Growing confidence as market ‘stabilises’By Alan Peat

The general consensus in the SA forwarding industry is that the tough times are easing.

Although both volumes and margins are still under threat, executives in the industry suggest that the signs are there that indicate that the SA market is levelling off after the disastrous slump in the early part of the year.

This follows European press reports that forwarders and

wholesalers over there have also seen a firming of certain markets over the past two months. Some, indeed, were even quoted saying that they were experiencing their best weeks of 2009.

FTW’s research didn’t find anyone talking in such superlatives, but confidence is growing that the worst times are past.

Charles Speed-Andrews, finance director of Safcor Panalpina, told FTW that he was not seeing growth as yet. “But

from my perspective, the market has certainly bottomed out, and things are currently stabilising.

“Volumes are nowhere near where they were, but they are at least proving consistent.”

He also expected the usual annual pre-Christmas rush in the fourth quarter of the year.

“If it began to happen this quarter, that would be nice.”

Speed-Andrews is certainly putting his money on an upturn in the fourth quarter, but asks the forbidding question: “What

happens in January?”

It’s the natural downturn period of the SA year. “But,” he asked, “just how far down will it go next year?”

He doesn’t claim to be one of the optimistic breed. “However,” he said, “while it’ll definitely go down, I think it will be better than January this year – for sure!”

Andre van Rensburg, MD of Kuehne & Nagel, suggested that any assessment of conditions

depended very much on individual market performance.

A weekLY summary of the main changes to the South African tariff dispensation and amendments to customs and

excise legislation. Compiled by Tariff & Trade Intelligence. e-mail: [email protected]

wCO Recommended Changes to the HS Code in 2012The World Customs Organisation (WCO) has released its 57-page document “Recommendation of the Customs Co-Operation Council (CCC) Concerning the Amendment of the Harmonised Commodity Description and Coding System”.

The WCO Council adopted the Recommendation at its annual sessions in June 2009 and the Recommendation is now being promulgated. This means that Harmonised System Contracting Parties have six months to object to a recommended amendment.

Mandatory electronic DeclarationsIn a letter dated 28 July 2008 the South African Revenue Service (Sars) announced the “Mandatory Electronic Submission of Declarations”. Due to its importance, the letter’s contents are reproduced.

“1. Background – In the 2006 Budget it was announced that the Customs and Excise Act would be amended, inter alia, as follows: “Large clearing and

forwarding houses, importers, carriers and other supply chain participants will be required to communicate electronically with Sars to facilitate risk management, reduce error rates and speed up processing.”

As a result appropriate Rules were drafted requiring the mandatory electronic communication of: (i) vessel and aircraft schedule reports; (ii) vessel and aircraft arrival reports; (iii) manifests of cargo in respect of cargo carried to the Republic by ship, aircraft and train; (iv) outturn reports in respect of goods arriving in or unpacked at temporary storage facilities; and (v) goods declarations (i.e. bills of entry) submitted by accredited persons or non-accredited persons who submit in excess of 20 declarations a month to Sars.

2. Discussion – The requirement of mandatory electronic communication is a vital component of the Sars modernisation programme and is required in order to allow Sars automated systems to: (i) implement an automated risk profiling solution in respect of cargo reports and goods

declarations received from importers, exporters, clearing agents, carriers and other supply chain participants for the purpose of performing timely and accurate risk assessments of such documents; (ii) function to their full design potential without the need to first convert paper reports or declarations to an electronic format (e.g. through data capturing); (iii) reduce error rates in data received (or converted) and to enforce standardisation of all data in accordance with the appropriate international standards and norms; and (iv) render an improved service to clients relating to turnaround times and predictability of Sars service delivery levels.

The draft Rules relating to mandatory electronic communication were circulated for both internal and external comment on 6 July 2009 with a final date for submission of comments on 17 July 2009.

Comments were received from internal as well as external clients.

3. Way forward – The rules will be published with effect

from 1 August 2009. Please note that any applications for extension of time should be submitted to the branch office which will forward it, together with their recommendation, to this office.Any queries and correspondence relating to this matter should be addressed to [email protected].”

Saf to move out of Asia- US tradeNo impact for SA shippers

‘Support measures won’t be a cash hand-out’

While the shipping line Safmarine intends to remain active in the transpacific trade (Asia-US) until the 2010 contract negotiating season, it intends to shut up shop on this service from that date.

It has explored all possibilities, said the line spokesman, and reached what it described as “this difficult decision”, based on present and future market conditions in the trade.

“It is a consequence

of the very low market rates that are prevalent,” the line added, “which makes profitable market participation very difficult in the long-term.”

But this is expected to have no direct relevance for

SA shippers, according to Safmarine’s SA PR, Debbie Owen.

“There should be no connection to SA unless an SA shipper was moving cargo ex Asia to the US,” she told FTW.

Bail-out package gets high-level backing

By Alan Peat

Although no detail has yet been released by minister of trade and industry, Rob Davies, the proposed bail-out package programme has received high-level support.

In a public speech, President Jacob Zuma came out in strong support of a government-backed

scheme, with the prevention of job lay-offs just one possible motivation behind his thinking, and others including stabilising industry conditions and discouraging de-industrialisation (foreign companies withdrawing).

And, said Nico Vermeulen, director of the National Association of

Automobile Manufacturers of SA (Naamsa) – one of the recession-stricken industry sectors which is keenly looking for support – Zuma also reinforced the need for some urgency in finalising the support measures.

“He added that a further announcement was due from Davies in the next few

days,” he told FTW.Vermeulen also spoke out

against a commonly held misapprehension, stressing that the support measures were not expected to be a cash hand-out to individual, ailing companies. “This may have happened in Europe and the US – but it certainly won’t be the case here.”

Case of missing port manager continuesThe frustrating “case of the missing PE port manager” continues, with sounds of silence still emanating from Transnet head office.

This followed a story in the Port Elizabeth press that port manager Ester Goosen had been suspended from duty – and that a port authority investigation into mismanagement was under way.

But major efforts by FTW failed to come up with any constructive official comment.

This has continued, over two months after the event.

FTW interviewed acting port manager, current port captain Neil Chetty, who said: “As far as I know, the investigation is still under way. I think there’s a hearing next week (this week for readers).

Questioned on possible plans to appoint a new full-time port manager, Chetty added: “Only once this is finished will we know the way forward.”

Stronger Far East volumes point to firmer ratesBy Alan Peat

Indications are that it won’t be too happy a Christmas for the shipping line fraternity, with no signs of the expected pre-Christmas rush for seafreight imports yet on the horizon.

It’s not a time for Christmas cheer, according to shipowners, but rather a fight for survival in a market place that is only just showing signs of a stabilisation in volumes – but no significant sort of an upturn yet.

Ships are getting fuller (although most of the lines, or groups of lines, have rationalised services and reduced fleet numbers and/or capacity) and the lines are sure enough to be aiming at both rate restoration and peak season surcharges – at least on the Far East-SA trade.

Casting a weather eye on things, David Williams, MD of Maersk Line in SA, sees a possible sunny spell ahead, but feels it’s still a bit cloudy as far as volumes are concerned.

“Reverting as usual to the Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) stats,” he said, “we’ve seen little positive development up to the month of June.

“All the SA ports were handling a total of about 75 000 TEUs in the first part of the year, and this had reached about

the 80 000 mark by April/May.”And the skies certainly seem

to be clearing now, with his ships sailing a lot fuller from the Far East.

“It’s sign that things are getting better,” he said – noting that some lines on this Far East trade were looking at imposing both freight rate restoration increases and peak season surcharges.

“I still see a further firming of volumes in the second half of the year.”

Much the same sentiments were expressed by another line executive on the Far East run.

Indeed, he was even more enthusiastic about what is now happening. “Right now,” he told FTW, “we just don’t have sufficient capacity, and we’re rolling over cargoes from vessel to vessel” – although acknowledging at the same time that his line has already rationalised its services.

He also confirmed that things had firmed enough for his line to be looking at a rate restoration on September 1, and a peak season surcharge from August 15.

“However,” he added, “I can’t say there’s pre-Christmas growth, as our figures (taking into account the capacity cuts) are no indication that the volumes have picked up. But, if the figures are even levelling

off, we’d be delighted.”Alex de Bruyn, SA trades

executive (responsible for all trades) for Safmarine, is not shouting about a pre-Christmas rush, but is relatively optimistic about the second half of the year.

“Container growth into/out of SA has been negative in the first half of 2009 compared to 2008 across all trade routes in line with global economic trends,” he said.

“The trend has, however, stabilised during the second quarter 2009 across all trades into/out of SA.”

He also confirmed the influence of lines’ capacity-

cutting exercise.“There has also be en a

reduction of tonnage/container capacity on all the major trade routes,” De Bruyn added. “This has resulted in improved supply/demand ratios in general across all trade routes going into the second semester of 2009.

“Should import and export flows continue to pick up (as they appear to be) then we may expect a shortage of capacity (container and/or deadweight) on, but not limited to, the Middle East and Far East trade routes for the rest of the year.”

Brian Naidoo, regional marketing manager for MSC,

declared himself a “bit middle of the road” as far as expectations went.

“There has certainly been a slight resurgence in volumes from the Far East trade, our Christmas season trade” he said, “and freight rates are probably getting to a stage where restoration can be considered.”

But he couldn’t say there was any pre-Christmas rush. “The market, however, is showing a more established tonnage and volumes are stabilising.

“That’s all putting a bit of a sparkle in lines’ eyes, and we’re slowly, slowly reaching volumes of normality.”

Fuel theft claims ‘severely exaggerated’The FTW source quoted in the article “Taboo fuel theft issue costs operators millions” (FTW July 31, 2009) must be surrounded by criminals if his figures are correct, according to Kevin Martin, MD of Freightliner Transport and vice-chairman of the SA Association of Freight Forwarders (Saaff) division, the Durban harbour

carriers’ association.In the article the transport

operator told us that a company operating a fleet of 100 trucks was losing an average of R1-million a month due to fuel theft.

And, he added: “You should be costing a minimum of 50-litres per truck per trip. The black market for diesel is an

industry of millions of rands. And sadly there is very little you can do to stop it. So most operators just ensure the loss is made up in rates and pricing.”

But Martin, while not wanting to minimise a very real problem for road transport operators, expressed himself “highly amused” at our trucking source’s quote, questioning whether the

trucker had done his numbers and made his assumptions correctly.

“A company that employs at least 100 thieves as drivers i.e. the entire workforce, all stealing over 10% of each truck’s fuel per month – valued at R10 000-per-truck-per-month?

“No sir – you are looking in the wrong place. To steal

that much diesel takes real management skills – look to your fuel control clerks and managers as the more likely culprits.”

Martin also told FTW that he found it impossible to believe that over 100 drivers in any one company could be pocketing that sort of stolen cash each month without somebody talking.

Technical obstacle stalls commissioning of new CT cranesSix month delay related to strength of the seawall

By Ray Smuts

A dip in containership calls at Cape Town may well turn out to be a ‘blessing in disguise’, given the technical gremlins that have considerably delayed commissioning of the first super post-panamax ship to shore gantry cranes.

The first pair of R60 million apiece twin-lift cranes dominating the Mother City port skyline have been ready to roll for a while but a considerable hurdle has first to be overcome.

Cape Town Container Terminal business unit executive, Oscar Borchards, tells FTW the six-month delay is ascribed to problems at Berth 601, related to ‘strength of the seawall which required anchoring”.

Fortunately, he says, the problem was detected at an early stage as it will involve similar work at the other three berths (602, 603 and 604) in the process of rejuvenation.

CTCT offers four main berths, so advancing to the next phase until the initial problem has been sorted would make no sense.

The global economic downturn accounts for a 7% decrease in Cape

Town’s containership traffic but the first four Liebherr twin lift cranes will nevertherless be operational by August 16.

These are designed for new-generation vessels capable of accommodating 22 or more boxes across their width.

“Once Berth 601 has been handed over, we will start with the next set of cranes (numbers five and six) at Berth 602, to be completed around mid-February 2010, thereafter a further two to take us through to 2012, which will increase the terminal’s capacity to 2.1 million teus.”

Dredging to deepen Berth 601 to 15.5 metres was completed recently, the remaining three to follow. Shippers can therefore expect a degree of further inconvenience over the next three years, given that the R4.2 billion project is being tackled piecemeal.

The existing four Demag cranes are about as old as containerisation in South Africa, some 30 years, and will be dismantled and sold for scrap.

With the introduction of rubber-tyre gantries (RTGs) at CTCT, four existing straddle carriers will be moved over to the port’s multi-purpose terminal and 12 to Durban Container Terminal.

Latest port stats a mixed bagThe latest port stats by Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) reveal serious drops in breakbulk and container traffic, but bulk still holding its own.

Total bulk handled in July this year totalled 15 145 462-tonnes, a 10.6% increase on the 13 691 147-t last July. Breakbulk, however, fell by 27.46% – from 1 190 149-t in

July 2008 to 863 720-t this July. Container numbers (measured in

Expect long-term change in trade patterns Growing consumer demand within China coupled with a worldwide decline in the West’s ability to consume Chinese-made goods, may herald long-term changes in the pattern of world trade.

Rail in the spotlight at MCLI aGMBy Joy Orlek

Maputo Corridor Logistics Initiative chairman Dr Mathews Phosa used last week’s fifth annual general meeting in Maputo to call for a revision of rail pricing policies on the corridor.

“We cannot be competitive and efficient while the current status quo remains,” he told guests at the open day.

“In every deliberation on this corridor, rail is raised as an issue of contention,” he said.

Phosa also called for renewed commitment to improving border post efficiency.

“While we have seen incremental improvements in the border post operating hours and greater efficiency of clearing procedures, particularly at the Lebombo Border Dry Port where trucks can now report a 5-hour turnaround time, challenges still remain,” he said.

Rail was also one of the central themes raised by MCLI CEO Brenda Horne.

“The Department of Transport has established good platforms for engagement with the private sector and transport entities,” she said.

“It has agreed with the Shippers’ Council to work on a programme of action on how to shift cargo from road to rail.”

The draft programme of action will be tabled in the next two weeks for a broader consultative process.

A process of drafting the National Road Freight Strategy has also begun, she said.

“Its intention is to better manage the road freight industry and deal with the possible review of the axle mass limits, overload control and the weighbridge network.

“In essence the strategy will shift commodities not meant for road to rail.”

On predictions of recovery, he is not looking for any instant upsurge.

“The Bureau for Economic Research at Stellenbosch University doesn’t forecast any real upswing till at least the second quarter of next year,” he said, “and we agree.”

The answer in tight times, he added, is a strong focus on sales. “That’s been our strategy. Push up sales, and volumes will follow. Margins may still be low, but things are getting better as far as we’re concerned.”

Ron Kerbus, district manager of Expeditors, felt that they had never really lost their solid base during the recession.

“Some customers haven’t gone down that much, and some industries have actually seemed quite healthy,” he said.

“The automotive sector is definitely down, for example, but healthcare is holding up nicely. We’ve also got a good spread of customer interests, so it hasn’t been too bad for us.”

Kerbus also supported the sales attack strategy as a remedial measure in times of

recession. With others cutting costs to the bone, a focus on maintaining or increasing sales effort meets with good conditions for getting new business, he said.

Roland Raath, MD of Cargocare, also professes to the “think smarter” tactic in times of recession.

He felt he had every reason for a re-think. “Our figures showed that the economy and business were down about 23%. However, we came up with a happy solution.”

A system tool was designed to highlight inactive customers – giving another measure of market conditions.

And the latest figures, according to Raath, make for happier reading. “These show that quiet clients became much more active in June and July.

“You can add to that a space shortage, as ships from China sail full – although also taking into account that they’ve cut down capacity.

“Things are definitely stabilising, with figures showing a minimal upturn in July, and I have high hopes for August.”

Birthday shocker!was a textile garment of a type made locally, and had a value exceeding R400 – so it got hit for 40% duty.

“There was then customs VAT (value-added tax) of 14%,” Lorraine added, “plus VAT, coming to around R175, and then the courier service’s charge of R100 plus VAT.

“All these VATs plus VATs plus duty totalled R624.50. It’s an exorbitant amount.”

Exorbitant, possibly, said FTW customs specialist, Riaan de Lange of Tariff & Trade Intelligence, but inevitable.

“The tariff book determines the rate of duty, and the category of light goods such a soccer shirt falls into would fix the duty at 40% of the customs value of the import goods – usually the invoice price. No doubt about that.

“VAT’s equally inevitable – levied at 14% for all imports.

“It’s no new legislation. It’s all there in the book.”

SA Revenue Service (Sars) customs regrets Lorraine’s discontent, but, said Sars spokesman Adrian Lackay, its hands are tied in such a matter.

“As your customs expert said, it all goes by the book,” he told FTW, at the same time sending best wishes from customs to 21st birthday boy, Jayson.

“But certainly, customs considers all cases on their individual merit. And, if Lorraine can present a reasoned case to the commissioner, it would certainly be considered.”

Growing confidence

Damaged ore bulker awaits helpBy Ray Smuts

The damaged Chinese bulk carrier Long Charity remains at anchor off Saldanha, awaiting help of the non-benevolent kind by way of a costly alternative vessel to offload her iron ore cargo.

The 93 000 gross tonne vessel was holed on a reef after engine failure on leaving the port of Saldanha on July 23. The Women’s Day long weekend saw salvors, Svitzer, nearing completion of a South African Maritime Safety Authority mandate to remove the vessel’s 3 000 tons of fuel onto a product tanker, the Wappen Von Bremen, an operation interrupted by inclement weather.

Procuring a special side-crane-equipped vessel to accommodate the Long Charity’s cargo was proving more problematic. However, National Ports Authority port manager Eugene Kearns told FTW on Sunday evening (August 9) he was not aware of a solution to hand.

Fortunately the bay, one of South Africa’s most environmentally sensitive estuaries, remains free of any

oil spillage.Responding to comment

by noted shipping writer and maritime educator Brian Ingpen that serious ramifications could have resulted had the Long Charity sunk in the bay, Kearns said: “Of course, but that would apply to any port.”

Meanwhile, a veil of secrecy continues to surround reasons for the sinking of the bulk carrier Ioannis NK off the Cape West coast, more than 150 nautical miles off Cape Town (FTW July 31, 2009).

FTW understands the 32-year-old ship’s class certificates, which in part indicated its seaworthiness, were due to expire on August 16, while she would still have been at sea.

The vessel’s crew was stopped by court interdict as they attempted to leave Cape Town by air, confined to a Mother City hotel but remaining silent over the reason for the disaster. This was apparently on instruction from the ship’s owners who have also been unco-operative in assisting Samsa’s investigation into the sinking, which consigned 22 500 tons of India-bound sugar to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.

Roland Raath ... ‘Figures showing a minimal upturn in July.’
