The arrival of the ro-con+ vessel Bahri Jeddah at the Port

of Tilbury has marked the start of a new, highly flexible

shipping link between the UK and the Middle East region.

The service, operated by the National Shipping Company of Saudi Arabia

(Bahri), offers shippers a completely new option for shipping heavy roll-

on/roll-off, project and containerised cargoes between the UK, Northern

Europe and the Gulf region. It began in November with calls including

Bremerhaven, Antwerp and Bilbao and now, with UK-based cargo

building strongly, Tilbury is confirmed as part of the monthly schedule.

The 25,957 dwt multipurpose Bahri Jeddah and sister ship Bahri

Abha, built in 2013, are flexible, self-geared ro-con+ vessels offering

6.8 metre height clearance, 250-tonne ramp capacity and two

120-tonne deck cranes with tandem lift capacity of 240 tonnes.

They have seven decks, including two hoistable decks, the ability

to carry up to 700 cars, and a combined deck capacity of 25,000

square metres, plus container capacity for 300 TEU. The ships are

fully equipped to carry standard containers, rolling vehicles, tracked

vehicles, static cargo, project cargo and high & heavy cargo.

DKT Allseas Shipping, a 50/50 joint venture between Allseas Global

Logistics and De Keyser Thornton, is the liner agent for the service.

Thanks to the extreme flexibility of these vessels and the service,

we have the benefit of not being limited to any single target sector

of the market. However, a major focus is big project cargoes, which

can be handled by the onboard cranes and via ro-ro. The unique

factor is that shippers now have the benefit of a direct call into the

UK, instead of having to tranship to Antwerp.

Trevor Kay, Bahri service Line Manager, DKT Allseas

After the Northern Europe calls, the service passes through the

Suez Canal to call at Jeddah, Jebel Ali and Dammam. A wide range

of other ports in the region will be served by inducement or by

transhipment via own tonnage and approved partner carriers.

TILBURY TO THE MIDDLE EASTWITH BAHRI


The Freight Transport Association (FTA) is backing the

launch of Scotland’s rail freight strategy stating that it will

be good for the freight and logistics industry.

Transport Minister, Derek Mackay, launched the Scottish

Government document ‘Delivering the Goods’, described as a

new vision for Scotland’s rail freight sector which will tap into

new and growing markets. The Minister called upon industry and

business to unite behind the delivery of the strategy and support

the rail freight sector.

FTA was consulted by the Government and contributed to the

strategy when it introduced its own document ‘Agenda for More

Freight by Rail’.

It is vital that the challenges to rail freight in Scotland are

recognised. Volumes have fallen with the demise of coal traffic and

loss of steel. The biggest opportunity is intermodal traffic – both

deep sea container export goods and domestic Anglo-Scottish

traffic, including retailer.

Chris MacRae, Head of Policy for Scotland, FTA

Whilst the Chancellor’s announcement to freeze fuel

in today’s Budget has been welcomed by the FTA it

has also expressed disappointment that he did not

take the opportunity to reduce fuel duty – stating that he could

have done better.

The Freight Transport Association has said that George Osborne has

missed the opportunity to boost economy by introducing a reduction

in fuel duty by 3 pence per litre. In its pre-Budget submission FTA

told the Chancellor that a reduction would make an important

contribution towards protecting the UK economy.

A further freeze of duties is welcome but the Chancellor missed

a chance to give a boost to the stuttering economy by reducing the

tax on an essential business input

James Hookham, Managing D irector of Policy & Communications, FTA

As part of its pre-Budget submission, FTA asked the Chancellor

to consider the economic benefi ts that could be delivered by

further development of the government’s approach to fuel duty.

The Association said that reducing road fuel duty would ease cost

pressure on businesses operating commercial vehicles and stimulate

economic growth.

FTA fi gures estimate that every penny of fuel duty costs commercial

vehicle operators £120 million a year, and a 3ppl cut would have

saved around £350 million a year for an industry that all British

businesses rely upon.

As a founder member of FairFuelUK FTA has been campaigning for a

3p per litre cut in fuel duty. Industry currently pays around £7 billion

annually in duty and an increase of just one penny would add £470

a year to the cost of running a 44-tonne truck, which would have a

huge impact on transport operators.

Also included in the FTA pre-Budget submission was the need to

address a continued skills shortage in the freight and logistics industry,

the importance of investing in infrastructure, and highlights measures

that it believes are necessary to ensure that the industry can continue

to play its role in supporting the economy as it grows.

FUEL DUTY FREEZE GOOD BUT NOT GREATSAYS FTA


Heathrow’s pledge to become the most sustainable

airport hub in the world has been bolstered by

a new emissions reduction blueprint that puts an

emphasis on tackling freight emissions through an online data

portal. Operators can use the portal to exchange information

about spare vehicle capacity and to negotiate a price for the

use of cargo space on viable vehicles such as cargo plans and

delivery trucks.

Heathrow’s head of cargo Nick Platts said: Operating

a cleaner, leaner and more efficient freight operation is

an essential part of delivering on our ambition to be the

best airport in Europe for cargo gateway in the world.

This WebPortal can deliver for all. Our cargo partners can

reduce their costs, our local communities will experience less

congestion and improved air quality, and Heathrow will build

on its strength as an airport of choice for cargo.

The Airport—which handles over 1.5m tonnes of cargo each

year—will use the portal in an attempt to reduce the amount of

cargo planes and trucks operating around the airport. Currently

the fleet accounts for servicing, deliveries and cargo operations.

Operators can use the portal to negotiate a price for the use of

cargo space on viable vehicles.

Along with the portal – the UK’s first geographically specified system

of its kind – Heathrow will introduce an off-airport distribution

centre, increased road monitoring and tighter licensing regulations

as part of plans to future-proof its freight fleet. The airport is also

looking into low-emission vehicles for the future and has already

experimented zero-emission, driverless pods for transport.

The Daygard Group of Companies include NVOCCs Freight Movers International (“FMI”) and Cargo Movers International (“CMI”), as well as the Customs clearance division, Daygard Clearances.

In 2003 FMI was formed to primarily handle imports from China and by 2004 FMI had expanded to include imports and exports to/from many areas and carrying for various sized freight forwarders including some multi-nationals.Over time relationships were built with some of the biggest agents in their respective countries leading to the formation of CMI.

While groupage containers (of LCL) form the backbone of the company there has been rapid growth in FCL services during the past 3 years leading to improved buying rates with carriers and better rates for clients.

In under 13 years the Daygard Group has become one of the largest independent NVOCCs in the UK covering all major trade lanes and with more direct weekly services than most in the market. The Daygard Group provides logistics solutions and services tailored to meet their customer’s needs.

LEO Global Logistics—Thailand’s leading independent

logistics company, and the Thai member of the FPS Group

independent forwarding and NVOCC network—has

undertaken its ‘My School’ Project for the second time.

The My School Project supports rural schools in remote areas of

Thailand – renovating and improving buildings, adding amenities

such as improved toilet facilities, and providing books and other

teaching equipment.

The project started in 2013 at Baan Huay Pla Gong School in Mae

Ra Maad district, Tak province, on the Thailand-Myanmar border. In

2016 My School returned to Tak Province, this time choosing Baan

Thong Chai School, in the Mae Sod district, to receive its support.

LEO Global Logistics President and CEO Khun Kettivit

Sittisoontornwong was amongst over 100 volunteers that

included group management, clients and employees. As the school

is located high in the mountains, the challenging journey took six

hours to complete.

Amongst this year’s activities were the re-cladding of the school roofs

to reduce heat, building new walls and painting them, decorating

three further school buildings, and installing three more toilets, as

well as donating more books for the school library.

Says Khun Kettivit Sittisoontornwong: The My School Project is

part of our company’s Corporate Social Responsibilty programme,

which has run for 13 consecutive years. LEO Global Logistics

has long been aware of the importance of improving quality of

education, which we believe is essential to the future of the nation.

We need to develop and support children, so enabling them to

have a better quality of life. The My School Project raises funds

and enlists volunteers to help and support disadvantaged children,

and provide teachers with good quality new books, equipment and

materials. We particularly recognize the importance of education for

children living in remote areas, who do not receive enough learning

opportunities. Unlike schools in the city, often there are no books,

education materials or even chairs.

Seago, the intra-European shipping line which is part

of Maresk Group, is to launch a new cargo route

between Algeciras-Liverpool-Dublin.

The news is positive for Peel Ports, the owner and developer

of the new container terminal at the Port of Liverpool.

The two services that have already been announced,

combined with these additional new services, are a strong

signal of the intent from lines in the run up to the opening

of Liverpool2.

Patrick Walters, Commercial Director, Peel Ports

He added: Carriers are being increasingly convinced of the

arguments around the strength of shipping closer to market

via the North-west; partly due to the excellent support we

have received from cargo owners who are looking for ways

to reduce costs, carbon emissions and congestion in their

supply chain.

The service will aim to strengthen Liverpool2’s Irish Sea hub

offering an established direct cargo connection to and from

the North West of England to Ireland and onwards to the

Mediterranean.

It will offer six days transit time between Algeciras and

Liverpool, with vessels arriving and departing on Wednesdays.

This is the first time that the Maersk Group Company has used

Liverpool for UK cargoes in over 10 years and will be Maersk

Group’s first direct connection to the Irish capital.

Furthermore, our customers located in the Liverpool hinterland

can now access South European and North African markets with

Seago Line as a complementary addition to our existing offer.

Brian Godsafe, Managing Director, Maersk Line UK and Ireland

He concluded: The service is a positive addition to our current

portfolio. The Irish Sea feeder offers flexibility to customers in the

Liverpool area and the wider North-west region.

This announcement followed the news that WEC Lines has also

introduced a number of new services to the Port of Liverpool.

The first call to the Port of Liverpool by Seago Line is scheduled for

April 13, 2016.

A 16-year-old boy with dreams of running his own

transport company was amongst delegates at the Freight

Transport Association’s Skills Summit—Attract, Recruit

& Retain—yesterday, which explored how to solve the skills gap

in the logistics industry.

The FTA event, sponsored by DAF Trucks, was held at the Ricoh

Arena, Coventry, and attracted over 400 attendees, including

Bradley Hunt – who last week became the youngest ever candidate

to sit an FTA Operator Licence Awareness Training exam.

Bradley from Tamworth is currently juggling GCSE studies with

weekends learning the trade at a transport company, and he already

recognises the challenges of working in the transport sector.

I think it’s hard for people because it’s expensive, especially with

the cost of getting a licence these days, and the CPC isn’t cheap

either. But it’s an industry that’s not going to disappear any time

soon. Even in a recession you can’t manage without transport: there

would be no food on the table, no bricks to build houses, he said.

Bradley met FTA’s Head of Automotive, Technician & Workshop

Development Lawrie Alford at the Skills Show in Birmingham last

year and impressed Lawrie with his industry knowledge.

He knew the fundamentals of operator licensing and

showed a passion for commercial vehicles that I have rarely

seen in nearly 40 years. He seemed to eat and breathe

transport and logistics, he said.

FTA’s General Manager of Training Keith Gray has now

offered for the Association to sponsor Brad through his

Transport Manager CPC course later this year.

Keith said: I think Brad demonstrates there is a bright

future for our industry. We need to engage with young people

and focus on the positives. For too long, logistics has been an

industry that people fell into. We need to be an industry that

attracts individuals by design rather than luck.

Bradley’s dad, uncle and aunt work in the transport industry

and he’s determined to start an apprenticeship as soon as

he finishes school. The image of the industry is one of the

issues on the agenda at today’s event – and Bradley agrees

it’s a problem that needs tackling if more young people are

to be attracted.

There’s a stereotypical image of truckers eating burgers,

sitting behind a wheel. People are surprised a 16 year old

would be interested, he said.

FTA’s Skills Summit at the Ricoh Arena, which was

sponsored by DAF Trucks and supported by Goodyear

and Microlise, followed the success of last year’s Solving

the Driver Crisis Summit. The free event featured a filmed

keynote speech by entrepreneur and Skills Show patron

Theo Paphitis and an afternoon of masterclasses hosted

by a variety of industry experts.

For those of us involved in the shipping of dangerous

goods, we are obliged to follow the rules that pertain

to each of the modes of transport. These regulations

are published biennially and they are there to help prevent

injury to persons or damage to property or the environment.

Every two years the UN publishes the Model Regulations for the

Transport of Dangerous Goods, known as the 'Orange Book'.

The 19th Edition (2015) gives recommendations that they expect

to see adopted in the next tranche of regulations governing

the transport of dangerous goods for each of the modes. In Europe

these are ADR (Road), RID (Rail) and ADN (Inland Waterways). Sea

(IMDG) and Air (ICAO/IATA) are implemented globally.

The 2017 versions of all of these will be available from October 2016.

Air transport regulations will kick in on 1st January 2017, whilst there

are transition periods of six months for Road and one year for Sea.

Coming into effect from 1 July, the International Maritime

Organisation’s new SOLAS regulations will impact sea

freight shipments globally. With just under three months to

go, ports, carriers and agencies are beginning to provide a little more

information with regards to how they are preparing for the change.

In the UK the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) have advised

that a variation to the declared verified gross mass (VGM) of +/- 5%

or 500kgs, whichever is greater, will be applicable in determining

non-compliance of containers by carriers. They have also issued

guidelines for the procedure of applying for approval to use Method

2 (weighing individual items) but these have yet to be made public.

The major terminal operators, DP World and APMT, which operate

at over 200 ports around the world have both announced they will be

offering solutions for the provision of VGM’s to ensure supply chains

are maintained with the minimum of delay. We understand that the

Ports of Felixstowe, Antwerp, Rotterdam and Singapore are

amongst the first terminals to announce that provisions will

be made for VGM’s to be carried out on site.

In a bid to ensure the timely, effective communication of the

VGM one major carrier has advised they will be partnering with

INTTRA, the ocean shipping’s leading e-marketplace as the

channel to receive electronic transmissions of VGM’s, whilst the

U.S based Ocean Carrier Equipment Management Association

(OCEMA) have gone so far as to issue a best practice guideline

for US export shippers in transmitting the VGM to the carrier

and terminal. As an association made up of 18 of the most

influential shipping lines throughout the world, it is fair to

assume that, whilst there will be different systems to link, such

procedures will eventually be adopted within other countries.

Amazon Fulfilment Services has taken its first step

into the air freight market through an agreement

to lease 20 Boeing 767 cargo planes from Air

Transport Services Group (ATSG).

By leasing the fleet of freight planes, Amazon will have

a dedicated, fully-customised air cargo network to

support its existing transport and distribution activity

in the US. Specifically, the planes will help Amazon fulfil

its one and two-day delivery services to customers.

We offer ultra-fast delivery promises to a growing group of Prime

members and we’re excited to supplement our existing delivery

network by adding 20 planes to ensure air cargo capacity to support

one and two-day delivery for customers.

Dave Clark, Senior VP worldwide operations and customer service, Amazon

The aircraft will be run by ATSG’s airline – ABX Air and Air Transport

International with logistics services provided by LGSTX Services.

Amazon is leasing the planes for five – seven years, representing a

significant investment for the company.

MIES International Ltd, part of the PS Forwarding Group

of Companies, has announced the development of

its new warehousing facilities. Through their group

company Tame Park Logistics, a deal has been struck with Clowes

Developments, on their Ivanhoe Business Park at Ashby-de-la-

Zouch, in Leicestershire, to purchase what was intended to be a

speculatively constructed warehouse of 36,000 sq.ft.

With work now well underway, and with some bespoke alterations

made; terms have been agreed, solicitors instructed and contracts

have been signed. They anticipate being up and running in their new

logistics terminal sometime in September – October of this year.

MIES International will very soon be celebrating 40 years in business,

so this announcement comes at a very exciting time for the company.

The development at Ivanhoe Business Park exactly meets the needs

of the company in order to accommodate growth and support their

business plans for the future.

Europa’s forwarding team has had a huge boost in business,

resulting in a 120 per cent increase in bookings over the

last 12 months.

The team of six is based at a £20m facility at ProLogis Park, Minworth

in Birmingham and is a part of Europa Road, a division of innovative

logistics operator, Europa Worldwide Group.

The Forwarding team supports Europa Road’s other services and

handles full load, part load and express van deliveries. Its key focus

is on providing bespoke solutions for customers to complement the

network services.

The forwarding team is led by National European Forwarding

Manager Simon Hucks who has been with the business for five years.

As the business has developed Simon has expanded the department

from two to six people in 18 months, as a reaction to the growing

demand facilitated by the high quality, cost effective solutions the

team are able to source.

Simon commented, Europa have a strong and structured network

operation across Europe, but in addition to this many clients have

full load, or express requirements that we can serve without them

having to find separate suppliers. Often those customers demand

quick responses, and the same tracking information through the

life of the movement. We know the market place and optimise the

most appropriate solution from a spectrum of carefully sourced, but

vast array of suppliers, aiming to maximise our purchasing position

whilst having the flexibility to always find the best option. Express

customers, more than any other must have accurate and effective

information, something we ensure is available efficiently on all

movements we handle.

Simon added, Strong and trusted relationships are key to our role,

and we work hard to nurture and add value to our suppliers. In order

to supplement our position for express van work we have five new

liveried tail lift curtain sided vans. We believe having our vehicles

sets us apart from others and allows greater control, flexibility and

security of the goods we carry. With our continued growth in this

area we anticipate to increase the liveried fleet further this year.

Since its acquisition in 2013 Europa has continued to invest in both

its team and services. The business has launched dedicated new

divisions as well as opened a £30m new site and 1hub in Dartford.

Europa Road has kick-started ambitious plans to launch 10 new

direct daily services for customers in 2016. A market leader in

European express freight services between the UK and Europe for

almost 50 years, Europa Worldwide Group employs more than 600

people across 12 sites in the UK and Hong Kong and is represented

in 100 countries.

London Heathrow: Aerospace logistics provider B&H Worldwide

has been appointed by Ontic, a wholly owned subsidiary of

BBA Aviation plc, as its specialist warehouse and inventory

management company for worldwide Ontic-owned AOG support assets.

A B&H dedicated, climate-controlled facility at Heathrow will act as

principal service centre

with a central store providing a 24/7/365 operation. All items that form

part of the inventory are produced by Ontic, a leading manufacturer

or OEM-licenced parts, which also provides MRO services for legacy

aerospace platforms from facilities around the globe.

The facility’s close proximity to London Heathrow with its

unparalleled range of international destinations makes it an ideal

place to locate the centre.

All shipments from Heathrow will be coordinated through

B&H’s unique OnTrack web portal where customers can log

in to have their parts despatched—with full instructions—at

any hour of the day or night. Parts are received at B&H’s

Heathrow facility from all over the world with many being

integral elements of the exchange program Ontic operates

with its customers. From there the logged-in customer has

a choice of how the items are received, can see where the

stock is, what the stock levels are and see photos of it. Once

the required item is selected he can complete the whole

process via OnTrack.

The bespoke nature of our service solution is what

appealed to Ontic. It’s the kind of customer service where

our specialist knowledge of the aerospace logistics industry

stands out from the crowd and where we can deliver the highly

technical support Ontic requires from producing the correct

documentation to providing electro-static equipment and a

humidity controlled atmosphere for storing their parts.

Chris Allen, Customer Solutions Manager, B&H Worldwide

In addition to providing the global inventory service B&H is

also able to act as a fulfilment centre for delivery of AOG

freight shipments where required by Ontic.

Pentalver roared with delight managing the inland

transportation and handling of the latest Longleat

Pride member.

The fibreglass lion sculpture was commissioned to celebrate

Longleat Safari Park’s 50th anniversary. The sculpture will be officially

celebrated at a special anniversary party later this year where Sir

Elton John will perform.

Pentalver was the obvious choice for returning customer Tigers

Global Logistics (www.go2tigers.com) because of the complete

solution Pentalver offer. Our strategically placed depots and

innovative container solutions and services compliment such a

special out of gauge project cargo move.

The Lion sculpture is 8 metres long and 4.3 metres tall and weighs

almost 3 tonnes. It arrived at London Gateway from South Africa

in a 40ft open top container on board Safmarine Highveld on the

11th March 2016.

Tigers, a global supply chain group headquartered in Hong Kong,

have a close relationship with Bruce Little, the South African based

sculptor, who sculpted the lion. Tigers South Africa handled the

shipment from source and engaged Pentalver to handle the UK

delivery leg from the port to Longleat Safari Park.

Pentalver Specialist Haulage Team transported the loaded 40ft open

top container from London Gateway to Tilbury where the Cargo

Handling Team carefully de-vanned the container and loaded the

sculpture onto the wafer deck trailer. The transportation to Longleat

Safari Park was captured by many on their phones as the Lion was

such an unusual impressive sight to be seen on the motorway. The

dedicated Pentalver Specialist Haulage team are very experienced

and trusted in handling such unusual cargo.

Pentalver were delighted to be involved in such a prestigious

project. We were first instructed to deliver the lion by crate, however

the consignment was too high to travel by road on our super low

loader, so our expert cargo handling team carefully removed the Lion

sculpture from the casing. Our one stop shop service provided the

customer and artist with peace of mind knowing the sculpture was

in safe hands. Pentalver have the expertise and equipment needed

to ensure a smooth transit from Port to final delivery at Longleat.

Dap UK Limited has been awarded single source supplier

status with pre-coated metal specialist Cooper Coated

Coil, based in Wolverhampton, UK. Following a 12 year

relationship with the company providing export management, dap

will now be responsible for all UK export traffic exclusively, offering

security and control with regards to movement of materials from

the UK to worldwide destinations.

Established in 1966, Cooper Coated Coil has a long history of

innovative coating technology, specialising in the application of

non-stick coatings to metal coils. Currently celebrating its 50th

anniversary, the company offers bespoke solutions to customers

and boasts a history of exceptional customer service delivery.

Commenting on the exclusivity agreement with dap, Kevin Tranter,

Managing Director at Cooper Coated Coil said...

We have a number of sales agencies and distributors across the

globe. It’s vital that our customer service delivery encompasses the

literal movement of our products to our customers, and that they

can rely on us. Working with dap in an exclusive agreement means

we can continue to guarantee the highest levels of customer service

when it comes to delivery of orders, because we can rely on the

company to manage every element of product movement across

the world and trust that our reputation, as well as our product, is

in safe hands.

It’s always a pleasure to solidify relationships with clients

in the form of exclusive agreements. It means we can control

delivery of service and know that every element of freight

movement is being managed by our team, rather than having

to rely on external suppliers who we can be at the mercy of

at times. Cooper Coated Coil have been a client for almost

12 years already and we look forward to the next stage or

our relationship as their exclusive supplier.

Following the acquisitions of SHE Maritime in the UK and

Econocaribe Consolidators in the US, ECU Line have

become one of the market leaders in the US. SHE Maritime

has been involved in the US trade for over 30 years and Econocaribe,

who were established in 1968, has a strong network throughout

Central America and the Caribbean. Coupled with the expertise

and knowledge of over 200 staff in the UK and the US, ECU Line

has fast become one of the most reliable and efficient LCL carriers

to and from the US.

As of today ECU Line and all owned brands worldwide are unifying

and processes end to end. At the same time retaining the knowledge,

experience and personnel that made the group strong and continues

to underpin the organisation today.

Operating seven LCL routes directly into London from: Atlanta,

Charleston, Chicago, Houston, Miami, New York and Los Angeles,

and with two routes directly into Manchester from Chicago and

New York it enables us to give a wider choice for importers to

receive freight quickly and efficiently. With facilities in Purfleet and

Manchester we are able to arrange unloading within 24 hours of the

vessels arrival at the port of entry be it Liverpool or Southampton.

Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, and New York with receiving

facilities in 10 different locations throughout the UK. These

services are supplemented with an extensive IPI network

throughout the country encompassing over 60 CFS stations.

The USA market can be complex with strict procedures

for pre-filing shipments at both ends so it’s important you

are working with a supplier who knows the market and has

stringent procedures in place. Likewise it vital that your

supplier is in control of the containers at both ends to ensure

transparency. The USA is a big country with many different

entry points, partly served by sea and land so is essential your

supplier has strong networks in both.

New customs regulations in effect from 1 May 2016 will have

a dramatic impact on the process of clearance for goods

transported internationally.

The Union Customs Code

The new European Union Custom Code (UCC) has been designed

to streamline customs legislation globally, and, upon implementation,

will provide a unified process for over 80% of countries.

UCC has been devised with three main objectives in mind:

• The facilitation of safe and legitimate trade

• A paperless environment for customs and global trade

• The harmonisation, standardisation and simplification

of customs procedures and controls

Replacing existing customs codes, there will be significant changes

with regards to duties payable under the new UCC, specifically with

regards to royalties and licence fees. Current customs legislations

allow duties to be paid against such items under the first sale for

export valuation. However, under the new UCC regulations, this will

be abolished and duties will be payable against the transaction value

based on the sale. In other words, the value of the goods when sold

by the retailer to the end consumer, as opposed to the value when

imported from the manufacturer.

For all companies trading globally, the biggest effect of the new UCC

will be the apparent necessity for them to trade with Authorised

Economic Operator (AEO) status.

What is AEO?

AEO (Authorised Economic Operator) is an internationally

recognised accreditation issued by customs. Holders of the AEO

status are deemed to meet supply chain security standards and are

privy to access certain simplified customs procedures.

What effect will the new UCC regulations have

on companies that are not AEO approved?

Within the current customs system, AEO has been beneficial to

those companies who have held the status, in getting faster customs

clearance. Whilst the requirement for a company to hold the

Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) certification will still not

be mandatory, the impact upon companies not operating under the

status could cause significant issues within their supply chains.

Under the revised AEO status, companies without accreditation will

require large financial commitments to cover the hefty mandatory

guarantees that will be applied for both actual and potential

Customs import duties that could be accrued through their trade

processes. In short, importers and exporters using, or intending to

use simplified customs procedures such as inward processing relief,

customs warehousing, temporary storage, temporary admission or

community transit will have to fulfil AEO criteria

It is expected that companies that are not AEO accredited after 1

May 2016 may also face potentially lengthy delays in gaining clearance

on items entering the UK, as additional, more rigorous checks are set

to be implemented at border control; delays that could subsequently

lead to an increase in rent at ports along with increased costs for

clearance of goods.

Uptake for AEO status has been slower in UK than other countries

but with new regulations, and as AEO becomes more widely spread,

more companies are insisting their suppliers are AEO accredited.

NEW CUSTOMS REGULATIONSVELTA TAKES US THROUGH IT

What is the Solution?

So whilst it’s apparent that trading without AEO will become

a very difficult proposition, the process for a business to

become AEO accredited can take time. Gathering of

evidence to support the application can be time consuming

and operationally can be impractical when already busy with

elements of the day to day running of the business.

What’s more, the criteria to meet the AEO status is set to

become more complex. An in-depth analysis of the company

business model will be required, with evidence of compliance

of all taxes for the business for the past 3 years.

The-new-Union-Customs-Code-and-A-E-O/d,News/

The main changes from May 1st

• Mandatory guarantees for most special procedures and

temporary storage – only applies to new authorisations

• The ability to make some movements under TS rather

than national transit or Electronic Transit System (ETS)

– formerly New Computerised Transit System (NCTS)

• The removal of the earlier sales provisions relating to

valuation – but there are some transitional arrangements

• All communications between customs authorities and

economic operators must be electronic

Procedures and reliefs changed from April 30th

• The €10 waiver of customs duty for free circulation

customs declarations - where customs duty is payable no

de-minimis exemption will apply - this doesn’t affect any

Community System of Duty Reliefs (CSDR) duty reliefs

• Goods being declared to Onward Supply Relief (OSR)

(customs procedure code 42 series) - can only be

entered using a full customs declaration or the Simplified

Declaration Procedure (SDP)

• The use of Information Sheets for Special Procedures (INF)

documents with an Entry in Declarant’s Records (EIDR)

• goods being declared to LVBI will only be entered using

an SDP authorisation

• Inward Processing Drawback (IP (D)) and Low Value

Bulking Imports (LVBI) authorisations will no longer be valid

and these authorisations can’t be used to import goods

regardless of any expiry dates shown on your authorisations

• Processing under Customs Control (PCC) authorisation

holders will be given an Inward Processing (IP)

authorisation number which must be used for new

importations after 30 April 2016

• type D customs warehousing authorisation holders will

be given a new authorisation number with a prefix of C

(for type D authorisation), or E (for a type E warehouse

with type D rules of assessment) - these must be used

for entries to customs warehouses after 1 May 2016, the

normal debt rules of assessment will apply

ASK THEEXPERTS

Manufacturers have become a lot more efficient in recent

years in an effort to reduce ‘emergency transport’ and

whilst this has had an impact on the time critical sector

there are a number of factors which make it just as important today

as ever. You can’t predict a production line failing, goods not meeting

quality standards or even just plain and simple human error. There

will always be a requirement for time critical transport and when

that happens it is important you have a trusted supplier that is

contactable 24/7.

'Time critical' can refer to any consignment that needs a little more

care and attention than moving via a typical delivery network. This

can include anything from automotive parts to stage lighting, even

football kit! These goods may be time sensitive, for example, if they

are necessary to keep a production line going which is common in

the automotive and aviation sectors. They may also be high value or

fragile goods which although not needed urgently will be shipped on

a time critical basis due to the high risk associated.

So what should you consider before shipping time critical goods?

One particularly tricky shipment took quick thinking and a lot of

co-ordination to pull off. We received a call on a Friday evening

at the end of the month informing us that an oil rig was on fire

in the North Sea. We had to collect certain parts from several

points in the UK to be delivered to Aberdeen immediately. After

evaluating the cargo (some of which was hazardous and over 11

metres long) we put forward a collection schedule to the client.

Thankfully the parts arrived on time and the fire was extinguished.

• Assess the cargo: look at the weight and sizes and think

about how the cargo is loaded and unloaded. Are the

goods hazardous or temperature controlled? From this

you can determine the size and type of vehicle needed.

If the shipment is small enough you may even consider

sending via an ‘on-board courier’.

• Transit time: look at when the goods are needed, whether

it’s delivering out of hours and decide whether you will need

one driver or two to make the transit time.

• The product: are the goods packed correctly? Have you

factored in additional insurance for high value goods?

• The cost: can the cost be reduced by dispatching earlier?

Can you co-load? Is there anything to return?

• What is the cost if we don’t deliver?: this is often

overlooked but by trying to save a small amount of money

you can easily run the risk of losing a lot more.


Effective freight transport has always relied on establishing

and managing so called ‘trust networks’. Modern logistics

operations however need to build and maintain these

collaborative networks faster, larger and more effectively than ever

before – by several orders of magnitude, in fact. Developed originally for

its market-leading Haulage Exchange and Courier Exchange networks,

the Transport Exchange Group (TEG) is launching, at MultiModal 2016,

its ‘FreightVision’ service to better deliver end-to-end visibility and

control of freight movements whatever the choice of carrier.

The concept of trust networks for transport goes back centuries

to some of the very earliest organised trade bodies. Recruitment

to and membership of these networks often took years and was

based on interpersonal relationships, personal recommendations and

shared values. The modern globalised, highly competitive and shifting

transport marketplace, however, makes the task of establishing and

supporting these essential networks highly challenging, to say the least.

Despite the difficulties attached to the task, these networks are

more important than ever. They are needed to allow businesses

rapid access to trusted pools of capacity and work in response to

near constantly fluctuating market conditions. In 2016, however, a

trust network needs to be capable of being accessed on demand to

exploit new opportunities and fight off competitors.

TEG has successfully built and managed two of the largest such networks

in European road transport sector with its Haulage Exchange and Courier

Exchange. Today, many thousands of businesses rely on them to source

and fulfil well over 100m loaded kilometres each year. Doing this safely,

securely and on a massive scale has required the development of key new

technologies like TEG’s Smart Context and Location Engine (S.C.A.L.E.),

the new FreightVision service, and an active member quality system based

on over a million items (and counting) of member feedback.

FreightVision blends real-time location, member and load data to give

an accurate and controllable picture of individual freight movements

that is independent of the carrier chosen, the telematics/tracking

technology they use or the need for expensive system integration

work. This end-to-end visibility is then presented in a simple, secure,

user-friendly control panel accessible via mobile device or browser,

wherever and whenever it is needed.

The modern trust network is, and must be, accessed instantly. It

fully supports public, private and hybrid networks and provides its

members, in real time, with the visibility and tools they need to build

and maintain effective and profitable relationships fast but safely.

ASK THEEXPERTS

Export Packing is a vital part of importing or exporting goods.

Without it, a very small percentage of goods would make it

to their destination intact. Whilst in transit your cargo will

encounter many hazards, even during the shortest of journeys. Export

Packing requires knowledge of how goods are transported, and an

understanding of what dangers are present in order to protect them.

The risk of damage is higher during International transportation as

your goods will be handled multiple times. If inadequately packed

the risk of damage is dramatically increased; which will impact your

company’s reputation and can be costly in terms of the remedial

action required in order to pacify your customer.

How to reduce risk

The packing required for shipment greatly depends on the kind of

product, the mode of transportation and the facilities at the loading

and receiving points. For example shipments by sea would typically

require extensive packing and moisture protection due to the longer

transit time and the fact they are usually handled multiple times;

more than with other modes of transportation. Air freight would

require lightweight packaging whilst still being able to offer excellent

protection. Safety regulations and specific requirements of individual

clients and countries also have to be considered and adhered to.

Export packing requires specialist knowledge

Each and every customer and consignment has a unique requirement

which warrants a unique solution. An export packer should consider

all aspects of your shipment from design to completion.

Environment

Export packers should be committed to operating in a responsible

and sustainable manner by observing the principle to reduce, re-use

and re-cycle. Where appropriate, all materials should be obtained

from renewable sources.

Air-Seal Products’ range of tyre sealants can prevent up to

95% of all punctures up to 30 mm and stop all rim, bead and

slow air leaks.

Our products work using mechanical action and don’t rely

on glues or other harmful additives to function which means

the casing is re-treadable at the end of its 1st life. Our

sealants are now fully proven to be an integral part of all

good tyre management programmes by providing a major

contribution to tyre longevity and increased profitability.

Operational efficiency is improved by reducing costly

downtime for idle machines and labour. A single treatment

can cost less than the full cost of one tyre repair and lasts

the legal life of the tyre.

Air-Seal Products are recommended by a world leading fuel

expert and are also the sole supplier to The Royal Mail.

M&A Mergers&Acquisitions





MULTIMODALFOCUS

Having successfully exhibited at the Multimodal for the last

five years, Pentalver decided to have a brainstorming session

to consider how we could make the show even better for

them. They wanted something that stands out, is perfect for meeting

and greeting customers and also shows off their expertise. The answer

was obvious: a pub made from shipping containers!

The three shipping containers for the Pen-Tavern, as with any

other container they supply, were ordered directly from a

container production factory in China. Once the containers were

manufactured they were loaded with export cargo and sent on

their way to the UK. The containers arrived at the UK port, were

customs cleared and then delivered to their unloading point. After

unloading, the empty containers were delivered to Pentalver depot

in Southampton, ready for the transformation.

The Pentalver design team members put their heads together to

visualise the look of The Pen-Tavern. After coming up with a CAD

impression of the final layout, the work started. The containers

were moved to their fully covered workshops and underwent a total

transformation. Side walls were removed, frames were fabricated and

attached, apertures cut, lining and sealing added. The blank canvas

for The Pen-Tavern was ready. Next, the cladding was fabricated

and with the help of local set design company Spacial Installations the

fixtures and fittings began taking shape. The Pen-Tavern was born.

The process had to be reversed to dismantle The Pen-Tavern for

transportation to the NEC. The containers were loaded onto Hiab

vehicles and started their journey up to Birmingham. On arrival

at the NEC, the vehicles entered the show hall and proceeded to

position the containers with their on-board cranes into the correct

layout. All the cladding that had been removed for transit was then

re-attached, the electric supply was connected, the tables and chairs

laid out and, most importantly, the beer and wine was supplied.

The Pen-Tavern was a great success and welcomed over 1,000

visitors at Multimodal 2015.

The company has undergone a meteoric rise under your stewardship, has it all been plain sailing?

Far from it! I purchased Maritime at the start of September

2001 full of hope and optimism, one week later the dramatic

events of 9/11 unfolded in front of our eyes and we were

on the brink of chaos. If you remember no one knew what

would unfold in those ensuing days and weeks – it was an

unprecedented tragedy that left the world guessing.

There I was at 43 with two children still in school and

my house used as collateral for the purchase. I had risked

everything and at that moment the world felt a very lonely

place. Through luck rather than judgement things worked

out and we saw a boom in shipping volumes between China

and the West. Retailers were importing in huge volumes and

the ports were overwhelmed with containers. The market

needed another operator with a dynamic management team

to react to the pick up and we were there to capitalize. It

turned into a fantastic start.

For the fi rst seven years the volumes continued; year-on-

year growth in fact. We called it the ‘China factor.’ It really

was a great period for the business and we focused on

operational excellence for our customers, not really seeing

an end in sight to the growth. In fact no one did but then

the recession struck.

With the demand from customers unrelenting we were so

busy focusing on the operations over this period that we

didn’t have the time to spend the reserves we were building.

Eventually we decided to own our trucks and to buy land

where we could, and have created a very strong company

from there.

MOVE ITLIKE...

JOHNSAYS...

Promotion from

within is something that

we pride ourselves on

at Maritime.

Q

A

How did you handle the recession?

No one forecasted the recession, but the shipping

industry was one of the most signifi cant casualties. They

had continued to place orders for new vessels which were

coming on stream just as volumes had fallen off the cliff edge

which led to over-capacity in the market. Ships had to be

laid up at signifi cant costs each day and everyone suff ered

the consequences.

We thankfully rode the downturn more successfully than

most. We entered the recession owning all our trucks

and operating as a cash positive entity. We were in a great

position to capitalise on a weak market and we used our

funds to invest further into the company strengthening

our property portfolio and assets. It wasn’t an easy trading

period for anyone but our strategy left us better placed than

most going into and coming out of the downturn.

Is this what enticed you to break into distribution?

The recession was a stark reminder that our business

model was heavily reliant on the shipping lines whose volumes

have never returned to the days pre-2007. As a board we

identifi ed that the retail sector had not suff ered to the same

extent and that we needed to diversify into this area.

We branched out rather quickly; it’s complementary to

what we’re currently doing and it’s fi tting very nicely. We

mentioned the monumental growth of Maritime during the

‘boom’ period when I took over the business, but the growth

of distribution has far outstripped that.

We started with 100 second-hand trailers but we saw an

opportunity and since then we’ve been pleasantly surprised. In

the fi ve years since, we’ve turned over more than £50 million

and have projected growth of 30% for 2016. We’ve learnt a

huge amount by taking full advantage of the opportunity and

so far our services have been really well received by all of

our customers.

What sets Maritime Transport apart?

Our staff are exceptionally passionate about the

business. Those who contribute to our success, share

in our success. Seeing the company do well really

motivates them, and when they see that we reinvest

virtually all of our profi ts back in to the business it

really gives them a sense of purpose.

Is there much opportunity for staff development?

Promotion from within is something that we pride

ourselves on at Maritime. We prefer to promote and

hire internally than to reach out. We put a lot into

our staff development and we’re always looking to

help those who show aptitude to climb the ladder.

The vast majority of our management team have

worked their way up through the business and it is

their example which gives our less experienced staff

the passion to put their all into the business.

Can you describe what sort of company culture you’re operating?

We have our own company culture; we treat each

other how we’d like to be treated. We’ve invested

in superior facilities and we’re setting the highest

standards in the industry.

We compile a company newsletter that goes out every

month to inform the staff of any changes and it’s also

a chance to write up a little tongue-in-cheek humour.

It’s something that people look forward receiving and

it’s a chance for them to interact with us.

Are you aiming to expand at all?

We don’t have any plans to move overseas as of yet,

however it’s not something we won’t consider in the future.

For now we’re going to stay UK-based.

We operate over 30 diff erent sites made up of warehouses,

railports, transport depots and offi ces. We’re currently

looking at a few more to take on in the next year, so

domestically yes, we are always looking at ways to grow.

Your brand is one of the strongest on the road, how do you go about keeping it that way?

We think image is hugely important, the best thing for

our customers is to see our beautifully clean trucks driven

by a smart driver. We therefore issue Maritime uniform to

our drivers on day one and our trucks are washed at least

once a week. Purchasing high-spec. trucks is also a policy

of ours – if our drivers have trucks to be proud of they will

naturally care for them more.

The environment is constantly on the agenda in the industry, what do you do as a business to reduce your emissions?

All of our fl eet are LEZ Euro 5 or Euro 6 compliant making

our fl eet one of the cleanest in the industry. We spend a

great deal of time and eff ort researching the most economical

trucks and then train our drivers to ensure they drive in the

most fuel effi cient manner. Our entire fl eet is fi tted with

telematics which analyse driving style focusing on safe, effi cient

driving. Our drivers are then paid an annual bonus based on

their driving performance.

In addition we have ventured into rail through our two

railports in Tilbury and the Midlands. Our Midlands

terminal now services rail paths from the three major UK

ports. Rail takes thousands of truck moves from the road

annually reducing congestion on our transport network as

well as saving CO2.

We also pride ourselves in our operational effi ciencies with

a key KPI for the business being the reduction of unladen and

therefore unpaid road miles.

What’s the most important thing you’re working on right now?

Network development – we are looking to invest

signifi cantly in expanding our network to ensure we can fully

support our customers’ growth.

The future is about capability. You want to be able to say yes

to a customer, take on a new contract, open up in a certain

area and never stop investing.

What’s been your biggest challenge to date?

Running a company of this size, and one that is only going to

get bigger presents its own challenges. The focus needs to be

maintaining our standards whilst growing at the rate we are.

Are you involved with any charitable causes?

We support a number of national charities but also always

support any initiatives our staff undertakes for a personal

cause. We always intend to give them a great kick-start to

their fundraising.

Over the last couple of years we have committed to the

British Legion’s Poppy Appeal, adorning our entire fl eet with

lorry poppies. We employ a signifi cant number of ex-service

personnel and have signed the Corporate Covenant – these

causes are very worthwhile and extremely important to

our staff .

What’s the 5-year plan for Maritime?

To continue on the trajectory that we’re on, showing

customers our style of transport. We’re aiming to keep this

high-quality, 24/7 service going.

Advice to those who are looking to work their way up?

You have to be prepared to work incredibly hard, there’s

no avoiding the long hours. This is a rewarding industry and

you can’t go in to it halfhearted. People in this industry can

tend to focus on all the things that are diffi cult and I think

it’s important to promote the positives.

REGIONALFOCUS

The USA is the land of opportunity

and this is certainly the case

in the logistics sector.

Due to historical and cultural links the USA and the United Kingdom

have always been major trading partners, which creates opportunities

aplenty in the freight and logistics sector. However, despite sharing

a language, it can be a market which is both complex and entirely

different from other markets across the globe. For example, much

of the business is bought and sold on a door to door basis. When

managing the supply chain not only is the forwarder concerned with

the end to end movement, but also all parties who operate alongside.

It could be said that the service to and from the US is a truck service

but with an ocean in the middle. As a result of this any companies

operating in the market must have a fluent and integrated network

with the ability to handle all multimodal movements. It would be

stating the obvious to suggest that the US is a large country, but in a

logistics context this in itself can be challenging. There is a multitude

of different ports, each with their own customs and regulations

so when moving freight to inland destinations having the right

representation and knowledge can be a real advantage.

Another factor to consider when shipping to the US is selecting the

correct entry point as this can have a direct impact on cost savings

and supply chain efficiencies. In 2015, there was a shut-down at

Long Beach port on the west coast which led to severe congestion.

This had a huge impact on importers, especially for the transpacific

trade from Asia who use this port as the main entry point into the

US. Many decided to switch service to New York on the East Coast

incurring longer transits and rail cargo across country. This came at

an additional cost but in overall terms led to a more reliable service

as a result. Recently, the situation at Long Beach has improved,

opening up to importers once more.

Customs pre-filing dictates that entities responsible for shipping

cargo into the USA must declare and file all movements with US

customs before shipment. This is mandatory and any inaccurate or

incomplete documents can incur large penalties. Therefore it is vital

that forwarders and carriers are able to advise their clients in order

to navigate these factors.

SHIPPING TO USA ...THINGS TO CONSIDER



The Trans-Atlantic Free Trade Agreement

currently under negotiation between the US and

the European Union will reduce and eliminate

duties and tariffs between the regions and is

forecast to boost trade. This will have a knock-

on effect for the logistics sector, those companies

with integrated networks, market knowledge and

experience in the US sector stand to prosper.

Ian McCarthy, Director, ECU Worldwide

TRADE BETWEEN U.K. AND U.S.In 2012, UK trade in goods and services to the US was £135

billion, up 3.6% from the year before. Around 17% of all

British exports went to the US in 2012. The US and the UK

are each other’s largest foreign investors. This investment

supports approximately one million jobs in each country. The

TTIP could add as much as £10 billion annually to the UK

economy in the long term. It could also add £100 billion for

the EU and £80 billion for the US.

Top 10 UK exports to the US*:

• Machinery and transport equipment

• Chemicals and related products

• Mineral fuels, lubricants and related materials

• Miscellaneous manufactured goods

• Commodities

• Manufactured goods

• Beverages and tobacco

• Food and live animals

• Crude materials

• Animal and vegetable oils, fats and waxes

Acquisitions

M&A for the global freight industry

+44 (0)1454 628772www.headfordgroup.com

We are seeing trade routes becoming more competitive

and freight rates falling, and it is fair to say businesses

are losing an element of their bargaining power with

the shipping lines which is having a considerable impact on their

profits. A very successful strategy currently being implemented by

forwarders is to earmark any retained profits to make acquisitions

in order to facilitate growth within primary trade routes and also

emerging locations that could help compliment the current business,

or alternatively diversify into new areas.

Organisations are understanding that in order to grow and be

consistently profitable they have to analyse their customers’ needs with

advanced logistics solutions. This requires a better IT infrastructure to

improve internal efficiency and to generate a clear understanding of

what their customers, industries and businesses really desire.

A forwarder's success requires a combination of factors, key

market share within profitable trade lanes, strategic growth in

emerging markets and operational competency when providing their

customers with information on their products.

Since 2008 many of us see volatility as the new norm. For business

owners this can often bring exciting but increasingly difficult challenges,

none more so than assessing the price to be paid for an acquisition.

A new EU Regulation published on 19 March 2016 has

clarified the degrees of seriousness of infringements which

may lead to loss of repute for an operator. It also sets

out how an accumulation of minor infringements can automatically

trigger a Traffic Commissioner’s reassessment of good repute

(required by section 13 (3) (a) of the Goods Vehicles (Licensing of

Operators) Act 1995 for all those holding operators’ licenses).

In determining good repute the Traffic Commissioner will be looking

at any relevant convictions and any other information that could

affect an operator’s fitness to hold a license. The new EU Regulation

will categorise infringements into most serious, very serious, serious

and minor. An operator can be deemed to fail to meet the standard

of good repute and have his license revoked, suspended or curtailed.

NEW LEAGUE TABLE OFEU INFRINGEMENTS

FORWARD LAWWITH

VERY SERIOUS

• Tachograph improperly used

• Insufficient rest periods

• Exceeding maximum working week

• Exceeding weight limits between 15% and 25%

• Exceeding weekly driving time by 25% or more

• Not having a tachograph fitted or falsifying the data produced

• Exceeding weight limits by 25% or more

• Not keeping the vehicle in a safe and roadworthy condition

• Not having a speed limitation device fitted

• Transporting dangerous goods

• Carrying goods or people without a valid licence

The league table of

infringements includes...


SERIOUS

• Not respecting the minimum age for conductors

• Exceeding weekly driving time by up to 5 hours

• Exceeding weight limits by 5% up to 20%

• Exceeding the permitted maximum length of

a vehicle by up to 20%

• Vehicle speed limitation device not fitted by an

approved workshop

An investigation into good repute is triggered

if an operator or transport manager commits

• A single most serious infringement or

• 3 very serious infringements

MINOR

• Exceeding daily driving time by less than 1 hour

• Exceeding weekly driving time by up to 4 hours

• Failing to take minimum required daily rest by up to 1hr.

An accumulation of 3 serious offences (for example exceeding weekly

driving time by up to 5 hours) per driver per year will equate to one

very serious infringement. The calculation uses the total number of

offences divided by the total number of drivers to determine the

'per driver per year' average for an operator.

The Traffic Commissioner’s investigation will aim to reassess whether

the operator or transport manager is of good repute which may lead

to sanctions against either or both of them, including revocation of

their licence.

Operators will wish to take note of the new league table and review

compliance. They may also wish to make sure their employment contracts

and policies clearly point out these forms of transgression as misconduct

or gross misconduct.

As one of the leading independently owned UK Freight and Logistics organisations Horizon

International Cargo has the knowledge and experience to ensure clients benefit from competitive and

reliable services. With 12 offices in the USA and Europe Horizon has both the infrastructure, industry

knowledge, systems and expertise to deliver trans-Atlantic and global supply chain requirements.

We operate weekly air and ocean consolidations as well as a variety of FCL services. To support

ever growing and complex supply chain requirements we provide an array of Logistics services. These

include pallet storage, pick and pack, inventory management, re-working, e-commerce as well as a

number of other value added services. Global and local visibility is facilitated through hiCloud. hiCloud

has a range of modules to provide visibility across a wide scope of services. Either in isolation or by

connecting these modules customers benefit from reliable, safe, fast and seamless end to end visibility.

Like everyone, we are always coming up against new regulations, new processes and new requirements

for the US but we have learnt that most of these changes are not nearly as difficult to overcome as

they may at first seem. In fact, we have known people to be put off trading with the US altogether

because it has become ‘too much’, but here at Unity Logistics we like to try and keep things as simple

as possible. We definitely do not know everything, but around 5% of the shipments we arrange travel

either to or from the USA and, despite receiving some utterly bizarre requests, we always manage

to come out the other side. Something worth noting for the US is that we have found air freight to

be cheaper than sea freight in some cases and so now regularly cross reference these for smaller

consignments at the quoting stage.

Samskip Logistics is proud to announce the next step in its ambitious plans. With a presence on the

US market since 1994, Samskip Logistics has taken the next step by opening a new US head office in

New York under the management of Mr. Paul Dean. For over two decades, the company has operated

two offices in Norfolk, VA and in Seattle, WA. Samskip Logistics now plans to open more offices in

the United States. All US-based staff will continue to perform an extended range of dry and reefer

forwarding activities such as full (FCL) and less than (LCL) container loads, airfreight and warehousing.

'With over two decades of local expertise and a clear understanding of customer needs, the new

office is the next step in strengthening Samskip Logistics's presence in the forwarding industry and

further enhancing efficiencies.' Mr. Ásbjörn Gíslason, CEO Samskip Logistics

THE LAST WORD...

NEXTMONTH

What an exciting month for FORWARDER magazine!

We are now fully up and running with a dedicated

team and an ever-expanding readership. It has been

an absolute pleasure compiling content and speaking to you about

your latest news and updates, there is always so much to talk about!

Next month sees us look in depth at Brexit and the wider implications

of an independent Britain. Leave or Remain? We’ll be asking a range

of industry professionals their views. Our Regional Focus for the

month of May looks at China and Scandinavia and our cover star is

Kevin Brady of Woodland Global. We also have a round-up of all

the best bits of Multimodal – you may even feature!

If you would like to contribute to FORWARDER then we’d love

to hear from you.
