Christmas rush has arrived – for someRates firm as reduced capacity is snapped up

By Alan Peat

As the unofficial start of spring was declared on September 1, so minds in the freight and trade industries turned to prospects for the pre-Christmas rush of import goods to fill the shelves for the festive season.

“Pre-Christmas rush – what’s that?” a shipping executive on the Far East trade asked FTW.

This year’s peak season, he noted, is a bit flat. “Flatter than last year.

“The orders are not as big as they usually are – as retailers guard their stock levels. I’ve just been reading that retail sales are down 37%. I ask you!”

Not that his ships are not running to the brim, he told FTW.

“But, considering we’ve cut capacity by about two-thirds,” he added, “that’s not surprising.”

David Williams, MD of Maersk Line, is more positive.

Although he admitted that services had been reduced, he was quite pleased about his ships running full – and even

more so that rates were showing an upturn.

“We’ve noted a good demand for capacity from the Far East,” he said.

He also pointed to a definite positive trend – with the August port stats showing that imports were up to 87 000 TEUs, compared to just 80 000 the month before.

“We’re already fully committed through to the end of October on the Far East trade,” Williams added.

Roger Phillip of Deutsche Afrika Linien (DAL) didn’t feel part of the pre-Christmas brigade.

“The peak season is more the Far East, so we’re not really involved,” he said.

The products that come south on the North-West Continent (NWC)-SA trade on which DAL focuses, according to Phillip, are not what he’d term Christmas-type goods.

“But we’re currently running full southbound,” he said, “although both the core and intermediate services have been reduced.”

Phillip however expected an upturn in volumes – although not as big a figure as for the major, global lines on the same service.

Sam Moffitt of Hamburg Süd also suggested that his line was not really one of those with pre-Christmas expectations – only serving the Far East trade on an agency basis.

“However, space has certainly been tight,” he said. “But I don’t know if that’s a function of an upturn in volumes, or from the fair amount of rationalisation in the Far East trade.”

Alex de Bruyn, SA trades executive for Safmarine, and responsible for all trades ex SA, noted that the seasonal import volumes (cargo landed in SA) for 2009 were down approximately 15% (across all trades) compared to 2008.

This according to Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) comparative statistics provided for the year-to-date to August.

“But,” he told FTW, To page 20

Letsoalo resignsIn a move assumed to be designed to further his career, Solly Letsoalo, chief operating officer (COO) of Transnet Port Terminals (TPT), has resigned and is to depart the company at the end September.

A member of the shipping community told FTW that the letter he had received said that

Letsoalo was moving on to take over an MD position with a private sector company.

Letsoalo joined TPT in 2005 at the Durban container terminal (DCT) from a background in industrial engineering, manufacturing, logistics, projects and general management, and in 2008 he

3 times a weekOvernight serviceDoor to door

BY Alan Peat

The current boom in commodity exports to the Far East has persuaded Maersk Line to deviate one of its Far East-West Africa-Far East services into Richards Bay to collect containerised exports from South Africa.

“Demand to the Far East is pumping at the moment,” said KwaZulu Natal GM, Carl Lorenz. “It’s commodity-based, and has been there since before the beginning of August. I haven’t noticed any slackening in demand to now, and don’t expect any drop-off – certainly until the end of October.”

Most of this is coming from Chinese orders for raw materials for its industrial stockpiles – which have been somewhat used up after China stopped stockpiling at the beginning of the year.

This was accompanied at the time by the Safari consortium

service between SA and the Far East – in which Maersk and sister line Safmarine are major players – cutting its second string, and leaving no spare capacity on this route.

But Lorenz saw this new service through Richards Bay providing his line with immediately available tonnage, perfectly suited to fulfilling this demand from mainland China.

The leg between West Africa and the Far East will now be broken by the RB call – from where the ships will sail to Tanjung Pelepas in Malaysia, then making two calls in China, at Shanghai and Ningbo.

Lorenz noted other sales benefits. “It will be the only dedicated container service calling at Richards Bay,” he said.

“It will give direct access to the Far East market from the RB area, will offer a quicker transit time compared to shipping out of Durban and will show

cost-saving benefits.”It is initially being offered on

an inducement basis, and the first vessel berthed at RB last Saturday (September 19).

“The idea,” said Lorenz, “is to induce a vessel roughly every fortnight – and, should the demand be sufficient, we can look at making it more regular.”

Richards Bay call added on Far east-west Africa service

Oil spillage avoided from grounded carrierBY Ray Smuts

The threat of significant oil spillage from the bulk carrier Seli 1, aground off Cape Town since September 7, is over but imponderables remain over her future.

Seen from a maritime safety perspective, no month is a good month for a calamity of such proportions, September being particularly inhospitable as heavy seas complicated the crucial pumping of fuel from the 29-year-old ship for several days.

By the weekend, salvors Smit had removed 500 of the 600 tonnes of fuel, though a proactive precautionary oil pollution boom remains deployed at Milnerton Lagoon.

Clare Gomes, Smit’s communications manager, told FTW “various

methodologies” had been investigated for the removal of the 30 000-tonne cargo of coal, though the removal of fuel – a directive by the South African Maritime Safety Authority (Samsa) – remains the priority.

As to whether Seli 1 is going anywhere, anytime, Gomes says: “It would make sense to try and refloat her as opposed to a fairly complicated wreck removal.”

The so-called “spat” between Green salvage company Tsavrilis, which claimed it had a signed contract with the vessel’s owners, as opposed to Smit’s verbal agreement between the masters of Seli 1 and the salvage tug, Smit Amandla, is over and done with. Gomes commented: “Arbitrators in London have ruled that Smit has a valid LOF (Lloyd’s Open Form).”

Carl Lorenz ... ‘The idea is to induce a vessel roughly every fortnight.’

Hogan hints at ‘fast-tracking’ Transnet CEO appointmentPublic Enterprises Minister Barbara Hogan has undertaken to exercise her prerogative to appoint a new CEO at Transnet, in consultation with Cabinet.

“In so doing, I will be mindful of the transformational imperatives of our times, the particular skills and experiences required for the job and the leadership capabilities of the candidate,” she said.

She allayed concerns about the impact of the delay when she addressed the portfolio committee on public enterprises last week, saying that not only was Transnet the best performing SOE in the stable from a financial point of view, but its strategic plan and future growth path for the next few years was very much in place, having received extensive Board and management attention in the preceding year.

“The competent and very experienced team of senior and middle managers at Transnet

are quite capable of steering the company through the carefully formulated growth plans going forward,” she said.

But, she added: “It is imperative that matters at Transnet reach a swift resolution in the interests of all concerned and most importantly in the interests of Transnet.”

The suspension of one of the contenders for the role,

Transnet Freight Rail (TFR) chief executive Siyabonga Gama – with a disciplinary process hanging over him for alleged irregularities in the awarding of two contracts for locomotives – has however met with some regret in the private sector.

“I’ve been very much involved with him over the years, and have much respect for him,” said Lawrie Bateman, MD of major container rail operator, MSC Logistics.

He professed to having noticed little adverse impact down the management line as a result of Gama’s suspension, as yet. “However,” he told FTW, “there must be all sorts of top-management politics at the moment.”

Another industry source who preferred not to be named, thinks differently.

“We’ve noticed an effect already,” he said. “Our ops guys said the wheels have come off as far as TFR is concerned.”

Not that it’s something you don’t expect when a top executive suddenly goes missing. “The same is true of holding company, Transnet,” he said, “which has been in a bit of a holding pattern since (Maria) Ramos left.”

Service levels from TFR in the past couple of months have dropped, in his view.

“We’ve noticed this ever since this all started,”

KZN gives green light to giant trucksBy Ed Richardson

Giant 27-metre long truck-trailer combinations hauling 67 tons of wood have been licensed for use on public roads by the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Transport.

Claimed to be the first licensed performance based standard (PBS) vehicles in Africa, the Mercedes-Benz Actros 3350/45 powered rigs are being used by Timber Logistics Services to transport timber from Bulwer and Richards Bay to Sappi’s Saiccor plant.

The truck-trailer combinations are only allowed to run on a set route at a maximum of 80km/h. At 27 metres, they are five metres longer than standard rigs, and have a gross combination weight of 67 tons compared to the normal maximum of 56 tons.

Barbara Hogan ... ‘Swift resolution imperative.’

Siyabonga Gama ... private sector regret.

SA’s ethical trade manager makes proactivity the goal‘Industry has responded well’

By Ray Smuts

Government has responded to submissions by the fruit industry to investigate the best possible mechanisms to effectively cover all ethical trade practices in the agricultural sector.

A committee to determine these has been set up under National Agricultural Marketing Council chairperson, Ntombi Msimang.

This follows the appointment of Colleen Chennells as ethical trade manager by Fruit South Africa, the umbrella body representing the Fresh Produce Exporters’ Forum (FPEF), Deciduous Fruit Producers’ Trust (DFPT), Citrus Grower’s Association (CGA) South African Table Grape Industry (SATGI) and SA Subtropical Growers’ Association.

She is tasked with

ensuring ethical trade matters are addressed fairly on farms and by producers (growers) and exporters in successfully getting product to major markets, particularly those in the UK and Europe.

Eight months into her brief, Chennells last week told FTW the fruit industry as a whole had uniformly responded to an awareness of, and commitment to, ethical trade, with the focus on being proactive.

That said, the industry is committed to establishing a code reflecting international and domestic requirements, what will in effect amount to a “one-code-fits-all”.

The industry is encouraged that UK retailers generally concur over support for a non-competitive ethical trade initiative in South Africa and that costly duplication of farm audits be avoided.

Chennells says very little

data is available to the industry to reflect negative trends and areas that require

support and attention. The net result is that all farms are “tarred with the same brush”

and negatively projected on the international stage in terms of ethical practices.

New Durban warehouse complex opensHoused in a brand new 10 000-m2 office and warehouse complex in Jacobs, Durban, the logistics specialist, GAC Laser, has strengthened its presence in KwaZulu Natal, according to regional managing executive, Carol Holland.

“This new centre will increase efficiency, improve customer service, and bring our logistics and freight forwarding operations together under one roof,” she told FTW. “Expanding in this important market enables us to meet the diverse needs of importers and exporters in the region with a comprehensive suite of logistics and global transportation services.”

The complex is designed to handle GAC Laser’s needs in SA’s busiest port city – located within Zone 2 of the port and in close proximity to the M4, N2 and N3 freeways. With 14 container handling bays, the complex has undercover loading facilities for diverse commodities, and is able to handle up to

superlink vehicles.It joins the company’s

other specialist warehouse in Nandi Drive, offering a complementary service.

The new facility provides

the latest in warehouse management technology – with a system that uses barcode identification and offers customers instant access via the internet.

Said Holland: “It’s all about meeting the customer’s needs. We are delighted that these new premises allow for various transit options for our Gauteng clients, as well as

ensuring cost savings.“The warehouse caters

for customer seasonality, and takes the risk out of the clients having their own functionality in this respect.”

Celebrating the milestone … Simon Hayes, CEO GAC Laser; managing director of NLA Imported Timbers Sean Lourens; Carol Holland, regional managing executive GAC Laser; Philip Hayes, CEO Laser; and Raj Balmakhun of Newlyn Investments.

A ship that achieves zero carbon emissionsBy Alan Peat

Another “ship of the future” has been unveiled – this time from the drawing board of Yoshikazu Kawagoe, GM of the technical division’s ship planning and development group of Mitsui OSK Lines (MOL). His image of a next-generation, environment-friendly car carrier joins work on concepts for other next-generation vessels such as ferries, bulkships, tankers, and containerships.

The conceptual car carrier has been named “ISHIN-1” – which is an acronym from “Innovations in Sustainability backed by Historically-proven, INtegrated technologies”.

The sales features of the proposed vessel are pretty impressive. While in port, and during loading and unloading, she is designed to achieve zero carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. “It further develops the use of renewable energy for conventional car carriers,” Kawagoe told FTW, “and realises the zero emission goal by adopting large-capacity solar-power panels and

rechargeable batteries.”Under way, the vessel

reduces CO2 emissions

by 50%. “It adopts multiple new

technologies to greatly reduce

the vessel’s burden on the environment,” Kawagoe added. These include

use of renewable energy and optimisation of propulsion efficiency.

Under way, the vessel reduces CO2 emissions by 50%.

Proposed amendment to section 94 temporarily withdrawnThe article titled ‘Good intentions – but at what cost?’ (FTW September 4, 2009) – warning that a proposed amendment to section 94 of the Customs & Excise Act, published in the Taxation Laws Second Amendment Bill, might prove problematic – has been overtaken by legislative developments.

And while it was factually correct at the time it was written, this was no longer the case by the time it was published in early September.

Author Quintus van der Merwe, head of Customs @ Wylie explains:

“The Revenue Law Taxation Bills are published for comment. After receipt of public written responses, the proposed Bill is reconsidered.

“According to a report by the Standing Committee on Finance dated 25 August 2009, the

proposed amendment to Section 94 of the Customs & Excise Act was held possibly not to be in line with global trends and to be excessively wide. It was agreed to withdraw the proposed amendment for further consideration in consultation with the State law advisers.

“SARS is to be commended for dealing with this matter responsibly and taking public comment into consideration,” said Van der Merwe.

The proposal and subsequent withdrawal, however, highlights the difficulties faced by law makers. Van der Merwe suggests that our legislature would do well to avoid the urge to over-regulate matters and to rather concentrate on efficient administration, which more often than not would have the same effect.

The new Consumer Protection Act is a “nightmare of an act”, according to Andrew Robinson, director and maritime law specialist of Durban lawyers, Deneys Reitz.

Not in its concept or content, he added, but in what it demands of commerce and industry if they are to comply.

“Everyone with standard trading conditions (STCs) – and that’s everybody who sells goods or services – will have to go back to their STCs and check for two things,” Robinson told FTW.

“Does it apply to them, and, if so, do their sales conditions comply with the requirements of the act?”

Everybody has to do it, but will they?

“I doubt it,” said Robinson. “I think a lot won’t bother – and they could get badly nailed if their STCs don’t comply. That’s where the potential nightmare lies.”

However, you will have a period of grace in which to get your trading condition ducks in a row.

In his period as president, Kgalema Motlanthe signed the bill into law, and the department of trade and industry said that “the National Consumer Commission will commence implementation of the act after the period of 18 months from the date of signing of the bill”.

It should be noted that the act is aimed at consumer transactions and not business transactions, according to fellow Deneys Reitz director, Andrew Parsons.

“As its name suggests,” he said, “the aim of the act is to protect consumers. It seeks to do this by establishing norms and standards for consumer protection and information, prohibiting unfair marketing and business practices and legislating against unfair contractual terms.”

Although the ambit of the

act is extremely wide and all encompassing, it will be limited by the relevant minister determining a threshold for the value of transactions over which the

act will not apply. “The minister can

also grant industry-wide exemptions if there is an overlap with other similar provisions in

other legislation.”He, however, also agreed

with the “everybody must comply” concept.

“In general terms,” Parsons said, “its provisions will apply to the supply of ‘goods’ and ‘services’ to ‘consumers’, as those terms are generally understood. “But it will also regulate a host of other matters, including franchise agreements and loyalty programmes.

“The terms ‘goods’ and ‘services’ are extensively defined and will include literally any product or service imaginable – amongst them foodstuffs, music, computer games, interests in immovable property,

Companies around the country are busy assessing their standard trading conditions (STCs) to see if they comply with the rather stringent requirements of the recently introduced Consumer Protection Act – with these demands described as “a nightmare” by an FTW legal source.

A snap survey by FTW of various involved parties revealed that business in SA was profitably taking advantage of the 18-month period of grace to get their trading condition ducks in a

row after previous-president Kgalema Motlanthe signed the bill into law on April 24.

The department of trade and industry said that “the National Consumer Commission will commence implementation of the act after the period of 18 months from the date of signing of the bill”.

Legal sources told FTW that they were also still battling to get a handle on this new act – now several months after it was promulgated.

educational services, banking services and the provision of accommodation and transportation.”

An area of the act which is ave far reaching effect is that which prohibits unfair, unreasonable or unjust contractual terms.

“Certain pointers are provided as to what will comprise ‘unfair, unreasonable or unjust’ terms,” Parsons added, “namely:

• excessively one-sided contracts; • a contract being so adverse to the consumer as to be inequitable; • an indemnity, exclusion of liability or limitation of liability clause which is unfair, unreasonable, unjust or unconscionable, where such term was not recorded in plain language or the nature and effect of such clause was not drawn to the attention of the consumer before the agreement was entered into or before the consumer made any payment.”

The last of these pointers does not mean that the act outlaws exclusions or limitations of liability, or indemnities.

“But,” said Parsons, “a supplier will no longer be able to limit or exempt liability attributable to the gross negligence of the supplier. And, in particular, such clauses must be in plain language, and the facts, nature and effect of such a clause must be drawn to the attention of the consumer.”

He also added that the consequences of a court finding that a contract is unfair, unjust or unreasonable is that it is given the power to make literally whatever order it considers ‘just and reasonable’ in the circumstances, including the award of compensation to the consumer.

There is considerable urgency surrounding the formation

of the national and regional port consultative committees (PCCs), according to Andrew Thomas, CEO of Ocean Africa

Container Lines (OACL) and chairman of the SA Association of Ship Operators and Agents (Saasoa).

These are vital advisory bodies, he said, linking the private and public sectors on all matters related to port

operations and development – and give a voice to all the companies and bodies involved in the maritime freight industry.

PCCs will give a voice to the industry‘It’s an urgent priority’

The port authority must consult the PCC regarding any major scheme relating to the expansion or development of a particular port.


It’s all part of the same concept as the port regulator – with the legislation behind both the regulator and the PCCs incorporated in the new National Ports Act (NPA), No 12 of 2005.

“They were both empowered four years ago,” said Thomas. “And, although the port regulator has been up and running since August 6, we are still left waiting for the deployment of these PCCs.”

The legislative concept of the PCCs was defined for FTW by Tony Norton of lawyers, Garlicke & Bousfield, who acts as a legal adviser for the SA shipping industry and is chairman of the National Port Users’ Forum (NPUF).

“It’s all in sections 81 and 82 of the NPA,” he said.

“Section 81 states that the minister of transport must appoint a PCC for each port.”

This to consist of the harbour master of the relevant port, two persons representing the Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA); three representing the local port users; two representing the respective local and provincial governments of the area in which the port is situated; two representing organised labour; and one representing the SA Maritime Safety Authority (Samsa).

“The function of the PCC,” Norton added, “regarding

any matter concerning a port, is to provide a forum for the exchange of views between the TNPA and other interested parties, and to advise the minister.”

The NPA further states that the port authority must consult the PCC regarding any major scheme relating to the expansion or development of a particular port; or any other

matter on which the minister (of transport) or the shareholding minister (minister of public enterprises) may require the authority to consult the committee.

The way this is phrased in the NPA is: “The Authority (TNPA) may not commence with any major scheme relating to the expansion or development of a particular port

before it has submitted details of the proposed scheme to the relevant PCC and consulted with that committee regarding the scheme.

“The Authority must provide the PCC with such information as it may require to consider the proposed scheme properly, and must make itself available to answer questions and discuss the scheme with the PCC and any forum which the committee convenes to discuss the proposal.”

As for the National Port Consultative Committee (NPCC), according to Norton, the minister must appoint at least one representative from each PCC; four representatives of national government departments; a representative of the NPUF; a representative of organised labour; and a representative of the TNPA.

The functions, he added, will be for the NPCC to advise the minister on national commercial ports policy matters; measures that need to be taken to improve the regulatory framework governing management and operations of ports; to consider any proposed substantial alteration to the TNPA’s tariffs and to consider any other matter that the minister or the shareholding minister may require.

“The minister,” Norton added, “must appoint an official

of the department of transport as chairperson of the NPCC.”

He also suggested that these two sections of the act must be read together with regulations 7 to 15 of the regulations published in terms of that act.

These give a comprehensive definition of such matters as frequency, agenda and participation of meetings both at national and individual port level; the relationship between each PCC and the port regulator; who shall be appointed as chairman and secretariat of each PCC; quorums, voting, how to reach consensus, what to do in case of deadlock, subcommittees and working groups; and consultations with interested parties.

But, although everything appears clearly defined in this legislation, the whole concept of the PCCs is still at a formative stage, according to Thomas. And, while meetings are being held at each of the port centres, things like the various representatives on each committee are still uncertain.

With these committees to play such a key role in relationships between the authorities and the private sector in the future, and essential in planned future development and operation of the ports, Thomas is adamant that the PCCs must be pushed rapidly towards finalisation.

Cost and political expediency hold back SA anti-piracy efforts‘It will take R1.5 billion to keep the ships on station’

By Ray Smuts

As Somali pirates break from their heinous activities and avoid the sea while the torrential monsoon season

prevails, any potential piracy threat to shipping in South African waters appears off government’s radar.

Indeed, it is now clear an anti-piracy mission would not

only be extremely costly for South Africa but would also not be politically expedient.

The navy is ready to deal with the problem but that will not happen unless cabinet agrees.

No formal request has been received for South Africa to become involved, although FTW understands a request for naval aid was made by World Food Aid last year but not acted upon because it did not pass through the correct diplomatic channels.

Maritime Law Association (MLA) national president, Andrew Robinson, who has already alluded to the threat of piracy in the Mozambique Channel and possible implications for shipping in South African waters, said last week: “Apparently it will take R1.5 billion to keep the ships on station, but is there a R1.5 billion risk? The answer is probably no.

“I can only imagine the cabinet will consider what risk piracy poses to South African interests and whether the risks are such that they

warrant the expense.”Agreeing that pirate attacks

have tended to occur further south as the year wears on, he says: “My personal view is that like Napoleon the Somali pirates will not be able to sustain operations with very stretched supply lines.

“If they continue with attacks very far south, it will be much more difficult for them to get the kidnapped ship back into Somali waters pending ransom negotiations.”

Should piracy move close to South Africa he expects the navy to be “fired up” by cabinet to do something about the problem – and the MLA could be mandated by its members to request appropriate intervention.

Sharing much the same line of thinking as Robinson is Captain Roy Martin, national president of the Society of Master Mariners and chairman of the Durban chapter of the MLA.

Martin considers it “very unlikely” that Somali pirates will begin their activities in

South African waters – “very few places to run and hide” – but believes the navy and air force would undoubtedly have to get involved in the event of an attack.

He doubts, though, that pirates would run that risk, as that is not what they have to resort to in order to remain successful.

“The pirates’ shore bases in Somalia have to be sorted out in the first instance for piracy to be stamped out on a permanent basis. Until then the carrying of armed security guards on board all vessels trading in the danger areas should be made mandatory.”

It is evident that governments and a large number of shipping heavyweights, among them BIMCO, ICS, Intercargo and International Groups of P&I Clubs, are increasingly using ‘Best Management Practices’, a standard set of recommendations, to avoid or deter piracy attacks in the Gulf of Aden and off Somalia.

Maritime lawyers join forcesBy Alan Peat

A new force has emerged on the Durban maritime legal scene – with the amalgamation of two established outfits already specialising in the shipping, transport, logistics and insurance fields.

Durban maritime lawyers Andrew Pike and Mark van Velden are the two partners.

Pike is also known for his recent appointment as a board member of the Port Regulator, while Van Velden has notched up a decade of practice in London in the legal and P&I (protection and indemnity) sectors.

Van Velden Pike & Partners will effectively open their door on October 1, with a five-strong legal team, containing added maritime law experience.

Spreading the HIV message through innovationBy Liesl Venter

Getting information to truckers who spend most of their time on the road can be challenging, but not for the Walvis Bay Corridor Group (WBCG) which is implementing innovative new ways to deliver necessary messages.

According to Agnetha Mouton, business development officer for WBCG, the recently launched Truckers’ Health Information Toolkit is one such initiative.

“It is an absolute challenge to reach truckers at their respective workplaces, which is why it has become increasingly necessary to develop strategies that can reach them while they are on the road.”

The toolkit, developed by the WBCG HIV/Aids Help Desk with the support of the German Development Agency (GTZ), consists of some basic first aid items as well as HIV/Aids wellness-related items such as brochures, male and

female condoms, and HIV/Aids policy booklets.

“The idea is to make these toolkits available to the entire

transport sector, but in the first phase they will be distributed amongst transport companies belonging to the Help Desk.”

Truckers receive the Health Information Toolkit.

Carbon footprint concern over exportsA recent CSIR carbon balance study provides some concerning comments for South Africa’s export industry.

According to the study at least 129% more carbon is associated with a dollar earned with exports than a dollar spent on imports, and the carbon footprint of the outflows equates to 37%, on average, of the total carbon emissions of the economy.

"Such figures have serious policy-related implications in a future where international climate-change trade limitations will become stricter and binding," argue CSIR researchers Drs Alan Brent, Russell Wise and Sibbele Hietkamp in a paper to be published shortly.

"A consequence of these stricter international requirements is that they will make South African exports with large associated carbon footprints uncompetitive.”

A TRACK RECORD YOU CAN TRUST29 YEARS

‘Expect more airline casualties in months ahead’29 have already gone out of business

By Liesl Venter

Airlines are not expected to emerge from the global financial crisis unscathed, the International Air Transport Association (Iata) said last week, announcing a revised global financial forecast predicting more losses.

Speaking from Washington DC, Giovanni Bisignani, Iata director general and CEO, said some 29 airlines had gone out of business since 2008.

“And we expect more

casualties in the coming months,” said Bisignani. “Cash is king at present. Many of the larger airlines have built up cash reserves in the past ten months through debt and equity and it serves them as a sort of war chest with which to fight the crisis. It does mean however that critical investments are put on hold.”

Smaller airlines, said Bisignani, had no reserves and were still relying on banks that are still not lending. “In the past few months we have seen

medium size airlines go out of business – size at this stage is relative. We are expecting the situation to become worse and if the yields continue to go down we are looking at a long-term disaster.”

He said Iata was investing in several programmes to help airlines cut costs and manage capacity such as the e-freight system. “We want to take the paper out of cargo, but it is a complicated programme and it needs government buy-in. It will take time but we hope to

see at least 80% of countries running freight implementing this e-freight system by 2010 as it will go a long way in conserving cash and making the business more efficient.”

Bisignani said it was about finding ways of keeping airlines afloat during this critical period that was still far from over for the industry.

“But this is not an airline-only crisis. There is less cash coming into the industry and the entire value chain must be prepared for change. All our

business partners – including airports, air navigation service providers, global distribution systems – must be prepared to cut costs and improve efficiencies. Some airports have delivered cost reductions, but not in line with the magnitude of the changes to the industry cash flow.”

It was important that monopoly providers also realised the severity of the situation and got on board in helping to build efficiencies, he said.

‘Increased cargo volumes signal start of recovery’By Liesl Venter

Yields for cargo are expected to fall by at least 15% in the coming months, the International Air Transport Association (Iata) said last week.

Forecasting deeper losses for the industry, Iata said cargo utilisation remained at less than 50% despite the

removal of 227 freighters from the global fleet.

“There is little hope for an early recovery in yields in either the passenger or cargo markets,” said Giovanni Bisignani, Iata’s director general and CEO.

In a teleconference from Washington, Bisignani said the industry remained at risk despite cargo figures

improving slightly compared to passenger traffic.

“The only positive number for us is that of freight. Cargo is flying again which means that recovery is taking place.”

He said that the first impact of stabilising economies was seen in airfreight volumes, which were flat during the first quarter of 2009, but started to rise in the second

quarter. “July airfreight tonne kilometers flown were around 10% up on the December low point, although still well below year earliest levels.”

Bisignani said leading indicators such as the Purchasing Managers’ Survey pointed to further improvements as the inventory cycle turned positive.

“However, with consumer spending and investment still weak the foundations for this upturn remain fragile. Moreover, airfreight is being carried at lower and lower yields, which were down over 20% in the second quarter,” he said. “There remains a lost of pressure on yields which will slow any revenue upturn.”

African airlines can expect further losses… despite growth in some economies during global recession

By Liesl Venter

The outlook for Africa’s carriers for the second half of 2009 and 2010 remains unchanged with an expected loss of $0.5 billion, according to the International Air Transport Association (Iata).

This is in spite of many economies on the continent continuing to grow during the global recession. “African airlines were not able to benefit and lost market share.

Further losses in the region are expected next year,” said Iata’s director general and CEO, Giovanni Bisignani.

With the industry facing a loss of $11 billion for 2009 both passenger traffic and cargo volumes are expected to remain low.

“Cargo is expected to decline by 14% for 2009 compared to declines of 17% in our June forecast,” said Bisignani. “By July cargo demand was -11.3% and

passenger demand was -2.9%. While both are improvements over the lows of -23.2% for cargo in January and -11.1% for passengers in March, both markets remain weak.”

Bisignani advised airlines to cut costs in the coming months and to increase efficiency while conserving cash as far as possible.

“The global economic storm may be abating, but airlines have not yet found safe harbour. The crisis continues.”

‘Impact of recession worse than 9/11’Lost revenue will take years to recover

By Liesl Venter

Airlines across the world continue to reel from the global economic downturn with losses now estimated at more than $27 billion.

“The bottom line of this crisis – with combined losses for 2008 and 2009 at US$27 billion – is larger than the impact of 9/11,” said Giovanni Bisignani, director general and CEO of the International Air Transport Association (Iata). “This is not a short-term shock. US$80 billion will disappear from the industry’s top line. That 15% of lost revenue will take years to recover.”

Airlines suffered major losses following 9/11, which saw passenger figures drop drastically. “But it was only for three months and at a time when the economy was growing. Even then it took airlines three years to recover. And this crisis has been worse,” said Bisignani. “We do not expect revenues to result in

any profitability before at least 2012, even only 2013.”

Iata revised its global financial forecast for the second half of the year predicting airline losses for 2009 to total around $11 billion – $2 billion worse than the previously projected loss of $9 billion. Industry revenues are expected to fall by $80 billion (15%) to $455 billion compared with 2008 levels.

According to Bisignani, three major factors are driving the expected losses. These include demand that continues to decline; yield that is expected to fall at least 12% for passengers and 15% for cargo as well as the cost of fuel.

“The optimism in the global economy has seen passenger and freight volumes rise, but that is the only bright spot,” said Bisignani. “Rising costs and falling yields have squeezed airline cash flows. The sharp decline in yields will leave a lasting mark on the industry’s structure.”

Airfreight volumes started to rise in the second quarter.

The one is a Cheetah, the other a Bull. One of them claims to be a Lion and the fourth is definitely a Shark. Understandably they don’t always agree – over rugby that is – but when it comes to business they stand as one.

Ken Hall never thought his boys and son-in-law would join him in the family business – in fact, it was never expected, but one by one they have come on board.

“I consider myself very lucky to have my entire family work with me,” says Hall, who has been in the transport industry since the sixties. A Zambian by birth his love for horses led him

to trucks. “Now we have changed the four legged ones for the mechanical kind.”

Along with his wife Cindy, with whom he has worked since she left school, they built up a transport business now situated in Spartan on the East Rand. Under the banner of Greendoor Logistics their son Richard soon joined and now heads up Ka Go 2 Go, an express and consolidations transporter to Zambia, while their youngest, Gary, is at the helm of Cargo 2 Congo, which focuses on project cargo to Congo.

Their eldest daughter, Samantha, decided not to follow in the family’s footsteps and became a chef, but her husband, Jacques,

found himself roped in and now heads up the warehouse facility.

“I always knew he would be good as his personality type suits this industry,” says Hall about the man who is also the father of his first grandchild. “It did take some convincing to get him to come on board.”

Unlike Hall’s boys, Jacques did not grow up around trucks. “I had never worked in the transport industry so it was a big decision, but the best one I could have made.”

For Gary and Richard it is a privilege to learn from their father. “He has been doing it for so long and has had failures and successes. We can learn from that and we

do – all the time,” says Gary, whose passion for trucks is evident. “I always knew I was going to work with my dad. I grew up in this industry.”

Richard, on the other hand, it is about giving back. “My parents did a lot for us and I think being involved with the family business is a way we can give back to them.”

A close-knit family, there is a lot of trust and respect for each other. “There is something to be said for working with people you know and trust,” says Gary. “Unlike a company where it may take years to really get to know your colleagues, we have that foundation, that bond.”

And it is not about pay cheques – but rather about taking their father’s legacy forward.

“They never had to join,” says Hall. “It was their choice, but when they did, we decided to grow the business to create more opportunities for everyone.”

His advice to anyone who has the opportunity to work with their family is to do it. “The most important thing is family. It is not about making the most money – it helps, but that is not what is important – my wife, my children, my grandchildren – my family. That is what is important. We are very blessed.”

China and SA cement bilateral relationsBy Liesl Venter

A South Africa procurement mission from China is set to visit South Africa before the end of the year in an effort to increase trade relations between the two countries, says Ebrahim Ebrahim, South African Deputy Minister of International Relations and Cooperation.

Ebrahim, who co-chaired the South Africa-China Strategic Dialogue Forum with his counterpart from the People’s Republic of China, Assistant Minister Zhai Jun, last week, said it was important to strengthen trade relations between South Africa and China.

An annual consultation, the forum takes place against the backdrop of solid bilateral and trade relations between the two countries.

At this year’s forum Jun and Ebrahim looked at ways to further build on the solid foundation by focusing on reviewing bilateral relations, African issues and China’s policy towards Africa as well as multilateral cooperation and international developments.

Launched on January 8 last year, the Strategic Dialogue Forum offers the two countries an opportunity to discuss bilateral economic and political co-operation.

Shipping line secures major cement contractUAL-SA, local subsidiary of the global specialist shipping company to the West African oil and gas industries, has secured a contract to carry cement from Cape Town to Soyo, Angola, where a major liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant is under construction. UAL-SA MD Haakon Røstad says the contract kicked off in July 2009 and will run until January 2010. UAL will carry 65 000 metric tonnes in the six-month period, broken up into several monthly allotments to be shipped in 1 tonne bags.

Call for enquiry into Eskom CEOThe Democratic Alliance has called for a Judicial Commission of Enquiry to investigate the CEO of Eskom, Jacob Maroga. According to the country’s official opposition party, Maroga ignored a series of confidential internal memos

that showed Eskom’s internal practices were precipitating an energy crisis in South Africa. This as well as determining who else knew about them should be investigated. According to the DA, a memo authored by a leading international expert warned Eskom that without intervention its primary energy generation faced collapse and would not be able to meet current needs, much less future requirements. This memo is said to have been delivered to Maroga some six months prior to the rolling blackouts that hit South Africa in early 2008.

Of the 17 major shipping companies with published financial results during the period, all of them reported losses – with the bulk of the losses coming from the liner shipping operations. Current freight rates are cash negative and all major carriers are making losses at the EBITDA level (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation). Cash reserves have been eroded as the carriers’ battered balance sheets have come under considerable strain. The situation has led almost all the major carriers to seek additional capital.

“the Safari (SA-Far East) service volumes did pick up as expected, although the increased seasonal flows were lower than those experienced in 2007 and 2008.

“Safmarine provided two extra loaders (on a round-trip basis) as part of our Safari 1 service at the end of August and early September to serve the additional/seasonal demand for capacity. A third extra loader is likely to be provided before the end of September – subject to demand.”

He then expected seasonal import volume trends for September and October 2009 to reflect a similar pattern to previous years – that is, taper down by October, effectively ending the ‘peak’ season.

De Bruyn noted no significant seasonal import peak for the USA and Europe trades.

“Not only are these more mature markets,” he added, “but a lot of manufacturing has moved to the East, which is why seasonal flows ex Asia are more pronounced.”

From page 1

Letsoalo resignswas promoted to the position of COO, with a number of divisional executive managers reporting directly to him.

Effectively the number-two behind Tau Morwe, Letsoalo has had a close relationship with the SA shipping industry – which has expressed regret at his departure.

“We’re very sorry to see him go,” said Andrew Thomas, CEO of Ocean African Container Line

(OACL) and chairman of the SA Association of Ship Operators and Agents (Saasoa). “Solly has done a good job, and has been a fantastic guy to work with over the years.”

Also in a now unusual move for a government organisation, TPT CEO Morwe has immediately appointed Nosipho Damasane to succeed Letsoalo. She is currently the GM for sales, logistics and commercial.

Industry doyen diesBY Joy Orlek

A doyen of the freight industry, Jeff Piater (58), died last week after complications related to a heart condition.

Described by long-time colleague and friend Tiger Wessels as one of the greatest visionaries the industry has ever known, Piater joined the industry immediately after school, working for Aeromarine, Freightmarine and Safmarine before joining logistics major WTC, today known at UTi, in a sales capacity.

He worked his way up the corporate ladder from sales manager to general manager, eventually taking on the role

of managing director before a heart attack forced him into early retirement.

He continued to work for UTi in its projects division on a consultancy basis until 18 months ago

According to Rod Taylor, managing director of International Liner Agencies, who has known Jeff for the past 25 years, he was a unique individual whose enthusiasm and insights were an inspiration to so many successful leaders in the industry.

A fanatical fisherman, he never missed an opportunity to pursue his aquatic interest.

Jeff leaves his wife Debbie and three children.

Botswana gets own port facility at Walvis BayBY James Hall

Walvis Bay – Figuratively speaking Bisey Uirab, CEO of the Namibian Ports Authority (Namport), had a point when he declared last week, “Botswana is no longer landlocked.”

It’s not that global warming has extended the Atlantic Ocean to Gaborone, but rather the country now has its own port facility at Walvis Bay, which is managed by Namport. Uirab made his declaration at a lease-signing ceremony officiated by Botswana’s High Commissioner to Namibia, Norman Molebege.

Last year, Botswana cargo volumes passing into and out of Walvis Bay stood at 5000 tonnes, and the figure

is expected to increase now that the Botswana Dry Port is operating. There’s plenty of time; the initial lease runs for 50 years, with an option for Botswana to renew for another 50 years.

“The dry port is located outside the fenced area of the Walvis Bay port, and is 36 000 m2 in size, which is large. There are existing road and rail links to the site,” said Rosa Isaaks of Namport’s property division.

SA shippers of cargo arriving by sea can reduce travel time to Botswana by using the Trans Kalahari Corridor (TKC). Transit time from Gaborone to Walvis Bay via the TKC is one day compared to two days

from Gauteng.The Botswana dry port, or

ICD (inland container depot), was arranged on a government-to-government basis through the Walvis Bay Corridor Group.

The ICD will be further developed with support infrastructure involving a container terminal, cold storage facilities, offices and a warehouse.

A Namport announcement quotes Botswana Permanent Secretary for Works and Transport Carter Morupisi saying, “Walvis Bay is strategically the best placed harbour for our import and export needs, and now that we have a dry port here, we can save money and time.”
