Most of the “passengers” on our Ro/Ro ships are cars. But by no means all of them.

our Ro/Ro vessels also carry other, entirely different types of cargo safely from one port to another. King-sized bulldozers being one example. And tractors, trucks, agricultural machinery, trams and buses. In short, more or less anything that rolls or crawls.

our ships have adjustable decks to accommodate vehicles of various heights, and the capacity to carry almost any type of Ro/Ro cargo. Just try us.

While the world has seemingly escaped a global financial crash that would have put the great depression of the 30s in the shade, it is not out of the woods yet.

This as US President Barack Obama announced at the beginning of this week that he and top lawmakers had reached an 11th-hour deal to avert a first-ever US debt payment default that would have sown chaos across the world economy

“I want to announce that

the leaders of both parties in both chambers have reached an agreement that will reduce the deficit and avoid default, a default that would have had a devastating effect on our economy,” he said.

As described by Obama and congressional leaders, the deal would raise the country’s US$14.3-trillion debt ceiling by about US$2.4-trn in two steps, while calling for roughly the same amount in spending cuts over 10 years.

At the time of writing, he still had to get both parties’ support in the Congress and

the Senate.But, regardless of the US

being thrown a lifebelt, Europe (and the Euro) is also in danger of drowning in the deepening waters of its own debt crisis – which has so far pushed Greece, Ireland and Portugal into bailouts. It shows no signs of losing momentum, raising fears in recent weeks that it will engulf Italy and Spain as well.

This mostly Mediterranean debt tragedy could lead the world into a finance and trade crash similar to the 2008/9 crisis.

Luke Doig, Johannesburg-based senior economist at the Credit Guarantee Insurance Corporation asked: “Could the globe and South Africa re-enter recession? It cannot be excluded. Be prepared; protect yourself.”

This fear was also on the minds of the International Monetary Fund financial thinktank. It has expressed its growing concern about the deepening crisis in Greece, stressing that a failure by the European Union (EU) to take decisive action could lead to

Global financial woes continue

With Women’s Day being celebrated next Tuesday (August 9), it is highly topical to headline three Durban women who have made history by becoming Africa’s first black, female marine pilots to obtain an open licence that enables them to navigate ships of any size and type into South African waters.

Not only are Precious Dube, Bongiwe Mbambo and Pinky Zungu three of only five female marine pilots in South Africa, but their open licence gives them authority to guide anything from the very smallest vessels to the biggest supertankers and container ships into port.

The three were among the earliest development candidates

The bulker, MV Phoenix, stranded just off Sheffield Beach north of Durban, has been put up for sale.

The SA Maritime Safety Authority (Samsa) said its attempts to communicate with the Indian owners of the ship had been fruitless. Although the owners had promised to provide a salvage tug to continue the voyage to the scrapyard in India, she was still aground when Samsa approached the KwaZulu-Natal High Court to get permission to seize and sell the Phoenix.

The order was granted and potential buyers already identified as she went up for auction yesterday (August 4).

South African manufacturers would have to learn to adjust and be more flexible if they wanted to increase exports into Africa, said Duncan Bonnett of Whitehouse & Associates.

Speaking at a recent China in Africa conference, Bonnett said China had overtaken South African exports into the continent due to a variety of reasons, but also because they were flexible and willing to adapt to satisfy the market they were serving.

“In 2000, South African exports into Africa were slightly larger than China’s at about $3.9 billion to their $3.6 billion. By 2006, however, China was exporting roughly double what we were and, by 2009, three-and-a-half times more.”

Citing the sale of cooking oil in Nairobi in Kenya as an example, Bonnet said China had invested a lot of time and effort into understanding its African market.

“They have learned that people in Nairobi want to buy their cooking oil by the scoop and not by the bottle and, therefore, have catered for that very need. They understand the

fundamentals of doing business. But, more than that, they know Africa.”

He said many South African manufacturers, on the other hand, failed to meet the market need due to their inability to change. “It’s the Henry Ford option – and, as long as we refuse to change, we will miss out on opportunities to grow our African market.”

He said while some manufacturers were starting to adapt, it was not happening fast enough.

As South Africa prepares to celebrate Women’s Day on August 9, it appears that South African logistics companies are going the extra mile to increase the number of women employed in the industry.

It is, however, not just a numbers game but also about creating jobs where women can take up leadership positions to play meaningful and strategic roles within the transport, logistics and supply chain environment.

“We have definitely seen more and more women enter boardrooms where strategic business decisions are made,” says Ilse de Bruin, managing director freight forwarding South Africa operations for UTi. “Companies are realising that the inclusion of women in the industry is an imperative business decision that facilitates balance across the economy.”

Some 40% of UTi’s workforce is made up of women across different divisions and at different levels, with women involved in driving the business strategy at executive level to operations and warehousing.

At the recent Sapics conference at Sun

City, Professior Tagatha Dasgupta from the University of California in Irvine was overheard saying he had no idea the South African supply chain industry employed so many women.

This bodes well for the industry, say the experts, who believe the trend to employ women will continue into the future, allowing for more women to gain experience in what has historically been a male-dominated industry.

Mozambique’s much-anticipated economic boost from the export of coal mined to the north is being delayed, according to national ports and railways company, CFM.

According to executive board director, Adelino Mesquita, the opening of the line to large coal volumes could be delayed by another 18 months.

He says another US$200 million is needed to complete the upgrade of the 673-kilometre-long Sena line from mines in the western Tete province owned by Brazil’s Vale and Australia’s Riverdale companies through the port of Beira.

At an estimated 23 billion tons, it is one of the world’s largest untapped coal reserves. According to Mesquita, Vale and Riverdale have indicated that they are willing to fund the completion of the line upgrade.

Both are also investigating other avenues. Riverdale is looking at taking the coal down

the Zambezi and transhipping it onto larger vessels. Vale plans to build a new railway from Moatize in northern Mozambique that will cross eastern Malawi to the natural deep-water port of Nacala.

By 2014, Vale’s output is expected to be 12 million tons of coal a year.

In the short term, with exports due to start between now and September, the company will have to make use of the existing line.

It also faces delays in the upgrading of the Beira quayside which, according to CFM chairperson Rosario Mualeia, will be ready in September this year.

Earlier this year the government of Maputo threatened to fire Indian consortium RICON, which should have finished the job two years ago. After inspecting the line himself in February, Mualeia told reporters that “not a single kilometre” was in a decent condition.

In physics it’s called “displacement”. Press down on water or a soft substance and the volume will relocate by spilling or bulging elsewhere. The political upheavals sweeping the Middle East this year have had just such an effect on the global citrus industry, to the advantage of SA growers and perishables shippers.

It seems the political crisis in the Middle East earlier in the year has had a knock-on effect in certain markets, as citrus could not be shipped out of that area during the turmoil. In both Russia and the Middle East there are reports of very late Egyptian shipments that coincided with the early South African orange shipments,” said Justin Chadwick, CEO of the Citrus Growers’ Association in a recent weekly newsletter

sent to citrus growers.With Moroccan citrus also

straggling to regional and world markets, SA product has been sought to fill the gap in the region. Chadwick reported that as of mid-July, year-to-date SA citrus shipments to the Middle East increased from 25% of citrus exports in 2010 (3.5m 15kg cartons) to 28% of total in 2011 (4m cartons). The Russian market has also seen increased imports of SA lemons, grapefruit and soft citrus.

Displacement of fruit from other nations by SA product in Asia will have to occur through marketing and old-fashioned salesmanship touting the superiority of SA fruits. While Asia remains a tantalising market for SA

citrus exports, for now the Far East represents the smallest destination for SA fruits amongst global markets. According to the Perishable Products Export Control Board, in the case of SA oranges, Far East nations have imported less than 6% of shipment volumes thus far this year compared to 7% for the UK alone and 29% for Northern Europe, SA’s

largest citrus importer. To boost sales, the Department of Trade and Industry is sponsoring a meeting room at the continent’s big trade show – AsiaFruit Logistica in Hong Kong – in September to allow SA citrus growers to tout their wares for potential buyers.

The results of a “South African Grapefruit Challenge” held in May

this year may provide marketing pitch points: 65 UK women who consumed one SA grapefruit a day for two weeks found the white variety “naturally sweeter” than counterparts from elsewhere, so no added sugar was needed. SA pink and ruby varieties, which the CGA says are growing more popular in Asia, have even higher natural sugar content.

Global political upheavals benefit SA citrus exports‘Tantalising’ Far East market still our smallest

Despite the many challenges facing South Africa’s perishable export industry – the strong rand, inadequate infrastructure and reduced global demand – the industry is upbeat.FTW takes a closer look.

The supply of refrigerated containers remains under considerable pressure in SA, but the popularity of reefers as an alternative to cold storage rooms continues to grow. Of real concern is the growing shortage of 20-foot containers which continue to be more difficult to source than 40-footers.

“The local and overborder markets we supply have continued to show good growth, which in turn leads to good

demand by perishable handlers for cold transport and on-the-ground static cold storage. One of the challenges to that growth remains a ready supply of good reefers. Container supply has been slow to rebound after emerging from the 2008-09 economic slump and the trend looks set to continue in the short term as the level of orders for new reefers struggles to make up for the two years’ worth of lost production,” said Warren Jacobs of Almar Container Group.

For Almar’s clients,

“specialist refrigeration expertise” has proved important.

“We have established a good working relationship with a reliable network of specialist reefer technicians to prepare and maintain our reefer fleet. This strong network of technical experts is a critical component for a successful reefer container supplier,” said Jacobs.

The mobility of reefers

is one factor in their usage as alternative cold storage rooms.

“The containers have proved to be a versatile and reliable refrigeration system. Reefers continue to be given preference over the costly construction of immobile cold rooms – and with a temperature range of minus 25 to plus 18 the list

of possible applications is vast,” said Jacobs.

The outlook for the shipment and storage of perishables this year and beyond suggests a continuing upward demand for reefers.

“Going forward the market looks set to provide some good opportunities for the sale and lease of reefer containers while the supply side is expected to improve into 2012,” said Jacobs.

On-the-ground service is key to ensuring a client’s perishable cargo passes through a foreign country’s customs procedures without a hitch.

“When we ship perishables into Tanzania the cargo has to be inspected first by the Health Ministry. They have the power to delay or even destroy a shipment. Getting the permits sorted out is also very important. Our office in Tanzania works with our client there to obtain permits. Once the permit is in hand, but not before, the shipment goes out of Johannesburg,” says Andre Dekker of SDV Sael.

The firm ships SA perishables to the Malawian and Tanzanian stores of a major SA supermarket chain. For Malawi, cargo is fresh bread and milk. For Tanzania, it’s dairy products like yoghurt, sweet

juice and butter. All perishables are airfreighted out of OR Tambo International.

“It is cost-efficient to airfreight. We make use of the CVJ facilities in Jet Park, about five kilometres away from the airport. Their refrigerated trucks take the cargo from the cold room to the airline – SAA to Tanzania, Air Malawi to Malawi. We find the airport operations for perishables are efficient,” said Dekker, whose firm also operates out of Jet Park.

2011 volumes were about consistent with last year, and it’s been a “no news is good news” year.

“We want to expand this year – see if we can find other fresh fruit and vegetable clients,” Dekker said, now that his firm’s foreign offices are proving adept at moving such time-sensitive cargo through sometimes Byzantine customs procedures.

A new option for perishable shippers out of the Port Elizabeth area is playing out well, thanks to the commitment of port partners and carriers like MSC Shipping.

“Thanks to the foresight of our chairman Captain Salvatore Sarno in switching our vessel calls to Ngqura in October 2009 with the MSC Catania, together with TPT we have developed Ngqura into a major hub for a number of our trade lanes. I think that by doing this we have assisted our clients in the Eastern Cape by offering them this newly developed port, which has extensive reefer plug facilities. Its advantageous location has had a positive impact on their overall logistics chain requirements,” Mike Economou, director of MSC Shipping, told FTW.

The company, which recently celebrated its 40th anniversary of shipping in South Africa, also increased its reefer capacity with another milestone – it’s the second carrier in the world to have achieved 2 000 000 TEUs in vessels’ capacity.

Recent years have seen good growth in MSC’s European service, allowing the liner to become a major platform for the movement of perishables from all SA

ports to Europe, Economou noted. “This year, we have seen a downward trend to Europe as a result of the economic crisis and a stronger rand, which has placed pressure on produce pricing for the exporters. This has forced them to look at alternative markets for their produce and we have seen a shift to the Middle East, USA/Canada, Far East and Angola, where MSC has a distinct presence. We have seen good growth to these areas,” he said.

“We will continue to align our services to industry demand, and with the shift in market focus of our clients we have recently aligned our service to the Middle East and Gulf trade lane to service their needs.

Over and above this, our Jebel Ali office ensures free-flowing operations and timely connections to the Gulf region.

“The future will always present various challenges,” Economou said, “however none as important as the current problem we foresee with the RTG operations at the Port of Cape Town which become inoperative in high wind speeds, once again impacting on our service to our clients. We are presently in discussions with TPT to try to find a solution before the commencement of the dreaded south-easterly winds which will have a direct impact on all the early grapes moving to UK/Europe.”

MSC sees market shift to Middle East and Gulf

Ngqura developed into a major hub.

“Whether you run a specialised export perishable operation or are a general cargo agent, the fundamental requirements of your forwarding and clearing IT systems remain the same,” says Glenn Lawson of software house Core Freight Systems.

Reliability, ease of use, Sars compliance – both currently and in terms of their ongoing modernisation programme – are all key to supporting a forward-thinking operator.

“In developing and enhancing the Core Freight application we have always tried to look at the solution from a number of perspectives,” says Lawson. “From the operator viewpoint we strive to deliver a consistent logical process-flow across all functions, affording the user the opportunity to concentrate on the actual work to be done, rather than mastering complex menu structures in order to frame an entry.

“For management this means that existing staff may be easily cross-skilled while new staff learn the application very quickly. In addition to this there are comprehensive audit trails to review the status of processing and validation checks to minimise the incorrect input and

reduce the chance of entry rejection by Sars,” he added.

Through the CoreXchange functionality there is the potential for the efficient interface of data, removing the requirement for re-keying of information by the individuals processing a file, saving time and ensuring data accuracy, Lawson explained.

“The management control features are, however, not limited to the Customs interaction. Comprehensive file-accounting, with advanced credit control, provide a sophisticated mechanism to manage the recoverable/disbursement issue and clearly analyse the ultimate profitability on a file.”

Farmers are the biggest losers when it comes to inefficiencies in the perishable transport chain, says Syd Munsamy of Durban-based Sydtrans.

“We load direct from the farm – the smallest farmer can keep 20 to 30 pallets. We have a fleet of trucks and we keep the fruit at temp and take it straight to port for export. That’s the best way. But the problem is the farmer is getting the bad end of the stick all the time. Direct is cheaper – no cartons go missing, no cartons get damaged, there are no cold storage fees – but farmers need to be educated about this. Right now too many people are getting paid along the way,” said Munsamy.

Most farmers still have their wares waylaid at cold storage facilities, where the fate of their shipments is in the hands of port operations.

“The citrus industry has grown sizeably over the past three to four years, and our port in Durban doesn’t have enough equipment to load containers. I believe they are working on putting in 7000 (reefer) plugs, but it should have been done five years ago. They should have planned ahead knowing year-on-year volume. So, the farmers’ pallets are held in cold store, and the farmer has to pay extra. There is congestion at the port. Four or five years ago we loaded more volume. There’s a snowball effect when the stacks are not opened on time – clearing and forwarding agents, transporters, and finally the shippers, the farmers, end up with the bill,” Munsamy said.

Although Maputo has been mooted as a means to relieve Durban congestion, particularly for citrus, Munsamy has been an observer long enough to report, “If you look at it realistically, there is not adequate

equipment for breakbulk, and not very much reefer capacity. Seven or eight years ago they said Maputo would overtake Durban. We’re still waiting. The (Mozambique) government wants private investors to put in money, but what guarantees are there that they’ll get a return on their investment?”

Farm-to-port service cuts cost and inefficiency Grapefruit are proving to be South

Africa’s perishables star performers in 2011, with shipped volumes thus far in the export season surpassing those sent out for the whole of last year.

According to the latest PPECB statistics, 13,2m 15 kg cartons of grapefruit have been shipped from South Africa’s ports to foreign markets. In 2010 10,4m cartons were shipped.

Growers are optimistic that the best is yet to come. They have revised upward their original 2011 estimate that 14,7m cartons would be exported. The figure is now 15,7m cartons.

But the cost of shipping fruit remains as troublesome to exporters’ bottom lines as the continuing strength of the rand.

A production and logistics cost trend analysis earlier this year reported that the average SAR freight all-in rate was R1 250 per pallet in 2006 and 2007. Following the 2008 oil price hike the freight all-in rate is currently averaging R1 750 per pallet – a R500 per pallet increase and R7 per carton (70 cartons per pallet).

Taking matters into your own hands is one attractive option for shippers to ensure control over transport and customs variables and safe passage for valuable perishable cargo.

Farmers associated with the Western Cape Citrus Producers’ Forum found that access to the lucrative US market was eased by chartering their own vessels. Growers and exporters felt they could not rely on container shipping lines only, due to the volume exported over the season. The terminals in New York cannot handle such a vast volume of containers per vessel to meet exacting US regulations.

“This is the tenth year running that we’ve chartered vessels. I am on the logistics committee for the forum, and we put out a tender for a company to bring in vessels that would adhere to the very strict US protocols. It’s a very difficult market to bring your product in – more stringent than even Japan. Obviously, we get good returns there, and we’ve become dependent on that,” said Rowan Van der Vyver of WP Fresh Distributors, a fruit distribution and exporting firm in Somerset West.

A vessel transporting perishables to the US requires approval from the US Department of Agriculture.

“The USA agricultural department sends out inspectors to South Africa in the citrus season to work alongside our department of agriculture to do inspections. The fruit is inspected prior to shipment to the US. We pack it in consignments and a certain percentage has to be inspected. We only ship Western Cape, Northern Cape and Orange River citrus to the US because only these areas are free of citrus black spot,” Van der Vyver said.

Most of the US citrus is shipped breakbulk, with a small percentage in containers. Other fruit products are shipped by companies in containers throughout the year, going

under the same US protocols but sent on regular trade lines. According to Van der Vyver, South Africa sends its superior quality of crops to the USA to benefit from the returns from this market.

Describing his firm as a “smaller shipper,” he says the company ships in excess of 400 containers a year filled with a variety of SA fruits.

The past stonefruit/grape peak season, November to January, was a much slower season than previous years, according to Van der Vyver. Recession, oil price, rate of exchange and extreme weather were all factors. “In previous years we did quite a few airfreight shipments to the UK but this past season

we went down from 50 shipments last year to three due to the high cost of fuel,” he said.

“Our biggest market after the USA is the Middle East. We ship out of most South African ports on the Far East route, and most of the shipments go to the Persian Gulf as well as Saudi Arabia – all the popular destinations where there is a strong demand for South African fruits,” Van der Vyver said.

The perishable market is a lucrative field for transporters who have mastered this speciality, and continues to draw firms willing to invest in reefer technology.

With the economic recovery accelerating locally and globally, the urge to expand into perishable cargo movement seems more logical for firms like Johannesburg-based Land and Sea Shipping.

“Yes, there definitely is more business happening in

perishables although it’s a very tough market to break into,” said Siva Pather, chairman of Land and Sea Shipping.

Pather’s company, whose goal is to become one of SA’s leading black-owned shipping firms, has plans to enter the perishables market.

“It’s a big step for us. Currently, our main line is dry containers into the Far East, out of Cape Town and Durban. We have been doing bulk cargo, breakbulk and containerised cargo. But with the economy picking up and our volumes increasing, we feel the

time is right to spread our wings into perishables,” said Pather.

Land and Sea Shipping has done its homework on the challenges that perishable shippers face, and is preparing to contend with them.

“The ports have good infrastructure, although traffic is still a bit slow. But people tend to overcome that,” Pather said.

Shippers of durable goods cross-border face aggravations enough with customs delays, but for perishable shippers such hiccups can ruin a cargo shipment.

“There are many changes in customs procedures. Perishables are particularly sensitive to this because when you’re dealing with such cargo it’s very important to know that your software is always up to date with the latest changes from customs,” said Nachi Mendelow of Compu-Clearing, which offers perishable shippers

computer software that assists with the smooth passage of goods through border crossings.

“When we provide software for perishable shippers, it starts with understanding the customer’s unique requirements. We offer systems specific to them. For instance, a big part of perishable shipping is the tracking of the goods – where they are and when they need to get to where they must be. Our software’s Trade and Track facility allows users to track shipments from the beginning to the end of the journey and, most importantly, allows

users to communicate with all parties involved in the movement of the goods. The programme also allows for the pre-shipment calculation of landed costs. The cCloud System allows shippers to submit all supporting documents to Customs electronically, further helping to reduce delays,” said Mendelow.

Having in place one key document required for perishables, the Phyto-sanitary certificate, ensures smooth passage through the border. The alternative is product-damaging delays. Compu-Clearing’s system allows shippers to produce the certificate as needed.

“All entries can be electronically submitted to Customs via EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) and users who deal with Customs in Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia and Swaziland benefit from our system’s integration into those countries’ Asycuda systems. The shipper who does a bill of entry in South Africa is able to transfer all the data from the Compu-Clearing system into the Asycuda System to allow for the quick production of the bill of entry on the other side of the border. Not only is this quite a time saver, but there is another important benefit. It’s an accuracy guarantee because whatever is entered

in one system is reflected in the other system,” says Mendelow.

Compu-Clearing also offers a full guarantee on the bill of entry, even against consequential losses. If an entry comes out wrong due to a system error, and there is a penalty, Compu-Clearing will pick up the penalty. If there is no penalty but there is a consequential loss, such as storage or demurrage, Compu-Clearing will pick up these costs.

“We guarantee our software, as well as public information data, duty rates, permit requirements and exchange rates (Customs),” said Mendelow.

The strength of the rand against the US dollar combined with international weather upheavals and other emergencies played a key role in the fates of shippers of SA perishable products this past year.

“The season was reasonable, considering that the rand was still strong against the dollar. The rate of exchange is not conducive to exports,” said Mike Froy, divisional CEO for Grindrod Perishable Cargo Agents.

“There have been challenges,” said Froy. We had the volcanic ash which closed airports for a week in 2010, and particularly bad weather in Europe also caused airports to close for a week late last year.

This year there has been a ban on meat exports due to an outbreak of ‘foot and mouth’ disease which lasted six weeks. The Japanese tsunami had an impact on lobster exports – and Japan is a key market.”

Grindrod PCA, which specialises in the import and export of perishable products primarily by air, nonetheless looked beyond the impact of the year’s natural disasters and branched out to offer a key new service. “GPCA entered the seafreight market in June 2010,” said Froy.

For the year ahead, perishables shippers cannot predict natural calamities, but are anticipating the effect of the exchange rate.

“It is difficult to predict how the 2011 season will

‘pan out’. Recessionary conditions prevail in Europe, which is leading to reduced orders. The

rand remains strong, which is a big factor regarding exports,” he said.

“It sometimes makes

sense to rather supply locally if the returns (on exports) are not great,” Froy said.

Quality of SA fruit is a determining factor for increasing exports, and a coherent cold chain is required for maintaining that quality. An erratic power supply has the potential to reverse export progress, making the electrical generator the perishable shipper’s essential tool.

“I think it’s the quality of fruit that is boosting exports, and refrigeration is making a big difference to the quality of fruit headed for the Far East, America and other markets,” said Dave Pretorius, director of Generator and Plant Hire SA.

“Some companies stipulate that the cargo has to be refrigerated, and that’s where we come in. The export market is growing and growing, and

we grow with it. We rent out a generator that fits under the truck that transports perishables. At the moment we are running 120-odd generators on trucks, up 20% from last year when we ran 85 units,” said Pretorius.

Generator hire is seasonal, and depends on the fragility of a particular crop.

“Grape season (in summer) is very good for us. November to the end of February is peak time. We are fully booked those months,” said Pretorius, while winter months bring citrus crops that can be less dependent on refrigeration.

Back on the farm where the cold chain starts, growers also need consistent refrigeration for their harvested products at packing time. Back-up generators available for rental at GPHSA have an output from 20 KVA to

1000 KVA. Generators for purchase are available from 10 KVA to 2000 KVA.

“We supply stand-by generators in case the power supply is unreliable. It’s very busy over the fruit season. But the season is so short that to purchase for just that period, the user finds it’s more profitable just to hire,” Pretorius said.

Growing demand for gensets

Enhancing co-operation in the fields of mining, trade, energy and agriculture formed the basis of talks between President Jacob Zuma and his Tanzanian counterpart, Jakaya Kikwete, who was in South Africa late last month.

Issues of co-operation at a regional level, especially within SADC, and other matters affecting the continent were also high on the agenda.

South Africa and Tanzania have strong economic links. SA is the third largest exporter to Tanzania, with a market share of 9.63%, according to BuaNews.

However, the trade balance

between the two countries shows South Africa’s exports to Tanzania went from R3.5 billion in 2009 to R3.1 billion in 2010.

On the other hand, the picture shows imports from Tanzania growing by almost 100% from R236 million in 2009 to R464 million in 2010.

South African exports to Tanzania consist predominantly of manufactured goods while imports from Tanzania are mainly gold, coffee, cashew nuts and cotton.

Given the good port infrastructure available at Port Elizabeth, port inefficiency is not only a frustration to users but in the long term could threaten the provincial economy by prompting discouraged PE port users to switch to Cape Town.

“The port, the shipping lines, the cold storage companies, we all have to read from the same page. We absolutely rely on the efficiency of the port, and the port relies on everyone else’s efficiency. We must fight not to have the fruit that now moves out of PE sent to Cape Town. Cape Town offers competitive rates when you factor in

the waits at PE,” said Len Cowley, assistant manager of cold storage at PE Cold Storage.

An admitted booster of Port Elizabeth’s port infrastructure, Cowley says, is Ngqura port. “In my lifetime and my children’s lifetimes I don’t think we’ll ever see another man-made port built from scratch.” While he is proud of this achievement, he is critical of the shortcomings that are hobbling PE port operations.

“Right now (July) we are slap bang in the middle of the citrus export year. The crop is fine but the weather at PE harbour is a problem. Everything gets blamed on the weather, but I feel it’s

not always the reason,” he says.

A shortage of reefer plug-in points is one problem. “Today again there is nothing available. So our customers’ shipments are kept here in cold storage. That causes bottlenecks. I’m not a control freak but I hate it when things are completely out of control. We are able to handle 100 containers a day, but with all the restrictions it could be seven on one day and 150 the next day. There’s no consistency. I can handle anything but inefficiency. In my ten years on this job this has been the worst in terms of logistics,” Cowley said.

He quickly adds, “Every year at peak time I ask

myself ‘Why?’ But once this business gets into your blood you can’t get

it out – everything else seems to move in slow motion.”

Inconsistency threatens PE’s reefer growth

The transport infrastructure in rural SA is so poor that the price of commodities moved in and out of these areas is hammered by road haulage costs and no rail alternatives.

Information from the recent SA Transport Conference indicated that this logistics cost was about 40%-60% – pushing up the transport price for agricultural products distributed around the country or to export gateways well above the average rate, measured at 16% of the gross domestic product (GDP).

Research by economist Jan Havenga published in the SA Journal of Economics showed that SA’s logistics costs were much higher than the global average.

The majority of these costs were attributable to road transport, he said, of which the biggest cost driver was fuel, which in turn was determined by volatile oil prices – which have remained in the US$112-120-per-barrel range despite it being the lower demand period of the northern hemisphere summer.

“This poses a significant exogenous risk to logistics cost management in SA,” added Havenga. “The risk can be mitigated through a structural adjustment in long-distance freight transport from road dominated to rail dominated.”

But, the transport conference was told, the railways infrastructure needs to be vastly improved because it is hindering the cost-efficient movement of products –

particularly bulk products like commodities.

High logistics costs are continuing to hurt South Africa’s competitiveness, according to the State of Logistics survey, conducted by CSIR and Imperial Logistics.

It said that logistics costs made SA products more expensive in the global market place, which, added Imperial’s Abrie de Swardt, made the

country uncompetitive with regard to exports.

But there may be a partial answer to the excessive road transport costs in rural farming areas, which could benefit agricultural products by improving the dilapidated condition of the road network.

Deputy transport minister, Jeremy Cronin, said that R6-billion had been ring- fenced to upgrade rural roads.

Poor rural roads push up agricultural logistics costs

The Fresh Produce Exporters’ Forum and the Citrus Growers’ Association are planning to set up a joint meeting between exporters from southern Africa and importers in Russia on the fringes of the World Food Moscow Show to be held from September 13-16.

The idea is to discuss the citrus trade and share information and experiences.

Opportunities for a South African stand at the show are also being investigated.

Further information is available from the FPEF or the CGA.

The goal of easing congestion at the Port of Durban by encouraging SA perishable shippers to use Maputo Port is in the hands of the citrus growers of Mpumalanga and Swaziland, the only sizeable fruit exporters whose proximity to Maputo and current use of Durban could make an impact if they were to alter their shipping routes. Drawbacks like Maputo port infrastructure, language challenges and ethical problems (read “a culture of bribery”) are reportedly improving. Shipping lines’ willingness to increase service has also been key.

“We have listened to our citrus grower clients in Mpumalanga who are now able

to move their cargo through the port of Maputo where we have a regular service,” Mike Economou, director of MSC Shipping told FTW.

Producing 0.6m tons of export citrus last year or 63% of SA’s northern regions’ citrus production, the Maputo Corridor (comprising the areas of Malelane, Jeppes Reef, Karino, Nelspruit, Hazyview, Hoedspruit and Letsitele) could export 0.5m tons of citrus through Maputo annually to buyers in the Far East, Middle East, Europe, the UK, Russia and Mediterranean countries. No wonder MSC and other shipping lines have noticed this potential movement.

Syd Munsamy, whose firm Sydtrans hauls perishable crops from farms to Durban and is located in that port city,

is eyeing developments at the port to the north. “Limitations in the reefer capacity at Maputo is still a drawback. There is not adequate equipment for breakbulk,” he said.

For savings to shippers, that shortage will have to be addressed. As indicated at a Maputo Port Development and Planning Workshop held in Nelspruit in April, growers are agitating for action.

“All areas within a 200km (North Swaziland, Malelane, Karino and Nelspruit) radius of Maputo are guaranteed to achieve a better CIF deal to Europe breakbulk over loading containers through Durban,” one workshop report noted.

Indeed, research presented at the workshop showed that “the Maputo Citrus Corridor

could achieve an average of R3.00 a carton saving by transporting citrus to Maputo rather than Durban. The Maputo Citrus Corridor is transporting on average an extra 480km to Durban over Maputo. The northern region transports 14.75 million truck kilometres to Durban and only 0.5 million truck kilometres to Maputo. It has been determined that this would be costing the northern region’s growers R80m each year.”

Before they commit to

Maputo over Durban, shippers want more efficient and cost-effective transport along the Maputo Corridor to the port, better customs document control (in particular the transhipped phyto through Mozambique) and a weekly breakbulk service to Europe and Russia as well as container lines on direct call to such key but currently not serviced citrus markets as the Middle East. Reefer technical backup is also required to prevent equipment breakdown.

The first six months of 2011 have not been kind to South Africa’s fruit export industry, according to Safmarine’s newly appointed Reefer Executive, John Mac Donald.

“Growers have had to contend with unfavourable weather conditions, including extreme heat, heavy rain, hail and flooding while shippers have been negatively impacted by a strong rand and tough competition from other markets.

“The high bunker fuel prices in 2011 have also contributed to increased pressure on all parties’ bottom line, compounding an already difficult season. Not surprisingly, container volumes for fruit exports were down for the first six month of 2011, compared to 2010.”

Mac Donald, who succeeded Greg Rohrs as Safmarine’s Reefer Executive in June this year, says

the industry also had to accommodate poor schedule reliability at certain times on certain services as a result of the implementation of the new Navis IT system at the Durban Container Terminal (DCT).

Overall, the highly competitive conditions experienced in South Africa’s traditional markets have encouraged South African fruit exporters to look elsewhere, particularly the Middle East.

Says Mac Donald: “While volumes to northern Europe are down, year on year, we have seen an opposite trend in the Africa and Far East markets, and exports to the Med and North America are showing a positive growth trend.”

Mac Donald – who has been involved with Safmarine’s reefer business for the past 14 years – heads a highly experienced Safmarine reefer team that comprises Charlie

De Cooker as National Reefer Capacity/Operations Manager (with more than 35 years with Safmarine); Jaco Visagie as National Reefer Manager/Key Account Owner and Maria Webster, National Reefer

Import/Export Manager. Together the team have over 67 years of service with Safmarine.

“I am excited to be at the helm of this team, a team which believes in the

Safmarine way of doing business and which is determined to go the extra mile to understand what our customers need from us and to do whatever we can to deliver on those expectations.”

Transnet National Ports Authority must take responsibility for growing the South African ports business, as it has abdicated this task to Transnet Port Terminals for far too long.

Speaking at a recent transport forum in Port Elizabeth, TNPA CEO Tau Morwe said that for far too long they had not been focused on growing their business. “When last did we introduce a new terminal?” he asked. “We only have an acting leader in place and about three people in the division that are tasked with growing our business. It is the Port Authority’s job to sell the ports and their efficiency to the world.”

He said when the Port of

Singapore marketed itself to the world they marketed Singapore. “The same can be said of many of the ports in the world. In South Africa, though, we have abdicated this role to TPT. They are the operators and we should not forget that.”

According to Morwe, the Eastern Cape was in the unique position that it had two ports in the region, creating a competitive advantage. “We as TNPA should be going out and telling the world about this and about what is happening here. We should use it to our advantage to create more volume and throughput here.”

He said the last great act of TNPA was the building of Ngqura. “We should realise that we have the unique opportunity to position South Africa

as a maritime hub in the global sense and the Port of Ngqura plays a critical role in that. It is why we are taking a more focused approach and strategy in 2011 and 2012. It is a team effort between us and our stakeholders. There is no sense in building this expensive infrastructure and then saying it is not our responsibility if it is not working properly. We can’t pass the buck any more.”

Morwe said it was important to look at the big picture when deciding on projects to ensure an integrated ports system. “As a country we are soon going to need to import gas, and for that we will need a new terminal, but we can’t just put one up. We have to look at where will be the most

effective place. We have to reach a point where we are making the right investments in the right places at the right times.”

He said it was all about creating the ports as integrated gateways for trade that would see South Africa reach a greater potential.

An integrated logistics chain is the way of the future – where trucks are not competitors of rail, but rather work with rail to deliver goods.

This is according to Tim Lehman, director of station development of Deutsche Bahn International in Germany, who says that it is about being able to offer a door-to-door service with rail being the core mover of freight.

“Trucks become the feeders, as they are more flexible when it comes to delivery to small entities in areas where trains cannot go. Rail, however, should be delivering to the bigger customers directly and rail links should be established within their premises.”

Call to postpone emissions deadlineEuropean Union strategies to cut greenhouse gas emissions from ships will not move freight away from trucks to waterborne transport as desired, but increase truck volumes, said the European Shippers’ Council.

Because of this, the council has called on the European Commission to postpone the emissions deadline for another five years to 2020.

US imports show a dropUS imports decreased 7.4% year-on-year in June, according to Zepol Corporation, a trade intelligence firm.

But year-to-date, American import volume was up 4.8%, it added.

There were nearly 6% fewer shipments from Asia, noted American Shipper.

Free on Board or FOB (named port of shipment) Incoterms®2010 is the ninth of 11 Incoterms (it is always plural) for the class “Rules for Sea and Inland Waterway Transport”. According to the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), in “the second class of Incoterms®2010 rules, the point of delivery and the place to which the goods are carried to the buyer are both ports, hence the label ‘sea and inland waterway’ rules”.

The ICC’s Incoterms®2010 identifies 10 obligations that the seller might need to fulfil in terms of Free on Board or FOB: (1) general obligations of the seller; (2) licences, authorisations, security clearances and other formalities; (3) contracts of carriage and insurance; (4) delivery; (5) transfer of risks; (6) allocation of costs; (7) notices to the buyer; (8) delivery document; (9) checking, packaging, marking; and (10) assistance with information and related costs.

The general obligations of the seller are essentially the provision of goods and the commercial invoice in conformity with the contract of sale, which implies that the documents stipulated in the contract of sale must be provided.

In respect of the licences, authorisations, security clearances and formalities, the seller must obtain such at its own risk and expense, and also must carry out the customs formalities necessary for the export of the goods.

With respect to the contact of carriage and the contract of insurance, the seller has no

obligation, however the seller could assist the buyer at its request and expense.

For the delivery to be effected the seller must place the goods on board the vessel nominated by the buyer at the loading point. The seller bears all risks of loss of or damage to the goods until it has been delivered.

As for the allocation of costs, the seller must pay all costs until the goods have been delivered, and, where applicable, costs of customs formalities. The seller must, at the buyer’s risk and expense, give notice to the buyer that the goods have been delivered. The seller must, at its own expense, provide the buyer with proof that the goods have been delivered.

With respect to the checking, packaging, marking, the seller must pay those costs that are necessary for the purpose of the delivery of the goods, as well as the costs of any pre-shipment inspection mandated by the authority in the country of origin.

As for the assistance with information (including security-related information) and related costs, the buyer could request such from the seller, but this would be for the buyer’s risk and account.

In next week’s issue we will define Free on Board (FOB) – The Buyer’s Obligations.

We do not accept any liability of whatsoever nature for any loss, damage, costs or expenses suffered or incurred as a result of any person or entity acting or refraining from acting as a result of any material in this publication.

a domino effect through the single-currency zone and result in a second global financial meltdown.

In its starkest warning yet that Greece has the potential to replicate the system-wide shock triggered by the collapse of Lehman Brothers in

September 2008, the IMF told Europe’s policymakers to stop squabbling over the terms of a bailout and act immediately to prevent contagion.

At FTW’s request, Doig examined the Eurozone crisis, and its possible impact on our own home soil in SA.

“The ongoing concerns about debt sustainability in mainly the Mediterranean states of Greece, Italy, Portugal and Spain certainly pose threats,” he said, “either to those conducting direct business with them or indirectly via shocks to financial markets.”

The EU is SA’s largest export destination, accounting for around 23.5% of total exports. Germany (see table) ranks as the fourth largest individual destination with Italy and Spain attracting R5.3-billion

and R3.7-bn respectively of SA exports in the first five months of 2011.

“While most of the attention has been focused on problems in Greece and Portugal,” Doig added, “their export relevance is far lower, and the shift in attention to Italy and Spain – the third and fourth largest

Eurozone economies – is more concerning.”

“The issue at hand is contagion,” he told FTW. “Concerns around Greece and Portugal’s ability to service their debt implies that debt costs for other countries shoot up as fear takes hold.”

introduced by Transnet National Ports Authority in the late 90s to encourage more black participation in the country’s ports.

According to Tau Morwe, Chief Executive of Transnet National Ports Authority, the achievements of the three illustrated the successes of the port authority’s maritime sector, which used to be closed off to the historically disadvantaged, including women, but this is changing as women are now found across all levels of the country’s maritime sector, from crane operators to senior executives.

Dube from Inanda Newtown was the first female to qualify with an open licence and said she was very excited when told of her historic achievement.

“The captains of foreign ships can be very sceptical when you’re a woman

because it’s not common for them to see a female marine pilot, although I’ve heard there are a few in the United States and possibly Australia,” she said.

Mbambo, 29, is originally from Esikhawini on the North Coast of KZN but now lives in Glenwood, Durban. She laughs when she recalls the amazement of the captain of the first

vessel she guided in after qualifying as an open licence pilot recently.

“The captain actually took photographs and recorded a video while I was performing my job alongside him. It was very funny,” she says.

Zungu was the latest to qualify and echoed the proud sentiments of her peers.

Precious Dube and Pinky Zungu… Africa’s first black, female marine pilots.
