The immediate prospects for the freight industry in all its formats are globally considered to be pretty bleak.

And this is likely to lead to a rationalisation process – with more mergers, buy-outs and takeovers just one of the predictions of what

the future holds, according to a selection of industry executives questioned by FTW.

Globally, both air and sea freight modalities have been hard-hit by the sudden drop in volumes created by lower-than-expected levels of consumer demand following the downturn – a situation that looks set to

continue into the uncertain future. So those involved in these modes are having to find innovative ways to stay ahead of the competition.

“It’s a mixed bag,” Garry Marshall, MD of Bidair Cargo, told FTW. “A lot depends on which trade lanes and countries you are focusing on. The UK, for example, is looking good

at the present time, and airfreight with that country is expected to be strong.

“The world economy is never static,” he added, “some growing and some taking a beating. So it’s a tough choice.”

But on the converse side, he bemoaned the current rand exchange rates, which were adversely impacting

the cost of foreign goods and simultaneously pushing down airfreight imports.

On the ‘more mergers etc’ side of things, Marshall pointed to this being a distinct trend in the air express industry.

His overall feeling was that it was all governed by

Diesel theft has been provisionally identified as the possible cause of a massive blaze that led to two fuel tankers exploding and razed a truck at the Umvoti Shell Ultra City just south of the Umvoti Toll Plaza in KwaZulu Natal.

The N2 highway was closed for a few hours on Sunday following the explosion.

Editor of the Zululand Observer, Dave Savides, told FTW that reporters on the scene had confirmed that a small petrol-powered pump had been used to siphon diesel into a smaller truck from the fuel tank of one of the tankers.

FTW learned from local

medical rescue service, IPSS – first on the scene after the explosion – that access to the Ultra City had been closed down, as work would now begin to contain the diesel spill and clear the wreckages. No-one was hurt in the explosion.

Meanwhile, Minister of Transport, Dipuo Peters, released the preliminary Easter weekend accident statistics on Tuesday – applicable for the period March 24-28 – and road deaths are 46% down. “The total number of fatalities came to 156 for the long weekend – 141 fewer deaths than the 297 fatalities recorded for the same period last year,” said Peters.

Iron and steel safeguardIn the Government Gazette of 24 March the International Trade Administration Commission of South Africa (Itac) announced the initiation of an investigation into remedial action in the form of a safeguard against the increased imports of certain flat rolled products of iron, non-alloy steel or other alloy steel (not including stainless steel), whether or not in coils (including products cut-to-length and ‘narrow strip’), not further worked than hot-rolled (hot-rolled flat), not clad, plated or coated, excluding grain-oriented silicon electrical steel, classifiable under tariff subheadings 7208.10, 7208.25, 7208.26, 7208.27, 7208.36, 7208.37, 7208.38, 7208.39, 7208.40, 7208.51, 7208.52, 7208.53, 7208.54, 7208.90, 7211.14, 7211.19, 7225.30 7225.40, 7225.99, 7226.91 and 7226.99.

The application was lodged by South African Iron &

Steel Institute (SAISI), an industry body, on behalf of its members.

The period of investigation for data evaluation for the purposes of determining the allegation of serious injury is 01 January 2012 to 31 December 2014 plus an additional seven months’ information for 2012 to 2015 (01 January to 31 July).

The injury analysis relates to information submitted by ArcelorMittal South Africa Limited (AMSA), a member of SAISI, with a collective output of like or directly competitive products constituting a major proportion (approximately more than 70%) of the total domestic production of those products.

According to the notice, SAISI submitted that a confluence of events formed the basis of the unforeseen development that supported this application. That is, ultimately the considerable oversupply of steel, and specifically the subject products, in the world today

causing a surge in the volumes of imports into the Southern African Customs Union (Sacu).

SAISI contends, amongst other things, that during the Uruguay Round of negotiations, South Africa did not foresee the following events: (i) The unprecedented steep rate of increase in steel production capacity over the ensuing two decades; (ii) The significant market downturns in emerging economies and the resultant contraction of demand for steel; (iii) Record export volumes by countries with excess capacity, fuelled by excess steel supply; (iv) Given the global nature of the steel industry, excess capacity in one region can potentially displace production in other regions, thus harming producers in those markets; (v) Recent trade measures by those countries are a result of all of the above-named unforeseen developments, and the fact that their markets are now protected contracts the global demand for steel

even further, exacerbating the problem of increased imports into the Sacu; (vi) The oversupply of steel has led to a deterioration in the financial situation of steelmakers globally and also the Sacu. The excess capacity is considered as one of the main challenges facing the global steel sector today; and (vii) Despite slowing demand, growth and the existing excess capacity, there are several new investment projects under way and planned, expected to lead to further increases of imports.

Comment is due by 13 April 2016.

Specialised work wear manufacturing company, the Kit Group, is set to open a design centre at its downtown Johannesburg premises as part of a strategy to revitalise the textile industry in South Africa.

“I believe there is potential to return to the old glory days of the textile industry in South Africa, before Chinese imports saturated the market,” said CEO Andrew Robinson.

According to Robinson, the textile industry employed over 130 000 people – more than the mining industry – in the 2 000s. “It is now down to around 35 000, with several textile factories closed down,” he said. “When China gained access to the South African market, even with the applicable 45% import duties, its textile offerings were still cheaper.”

The Kit Group is now on an aggressive acquisition path – looking at acquiring several companies over the next four years – to consolidate the sector and focus on building skills.

“There is a massive skills gap and a lack of technical expertise in the sector which we lost when the bottom

fell out of the industry,” said Robinson. The strong formal education sector around clothing design, textile design etc had also dwindled since the sector’s heydays, he added.

The Kit Group’s design centre will focus on building skills within the broader textile manufacturing space – from high-end design to production.

“There are several major global companies entering the African marketplace, especially from the United States and the United Kingdom, and these

companies need uniforms for their staff,” commented Robinson.

These companies, which have commissioned the Kit Group to manufacture their uniforms, include the US’s

Puma Energy group, which is opening up fuel stations across the continent, as well as the UK’s G4S security company which continues to make inroads in Africa.

“It makes sense to build a strong manufacturing base in South Africa to meet these demands and then distribute further into Africa from here,” said Robinson.

The design centre will also be focused on new and innovative technologies in textiles, which can be incorporated into uniform

design and manufacture. “Many of our clients

need specialised fabrics appropriate to the industry they serve – bullet-proof vests for security companies,

bacteria-resistant fabric for hospital staff etc –

which we are currently importing. If we could

develop these technologies here, we’d have an even

bigger competitive advantage

in the textile industry,” Robinson commented.

He said another opportunity in the textile space was the growing need for bespoke work wear for corporate clients. Studies had shown that corporate staff who had to wear a uniform were far happier at work, and more productive, if their prescribed clothing met both their style and their comfort needs, he added.

The Kit Group is working with several clothing designers to create corporate work wear and is currently running several programmes and campaigns to attract designers from across the African continent to collaborate on creative design projects.

Robinson said the next step – part of the group’s long-term plan – would be to revive the textile mills in South Africa. “There are currently only a handful of mills in the country and we still source the majority of our textiles from China.”

SA Revenue Service Customs & Excise is set to implement several new modernisation initiatives in the near future starting with a new manifest processing (MPR) system and the automation of provisional payments (PPs).

“These are expected to yield significant benefits to both trade and Customs as both bring significant operational improvements in their respective areas of application,” chief officer Customs and Excise, Jed Michaletos, told FTW.

“MPR enables the paperless reporting of cargo to customs and introduces goods accounting for fiscal assurance purposes by comparing goods and cargo declarations. It also brings further improvements to land border processes (eg, the scanning of barcoded manifests to significantly reduce gate dwell-time for commercial trucks) and enables enforcement against errant cargo reporters who still fail to meet their

electronic cargo reporting responsibilities.” 

Its data, functionality and reports can also be used to enhance supply chain security

and visibility- related activities undertaken by, for example, the Port Command Centre situated in Durban, according to Michaletos.

In terms of provisional payments,

the administration of a PP lodged, for example, to secure the duty and taxes pertaining to the temporary importation of goods, and the goods declaration submitted in respect of those goods, are currently separately administered in separate operational

processes. “This results in a number of difficulties being experienced. For example, failure to liquidate the PP timeously upon exportation of

the goods,” said Michaletos.      “The PP initiative formalises

and standardises the administration of provisional payments into the formal and

automated Sars goods declaration process workflow. This ensures that PPs are correctly matched and applied to the particular customs clearance to which they pertain and that they are correctly utilised. This process also ensures that calculations relating to PP amounts are performed uniformly and correctly.”

In the medium to long term the most pertinent development in terms of both modernisation and capacity building would be the development of the

necessary systems, policies and processes in support of the implementation of the new customs and excise legislative framework – ie, The Customs Control Act, 2014; the Customs Duty Act, 2014, and the Customs and Excise Amendment Act, 2014, said Michaletos.

“As you can imagine, this is a large and complex exercise and the programme tasked with its delivery – the New Customs Act Programme (NCAP) – is thus receiving priority.

“While these are specific examples of current and future modernisation efforts, continued and further investment will be made in improving our risk management capability and driving quality outcomes through automated processes on a prioritised basis, especially where it relates to the core Sars mandate of revenue collection.”

SACD REBRANDSS

ACD (South African Container Depots (Pty) Ltd), the leading freight management company in South Africa, has undergone

a total brand makeover and will officially be trading as Bidvest SACD with effect from 1st April 2016.

The new logo and trading name recognises our proudly Bidvest shareholder and reflects our commitment to maintaining our position as a market leader and meeting our customers’ service expectations with both professionalism and expertise.

Bidvest SACD has undergone a number of rebranding exercises since its inception in 1977. With the

commencement of containerisation in South Africa in 1977, Bidvest SACD was the first to market as a national container depot chain with the sole SARS customs licence responsibility.

Occasionally incorrectly mistaken as a government entity, Bidvest SACD has always been a private company, initially part of the Freight Services Group, then the Rennie Group prior to the acquisition of the Rennie Group by Bidvest in 1998.

With strategically located facilities in Durban, Johannesburg, Cape Town and Port Elizabeth, Bidvest SACD has 100 000 sqm of

warehouse space, situated on 38 hectares, with a permanent staff complement of 530.

Over the years, increased competition, shipping lines opening their own depots and SARS issuing multiple customs licences, Bidvest SACD has evolved from a historic container depot to providing end to end supply chain solutions for both import and export cargoes.

Full container staging, customs examinations and freight handling continue to be the cornerstone of our business, with a more recent development being, the keeping of sufficient

AV empty containers on site to meet our specific export pack customers’ requirements.

As may be expected, as the industry has evolved and with the requirement for the business to remain relevant, Bidvest SACD has undergone significant change over the past 39 years. Bidvest SACD has a proud legacy of being at the forefront of providing innovative, technologically advanced solutions to our customers. Having built up a reputation for excellence, we are proud of our people and their accomplishments. We look forward to continuing to meet our company tagline of “Getting it Right On Time.”

“If we can’t guarantee the service, we won’t take the business.”

At NGL Logistics it’s all about building solutions around

the client.“It’s the philosophy on which

the business was established almost 10 years ago and it’s a success formula from which we haven’t deviated,” says NGL’s Mark Scott.

There’s no shortage of

transport and distribution companies, but NGL’s dedicated, same-day distribution operation raises the bar on service levels – and that has been its trump card.

“Our motto is – ‘If we cannot guarantee the service we don’t touch it’. And guaranteed service levels is what our customers expect.

“The business was never built for warehousing, but clients want a one-stop shop

and our warehouse allows us to provide certain clients with the full spectrum of logistics – from hosting of their physical warehousing and stock to pick pack operations, distribution, reverse logistics and container receiving.”

The facility is client-specific, each demarcated area with its own pickers and packers. “We also work in our client’s system and they have view access to our warehouse at all times.

“We’re not a courier or roadfreight company. Each client has allocated vehicles to do his deliveries. There is never any co-loading – one client, one specific route one specific delivery.

“And while this kind of service often comes at a premium, it’s a price our customers are prepared to pay.”

The company currently employs 170 staff members countrywide – including its Johannesburg head office, Pietersburg, Nelspruit, Bloemfontein, East London, George and Cape Town.

At NGL customisation is key and that means understanding the customer’s needs.

“We have saved many companies millions of rands through streamlining their operations over the years,”

says Quinton de Villiers.With more than three

decades of experience between them, the directors have what it takes to provide the best solution at the lowest cost.

NGL’s new client-specific warehouse in Gosforth Business Park Germiston … each demarcated area has its own pickers and packers.

Over the past eight months NGL has doubled its volumes into Africa and Quinton de Villiers expects more of the same for the year ahead.

“The reason for the growth,” says De Villiers, “is our service.

“There aren’t many companies that can offer cross-

border guarantees. But thanks to our excellent relationships with clearing agents at the borders, there’s no compromise on service.”

NGL operates on the Namibia, Botswana, Mozambique, Lesotho, Swaziland and Zambia routes.

“We run weekly and bi-

monthly services with very speedy transit times. On the Johannesburg to Tsumeb route, for example, we offer overnight delivery. The benefits of airfreight at a fraction of the cost.

“For our customers, maintaining stock levels is critical, which is why there is no margin for error when it comes to on-time delivery.”

Online retailers – particularly small and medium-sized companies – have

been able to cut their courier distribution costs by 40% since using Parcelninja’s services, according to managing director Justin Drennan.

“Ecommerce is growing in South Africa, and Parcelninja is there to assist online shopping companies by removing the most expensive and time-consuming parts of the business – warehousing and distribution costs – giving them the benefit of a large-scale ecommerce operation at a much lower cost,” said Drennan.

He told FTW that the company had delivered on average about 10 000 parcels per month last year. “This year, to date, it has grown to an average of 55 000 to 60 000 parcels,” Drennan said.

The Gauteng-based company stores goods in a fully automated, paperless warehouse and distributes them to individuals located at

any destination in the country using the cheapest real-time courier quote.

“So, for example, if a small pharmacy in Durban requests three boxes of a specific product for an overnight

delivery to their store, we would source the courier with that day’s cheapest quote for overnight end-end-end deliveries.”

He pointed out that Parcelninja sourced the

cheapest courier quote in real-time, thus ensuring the client always got the most cost-effective quote, even though the service providers might differ from day to day or even hour to hour. “We therefore build

agility into their businesses as well,” Drennan added.

According to him, the warehouse management system integrates into existing e-commerce engines and offers smart product warehousing, picking and packing as well as continuous real-time reporting, giving the online retailers ongoing feedback on their deliveries.

Parcelninja has also recently expanded its offering to include regular retail stores. “Our research has shown that very often when a customer is looking for an item and asks a store to order it for them, they seldom return to collect the ordered item. But if the store can have the item delivered to the customer’s home or workplace the next day, there’s a far greater chance of closing the deal,” said Drennan.

The Parcelninja warehouse is fully automated and the warehouse management system integrates with ecommerce interfaces.

Bausch & Lomb sees the benefit of Imperial partnership

A partnership with Imperial Health Sciences, Africa’s leading healthcare logistics provider, has enabled global

vision care company Bausch & Lomb to grow its South African business astronomically. In just six months a 22% increase in sales volumes has been achieved, along with a service level of 99.97%.

“The logistics and distribution challenges associated with Bausch & Lomb’s vast product range prompted them to seek out our experience and expertise,” comments Lara Haigh, managing director of Imperial Logistics group company Imperial Health Sciences.

Elaborating on the complexity of Bausch & Lomb’s logistics and distribution needs, she says that the challenge of an immense product range is exacerbated by the fact that certain stock items are serialised. “In addition, there is consignment stock that must be efficiently managed and, with Bausch & Lomb’s products going into retailers, pharmacies, optometrists, eye specialists and hospitals,

there are multiple distribution channels.”Bausch & Lomb’s product range

includes contact lenses that are distributed through optometrists; lens care and solutions that are sold through retailers and pharmacies; and surgical products and equipment, including intraocular lens implants.

“Prior to partnering with Imperial, our client was contending with inventory management problems, stock write-offs, expiring consignment stock, back orders that could not be fulfilled and call centre inefficiencies that were resulting in a high rate of abandoned calls. In just three months, Imperial Health Sciences has transformed Bausch & Lomb’s South African operation into a successful, efficient profit centre,” Haigh reports.

A new, customised infrastructure was developed to accommodate Bausch & Lomb’s 30 000 SKUs in a new 600m2 area at Imperial Health Sciences. It includes innovative new racks and plastic shelf containers with adjustable dividers, providing for the storage of many small units.

“These ensure easy access for fast and efficient batch picking, optimise space and ensure operational efficiency,” explains Haigh. Imperial Health Sciences moved approximately 24 000 SKUs (stock keeping units) into the new space in just 10 days, she reveals. The unique racks and shelves were designed by Imperial Logistics group company Resolve Capacity.

The Bausch & Lomb call centre has been relocated to the Imperial Health Sciences call centre environment in Centurion and Haigh says that abandoned calls are now less than 1%. “Call volumes have increased by 148%, and calls are answered within six seconds,” she adds.

To optimise Bausch & Lomb’s vision of twice daily care deliveries, Imperial Health Sciences partnered with a new courier, Mercury Couriers, which has fully integrated with the Imperial system, to provide full traceability of consignments from point of handover to delivery and returns.

Utilising SAP, Imperial Health Sciences rewrote its systems around the

requirements of Bausch & Lomb’s lens and surgical items.

Haigh elaborates: “A new receiving process was designed to upload purchase orders electronically, and RF device picking with full batch and serial number control was implemented. Imperial has also established a full warehouse team that focuses solely on the receiving, inventory control, picking, packing, invoicing and dispatch of the vision care products.”

Bausch & Lomb’s unfulfilled back orders have been eliminated by Imperial’s world class systems, which ensure batch transparency and include back order release. The company is also no longer dealing with stock write-offs.

“In addition to delivering exceptional value to Bausch & Lomb, this significant partnership has yielded an ultra-efficient and unique new infrastructure system that Imperial Health Sciences will utilise for other clients going forward, including new clients in the aesthetics and corrective dermatology sector,” Haigh concludes.

Despite the decline in economic growth over

recent years, the sub-Saharan African (SSA) region’s long-term outlook as a consumer market remains positive. This is according to an inaugural report – entitled ‘So Much in Store’ – on retail and consumer businesses launched by consultancy PriceWaterhouseCoopers (PwC) last month (March).

According to the report, Africa’s economy has seen modest growth in the wake of falling commodity prices, slowing revenues and volatile currencies. “The moderation in growth impacts a range of industries and sectors, including retail and

consumer products that must contend with rising costs and a fall in prices,” says Anton Hugo, PwC retail and consumer leader for Africa

He adds that despite the decline in growth, the long-term outlook remains positive. “The economic

growth predicted for 2016 and beyond in some African countries, and the growth expected in Africa’s consumer market, provides major opportunities for retail and consumer companies looking to the future,” he comments.

Hugo says that the

continent has risen to prominence as an investment destination and the role of retail and consumer goods has become more significant.

According to him, there is also a growing movement towards local production in the SSA region, which could boost demand for consumer goods. Hugo points out that the successful growth of the African FMCG sector is dependent on a resilient supply chain.

“A critical success factor for retailers and consumer goods companies moving into many African countries has been their ability to implement supply chains that deal with the operational challenges that exist,” says Hugo,

commenting that given the size of the SSA region, supply chains tend to be complex and expensive.

“Other obstacles include poor transport, inadequate local supply capacity and the dominance of informal retail trade which, coupled with a large rural population, makes distribution a complex exercise,” says Hugo.

He cautions however that as 90% of sales are made through informal channels, those that ignore this segment are missing out on a significant share of potential revenue. “There are also many examples of companies that have introduced innovative ways of improving their distribution in various countries,” Hugo points out.

Growth of the African FMCG sector depends on resilient supply chain

E-commerce could be the igniter of change in the airfreight sector and the industry can’t afford to miss the opportunities that are being opened up.

“The e-commerce delivery models keep evolving. We now have click and ship, click and deliver and click and collect solutions,” said Tony Tyler,

director general and CEO of the International Air Transport Association.

He pointed to Amazon’s official move to lease 20 freighters in a bid to gain more control over its supply chain as an indication of how fast e-commerce was rising. The e-commerce giant also recently announced a 22% net increase

of global sales to US$35.7 billion in the fourth quarter last year, compared with US$29.3 billion in fourth quarter 2014.

Tyler commented that to take advantage of the e-commerce opportunity airlines needed to up their service. “Air cargo is a vital driver of the global economy but the bottom-line value – for many airlines – is

falling. Shippers are telling us that we don’t provide value for money,” he said.

The 2015 Global Shippers Survey revealed that air cargo rated 7 out of 10 as an average satisfaction score – not good enough for what should be a premium service, according to Tyler.

With the waves of consolidation hitting the parcel delivery industry, one interesting consequence is that in South Africa the market now comprises the big operators and the small operators with little in-between, says Garry Marshall, CEO of the South African Express Parcel Association (Saepa).

He says this may be because small companies have low overheads, and without corporate rule books can act “fast and lean”. According to him, they tend to be niche players with saturation coverage of a chosen local area or they have specialised expertise in handling certain commodities such as cold-chain, high-value, fragile or fashion items.

“The large companies have

economies of scale and can absorb overheads such as security and regulatory compliance by spreading the costs across a broad client portfolio,” says Marshall, noting that these are major inhibitors for the smaller operators and would curb their growth.

“The big issue driving everything is network. It’s a critical asset. Setting up operations in numerous outposts is unaffordable without huge volumes feeding the system. Small operators tend to sidestep it through the use of alliances. Larger operators can extend their network and intensify coverage in local areas by acquisition.”

In an economy reeling from the effects of the battered rand, the country’s salvation clearly lies in exports.

And with the recent drop in global demand for commodities, largely as a result of China’s slowing economy, growth in perishable exports and manufactured goods is the biggest opportunity for South Africa, in the view of Safmarine southern Africa managing director, Dirk Hoffmann.

“The refrigerated export market continued to see robust growth of approximately 7% in 2015,” he told FTW. “This is attributed

to strong crop output of apples, pears, grapes and citrus during the year, with grapes showing the strongest growth relative to a poor 2014, coupled with stronger

prices in Europe.”

But the drought and excessive heat have dashed hopes of a buoyant 2016.

“It’s not clear what the full impact will be. We have seen a

pretty good grape season relative to last year. But that was because we had frost in the Orange River region in 2014 which had a major impact on the table grape industry from a total output perspective because the grapes were a lot smaller.

“In South Africa a rule of thumb is if you lose 1mm

on each grape it has a 10% impact on the size of the total crop. We can already see in the Western Cape where the pear and apple harvest is starting that the fruit size is now smaller,” he said.

“The Eastern Cape is not as badly impacted so maybe we will still get some good news.

“Citrus grows across the country so as an industry the distribution of production is quite hedged. There are however reports of a smaller crop with smaller fruit which means markets that prefer larger fruit will be impacted.”

In terms of the automotive industry, he said that the

export vehicle market was currently stable.

But as

consumer spend is expected to be lower in 2016, it is predicted this will negatively impact vehicle demand in South Africa.

“The industry will need some form of relief, so the R20-billion investment into the sector, which was announced in the national budget speech, will assist greatly in this regard.”

He sees the biggest container growth opportunity in the vehicle segment within Africa as countries like

Nigeria purchase more from South Africa.

Transnet’s plans to establish Ngqura as a regional hub port have been given a boost by the announcement that Aegean has introduced a bunkering operation in Algoa Bay, near the ports of Port Elizabeth and Ngqura.

This follows years of behind-the-scenes negotiations and complaints by the shipping companies that they could not use Ngqura as a true hub port because they had to call on Cape Town or Durban to take on bunkers before or after calling on Ngqura.

Fuel will be stored

offshore in a tanker, with transfers taking place at sea. The target market will be all vessels sailing on the busy east-west and north-south trade routes.

According to a statement issued by Aegean, the vessels will be “located within a few miles of heavily trafficked international shipping lanes.

It is “well positioned as a natural stopover on routes to Europe, the Americas, Asia, Australia and both coasts of Africa. 

“The region includes

eight commercial ports that are busy conduits for global trade. Approximately two million metric tons of bunker fuel is sold annually in the region, evidence that Aegean’s new operations are located in a robust market with potential for growth.

E Nikolas Tavlarios, President of Aegean Marine Petroleum Network, said: “The launch of bunkering operations in Algoa Bay is consistent with our strategy to opportunistically enter new markets."– Ed Richardson

Abnormal truck operators in Durban have levelled criticism at the imposition by Transnet Port Terminals (TPT) of penalties on abnormal vehicles failing to leave its port premises within four hours.

But, efforts by the truckers’ representative to meet with TPT to try to get the matter sorted out have continually been thwarted by unwillingness at TPT to discuss the issue, according to abnormal specialist Carl Webb, MD of Project Logistics Management (PLM).

“Nothing further has happened,” he told FTW. “The trouble is the continuous changes in management at TPT, so the penalty is still being imposed despite our complaints.”

Representing the abnormal truckers is Dave Watts, who also acts as maritime adviser to the SA Association of Freight Forwarders (Saaff). The most common reason for truckers failing to adhere to TPT’s deadline, he told FTW, is a combination of restricted travel times for abnormal loads, and the fact they have to be accompanied by a police escort – which takes time to arrange.

Abnormal truckers call for action on TPT penaltiesthe laws of economics. “If

things are up, airfreight is up. If they’re down, then airfreight is down.”

While admitting that seafreight volumes had dropped off, Glenn Delve, SA marketing director of MSC, still expressed optimism about the short- and medium-term future. “We’re holding our own,” he said, attributing much of this to the fact that MSC was following the dictum that your success depends on the service you are offering, both on the ocean and the land side. “I’m also optimistic about growing volumes,” he added.

The key future issue on the agenda for freight forwarders, said a forwarding executive, was the impact that China now exerted on the world trade scene.

Pointing to a recent international report, he highlighted that as long ago as 2013 this country had overtaken the US in annual trade in goods, according to official figures.

“This,” he said, “now means that Chinese ports and hub-and-spoke networks are of primary importance to global freight forwarders, and shipping schedules are developed around them.”

Added to that, China had improved supply chain links with emerging economies in Africa, Latin America and the Middle East, he said. Rising costs were also forcing Chinese companies to outsource some low-skilled and labour-intensive production to these, amongst other, lower-cost

countries.And it was therefore

leveraging its alliances with those regions and increasing its imports from these trading partners to support its own infrastructure projects.

“Logistics service providers (LSPs),” he said, “have begun to gear up for increases in future shipment volumes going the other way.”

On the road freight side, it has to be recognised that it is almost impossible for the supply chain to keep moving, either domestically or internationally, without using the road network, according to Carl Webb, specialist in abnormal road transport and MD of Project Logistics Management (PLM).

“But business is down for sure,” he said. “However, while the markets are bad, the signals are good.

“Guys in the likes of Zambia and Zimbabwe were shipping through Walvis Bay, Maputo and Beira before, but are now coming back to Durban. The reason is probably because these other ports charge in the US dollar – which is strong. So they’re turning to Durban, which charges in rands.”

Webb also highlighted the growing age of SA’s road transport f leets as a contrary factor. Road equipment has a certain lifespan, he pointed out, and eventually it gets to the stage where maintenance and repair is not feasible any longer. “So you get hit with a double whammy. You either find the capex to replace your f leet, or go out of business.”

The police escort issue, Watts added, is complicated by the fact that there is no in-port parking area for abnormals waiting for their escort – unlike Richards Bay and Cape Town where

parking facilities are available.

“And these abnormals can’t legally turn a wheel outside the port before that escort arrives,” he added. “So, trying to find parking outside will

almost inevitably result in a hefty fine from the Metro traffic police.”

This is exacerbated by late-in-the-day loading when the rush-hour comes into play and when, even with an escort, abnormals aren’t allowed to be on the roads.

“You can add to that the fact that abnormals are only

allowed to move during daylight hours,” Watts said. “So, with late loading they have to wait until the following morning before being allowed to move. But here they get caught in a Catch 22 situation, again facing the TPT penalty despite there being nowhere for them to legally go.”

There have been rumours that TPT is about to offer a compromise. “We have heard that they have put a process into place where you could apply to them saying you can’t move – either because of travel restrictions or the unavailability of a police escort,” Watts said. “And they are supposedly willing to grant an extension. But we still haven’t been able to confirm this with Transnet.”

The matter is still on hold until a discussion can be arranged with the roll-on, roll-off (ro-ro) and multi-purpose terminal, he added.

FTW was awaiting comment from TPT when this issue went to press.
