New issues arising and follow up actions required are outlined below:

A. Governance issues

1.Mr. Joe Walsh succeeds Peter O’Keefe as the International President of CILT.The next International Council meetings will be held in May 2006 in Aucklandand in Ghana in 2007.

2.Three Internatioal Vice Presidents retired from office viz NMBalasubrahmanyam (India), Jim Cleary (UK) and David Maunder (UK). Theywould be replaced by Richard Hunt, CBE (UK), Professor Allan Waller (UK) andEn Abd Radzak Abd Malek (Malaysia).

3.Mr. Cyril Bleasdale, Director General is to retire end of 2006 and areplacement DG is needed by mid 2006. The administrative structure andfunction is a growing concern. CILT foresees the need for a full-time DG and asmall group to run the CILT International office.

4.A new Communications and Promotion Committee was established which willinclude marketing functions.

5. It was agreed that the designation of the Chief Executive and Secretary of theInstitute would remain as Director General.

6. International Councils / Sections which fail to pay capitation fee for one yearwill lose their voting rights in International Council meetings and thosewhich fail to pay for 2 years will not be allowed to attend IC meetings.

B. Membership & EducationA workshop on Professional Developmentwas held on 15 May and this was followedby a meeting of the M&E Committee on16 May. The following issues wereaddressed.

Standards for Advanced DiplomaprogrammeHong Kong was commended on theproduction of standards which metindustry requirements and represented aworthwhile extension to the Certificateand Diploma programmes. The proposedstructure was also endorsed. We receivedmany useful suggestions includingmodifications to the headings of differentmodules to appeal to other professionalsand to give emphasis on supply chainmanagement, to include elements on ITand people management and someaspects of modality. A dissertation mightpose difficulties for some countries andthe suggestion was to replace it by aproject which could be job related. Copiesof the standards were distributed andInternational Councils / local sections weregiven up to 14 July to respond. In theinvitation for comments,International Councils / localsections will be asked to indicatetheir interest/support inobtaining course materials. Thefinal outcome will be presentedto MC on 17 October for it toconsider whether or not there isa business case and the budget.It was estimated that thedevelopment of course materialswill cost £10,000. SingaporeNational Council has somelearning materials developed forbasic diploma and advancediploma and it also proposed tomake its e-learning platform thatit has developed for CILT(Singapore) available to otherCouncils/Sections.

Specialist Certification in SingaporeThe representative from Singapore wasinvited to brief members on its CertifiedProfessional Logistician programme. TheSingapore system sprang from a requirementfrom the Singapore Government forCertified Professional Logisticians to meetcertain requirements including having arelevant Bachelor’s degree, 5 years workingexperience in the logistics industry, fulfillinga comprehensive CPD programme whichwould give the candidate a score of 400marks to make him eligible to sit for theprofessional examination. Those who passthe examination will become a CertifiedProfessional Logistician (CPL). Thecertification is renewable every 5 years. ACPL can apply for CMILT but the application

will be assessed based on CILT requirements.The M&E Committee had considered apreliminary proposal to apply theSingaporean system worldwide to allow CILTmembers to obtain the additional CPLdesignation. A recommendation to MCwill be submitted by the end of Augustfor the new designation to commence in2006. Separately, Australia CILT wasworking on a scheme for Certified TransportPlanner in response to a governmentrequest.

Continuing Professional Development(CPD)The International Council supports CPDbut recommended a progressive

approach. International Councils willdevelop a CPD plan and implementationtimetable ‘as appropriate’ based on localcircumstances. It should however benoted that CPD is obligatory for CMILTand FCILT and voluntary for MILT andAffiliates. A sample copy of a CPD planhas been prepared by the Director ofProfessional Development. NationalCouncils / Sections were requested toprovide information on their CPDprogrammes by 1 August 2005.

FellowshipThe paper on Fellowship was discussedand agreed with the followingmodifications:

• Seven years of experience still required butnot necessarily consecutive

• Chartered members will be required toproduce an accredited record of CPD ineach of the preceding two years

• Three rather than five signatures are nowrequired.

The changes require the approvalof the Privy Council. This will bepackaged with other changes tothe By-Laws.

Affiliate MembershipCertificateIt was agreed that affiliates will beissued with a certificate in futurebut the certificate will be returnedif the member fails to pay thesubscription. There are no post-nominals and it is up toInternational Councils / Sectionsto decide whether or not to issuecertificates to affiliates.

Accreditation of TrainingProvidersThis was briefly discussed and itwas agreed that CILT UK will

keep a central register on accreditedprogrammes which means that CILTInternational will be notified ofprogrammes accredited by differentNational Councils and can respond toenquiries. A paper on the procedures willbe presented to the next Council meeting.

CertificationThe Africa forum has asked for programmecertificates to be issued by CILT International.M&E Committee recommended that thereshould be flexibility for InternationalCouncils to issue their own certificates butwhere local sections asked for certificates tobe issued by CILT International, they mustmeet the accreditation requirements andCILT International will require proper

administrative support. Sections were askedto ensure that high standards aremaintained and CILT International will needa record of certificates issued.

E-LearningSingapore has developed an e-learningplatform for Singapore CILT members. Theplatform can be made available to CILTInternational. As for the programmes, CILTSingapore had developed a Basic Diplomaand an Advanced Diploma programme foron-line delivery.

Honorary FellowThe subject of Honorary Fellow was raisedto give honours to fellows who haveperformed outstanding service to theInstitute. Peter O’Keefe has beennominated by the CILT UK for HonoraryFellowship and also Rohan of the SriLankan CILT for his contribution to theInstitute as former IVP and for co-ordinating the Tsunami relief work. Thenominations were endorsed by IC inprinciple pending completion ofprocedures. There is also to be a review ofthe granting of Honorary Fellowships.

C. Communications and Promotion CommitteeIts establishment is to perform the followingfunctions.

• Focus on “International, International,International”

• No reinvention. Make better/wider use ofexisting materials

• Support local initiatives/communication –add value

• Understand barriers and help reduce/remove

• Main focus to develop CILT World andobtain financial support throughsponsorship

A Communication and PromotionCommittee meeting held on 16 May focuseddiscussion on the 3 agreed initial priorities.

Marketing and InformationDraft proposals were worked out to developand introduce a suitable marketing “tag”used in conjunction with CILT that has vision,

describes what we do and highlightsinternational features and develops newmaterial to describe organization, scope andqualifications currently available. Finaldiscussions and sign off will be held at thenext meeting in June 2005

Launching Edition 12 of CILT WorldThe next edition will be a ‘special’ editionposting China meeting. It is targeted to bepublished in July 2005 and distributed to allmembers. Hard copies will be sent free tolocal headquarters of all sections andCouncils for onward delivery to all membersin their territory. Feedback is required fromall areas.

Senior Visit Promotes Roles of CILTUK in ChinaBy Charles Chan, Deputy Director General of CILT China

China Communications andTransportation Association (CCTA) hasbeen working in China over the last2½ years, in partnership with CILT(UK),to support the training and education oflogistics and transport managementprofessionals, with considerable success– over 6,000 participants have taken thetraining courses, more than 3,000 havebecome qualified for the appropriatecertification. There are more than30 examination and training centres forthe CILT(UK) programs in major Chinesecities including Beijing, Shanghai,Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and so on.

Over the past two and a half years, CCTAhas trained a number of local trainerswith the help and support of CILT (UK).CCTA together with its centres acrossChina are now providing trainingprograms for Introductory Level, HigherCertificate Level, Diploma Level andAdvanced Diploma Level. The first threelevels are taught in Chinese by localtrained lecturers while the AdvancedDiploma is taught in English by seniorlecturers arranged by CILT (UK).

Geoff Newton, CEO of CILT(UK), andDorothea Carvalho, head of theprofessional development of CILT made aworking visit to China in March to sign theMemorandum of Understanding, betweenCILT(UK), the China National EducationExamination Authority (NEEA) – part of the

Ministry of Education - andthe China Communicationsand TransportationAssociation (CCTA), tomutually-recognised CILT(UK)’srelevant qualification programme,with the objective of promoting thedevelopment of well qualified logisticsmanagement professionals in China. NEEA isthe national authority for higher educationexaminations supervising and implementingthe examinations for over 30 millioncandidates each year in the country,including 12 million higher education

self -study students.A Memorandum ofUnderstanding was alsosigned between CILT(UK)and the National GuidanceCommittee for the MasterProgramme ofEngineering, one of themain sub-committeesunder the AcademicDegree Commission of theState Council. TheCommittee supervises 46key universities in China

providing Master courses in LogisticsEngineering, and both sides have agreedto mutually recognise the core modules inour respective educational / trainingprogrammes. At the moment, there areover 2000 students studying the Mastercourses in Logistics Engineering in topChinese universities and there areabout 1000 new entrances each year.The cooperation will raise the profile ofCILT(UK) as a leading organisation notonly in the industry of logistics andtransport, but also in the field ofacademic studies.

During the visit, Dorothea visitedGuangzhou and Taiwan. She spoke tosome 700 audients in two promotionseminars held in Guangzhou, the capitalcity of the southern China Guangdongprovince.

transport andlogistics policy committee

Questionnaire for reinforcing the road safety measures

Our Institute’s Transport Policy Committee has met several times to discuss the questionnaire for reinforcing road safetymeasures. After much discussion, our views and comments have been summarized below.

1. Concerning the issue of raising the penalty by recording 3 to 8 driving offence points for jumping red-lights, wegenerally support the move of increasing the penalty. In the existing Driving-offence Points System, a driver whocarries over 15 points within the most-recent 2-year period is subject to a temporary suspension of his drivinglicense. While most professional drivers considered the 8 points penalty to be too strict causing potentialproblems with their jobs, we find that the currently adopted 3 points deduction fails to offer a sufficientdeterrent for red-light jumping. Therefore, we propose a progressive point system. For example, 5 points will berecorded for the first-time offence of red-light jumping. Then, 6 and 7 points will be progressively given to thosewho commit the second and third offences, respectively. In this way, a steady-growing warning signal can beclearly conveyed to remind drivers that further offences could lead to more serious consequences: a higherpossibility of driving suspension. Together with the implementation of the driving improvement scheme in which3 driving offence points can be deducted from the total number of points incurred on the date of completion ofthe driving improvement lessons, enough room has then been reserved for drivers, especially for professionaldrivers, to avoid driving license suspensions due to unintentional offence of the red-light jumping.

2. We have a strong reservation as to the count-down device that displays the remaining times for the changes of signals.The major reason is that drivers might use this to behave differently and some might act with higher risk, and induce ahigher rate of accidents. For example, drivers who are closer to the intersection will accelerate and try to cross theintersection before the signal turns red if the timer shows few seconds remaining; drivers who are less closer to theintersection once expect vehicles in front can pass the junction based on the displayed remaining time, they wouldalso accelerate and try to move across the junction altogether. However, if the front vehicles decelerate or even stop toprepare for the coming red signal, drivers behind may not have sufficient time to react and it leads to a higher rate ofhead-rear collisions. As we know that drivers make their decisions when moving across signal-controlled junctionsdepends on many factors such as the current speed, traffic conditions, and signal status, displaying the remainingtimes to drivers will further complicating the existing decision-making process, and is therefore not favorable forimplementation.

3. The CILTHK generally supports all other road safety measures that are proposed in the questionnaire, such as theheavier fine on the offences of using hand-held mobile phone or other hand-held telecommunications equipmentwhile driving, without keeping driving on left-hand lanes in highways, and without turning on headlights whiledriving motor cycles or motor tricycles, the better use of technology for enforcement, and enhancement of educationand publicity for promoting safer use of the roads.

Our Institute was invited to participate in offering views andcomments on the road safety measures on red-light jumping andways to improve the emergency transport co-ordination framework.Views and comments forwarded by our Transport and LogisticsPolicy Committee to Ms. Miriam Lau Kin-Yee, JP & LegislativeCouncillor of HKSAR on 11 April 2005 and The Task Force onEmergency Transport Coordination on 2 June 2005 are as below:


The framework for the crisis managementmechanism and internal coordination toexecute remedial actions is already inexistence by making better use of and therestructuring of the existing EmergencyTransport Coordination Centre (ETCC).

(a) The crisis management mechanism1)There should be a thorough evaluation

report on crisis management byexamining the hazard identification,operational readiness and emergencypreparedness, crisis handling andrecovery of crisis. A comprehensive crisismanagement system should bedeveloped. For each of the crisismanagement phases, there should be aplan and drills to ensure all reasonablyforeseeable scenarios are taken intoaccount and plans are in place forcontingency and mishap arrangements.The Task Force should look into thestrengths and weaknesses of thereadiness at each crisis managementphase. The traffic crisis managementteam should be standing by for similarincidents in future but instead ofmonitoring the situation only theyshould take swift and decisive actionswith the aid of aerial video, local groundtraffic control, and media communication.There should be thorough reviews ofperformance after each case.

2)The ETCC should be upgraded to aTransport Crisis Management Centreheaded by a senior government officialat Secretary or at least PermanentSecretary level with sole authority toensure prompt actions are taken withinthe administration at times of crisis(especially in overcoming governmentbureaucracy).

3)The Government should take advantageof the technological advancement andmuch cheaper telecom charges (ascompared with those when the AreaTraffic Control was first set up) tointensify its road surveillance videocamera system to cover the blind spotsalong major roads/routes and considerthe use of Global Positioning System(GPS) mounted on vehicles to monitortraffic flow.

(b) Internal coordination to expediteimmediate remedial works

1)A Crisis Management Centre includingall relevant Government parties shouldbe set up at ETCC. An officer seniorenough should be designated to ensuresmooth implementation of remedial

Submission to the task Forceon Emergency Transport Coordination

measures. The crisis handling teamshould have direct communicationcapabilities with works, highway, police,etc and charged with the authority tomobilize whatever it takes to relieve thecrisis in a safe manner.

2)The Government bureaux/departmentsinvolved should conduct thorough reviewsto simplify and smooth out unnecessaryprocedures.

3)The Government should conductdebriefings to update bureaux/departments concerned as frequent as thesituation warrants.

(c) Congestion relief measures1)Serious congestion has revealed

inadequacies in our road network in whichnorth-south bound roads are well-developed but east-west bound are justbarely adequate to cater for normalsituations, without any spare capacity forcontingencies. This applies to both Kowloonand Island side. In Kowloon, we shouldhave a Kowloon Central Link whereas onthe Island a Central to Wanchai Bypass.

2)The situational reports made by the policeofficers at the scene very much affect thedecision made by their senior officersstationed at the control room. TheGovernment should consider makinggood use of advances in telecomtechnology to send pictures back instantlyto the control room to enhance thedecision makers understanding andassessment of the situation.

3)Variable Messages System should bedeveloped to install the required signs atthe critical locations to inform motorists ofalternative routes to mitigate trafficcongestion.

4)The Government should review the reliefmeasures with renewed vigor. For majorroad obstructions, feasibility for moreflexibility such as the provision ofemergency openings at the central dividersat intermittent locations of major roadsshould be explored. With dueconsideration on the safety, the emergencymeasures should be cancelled as soon assuch being practicable with full publicity.Unnecessary delay due to an over-cautiousapproach should be avoided.

5)Certain plans should be made forimplementation of road closure wheretraffic diversion is necessary. Deploymentof police officers at those major roadjunctions, with the assistance of theTransport Department, to alleviate the

congestion are considered to behelpful.

6) If the major roads have no moveablecentral median, would Highways orTransport Department consider themnecessary to be constructed foremergency use, implementation ofcontra-flow?

7) It is pointless that the buses at theterminal should still run on their routineschedules as this will further deterioratethe congestion.

(d) Dissemination of information tothe public

1)The Short Message Service (SMS)messages sent via mobile phones shouldbe developed to disseminate informationto the public in addition to the currentradio announcement at regularfrequency. The high transmission feeincurred (commercial rate $1 permessage) might be avoided by includinga suitable clause in the license conditionsto provide free messages for theGovernment in case of need (i.e., the API)when the mobile license is renewed,similar to that already in practice with theradio and TV licenses.

2)The Task Force should consider settingup a ring of communication channelsand employ similar reporting mechanismas adopted by the railway industry byreporting any significant traffic delayover all media channels if the delay isexpected to be X (say 30) minutes long.In this case, a significant portion of thetraffic would have ample warning of theblack spots and try to avoid them. Aspecial traffic news channel can beestablished under RTHK or other entityto continuously broadcast locations withbad traffic, say 30 minutes + delay (thissort of traffic radio information iscommon in Japan and USA). Aninfrastructure needs to be in place tomonitor traffic at strategic locations. Thetraffic channel employed on Cable TVand NOW TV can be used as a blueprint.

3)Notices on traffic congestion andexpected duration of delay should bedisplayed at bus terminals to letpassengers decide whether to takeother means of transport.

4)While the channels and methods ofdissemination of information to thepublic already exist, it is the substanceof the message and information whichneed serious improvement.
