way.”

Greyling said while PPPs remained a good way to get funding for infrastructure projects, ultimately there were only two ways of funding a country’s

infrastructure. “Either a government pays for it or the user of that infrastructure must pay for it. With PPPs we must understand the benefit lies in that the government does not have to fork out a big amount of cash ahead of a project, but rather the private company will foot the bill until completion of the project when the payment to the private sector commences as the users then start to pay for the service.”

He said in this regard it was therefore important that governments considered what they – or the residents of a country – could afford ahead of commissioning a project.

“Can your road users afford the toll fee once the upgrade on the freeway is completed is a very important question to be asking ahead of loaning a large sum of money from a private organisation,” he said by way of example.

“There are no real quick

fixes when it comes to funding. PPPs are a good option, but they are only part of the solution.”

He said securing funding for maintenance, upgrading and building of new infrastructure in Africa was extremely important, but an over-reliance on the private sector could backfire on governments.

“The good news is that governments and private organisations don’t see the world very differently from each other, but there must be a return on investment for a private organisation to become involved.”

With the largest impediment to infrastructure investment in Africa being the lack of stable, adequate, long-term financial resources, it is important for the continent to find solutions that will address the issues.

“Sub Saharan Africa spends about $45 billion per

year on infrastructure, but the required spend needed is in the region of $93 billion,” he said.

“If you want to see GDP growth, you must spend on infrastructure every year. It is estimated that if a country like Zimbabwe for example wanted to see 4% growth, it would need to spend 25% of its GDP on infrastructure.”

The World Trade Organisation is predicting a ‘modest’ 6.5% expansion in world trade for the year ahead following last year’s record-breaking 14.5% surge in the volume of exports.

“The sharp rise in trade volumes last year enabled world trade to recover to its pre-crisis level but not its long-term trend, and WTO economists believe the recent series of important events around the world lend a greater degree of uncertainty to any forecast,” said WTO director-general Pascal Lamy.

“The figures show how trade helped the world escape recession in 2010. However, the hangover from the financial crisis is still with us. High unemployment in developed economies and sharp belt-tightening in Europe will keep fuelling protectionist pressures.”

‘Modest’ world trade growth

South Africa will not retract its decision to implement an intermodal solution for the transport of freight despite resistance from road hauliers who have had a monopoly for years.

“It may come across that we are anti-road for the transport of freight,” said deputy minister of Transport Jeremy Cronin at the Railways and Harbours Conference and Exhibition in Johannesburg, “but that is not the case. The country cannot afford to continue moving the bulk of freight by road. We need a serious rethink of the issue.”

He said in the last study done by government in 2008 it found that 935 million tonnes of freight were moved by road at a

cost of R171 billion. “This figure does not include the externality costs such as road maintenance, infrastructure upkeep or carbon emissions. Neither did it factor in the cost of accidents to the country.”

Cronin said the penny had dropped for government and the major infrastructure spend to revitalise the country’s rail capacity was long overdue.

He said with road freight being directly responsible for some 96% of the externality costs it was time to rethink the rail option seriously.

“Our railway system has been running on empty for far too long. It is time to bring about change and we have to do it quickly. We don’t envision a system where we go back to the

heydays of rail when it had the freight monopoly, but for the foreseeable future we will be investing heavily in rail to address the monopoly by road.”

He said a modal balance between road and rail was long overdue. “It is a global

trend to combine the two modes and it makes sense for South Africa to embark on this route.”

According to Cronin, rail only carries some 23% of the current freight load in the country but only at 10% of the cost. “Rail is cheaper

and it becomes even more of an impressive figure if one measures the effort of moving freight. To ensure our trade competitiveness we have no other choice but to bring about a more proportionate movement of goods in the country.”

Africa must put its house in order if it wants to attract investment for long-term infrastructure projects.

According to Johan Greyling of KPMG, there is no magic wand to bring about investment for the much-needed infrastructure projects on the continent.

“As a continent we cannot just expect investors to bring their money just because we need it or want it. Sound economic policy and a stable macro economic environment is needed to entice the private sector to come to the party,” he said. “We must also not be under any illusion that Africa is the only continent vying for funds. We are competing in a global market and major investors can consider going to a lot of developing areas other than Africa. They do not have to come to our continent.”

He said if Africa did not clean up its act and start getting things right, investors would not be knocking on its door. “The first rule of thumb to attract investors is to be an exciting destination for investors and lenders alike.”

Greyling said Africa more than any other continent in the world needed to do serious introspection and fix what was lacking to attract investment as its infrastructure continues to be under much strain. “Various factors contribute

to this including the fact that 500 000 people are born on this continent every week. Currently some one billion people are living in Africa. This is expected to double in the next thirty years. More often than not the infrastructure is either very aged or lacking completely.”

And as the population continues to grow and urbanisation increases, the demand for improved infrastructure will increase.

According to Greyling attracting investors firstly means improving government effectiveness. “That means having sound political policies in place, transparency in processes, safety of investments and guaranteed returns. Governmental effectiveness is no doubt seen as a significant barrier to delivering infrastructure and often attracting the necessary investment.”

He said while insurance could be bought against violence or expropriation, investors were reluctant to give money to areas where political instability or corruption were at play.

“Africa must decrease its risk factors if investors are to be attracted. Improving its political stability is key, while solid frameworks must be developed along with clear incentivised tax regimes, unrestricted movement of capital, investment protection and the creation of an environment where it is easy to do business.”

South Africa needs a plan of action sooner rather than later if it wants to retain its small remaining pocket of railway expertise, says David Anglin from Bombardier.

“The historical lack of investment in rolling stock and other rail infrastructure has taken its toll on the country – and while there is a turnaround from key role players to now invest and upgrade, implementation must happen quickly,” said Anglin at the annual Railways and Harbours Conference and Exhibition in Johannesburg last week.

“If we do not see fast implementation of an investment programme in rail infrastructure in the country, it will be too late. The little expertise you have left will be gone, and it will also be irreplaceable.”

He said Bombardier, which has been involved in the Gautrain Rapid Rail Project, prided itself on sharing its global expertise with

developing countries. “We have done it in China and Korea to name two, and we believe we can add value to South Africa.”

Anglin, a Canadian who lives in Germany and works in South Africa, said global sharing was a norm in international business. “We see a very good fit with South Africa as we can provide the skills necessary to grow the rail industry. We have what you need and we are able to provide it.”

17 April marks a milestone anniversary for CFR Freight – twenty years of successful operation as a neutral sea and airfreight consolidator catering exclusively for the clearing and forwarding fraternity.

In two decades the company has grown from a two-person operation to a staff of more than 130 people serving global import and export destinations.

“Having started with an import service from Antwerp we now offer direct services from 35 ports and direct export services to 25 ports, covering the entire globe via hubs,” says managing director Martin Keck.

“And from 300 containers a year at the start, we’ve handled in excess of 150 000 TEUs and over 3,5 million cubic metres over twenty years.”

Figures that were hard to imagine when founder Uli Hatesohl set up the company with his wife Susanne in 1991 as Herbst SA, a clearing and forwarding operation offering a groupage service from Antwerp.

“Two years later we decided to split from Herbst and become a neutral NVOCC – and this is a philosophy we have jealously guarded throughout our existence,” says Uli. “We deal only with freight forwarders

and never approach the shipper directly.”

It’s a story of hard work, success and perseverance, with many milestones that stand out in its history:

1991 – Uli and Susanne •launch the company.1994 - Susanne’s brother, •Martin Keck, joins the 5-person team and moves the typewriter-driven operation

into the computer era.1995 – the Cape Town branch •opens, followed by Durban in 1997 and Port Elizabeth in 2000.2003 – CFR Freight’s airfreight •division takes off. The AirCargo Group adds strong international connections.2006 – CFR joins global •agency grouping – the

WorldWide Alliance – adding muscle to its agency network.2007 – sale of equity to a •BBBEE entity elevates the company to Level 3 BBBEE status2010 – CFR’s first freight •station opens in the Western Cape in partnership with Zacpak.

“In the early days freight forwarding was fun,” says

Uli.”Your customers were your friends and deals were concluded on a handshake.”

But the company has moved with the times, and under the leadership of MD Martin Keck, director Peter Schmidt-Löffler, and financial director Anthony Martindale, the future couldn’t be brighter.

“We’ll be looking to open more freight stations, with Durban on the short-term planning boards,” says Schmidt-Löffler.

“Africa is where we see the major growth, and we’ll be expanding our footprint on the continent in association with our WorldWide Alliance partners.

“We’ll continue to maintain and expand our seafreight

services, and airfreight is where we expect to see significant growth.”

With a reputation for solid performance and service excellence, IT solutions will continue to play a key role.

“We already offer live tracking and tracing, online tariffs for sea and air, and an interactive website that is constantly upgraded and overhauled to ensure that our clients are at the cutting edge of technology.”

But while technology may have changed the way business is conducted there’s a simple philosophy at the heart of the CFR business model – service excellence that always puts the customer first. And that’s the simple constant that will take CFR into the next decade and beyond.

While the SA Transport and Allied Workers’ Union (Satawu) called for a sympathy strike at the ports of Durban and Richards Bay on April 7 in support of a proposed berthing workers strike about changed shift schedules, the original strike was settled at the last minute.

The union had called

for the secondary strike – and aimed its call at all Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA), Transnet Port Terminals (TPT) and private sector port operations and stevedoring workers at the two ports.

But the berthing worker’s strike came to nothing after the TNPA called for a meeting with the two unions involved, Satawu and the United Transport

and Allied Trades Union (Utatu).

A select group of workers, restricted to the berthing services, had embarked on strike action due to the implementation of the quad shift sytem, according to port manager, Ricky Bhikraj.

“After fruitful engagement, management and labour reached consensus – which also

averted the secondary strike.”

But the feeling in the maritime freight industry was that the secondary strike had no grounds to stand on.

Said Dave Watts, Durban-based maritime adviser to the SA Association of Freight Forwarders (Saaff): “The strike was to have been in support of berthing

team workers whose shift schedules had been changed by the TNPA in a cost-saving exercise. But opinion was that it was unlikely to be well-supported anyway, considering the financial impact of last year’s stoppage and the debatable legal standing of a secondary strike over what are effectively overtime issues.”

There is a serious shortage of both new and used containers, a shortage likely to continue through 2011 and onwards, according to Christopher Lee, MD of SA’s major supplier and converter, Container World.

This under-supply, he told FTW, was mainly because the world’s two top container producers – China’s CIMC and Singamas, which produce 80-90% of the world supply – almost completely stopped production during the 2009 global downturn, operating with skeleton staffs and whatever plants were still running just ticking over.

“The production dropped about 90% from 2007/08 to 2009,” he said, “and world supply could be counted in thousands, not millions.

“As world trade slumped, container lease companies and

shipping lines just stopped buying, with ships being laid up and container demand plummeting.”

Container World operates on the fringes of the mainstream container industry, so equally suffered from the container short supply.

“The container industry is primarily for carrying goods around the world, so the users were saying: Why order more containers if we don’t need them? That left a shortage of used boxes, as users refurbished boxes past their prime, and kept using them for cargo movement.”

But there were definite signs of a change at the end of 2009 and into 2010, with trade and box demand picking up.

But recovery in the container plants was slow.

“As the orders started to come in, it was hard for the manufacturers to find people

to man their plants,” said Lee. “The general Chinese economy had also started booming, and many skilled staff had meantime moved into other industries.

“It was therefore slow in 2010, as the big box producers struggled to train up new staff to run their assembly lines.”

And, although these manufacturers are now running at full tilt, and working double shift, a shortage has already been generated, and observers are predicting that it’s going to last right throughout this year.

The Paris-based shipping data producers, Alphaliner, have produced startling stats to support this prediction.

“The container shortage will continue beyond 2011 due to a lag in container manufacturing to match the growth in slot capacity,” said the report.

“The box-inventory-to-

vessel-capacity ratio will fall to 1.99 by the end of the year, from the 2.03 in 2010 – marking the lowest level on record, and in comparison to the 2.99 containers per slot in 2000.”

Alphaliner also forecast that the container production capacity this year would be about 3.5-million TEUs, which is well below the highest production level of about 4.3m.

So, although things are now going “at a pretty good clip”, according to Lee, there is still

a shortage, and, given this demand/supply imbalance, prices are rising.

“A new container costs about 50% more than two or three years ago,” he said, “with a TEU up from about US$2 000 to US$3 000, and showing no signs of going down.”

As the availability of used boxes is entirely dependent on the available supply of new containers, there’s also a shortage for the secondary container industry in which Container World fits.

The new Navis SPARCS N4 terminal operation system entered the scene at the Pier 2 Durban container terminal on March 27, but had a severe case of the introductory hiccups as it came into operation, according to trucking operators who short-haul containers around the Durban area.

It’s to be expected, said Kevin Martin, MD of container haulier Freightliner Transport and chairman of the Durban Harbour Carriers’ Association (DHCA).

No new system comes into being without problems, he told FTW, and carriers shouldn’t complain while Transnet Port Terminals (TPT) works its way towards smoother operation.

It was a bit of a crash on the Sunday, Monday and Tuesday as the system started off, he added, but got better towards week end.

However, said Raymond Ramjiwian, MD of RJ Freight,

Transnet Port Terminals (TPT) is happily denying it is having any problems.

An SMS he had received from TPT said that truck delays on Monday – the first day of full Navis operation – were “not due to the Navis migration”, but were the fault of a large volume of trucks and the roadworks on the Bayhead Road access.

But two of RJ’s trucks were caught up after getting into the staging area, and the early morning arrival took 10 hours to get back out of the terminal, while a late afternoon arrival took 11 hours.

Danny Raman of Storm & Co received the same SMS not-guilty plea, but he went and physically checked the Bayhead Road, and found that the roadworks were having no effect on the flow of trucks into the terminal area. It was after that that problems arose, he told FTW, with his company having “mega problems” in the first two or three days after the Navis intro, although he agreed it

picked up later in the week.Mathew Grey of Springbok

Trucking also complained of having a battle to get his trucks turned around at the terminal.

“Horrifying” was how he described the first week under Navis.

“We had our guys stuck in ‘A check’ (the first part of the movement through the terminal) for eight, nine, ten – even 11 hours,” he added. “And once in the tower bay, they were waiting for five hours, so it must be TPT’s

fault, nothing to do with roadworks, or anything of the like.”

The introduction of Navis in Durban is crucial, said TPT, given the port’s position as one of the busiest in Africa.

Recognising that a successful transition from the old Cosmos operating system to that of the fully automated Navis system required the full co-operation of all, TPT discussed its preparations and contingency planning with its stakeholders in advance.

Vehicle exports from South Africa hit an all-time high of 29 254 units in March this year, according to the National Association of Automobile Manufacturers of South Africa (Naamsa).

“March 2011 export sales improved by 7 958 units, or 37.4% compared to the 21 296 vehicles exported during March last year. With further recovery in the global economy expected during course of 2011, industry export sales were expected to reach 300 000 units in 2011,” says Naamsa.

March was also the highest sales month for passenger vehicles in South Africa since October 2007.

A new era... a new wave...

High input costs and low commodity prices have turned the tables for South African farmers who have become net importers rather than major exporters of agricultural products, according to Langa Zita, the director-general of the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (DAFF).

In a presentation to Parliament recently on the department’s budget and 2011 strategic plans, Zita said that farming production was in decline, and South Africa was now a net importer of food, fuelling future food security fears.

One of the initiatives, among others, announced in parliament to tackle the problems was a proposal to increase the number of fish farms in the country from 84 to 96 in four years, with processing facilities growing

from 60 to 70, and fishing harbours from 12 to 19, over the same period.

Concern was also expressed in Parliament over how farmers were being squeezed by higher input costs and low commodity prices – which is set to deepen with petrol price and electricity tariff hikes.

Zita said that the decreasing share of field crops in agricultural production was a factor in the country’s decline

from a net exporter of foods to a net importer. “The sector operated in an unregulated market environment, exposing it to fluctuations in world prices, while the growing dominance of retail chains was increasing the farmer/retail price differential.”

Exports declined by around 11% in 2009 and last year agricultural exports totalled around R22 billion.

Mlungisi Johnson, the chairman of the Portfolio Committee on Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, said not only were high input costs and administered prices posing a major challenge to commercial farmers, they were also having to compete against overseas farmers who enjoyed huge tariff protection. “The Government therefore needs to discuss indirect subsidies in areas such as fuel, fertiliser and renewable energy sources.”

The Department of Transport expects to have a green paper on rail transport available by no later than the end of the year, according to deputy minister Jeremy Cronin.

Speaking at the annual Railways and Harbour Conference and Exhibition in Johannesburg last week, Cronin said his department was hard at work on the first phase of the new Rail Transport Policy.

He said the DoT was developing the “overarching governance strategy” as part of the government’s plan to rebuild the country’s railways.

“It will take at least another year following the delivery of the green paper to move into a comprehensive strategy. Policy development is,

however, crucial if we want to move forward.”

He said this could even result in a Rail Act if deemed necessary.

According to Cronin much effort was going into strategy and policy to deal with the significant challenges of the country’s dilapidated rail system.

Cronin, who gave the opening address at the conference, told delegates that there was a definite need for a Rail Economic Regulator, something the green paper would also address. “It is necessary to ensure our operators on the system don’t end up playing the role of regulator as well.”

He said the DoT hoped to have the policy approved by no later than the end of 2012 as the time for talking was long over. “Action is needed and it is needed now.”

More and more small companies are joining forces in an effort to grow their market share and remain viable in the current economic conditions, says Donovan Schipper, operations director of Truckhire SA.

Schipper and Pat Ferrari, who owned Shangani Transport, last year joined forces with Kevin Lees and partner Rory Bennett, directors of Truckhire, to form Truckhire SA, a South African branch of the Botswana-based haulier.

“It makes economic sense for small companies to pool their resources and knowledge. Ultimately the client benefits,” said Schipper.

According to Ferrari, the merger went smoothly

with little disturbance to the service offered to individual clients who are now all on board with Truckhire SA, while all benefit from the holding company, Truckhire.

“The entire process has been beneficial to our clients who welcomed the opening of the South African office of Truckhire SA in November last year,” said Ferrari.

The company offers a consolidation service into Botswana and transport across Africa, also specialising in exporting, importing, seafreight and airfreight.

“Small companies don’t stand a chance. They cannot compete with the big operators, but then again they are continually facing the onslaught of the fly-by- nights,” said Schipper. “By merging we have grown our

business. That would not have happened if we had remained independent.”

Merging of small businesses within the transport and logistics industry is a worldwide trend, according to PricewaterhouseCoopers (PWC).

In a recent study the company found that 27% of transport and logistics companies globally completed a merger or an acquisition in the preceding 12 months.

With 2010 having been a year of recovery following the economic meltdown, deals and mergers have become a common method of survival.

According to PwC, at least 27% of CEOs surveyed said that mergers and acquisitions were key to growing their businesses in the coming

months. At least 40% had either completed or were in the midst of either merging or acquiring in the coming 12 months.

According to Ferrari, the combined experience of herself, Lees and Schipper measures up to that of the big players in the industry.

The Forum of Immigration Practitioners (Fipsa) has welcomed recent statements by the department of home affairs (DHA) about the elimination of the backlog of temporary residence permits (valid up to five years, when permanent residence can be applied for), according to Fipsa chairman, Leon Isaacson, MD of Global Immigration.

This would hit any foreign employees of local companies who were applying for temporary permits from SA. Isaacson told FTW that, for these foreign employees, it would be a great time saving if they applied from their home foreign country, where the SA embassies/consulates have quicker access to the DHA. But if they are in SA already, they would face an extremely lengthy wait.

“Our collective experience

is that many permits which were submitted during 2009-2010 are unaccounted for by the department, and despite resubmission of copies together with the submission receipts, many of these permits remain ‘lost’.

“We further place on record that there has been a noticeable decline in the standard of adjudication,” he added, “and that a high percentage of permits (40-45%) are issued with erroneous endorsements – mainly incorrect dates, incorrect workplace and in some cases permits are issued to the wrong person.”

This places the holder of the permit in an extremely difficult position, as they may be considered to be illegal if the status and conditions differ from the status ascertained by the department’s inspectors or police. Efforts to correct these errors take a long time and cause extreme prejudice

to the applicants and their employers.

“We note that there has not been a general directive or public announcement regarding the legal status of applicants who have not yet received the permits after the 30-day finalisation period,” Isaacson said. “This would allow them to commence the activities for which they applied while they await the outcome of their application. The result of this state of affairs is that many applicants

have lost jobs, had bank accounts closed and have been treated as criminals due to these delays.”

Fipsa has called on the DHA to institute an audit to ascertain how many permits have been lost and/or incorrectly issued, and to allow applicants the opportunity to approach the department to have their erroneously endorsed permits corrected through an expedited process, Isaacson added.

MANZINI – Transport disruptions can be expected to be minimal but unpredictable for this week’s three-day general strike in Swaziland if previous similar events are anything to go by.

The country’s major trade unions were due to down tools from April 12-14 in Manzini, Mbabane and the southern provincial capital Nhlangano to protest government policies. The industrial site at Matsapha was also expected to be affected. On the SA side of the fence, Cosatu, the South African Communist Party and other SA organisations allied with the Swaziland Federation of Trade Unions and Swaziland’s political progressives in general were also planning to demonstrate.

Rail and port development remains a key priority for the Angolan government with upgrades under way and contracts being awarded to companies across the globe.

According to Roger Ballard-Tremeer, chief executive of the South Africa-Angola Chamber of Commerce, the Italians have recently been awarded the contract of building a bridge over the Congo River. “This will be quite a dramatic undertaking due to the width and velocity of the river. This bridge will make provision for both road and rail.”

He said the government in the country was so determined to upgrade and develop its infrastructure that Luanda now had several ports, facilitating the easy movement of cargo intended for specific projects.

“Any cargo for the oil and gas industry, for example, is facilitated through the Port of Sonils. If you directed it to the general port in the city, which some time ago was extremely congested, you would be in trouble as it would take weeks for your cargo to arrive and be cleared. Should you use the correct port though, it is an extremely smooth and quick procedure.”

He said the country was going out of its way to

ensure the easy movement of freight and that meant looking at ports and railways especially, as well as road.

But, said Ballard-Tremeer, Angola’s positive outlook had much to do with the arrival of China in the country.

“If China had not come on the Angolan scene it would have taken decades for the country to achieve what it has. In recent years China has made available to Angola $15 billion of credit lines.

“The primary ports and railways of Luanda, Lobito and Namibe along with the secondary ports of Cabinda, Soyo and Amboim are all being upgraded in some form or another,” said Ballard-Tremeer. “The outlook is for a transformed Angola. The country is going out of its way to get its act together.”

Transnet is expected to deliver its newly developed Supplier Development Plan (SDP) to government by the end of June this year for comment.

The strategy, which focuses on opportunities that lead to increased local content, skills development and subsequently quality job creation, has been on the cards since it was first conceptualised in 2007.

According to Fanie van der Walt of Transnet, the strategy has been developed in two phases with the first culminating in the hand-over of the plan to government.

“We are in the process of finalising the plan after which we will hand it to government by the end of June as it is a public domain document. After comments have been received, it will then be embedded within the

organisation during the execution phase which ends in March 2012.”

According to Van der Walt, the plan is aimed at developing supplier intelligence and looking beyond just cutting costs when negotiating best value contracts. “It looks at our strategies around procurement, capability and capacity-building.”

He said between 2009 and 2011 Transnet had focused on formulating the plan by writing processes and procedures, getting a control framework in place and developing a policy that now has to be signed off. “It is about localising supply and skills, while also standardising our procedures and monitoring.”

Van der Walt said notable successes had already been achieved through Transnet’s Competitive Supplier Development Programme.

“Our agreement with GE to build 100 locomotives is a prime example. Through the supplier development programme GE will build ten of the locomotives in the USA while the other 90 will be assembled in South Africa. This will lead to new jobs being created in South Africa while 20 people have already been trained by GE in the US.”

Narrow versus standard gauge once again came under the spotlight when Dr Dave van der Meulen of the Railway Corporate Strategy presented a talk on the competitiveness and sustainability of rail in South Africa at the annual Railways and Harbours Conference and Exhibition in Johannesburg.

“The use of narrow gauge tracks is one of

the fundamental forces driving the various railway scenarios in South Africa,” he told conference goers. “The second force is that of state ownership versus private ownership.”

Dr Van der Meulen said there was no doubt that the use of narrow gauge tracks inherently impeded the competitiveness of a railway, and that the ability to extend standard gauge was one of the major rail scenarios for the country.

With the debate ongoing on whether the country should continue to use its narrow gauge or move to standard gauge continuing to rage, Dr Van der Meulen said the country had stretched what it could out of narrow gauge.

“There is a train of thought that the narrow gauge system is under-utilised. That is not so, it is rather obsolete. It is so old it cannot be used in a competitive

environment any more.”According to him

standard gauge has been found to be superior in advancing a railway’s competitiveness.

“Our competitive disadvantage is escalating,” he said. “Domestically we are competing against other modes, internationally against other countries. It is important we ensure our railways are as competitive as possible. One must never forget that the

freight transport industry is a ruthless, low margin, competitive market.”

Rail transport needs to increase the tonnes per axle to improve the payload of heavy haul operations in the freight business as efficiency and productivity are inextricably linked to its success.

Speaking at the opening of the Railways and Harbours 2011 conference

in Johannesburg, John Mathew, corporate marketing manager for Transnet Rail Engineering, said enhancing performance and increasing speed while demanding more of rolling stock was integral to successful operations.

He said Transnet Rail Engineering was pulling out all the stops to improve

operations.“By 2014 we will have

built in excess of 10 000 new freight wagons, upgraded more than 1000 diesel and electric locomotives and electric motorised passenger coaches, and built 150 new generation diesel electric locomotives at our factories around the country.”

Enhancing performance and increasing speed is TFR mandate


Delivered at Terminal or DAT (named terminal at port or place of destination) Incoterms®2010 is the fifth of eleven Incoterms (it is always plural) for the class “Rules for any Mode or Modes of Transport”, which means that it can be used irrespective of the selected mode of transport, and can even be used for more than one mode of transport.

The ICC’s Incoterms ®2010 identifies ten obligations that the buyer may need to fulfil in terms of Delivered at Terminal or DAT: (1) general obligations of the buyer; (2) licences, authorisations, security clearances and other formalities; (3) contracts 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 obligations of the buyer are essentially to pay the price in conformity with the contract of sale.

In respect of the licences, authorisations, security clearances and formalities, where applicable, the buyer must obtain these at his own risk and expense, as well as any import licence, and he also needs to account for all import (customs) formalities.

With respect to the contract of carriage and the contract of sale, the buyer has no obligation. However, in the instance of

the contract of insurance, the buyer must provide the seller with the information that he might require to contract for this.

The buyer must take delivery when the goods have been delivered in accordance with the contract of sale. Once the goods have been delivered the buyer bears all risks of loss or damage. As for the allocation of costs, the buyer must pay all costs relating to the goods once they have been delivered, and additional costs incurred by the seller if the buyer failed to fulfil his obligations. The buyer, where applicable, also needs to account for the cost of the customs functionalities. The buyer must, when informed, take delivery of the goods. The delivery documents must be accepted by the buyer. With respect to pre-shipment inspection, the buyer must pay for this except where it is mandated by the authorities in the country of export.

With respect to assistance with information and related costs, the buyer must inform the seller of any security information requirements and reimburse the seller for all costs incurred in rendering assistance.

Next week’s issue will provide a summary of the Delivered at Terminal (DAT) term.

FRIDAY 15 April 2011 NO. 1954

Chief executive Sipho Khumalo said unlike other regulatory bodies, the agency was not given government start-up funds when it began and therefore it had to rely solely on issuing of permits and imposing penalties for those without permits for its survival.

But the move could force many truckers out of business.

Operator Rea Botha, who said she once used to pay R10 for a permit, called on the Road Freight Association to petition Transport Minister S’bu Ndebele to reduce the prices.

Freight and logistics industry representatives turned out in large numbers for a briefing on the new tariffs last week and made it clear they were not happy. The agency said it was sympathetic to the plight of operators and pledged to find a way to make everyone happy.

Khumalo said the organisation had faced a number of challenges in the past 12 years that have impacted on its ability to carry out its mandate – one of the reasons why the tariffs had remained the same.

The chief executive is part of a new management team hoping to restore the agency to health.

Khumalo said it was impossible for the agency’s 77 inspectors to police 52 border posts. “It is no secret

we are struggling as an agency to protect those with licences,” he said, adding, however, that every border post had a representative.

The permit system forms part of legislative requirements aimed at regulating and monitoring movement of citizens between South Africa and its borders. Fees collected are used by the agency to enforce the regulations, including policing, monitoring and acting on behalf of operators.

The huge increase in the cost of cross-border transport permits is likely to put numbers of small and medium trucking companies out of business, according to Dave Watts, Durban maritime adviser to the SA Association of Freight Forwarders (Saaff).

The sheer enormity of the increases (see tables

below), said Watts, obviously puts great pressure on the possible profitability of a smaller trucking outfit, and endangers their very existence.

The actual case study he released to FTW was that of a small cross-border transporter operating 10 rigs. Because it is a general haulier with no specific contracts, and hauls to destinations in Zimbabwe,

Zambia or Malawi nominated on a week-to-week basis, it needs the flexibility of having three permits per truck. And sometimes these permits are used only once or twice in a three-month period.

“As far as a 12-month permit is concerned he would have to find R5 720 x 10 x 3 = R171 600,” said Watts. “This could be described as a worst-case scenario, but for

this trucker, who operates to three over-border countries, the flexibility the previous tariff gave him is essential.

“What I do not understand is why an SA agency requires a separate permit per country. What can the rationale be behind that, except to provide additional income?”

The trucker is equally disturbed about the new cost issue he faces.

“As a small operator I just cannot afford this sort of overhead,” he said. “We can only try and pass it on to customers if all other transporters pass it on. So far we have had no success in doing this.

“Together with the recent fuel price increases and the general shortage of work, I am now very concerned about the future of my business.”

New fees will sound death knell for smaller operators
