TFR maps out growth strategy for container business By Liesl Venter

Transnet Freight Rail has embarked on a range of initiatives to grow its share of container business from 17% to 30% in the next four years.

This includes the establishment of a specialised unit, the container and automotive division, set to be launched in September this year, and collaboration with shipping lines, freight forwarders and cargo owners. Greater integration with ports is also a high priority.

Bheka Xaba, sales and marketing executive manager for the container and automotive division, admits that TFR has not exploited its potential to the full.

“In the past five years industry demand has been growing by double digits but TFR only managed to grow its capacity by 2%. We have now implemented a strategy that will see us grow our market share in the maritime industry from 17% to 30% by 2012/13 and in the domestic or crossborder logistics sector from 5% to 20% in the same period.

And already, he says, the plans and initiatives are bearing fruit. “In December 2007 we had an average of three trains per day moving from our yard in City Deep to Durban and back. That has been increased to an average of 16 trains a day at the moment while we are

convinced we are going to meet our target of 24 trains a day by the end of the 2009/2010 financial year.”

Xaba said the transformation journey had seen TFR investing heavily in port and rail as well as its City Deep operations to create capacity ahead of

expected demand.“A few months back

our trains were still interdependent, but we have changed it completely. Our times have improved and we are seeing very few delays occurring. Our train capacity utilisation is now around 95%

US-Angola service launchedBy Alan Peat

Born of a combination of two long-established shipping services, the Angola Atlantic Line (AAL) looks set to make a big mark on the US-Angola sea trade.

It combines the ocean-going ships of the Gulf Africa Line (GAL) – run in SA by Maritime Carrier Shipping (Macs) – and the feeder coastal vessels of Angolana de Navegacao (Anna) – represented in SA by Meihuizen International – in a new, regular, multi-purpose liner service from the US Gulf to Angola.

The ships will hub at the Namibian port of Walvis Bay, a transhipment point being co-ordinated by Meihuizen, according to Mark Kilbride.

And the new, every 20-day multi-purpose service – handling bulk, breakbulk and containerised cargoes – is a perfect match of ships, according to Macs breakbulk manager, Lars Greiner.

Ports Regulator – Regulatory PrinciplesIn a 60-page Government Gazette notice dated 06 August 2009, the Department of Transport published the Ports Regulator – Regulatory Principles.

The Regulatory Principles are published for general information and come into operation on the date of publication, 06 August 2009.

ITAC workshop on the Draft Countervailing RegulationsThe International Trade Administration Commission of South Africa (Itac) has extended an invitation to all interested parties to attend a workshop on its recently published Draft Countervailing Regulations.

Readers will recall that countervailing is one of the three trade remedies, the other two being dumping and safeguards. Countervailing and dumping are referred to as unfair trade remedies, whilst safeguards are referred

to as fair trade remedies.In respect of

countervailing duties, these are imposed on goods imported that have benefited from government incentives and specifically export incentives. Export incentives can be classified into three categories, namely prohibited export incentives (red light subsidies), actionable export incentives (amber light subsidies), and non-actionable export incentives (green light subsidies).

At present South Africa and the Southern African Customs Union (Sacu) only impose countervailing duties on ropes and cables of iron or steel, not electrically insulated, of a diameter exceeding 8 mm (excluding that of wire of stainless steel, that of wire plated, coated or clad with copper, and those identifiable as brass plated tyre reinforcing cord and conveyor belt cord) (excluding that manufactured by Apar Industries); and Stranded wire of iron

or steel, not electrically insulated of a diameter exceeding 8 mm (excluding that of stainless steel, plated, coated or clad with copper or tin and those identifiable as brass plated tyre reinforcing cord and conveyor belt cord) (excluding Apar Industries) from India.

The workshop is scheduled to take place on Thursday, 10 September 2009, from 09:00 to 13:00 at the South African Reserve Bank (SARB) Conference Centre, 370 Church Street, Pretoria.

Draft Report on Customs Fraud in Respect of Textile, Clothing and Footwear The National Economic Development and Labour Council (Nedlac) recently published its “Report of the NEDLAC Task Team on Customs Fraud in Respect of Textiles, Clothing and Footwear”.

According to the document “customs fraud” is accepted to be any practice aimed at

evading tariffs and other customs rules and includes under-invoicing, false declaration, rerouting via third countries, misuses of duty rebates and credits and corrupt payment to officials.

An invitation has been extended to all interested parties to provide comment on the report.

Proposed Bilateral Investment Treaty Policy FrameworkThe Department of Trade and Industry (the dti) has released, for public comment, its proposed “Bilateral Investment Treaty (BIT) Policy Framework”.

The document is a review of the existing position, and also contains policy recommendations.

Note: This is a non- comprehensive statement of the law. No liability can be accepted for errors and omissions.

TFR cuts theft rate through range of initiativesBy Liesl Venter

Safety and security is a key priority for Transnet Freight Rail, says Frans Seloane, executive manager: operations container and automotive division.

“We have upgraded the clamps we use on the containers to ensure that no-one can open them and we also stack our six metre containers with the doors facing inward, making it impossible to unlock while on the wagon.”

The company has also implemented a specialised tracking system that tracks individual containers either

via cellphone or internet. By increasing patrols and safety procedures at depots, TFR has reduced the theft rate from 30 attempts and eight successes in March last year to just eight attempts in February this year where only four containers were opened.

“One of the major headaches we continue to face is that of cable theft,” said Seloane. “We have also implemented measures to address this theft which include collaboration with Telkom and Eskom as well as patrols along hot spot areas. We’re also replacing the cables with a contaminated copper which is rendered

useless to the user.”An average R8-million worth

of copper is stolen from TFR annually and remains one of the major reasons for train delays. “One cannot quantify these costs to the organisation,” said Seloane, taking into account that costs of delaying a ship in the harbour can be up to $30 000 a day in fines.

“We have also implemented telemeters for use when the train is in transit that will provide the driver with a live monitor to the freight braking system while hi-tech surveillance, which includes the use of helicopters, is also used in our response to crime.”

Swazi Customs officers accused of drunkenness, corruptionTestimony about collusion emerges

By James Hall

MBABANE – Swaziland customs officers have been depicted as thieving drunkards by MPs at hearings held last week by a Swaziland Parliamentary Portfolio Committee. A prominent cabinet minister attending seemed to agree.

“There is a culture of corruption in the customs department,” said Minister of Finance Majozi Sithole, whose portfolio incorporates the Department of Customs

and Excise.MP Petros Mavimbela

complained about inebriated customs officials at border posts.

“Businessmen (importers and exporters) are harassed because someone who’s not sober is bound to behave in a disorderly manner. I invite the minister to one day come with me to the border to see what I am talking about,” he said.

“I thought we had diligent and committed Customs officials, yet all we have

are drunks,” replied finance minister Sithole after hearing MPs’ testimonies.

Sithole promised to look into the sobriety of customs officers at the nation’s border posts. But problems larger than tipsy goods inspectors were exposed at the hearings.

The finance minister himself provided testimony about collusion between customs officials and cigarette bootleggers. Illegal contraband destined for destruction or public

auction disappears, and suspicion falls on customs department involvement.

“In the past confiscated cigarettes illegally brought into the country were auctioned, but now the seized material never finds its way to auction. By the appointed date it is nowhere to be seen,” Sithole said. Instead, the contraband is sometimes seized twice from dealers. “There is no way that the cigarettes could find their way back to dealers without the

involvement of Customs officials,” Sithole said.

This week, a Manzini businessman implicated in cigarette smuggling was arrested for “stealing back” R3.6m in cigarettes he previously smuggled into the country, which were seized by the Customs department and kept at a government warehouse. Arrested along with the alleged smuggler were two Customs and Excise employees and a government security guard.

Frans Seloane ... An average R8-million worth of copper is stolen from TFR annually.

Lines applaud call for rate restoration‘If we don’t follow we won’t have any rates or services left to offer’

Several major lines have added their support to last week’s lead story in FTW about rate restoration.

The words of Captain Salvatore Sarno, chairman of MSC – that rate restoration is the only option for shipping lines and is a matter of survival – were warmly applauded by all the shipping executives interviewed.

“And,” said Sue Wood, operations director of Cargocare Freight Services, “it’s a trend that’s becoming increasingly apparent - with rate restoration

on both Far East and Europe trades.”

So far, she added, MSC’s announcement has been followed by DAL, Hapag Lloyd (confirmed by HL operations manager Tim Phillips) and CSAV, according to recent communications from the lines.

FTW had further confirmation from the Taiwan shipping line Evergreen that it had also started a “survival strategy” and had implemented a general rates restoration (GRR) of US$200/TEU from July 1, applicable on both the

Far East and South American trades. This is to be followed by a further US$200/TEU GRR on September 2.

The reason, the line told FTW, was that carriers are losing big money hand over fist in the current environment. Rates that were in the region of US$1 250/TEU about a year ago have plummeted to about US$275-US$300. The need now, according to the line, is to get the rates back to what it described as “a sustainable level”.

Although Maersk and sister

line Safmarine were in the “hush period” just before the release of the AP Moller group’s annual results, FTW was led to believe that both lines were of the same sentiments – and that they also have survival progammes and GRRs in place.

The Japanese carrier, Mitsui OSK Line (MOL) is also unhappy with the current unsustainable rates.

“Basically,” said Cape Town-based market team leader, Andrew Weiss, “if we don’t go the same way we won’t have any rates or services left

to offer.“We’ve had to cut back our

services because of the money being lost, and increasing the rates has to be part of any plan to survive.”

A similar story from Sam Moffitt, SA GM of the German carrier, Hamburg Süd.

“I certainly agree with his (Sarno’s) comments,” he said. “We’re at unsustainable levels.

“The issue is improving the revenue, and remembering that our costs – like bunkers – are getting ever higher. We have to get rates up to survive.”

Sunshine days could take a while… as GDP eases from minus 6.4% to minus 3%

By Alan Peat

While the decline in the gross domestic product (GDP) has eased from a rate of -6.4% in the first quarter to -3% in the second, it’s not necessarily a promise that sunshine days are just round the corner, according to Danelee van Dyk, economics researcher at the Standard Bank.

Following the contraction of the economy by -1.8% in

the last quarter of 2008, the GDP has slipped for three consecutive quarters, the first time that has happened in more than a decade.

And, although the global decline may certainly be on the wane, and “seemingly losing its verve”, Van Dyk refrained from arrant optimism.

“This by no means suggests that the vicious circle is unravelling, although its

ferocity may very well be,” she told FTW. “In our opinion the domestic recession is reaching an advanced phase, albeit lagging the global cycle.”

SA's new finance minister, Pravin Gordhan, agreed. “Just as the impact of the recession on SA lagged somewhat behind the rest of the world's, it seems our recovery will lag too.”

This has been true for the continent as a whole. As the

global crunch first hit the headlines, Africa – and its economic powerhouse, SA – at first seemed isolated from the market and banking turmoil that had engulfed Europe and the US. But the drop in consumer demand in the West eventually meant Africans were selling less of the commodities on which many of their economies depend.

So, although delayed, the crunch came, and recent

reports on the continent's economic prospects predict that overall growth for 2009 will be 2.8%, less than half the 5.7% expected before the global downturn.

“The prospects for rejuvenation in depleted inventory levels – a catalyst for a rebound in production – have ripened, which should bolster the economy’s growth potential in the second half of the year,” says Van Dyk.

New opportunities open up for SA seafarersBy Ray Smuts

Developing a pool of South African merchant seafarers for deployment as navigation and engineering officers and deck crews is the aim of a new joint initiative by Cape Town marine specialist company, Marine Crew Services (MCS) and Singapore’s RKOffshore.

Jaco Rabie, general manager of RKOffshore, says South Africa is certainly well placed to become one of the most

important sources of suitably qualified staff for deployment in the company’s growing fleet of off-shore oil supply vessels, currently totalling 16 but due to increase to 30 by mid-2010.

He visited the Mother City recently with RKOffshore’s crewing manager Emily Tan to finalise plans for the initiative with MCS, established six years ago to coordinate training of local seafarers and in so doing, increase the country’s role in the maritime sector.

Deanna Collins, MCS’s director of crew and training, says the success of the Sanko programme can be seen in the increasing numbers of MCS/Sanko cadets who have completed their sea time and are now taking up positions as junior officers.

South Africa is gaining an international reputation as a domestic and regional hub for human trafficking – and with the 2010 World Cup in the offing, the need for live bodies for all sorts of nefarious purposes is expected to accelerate.

Also, from a global perspective, the illegal international movement of people is a real money-making concern – and SA has its fair share of such dishonest money-makers.

People stowed away on ships is a major concern in the thriving SA seaport of Durban – which involves shipping lines, private sector investigation teams and the customs and immigration, police and public prosecutors in the city.

The difference in moving stowaways and moving people against their will is not too clear, because stowaways are supposed to be moving willingly. However,

a stowaway investigator told FTW, when someone has paid to be moved from the Congo to SA, for example, it may only be done on the promise of better things to come. But what hasn’t been revealed is that the “job” at the other end is the likes of prostitution or child or slave labour.

And the number of publicly reported incidents is not too

high, according to Durban-based maritime legal specialist, Andrew Robinson, because the lines, for example, have got to worry about liability issues and their reputations.

And, in the case of what are recognised as stowaways, there is seldom any sort of legal repercussion, with lines and the authorities tending to co-operate on quietly repatriating the

stowaways – a function which is part of a process devised by global marine insurers, the P & I Club.

But transporting the supposedly unwilling parties along the marine freight chain is certainly possible, Robinson added.

There’s another reason why human trafficking has not been highlighted in the courts, according to the Durban public prosecutor’s office.

Prosecutor Val Kotan told FTW that, until now, there had been little legislation directly aimed at it. This has meant that, although trafficking may be involved, the main charge that has been laid, and will be headlined in the press, is prostitution, for example.

“People then don’t necessarily link the two things,” said Kotan, “but we believe that trafficking’s a priority item that requires attention.”

However, she added, the prosecutors are happy that new

legislation is in the pipeline.This was confirmed by

Robinson, who added that this accompanied changes to legislation on prostitution, and its decriminalisation – considered a preparatory predecessor to next year’s World Cup.

His legal team’s research

revealed that the government has now released the 61-page draft bill – titled “Prevention and Combating of Trafficking in Persons” – which was published on May 8 in Government Gazette 32222 for public comment, said Denys Reitz’ librarian, Rosemary Hope.

Bodies in boxes are big business in SAHuman trafficking legislation in the pipeline

A carrier that is involved in the transport of any victim of trafficking that does not have the necessary lawful documentation may be liable to a fine not exceeding R1-million.

‘Lines and authorities tend to co-operate on quietly repatriating the stowaways.’


But, although amended and new legislation is under way, none of our commentators felt that this new human trafficking act was the be-all-and-end-all as far as trafficking was concerned.

“There are answers,” said Robinson, “like sealing empty containers. There’s other methodology like the stowaway investigators’ search-and-sniff dog teams

used to trace stowaways.“But these are basically stopgap

measures, and the only guaranteed way of beating it is for customs to search every single box – an impossible undertaking.

“But there are people dedicated to sorting this out – and they’ll find answers one of these days.”

Part of the answer, according to Robinson, lies in the draft human trafficking bill.

“In terms of this draft bill,” he said, “a carrier is any company, or any owner, operator or master of any means of transport. In my view it should include container operators, charterers and shipping lines.

“In terms of Draft Section 9, a carrier that is involved in the transport of any victim of trafficking that does not have the necessary lawful documentation to enter or depart the RSA, may be guilty of an offence and is liable, on conviction, to a fine not exceeding R1-million or to imprisonment not exceeding 5 years.

“The carrier will not be guilty of an offence if it reasonably believes the documents to be in order, or if the victim's travel documents were lawful at the time of boarding.The carrier will also have to pay the costs incurred in respect of the care, accommodation, transportation and repatriation of the victim.”

It follows the United Nations (UN) protocol to prevent, suppress and punish trafficking in persons – a protocol dated 2000.

“This draft bill seeks to give effect to that protocol,” Robinson added.

Revenue up in premium airfreight marketSmaller shipments translate into higher yields

By Joy Orlek

Following shareholder and board approval, British Airways is set for a UK£600 million cash injection intended to breathe new life into the company.

Following a series of cost-cutting exercises, which has seen a 25% reduction in the number of management heads, the airline is now in a strong position, newly appointed regional commercial manager for Africa, Mark Stubbings, told FTW in Johannesburg last week.

And every staff member has played a role in the rejuvenation efforts.

Fairly controversial was the company’s Business Response Scheme which called on staff to do the most they could to help cut costs, given the fact that companies were going out of business every day – and for BA that was a real risk 2-3 months ago.

The options were to take voluntary unpaid leave, work without pay for a week to a

month, or hand back leave. It wasn’t mandatory but the majority of the workforce rose to the occasion, including Stubbings who chose the work without pay option.

The airline is now in a far stronger financial position to confront the challenges ahead – but while Stubbings subscribes to the global view that the recession has probably bottomed out, he doesn’t expect any signs of a turnaround before 2010.

From a cargo perspective the market out of Africa in general has dropped slightly, says Stubbings. “If you look at the premium market our tonnages are flat but our revenue is up by 20%. It’s an area on which BA World Cargo is focusing with its Constant Climate product.”

Fewer shipments at smaller weights is the trend, and good news for the airline industry, translating into higher yield.

Another positive flows from the lower oil prices.

“Last year’s shift to seafreight in response to the

hike in fuel surcharges has largely reversed.

“And because of the supply/demand ratio, airfreight rates have been driven down which

means it’s now as cheap to put cargo in the air as on sea,” says Stubbings.

But as operators fight for diminishing volumes, some

players are driving rates down to ridiculous levels, in his view. “We accept that rates will suffer but some individuals are doing it at negative values – not even cost neutral.

“It’s all about gaining market share – and that doesn’t just upset the airlines, it affects freight forwarders and everyone in the chain because the margins are so tight that no-one is making any money.”

But it’s not all doom and gloom.

“In South Africa there’s a view from the perishable market that volumes will rise over the next several months.

“We’re also seeing some positive moves particularly in West Africa which is a strong route for fruit to the UK and Europe.”

The airfreight industry is clearly not expecting a smooth or speedy ride out of the recession, but there are pockets of optimism which innovative carriers will be exploiting to the full.

Mark Stubbings … ‘Some players are driving rates down to ridiculous levels.’

New insurance rules alter liability precedentsFar-reaching impact on SA importers

A new international cargo transport convention that is to be accepted by the United Nations (UN) within weeks could have far-reaching impact on SA importers, according to Mardus Mynhardt of attorneys Shepstone & Wylie’s international transport, trade and energy department.

These ‘Rotterdam Rules’, accepted by the UN general assembly in December 2008 as the ‘Convention on Contracts for the International Carriage of Goods Wholly or Partly by Sea’, aim to improve on, and ultimately supersede, all the previous conventions that currently govern the international carriage of goods by sea – the Hague, the Hague-Visby, and the Hamburg Rules.

The motivation behind this latest change is the rise in containerised shipping, the demand for door to door transport and the use of electronic shipping documents.

“These,” said Mynhardt, “are just three of the modern aspects of cargo transport that were previously neglected by the older international conventions – and which the Rotterdam Rules seek to address.”

There’s a whole attitudinal change in the spirit of the

new rules. At the moment, SA abides by

the Hague-Visby Rules, which among other things accept that shipping is inherently dangerous and that ship owners cannot have absolute responsibility throughout the voyage.

In practice, what this means is that ship owners only need to ensure that the ship is seaworthy at the start of the voyage, and there are recognised defences if cargo owners suffer loss as a result of navigational errors resulting from faulty instruments or even fires caused by negligent crew members.

However, as Mynhardt related, modern-day equipment, improved communications and stringent safety standards have encouraged the Rotterdam Rules, among other things, to move away from these recognised defences, and to obligate the ship owner to ensure that the ship is seaworthy throughout the sea voyage.

“Clearly,” he said, “the ratification of the Rotterdam Rules will shift the risk involved in sea trade and should be considered when revising or purchasing new insurance policies.

“It will also be important to

keep an eye on which countries adopt the rules, since this could have a significant effect on the carriers’, shippers’ or consignees’ rights under the contract of carriage – depending where litigation may take place.”

According to Mynhardt it was unlikely that SA would become a signatory to the new convention immediately as a full consultative process with the shipping industry would first need to be undertaken.

“But,” he told FTW, “its adoption by other countries could impact importers.

“Initial indications are that influential countries – such as the US and Japan – already support the new convention, and in May this year the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) added its support for the ratification of the rules.

“In asking governments to consider ratification of the convention the ICC says

this should be done in active consultation with international business – including shippers, carriers, forwarders and insurers – noting that these constituencies may have differing views on the regime.”

The Rotterdam Rules were adopted by the general assembly of the UN on December 11 last year. Once signed, on September 23, the convention will be open for ratification and will come into force on the 20th signature.

The motivation behind this latest change is the rise in containerised shipping, the demand for door to door transport and the use of electronic shipping documents.

APM-Maersk results reflect economic crisisBy Alan Peat

The parent group of the world’s largest container line, AP Moller-Maersk, has reflected the global economic crisis, with a first half slump in freight rates and volumes.

For the group’s container shipping activities rates were off by 30% and volumes down 7% over the same period of 2008.

However, as a flash of a green shoot, the result for the second quarter was slightly

better than expected, said the group interim report.

Revenue for the half-year fell by 25% to US$22.752-billion – and the net result for the period was a loss of US$540-million, compared to the profit of US$2.456-bn in the same period

of 2008.Nils S Andersen, group CEO,

expects the result for the second half of 2009 to be at the same level as the first half year.

“The outlook for the remainder of 2009 is subject to considerable uncertainty,” he

said in the report, “not least due to the development in the global economy.

“Specific uncertainties relate to the development in container freight rates, transported volumes, the US$ exchange rate and oil prices.”

Working for a Big MacBy Ed Richardson

Readers based in Johannesburg will work for an average of 26 minutes to earn enough to buy a Big Mac.

That compares well to the global average of 37 minutes, not as good as the 12 minutes it takes in Chicago, but a whole lot better than the 2.5 hours people work in Nairobi to pay for a Big Mac, according to the latest UBS study: Prices and Earnings 2009.

The study was based on data collected in 73 cities around the world between March and April of this year.

The study has ranked Oslo, Zurich, Copenhagen, Geneva, Tokyo and New York as the world's most expensive cities based on a standardised basket of 122 goods and services – including transportation, which makes up 15% of the basket.

The basket costs the least in Kuala Lumpur, Manila, Delhi and Mumbai.

Johannesburg (the only SA city in the study) was 64th cheapest for the basket,

enjoyed the 43rd highest wages, scored 40th in terms of domestic buying power, as well as the number of minutes worked to buy a big Mac, or an 8gb iPod Nano.

ICS students shineIn the 170 papers written in SA (which include those written in Walvis Bay and Nairobi), a total of 14 Foundation Diplomas were obtained in this year’s Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers (ICS) exam.

And, according to ICS’s Fiona de Goede, a new course, the ‘Advanced Diploma’, was attempted for the first time this year.

“Five candidates sat this qualification,” she said, “with one succeeding in passing the two subjects that comprise this diploma.

“Also, 13 candidates completed the full PQE, which means they are now eligible for membership of ICS, and a further 11 PQE candidates passed some of their subjects – which indicates good growth, as they will become eligible

for membership in the next year or two.”

One of the stars of the show was a student who obtained a distinction in the subject ‘Introduction to Shipping’ – and she has also been selected as the international prizewinner of this subject and will be invited to travel to London to an awards ceremony to be held later this year.

SA prize-winners will be honoured at a gala dinner to be held on September 11 in Durban – an event open to the local shipping industry.

“A total of 13 prizes will be awarded at this event,” De Goede added, “including a floating trophy that will be awarded to the candidate who obtained the highest marks on completion of the PQE.”

Jo’burgers will work for an average of 26 minutes to earn enough to buy a Big Mac.

FOR SALEBy Ray Smuts

He admires Clint Eastwood’s old fashioned cowboy values of honesty and loyalty and considers Sharon Stone the ‘sexiest woman alive’ – even so, Jan Kruger played his own centre stage role as the face of ocean freight changed dramatically and an unshackled fruit industry began to blossom.

Safmarine’s ‘Mr Reefer’ since 1995 but involved for 37 years in the line’s containerisation activities, Kruger officially retired at the end of April and will be sorely missed by the container and fruit sectors, such was his passion for both.

Like most lads of a tender age, Kruger – who was born in Calitzdorp and raised in Queenstown – dreamt of a ‘hot’ career, driving a steam locomotive or becoming a detective.

That was all forgotten when, armed with B Com and MBA degrees from Stellenbosch University, he joined Safmarine in 1972 as a traffic controller, proudly recalling being one of the first to receive an electronic calculator…without a memory.

Two years later saw the formation of, and

Kruger’s inclusion in, Safmarine’s container team, its purpose to transform the company from conventional to containerised cargo.

In 1976 he was posted to London to establish a container management function for Europe, in preparation for Safics (Safmarine Interim Container Service), the forerunner to a full-blown Saecs service which continues successfully to this day.

Kruger later took over the container department in Cape Town then moved to the Europe trade, first as ops manager and then pricing manager.

He was given the added responsibility of understudying Chick Breetzke, the then Conference chairman and also Safmarine’s ‘Mr Reefer’, whom he succeeded as reefer executive in 1995.

Perhaps the most interesting time in Kruger’s eventful career was the deregulation of the fruit industry in 1999, which left local producers free to export their fruit directly to global markets.

He says most of the emerging exporters approached Safmarine to handle their business and many remain with the line to this day. “Safmarine’s fruit customer base is the envy of many shipping lines,” he says with a certain measure of pride.

“My life has been immensely enriched by the people I’ve met in the local fruit business. These people have been, and are, the backbone of Safmarine’s reefer trade, which is why it remains important to continue supporting this industry as we expand our business into other new sectors.”

Another career highlight has been the swing from conventional shipping to reefer containers and the benefits this has brought the South African fruit export industry.

The inroads of containerisation over conventional shipping have been “remarkable”, says Kruger, estimating a seven-fold increase in the two decades up to 2009. (The mix is now approximately 75:25 in favour of containers).

A keen hunter and marathon runner after quitting smoking, Kruger and schoolteacher wife Nell are contemplating eventual retirement to the Great Karoo hamlet of Prince Albert where they have bought an old Victorian house with watering rights – what they call a leibeurt in Afrikaans – for the large plot. (The couple has three grown children).

“Who knows? Perhaps I will buy a cart and donkey so we can take our fresh vegetables to the weekly market,” he jokes.

Pacific International Line’s Kota Waruna carved a niche for herself last week as the first vessel to tie up at Cape Town Container Terminal’s new-look Berth 601, sporting a set of post-panamax twin lift ship to shore gantry cranes.

No sooner had news of the vessel’s impending arrival reached FTW via Captain Tony Nicholas, Cape Town branch manager for PIL South Africa, than Transnet Port Terminals’ business unit executive, Oscar Borchards, made clear why preference had been shown a smaller vessel – the Waruna with maximum capacity of 1 550teu.

“We needed to identify an appropriate-sized vessel as 601 would not have been able to accommodate a larger ship for now, given the next two cranes at Berth 602 are not yet operational.”

Borchards says all new cranes (R60 million apiece) covering the terminal’s four berths will be subjected to 100 operational hours each

before an official handover by crane manufacturer, Liebherr.

Deployed on the West Africa trade, Kota Waruna arrived off the Mother City

container terminal on August 18 and berthed on August 20 for an actual delay of 42.17 hours.

She discharged 162 TEUs and loaded 94 TEUs, to be

followed on berth by MSC Marmara.

Container business compared to the 70% in 2007.”

According to Xaba TFR currently has an active fleet of 7400 wagons, and while no new locomotives are on order for the current financial year, upgraded rolling stock released from the iron-ore lines is set to improve the container trains’ time significantly.

“Our rates are very competitive and by our calculations we can give a

client a cost saving of up to 35% in comparison to road.”

With R749 million approved already for the first phase of upgrading the City Deep yard, a whopping R1.4 billion will be invested in the new unit during the second phase to ensure the container and automotive division can meet demand.

“We have attracted several new customers including Woolworths, BMW, Sony and Samsung. We are actively

marketing ourselves to mining and resources companies as we believe we can offer them real value service at lower rates than what they are currently paying,” said Xaba.

TFR is expecting to see this new unit turn over R3 billion by the 2012/13 financial year thanks to improved efficiencies. In the last financial year TFR revenue was just over R15 billion of which R1 billion was from the container and automotive unit.

All the Macs and GAL vessels, he said, are in the 25 000-35 000-metric tonne deadweight class – handysize to handymax, multipurpose, tween-deck ships with self-geared heavy-lift capabilities up to 80-t. The Anna ships are in the 4 000-5 000-mt category, and also self-geared up to 60-tons.

“It’s a perfect match,” said Greiner, “not only in vessels, but also in company character. I’d say it’s very much a synergy of mentalities.”

The new Angola Atlantic Line will service a port rotation of: Altamira-Houston-New Orleans-Jacksonville-Walvis Bay-Sonils-Soyo-Cabinda.

And, if things go as planned, there’s another sea trade leg that can be incorporated into the newly established link-up.

Said Greiner: “If the AAL service goes successfully, we are hoping to add Macs as a third-string, and incorporate its European cargo into the service as well.”
