‘Ngqura has limited hub potential’ MSC to substitute PE call on SA -Europe service

By Alan Peat Dreaming the impossible dream.

That describes Transnet’s aspirations about the future potential at the new deepwater port of Ngqura in the Eastern Cape, according to Salvatore Sarno, chairman of MSC – the first line to allot commercial containership

calls to the port.

Transnet’s high hopes about Ngqura becoming a multi-million container hub port are no more than a dream, he told FTW. “We have accepted to help Transnet develop this new port,” he added. “And I had some of their representatives in Geneva, Switzerland, some weeks ago to meet our

president, Gianluigi Aponte, who explained to them that Ngqura could not be a major hub, no matter what they think.

“You can do some transhipment there, but not up to the big dream of Transnet.”

Ngqura’s location is just all wrong.

According to Sarno, in the

worldwide container market, the generator that drives the numbers of containers in any region of the globe is the number of consumers it contains.

If you look at the eastwest trade belt in the northern hemisphere – stretching from China and the rest of Asia, through Europe to the US – you have

many hundreds of millions of consumers, and therefore millions of containers.

But in the southern hemisphere belt of South America Africa and Australasia, you maybe have 200 million true consumers “at the very most”, Sarno suggested.

There is, therefore, only To page 20

“We have had a longtime commitment to contemporary arts,” she said, “and have recognised that graffiti is the foundation and inspiration of many artists.

“We find it important to give young artists a chance to present their art, and therefore offered the NileDutch Kwanza as a canvas.

“NileDutch values graffiti as progressive, modern and active – values that the line itself strives for.”

Ship watchers were treated to a floating artists’ canvas sailing into the Port of Durban when the NileDutch Kwanza arrived recently, having been painted by graffiti artists at its regular ports of call.

A total of 47 artists from The Netherlands, Belgium, France and Portugal transformed the hull of the ship into this mega piece of graffiti.

DUTY CALLS A weekly summary of the main changes to the South African tariff dispensation and amendments to customs and

Sacu/Mercosur Sign Trade Agreement The Common Market of the South (Mercosur) and the Southern African Customs Union (Sacu) have signed a Preferential Trade Agreement.

Mercosur comprises the Argentine Republic, the Republic of Brazil, the Republic of Paraguay and the Oriental Republic of Uruguay and Sacu the Republic of Botswana, the Kingdom of Lesotho, the Republic of Namibia, the Republic of South Africa and the Kingdom of Swaziland.

Article 2 of the Agreement provides for the establishment of fixed preference margins as a first step towards the creation of a Free Trade Area (FTA) between Mercosur and Sacu.

Demystifying Customs Valuation – Part 01 – Legislation Arguably the most talked about customs issue in recent weeks has been “customs

valuation”. The amendments to the provisions of the Customs and Excise Act (the Act) in respect of customs valuation proved again just how important it is for companies to be proactive. Although these changes were first mentioned in the Government Gazette of 08 January 2009, but only introduced on 01 October 2009, their introduction still surprised a number of practitioners.

Following the questions we received, we felt there would be real value in explaining the concept of customs valuation, based on a South African Revenue (Sars) publication titled “Frequently Asked Questions – Customs Valuations”.

Let’s start at the beginning, with the Legislation and Rules administered by Sars. Before reading any further can you name the sections to the Act and the rules that apply?

They are Sections 39A, 41, 65, 66, 67, 71,72, 73, 74 and 74A, 77A to 77H, and Rules

excise legislation. Compiled by Tariff & Trade Intelligence.

39.04, 41.01, 41.02, 41.03, 41.04, 41.05, 65.01, 65.02, 65.03, 66.01, 66.02, 66.03, 66.04, 66.05 and 77H. You will no doubt recall that these sections are based on an international agreement to which South Africa is a signatory – the World Trade Organisation (WTO) Agreement on Implementation of Article VII of the GATT 1994.

To start us on our way, we need to consider “actual value”, which is defined as “the price at which such or like goods are sold for export to South Africa, or offered for sale in the ordinary course of trade under fully competitive conditions. To the extent to which the price of such or like goods is governed by quantity in a particular transaction, the price to be considered should uniformly be related to either: (a) Comparable quantities; or (b) Quantities not less favourable to importers than those in which the greater volume of the imported goods

is sold in the trade between the countries of exportation and importation”.

If you want to derive maximum benefit from future columns, please look up the headings of the sections and rules to the Act. If you don’t have access to these then send us an email and we will forward you the relevant documentation.

SA truck driver jailed following fatal accident in Swaziland

By James Hall Road carnage continues in Swaziland due to a poorly designed national highway combined with a lack of vehicle inspection.

Two SA-registered trucks were involved in fatal accidents last week on Malagwane Hill outside Mbabane, and in an application of justice unusually swift for Swaziland, an SA driver last week was sentenced

to a four-year imprisonment on charges of culpable homicide.

This after his vehicle ploughed into a kombi transporting the national soccer team, Sihlangu, critically injuring several players and killing a star striker.

The SA-registered vehicle involved in an accident at the same approximate location the next day also went out of control following brake failure.

In both incidents traffic

into Mbabane was halted for several hours.

The situation has drawn attention to infrastructure limitations and a lack of vehicle inspection in the country.

At a cost of R1.5bn, the new bypass road skirting Mbabane does not also bypass accident-prone Malagwane Hill, but connects at the top of the sharply descending switchback road.

Walvis hits record handling speed The Port of Walvis Bay in FTW, requiring advanced Namibia has just hit a record planning and co-ordination container handling speed of between the port operations 40 moves per hour, working department and that of the two Maersk vessels calling line. at the harbour, according to Namport achieved yet Agnetha Mouton, business another record in the exercise, development officer of the for the first time using four Walvis Bay Corridor Group. mobiles cranes at the same This is a first ever in the time on each vessel. history of the Namibian Ports In the case of the Maersk Week_220x150.ai 12:05:19 AM Authority ey_Cargo_F&T (Namport), she told Jena, a9/18/09 total of 463 containers

FTW1795SD

were moved – with a vessel turnaround in seven hours.

For the Maersk Pembroke, the port moved 836 containers within 14 hours of vessel arrival.

“In order to attract more shipping lines to Walvis Bay it is important that the port focus on continuously improving efficiencies,” said Mouton.

One road transporter noted:- “They missed a golden opportunity to build around this danger spot, but inexplicably ignored the chance. They’ve spent so much money on this bypass it will be a generation before they return.”

Another shortcoming is the absence of alternative routes into the city, or emergency ramps for out-ofcontrol vehicles.

The result is that while the costly and lengthy construction of the Mbabane Bypass Road was intended to make traffic flow swifter from the Oshoek Border Post to the Matsapha Industrial Estate and Manzini, the reality is that the old Malagwane Hill section remains a bottleneck at the best of times and a serious impediment to commercial freight haulage when accidents occur.

The Port of Walvis Bay achieved a record container handling speed of 40 moves per hour.

Gama suspension is the latest in a long history of executive instability at the rail utility

By Alan Peat A scan through the FTW archives revealed that being an executive at Transnet Freight Rail (TFR) – Spoornet as was – is not a very secure position.

Either that, or TFR/ Spoornet has not made too good a job of selecting its senior management in the last decade.

This follows the latest management suspension – where Siyabonga Gama, CE of TFR, is facing allegations of procurement irregularities.

These included the allocation of a 50-locomotive refurbishing contract to Sibanye Trade Services – despite the company reportedly lacking any experience in this field. Gama is also said to have awarded a R19-million contract to a security firm with

alleged links to minister of communications, Siphiwe Nyanda – while only having authority to sign off on contracts worth less than R10-m.

Gama was certainly a top-notcher in management terms, being one of five candidates in the running for Transnet's top post of group CE. The internal disciplinary hearing will now carry on, after the Johannesburg High Court last week dismissed (with costs) Gama’s application to have his suspension lifted.

Transnet’s comment on the court ruling by Judge Brian Spilg was that it welcomed the end of what it described as a “painful and disruptive” episode.

Spokesman John Dludlu said: “The disciplinary hearing will now take its course with an independent chairman.”

In turn, Gama has been

publicly alleging that the whole affair was a result of political machinations against him.

And disciplinary hearings into allegations of mismanagement and corruption are nothing new

‘Gama was certainly a top-notcher in management terms, being one of five candidates in the running for Transnet's top post of group CE.’ at TFR/Spoornet.

Our dig in the archives went back to 2002, when we reported that a fullscale investigation into alleged irregularities at Spoornet relating to bribery and corruption in the provision of its services was under way – conducted

by Transnet’s forensic department, assisted by

an external firm Gobodo Forensics.

At the same time, in February, Harry Mashele, GM commercial of Spoornet, was suspended on paid leave for the duration of the investigation – a move instigated by the-then Spoornet CEO, Zandile Jakavula.

The issues related to the pricing of contracts, the allocation of rolling stock, and customers allegedly being told that they could only deal with Spoornet via certain designated third party logistics companies, for which Spoornet staff were allegedly receiving kickbacks.

The suspension was lifted in April when Mashele assumed the post of GM for joint ventures and restructuring – and two months later he was cleared of all allegations of irregularities against him

after he received a letter from Transnet CE of the time, Mafika Mkwanazi, stating that the allegations “have been found to be without substance”.

However, the name Mashele returns to the limelight some two years later in this sorrowful management saga.

But accompanying this, his opposition, Zandile Jakavula, was also in the spotlight – being suspended in early June, 2002, on allegations of improper practices concerning the sale of Spoornet houses. Something for which Spoornet’s head of property management, Chain Vilazaki, was also suspended.

In August, Jakavula was removed from his post as CE and relieved of the holiday house he had purchased in Port Alfred – and shunted

down the Spoornet line to the position of human resources general manager.

The man who assisted him, Vilakazi, was demoted to another senior managerial position.

Transnet dismissed Jakavula after his failure to accept the demotion – and all this led to an out-ofcourt settlement between Transnet and Jakavula two years later.

Then, in September of that fateful 2002, another senior Spoornet official was suspended from his

job, bringing to six the number of executives who had faced similar fates that year. Thomas Mabece, senior manager in the asset protection services, was suspended – on reasons which were described by Spoornet as “internal”, but were understood to involve the awarding of tenders without the correct procedures having been followed.

Moving on to November 2004, FTW reported that Spoornet CEO Dolly Mokgatle had revealed

that national operation centre GM Ravi Nair and corporate affairs GM Harry Mashele (that name again) had been suspended indefinitely with full pay.

At the same time, human capital GM Nkia Ntladi was suspended, only two weeks after being appointed, for gross misrepresentation of his credentials.

Through December 2004 into January 2005 and no decision on the fate of three suspended senior managers was forthcoming,

FTW was told.

Then Transnet’s rail utility was dealt another blow in February by the sudden resignation of CEO Dolly Mokgatle after just 18 months in office.

No reason was given for her sudden departure, but failure to deliver appeared to be a central issue, evident from a statement issued by the then minister of public enterprises, Alec Erwin on her resignation.

Media speculation also suggested a possible rift between Mokgatle and

FTW1807SD

FTW1806SD

then Transnet CEO Maria Ramos.

It was also that February that the fate of Mashele and Nair were decided.

After almost three years in the misconduct limelight, suspended head of corporate affairs Harry Mashele was finally fired while Ravi Nair was reinstated as head of the national operating centre.

Spoornet considered the investigation to be an internal matter and would not comment any further on the issue, spokesman Molatwane Likhethe told FTW. According to our archives, there has been relative mismanagement silence at the para-statal railway company until this most recent episode involving their top man, Siyabonga Gama. We await the results of the hearing for the next part of the on-going saga.

‘Labour broking ban would be detrimental to the industry’ Employers now have a choice of top talent

By Alan Peat A part of the recruitment agency market is currently under threat, with pressure on the SA government to ban labour broking in this country – a move that could affect the temporary employment market handled by the agencies, according to Sabina Botti, marketing manager for Lee Botti & Associates.

“The tight market has resulted in more candidates being forced to look for employment and consequently more choice being available to clients,” she told FTW. “This has resulted in a decrease in asking salaries, with

applicants having to be more flexible and realistic in terms of their remuneration expectations. Many are willing to take a steep drop in income to secure the job, with salary reviews after the probation period is successfully completed.”

And, with the recession taking a serious toll on job vacancies, more applicants than ever before are accepting temporary and contractual positions, Botti added.

“Our association is currently involved in intense discussions with government regarding labour broking,” she said, “and the possible ban of the temporary employment services industry.

“This would be detrimental to the industry as well as the economy. It would limit newcomers joining the workforce as well as the recently retrenched returning to the job market, learning new skills and lowering the levels of unemployment in this country.”

It would also hit another, extremely popular service offered by the temp market.

Said Botti: “By passing this legislation client companies who currently bring in outsourced staff when peak periods hit will no longer be allowed to do this.”

The SA job market has changed from the enthusiastic employment pattern of recent years. The skills shortage

Sabina Botti … ‘Applicants need to be extremely proactive in applying for jobs.’

of the past is no longer, according to Botti, and employers now have a choice of top talent.

“Competition between candidates applying for the

same job is higher,” she said, “and people are being forced to sell themselves and the value they can bring to the organisation, now more than ever before.”

Botti’s advice to unfortunate retrenchment victims is to be “as realistic and flexible as possible” when considering future career opportunities.

“Applicants also need to be extremely proactive in applying for jobs,” she said.

“Those sitting on the fence, unsure of their position during this difficult time, need to learn as much as possible, upskill, volunteer to work in various departments and make themselves indispensable.”

CAREER IN FREIGHT Employees are no longer calling the shots in the current recessionary climate, but good staff can still command good salaries.

The recession meanwhile has done little to dampen industry enthusiasm for training, with upskilling a clear focus for many organisations.

FTW takes a closer look.

More lie about qualifications in tougher environment Strong candidates still able to negotiate significantly higher raises The downturn in the economy has depressed the demand for talent in the job market, according to Lawrence Wordon, the MD of PAG. “Job vacancies are limited,” he said, “with companies avoiding extra cost by choosing to distribute additional work-load among existing staff members.”

But he has also noted a number of interesting trends that have emerged over the past year.

“These include the fact that the negotiating process between the client and candidate seems strained in the current economic environment,” Wordon told

FTW. “The appointment and acceptance decision process is unusually slow, with clients prolonging the procedure which is often resulting in the candidate withdrawing.

“We are also seeing that good candidates are choosing to remain in their current employment.”

“From a candidate perspective, we have been alarmed by the growing number of job candidates misrepresenting their qualifications and work history which is again possibly due to the tough climate.”

This is not just a thumbsuck, Wordon added, pointing to firm figures

“Our personal verification agency has revealed statistics that show 34% percent of job applicants falsify their experience, education and abilities.” He said.

“Furthermore, 33% give inaccurate dates of employment; 30% exaggerate their accomplishments; 11% misrepresent their reasons for leaving their previous employer; 10% are dishonest about their backgrounds; and 9% falsify their qualifications, employers and previous work roles.

“Worse still, 15% of all

Questioned about what effect this scene has had on salaries, Wordon told FTW that salaries had stabilised within the freight industry.

“Generally speaking, salary increases have stayed put – or have increased in line with inflation rates.”

‘End-to-end supply chain solutions are what it’s all about’ Training a vital part of the process To take advantage of what he described as “a tsunami of opportunity” for the freight forwarding industry, Charles Dey, the head of Global Trade Training (GTT), believes that training should be seen as a vital part of the process.

Freight forwarding as we now know it faces another significant evolutionary change, he told FTW. “It will never be the same,” he said.

“While retaining the basic forwarding and clearing functions as core business, successful future forwarders will have to provide importers and exporters with complete end-to-end supply chain solutions.

“These will have to be

designed to meet every client requirement and offer them vital help in reducing their overall inventory costs.”

But no such effort to take advantage of the expected tidal wave of opportunities can be made without all the training requirements needed to exploit them.

Dey also sees education and training as one of the most productive pillars for scoring the up-to-15 broadbased black economic empowerment (BBBEE) scorecard points that can be achieved.

“This represents a significant opportunity,” he said, “since professionalism developed through training is the freight forwarder’s competitive edge.

“Also, young black people are the key to successful succession planning, with estimates suggesting that there are 10 times the numbers of potentially successful blacks out there than there are whites.”

Companies should also bear-in-mind that, by fullyutilising available funding and tax allowances, training costs are significantly reduced, according to Dey. “At GTT,” he said, “we are equipped to assist companies in obtaining Sectoral Education and Training Authority (Seta) funding.

“Also, our Setacompatible systems make for easy claiming of approved funding.”

‘Staff training always a top priority’ At Cargocare Freight Services staff training is always a top priority, with the company spending more than R200 000 a year on this vital area, says operations director Sue Wood.

“Most difficult to find are good managers and good entry clerks,” says Wood, “but whether that’s related to our high quality standards is difficult to assess.”

The company uses a combination of external as well as internal specialised coaching and mentoring learnerships to achieve its training goals, all aligned with a Workplace Skills Plan.

And while it’s difficult to project the outlook for the months ahead, Wood is quietly confident that

things are “evening out”.

Despite the impact of the recession, Cargocare has managed to avoid the retrenchment route.

“But salaries have been capped with no promise of a Christmas bonus,” she said.

Recession does nothing to dampen students’ enthusiasm Growing number of students register for ICS courses If this year’s numbers are any indication, the recessionary environment appears to have done nothing to dampen the enthusiasm of students, according to Fiona de Goede, co-ordinator of TutorShip, the educational arm of the Institute of Shipbrokers (ICS).

“It has been a full year since we moved to larger premises in Durban,” she told FTW. “And, if 2009 is a sign of things to come, 2010 is going to be even better and busier.”

ICS figures indicate that the learning function continues to grow from strength to strength, De Goede added.

“In the past year close to 100 students enrolled

for either the foundation or advanced diplomas or progressed to the professional qualifying exams (PQE). The beginners’ course, ‘Understanding Shipping’, attracted 150 entrants.”

De Goede also expressed herself satisfied with the industry’s positive attitude to training. “The ICS exam results were made available in early August, and the results have shown that training and education were not relegated to the back seat, despite the recession.

“Growth is evident from these results which are a clear indication that the industry realises the importance of a qualification. Thirteen

students have completed the PQE, and are now eligible for membership which means they will soon be able to put the letters MICS behind their name.”

The institute has also targeted the secondary education sector – with three SA schools having participated in the ‘Understanding Shipping’ course this year.

“This,” De Goede told FTW, “is currently being offered on a bursary-basis to matric students who have maritime studies in their curriculum. They therefore leave school with their matric certificate in one hand and the ‘Understanding Shipping’ certificate in the other.”

Fiona de Goede ... ‘The institute has also targeted the secondary education sector.’

The advantage of this, she added, is that it enhances their desirability

when job-hunting.

“Should companies seek to place trainees, these candidates are in with an improved chance. Several of these school leavers have been successfully placed in positions in the industry and have subsequently completed the full membership exams.”

According to De Goede, the newly-available ‘Advanced Diploma’ is gaining in popularity.

“This two-subject course is a logical step after having completed the ‘Foundation Diploma’,” she said, “and the fact that both these diplomas can be put forward to the PQE makes it a very user-friendly manner of gaining ICS membership.”

Now is the time to train for the expected upturn Having a trained staff is the gateway to a successful future, according to Cape Crating director, Owen Bottomley.

“We are positioning ourselves now for future growth,” he told FTW, “and that means having the staff to sustain that growth.”

He cited his own experience at Cape Crating as a good example of this philosophy.

The company records show that, in the first quarter of this year, sales were up by 16%, while it also expanded its operation despite the recession – and is continuing to do so, according to Bottomley.

“We have increased our production capacity by more than 50% since last year,” he said.

“And, although we expect trading to be

uncertain for the next nine months, after that we expect to see an upward spike as the impact of the 2010 World Cup, low interest rates and a general recovery kicks in.”

Bottomley believes this will be followed by a difficult period with a higher interest rate cycle.

“This could, however, lead to a weaker rand – which would boost exports.”

In the interim, he insists

that staff training is paramount.

“We have to do most of our training in-house,” said Bottomley, “and have found qualified managers and riggers the most difficult to recruit.

“However, our salary increases are worked out to be commensurate with courses completed and staff performance, and this can be seen as a reward for completing

additional training.

“In the case of our factory staff the increases are calculated on a different basis with upward wage adjustments benched against the national food price index.”

Although the tough times are not yet over, Bottomley expressed confidence that Cape Crating was ready for the expected economic take-off.

Full range of courses on offer to non-clients Nationally run on a webinar basis

By Alan Peat

Nachi Mendelow … ‘Learners interact with the courses and trainers.’

To back up the comprehensive range of freight systems available from Compu-Clearing, the company also operates a complete training system – designed to familiarise users with its products.

“We like to put our users in a position where they derive maximum value from our systems,” said Nachi Mendelow, the marketing representative of CompuClearing Outsourcing. “For this reason we offer training courses on all our systems free of charge to new clients joining us.

“And, because of the market needs, we’ve taken

this a stage further – offering the same range of courses to non-clients at a moderate charge.”

CC has devised these courses under the two headings of “operational systems” and “financial systems” – and runs these nationally via the internet on a webinar (web seminar) basis.

“This is extremely user-friendly,” Mendelow added, “visually interesting and easy-to-understand, allowing the learners to interact with the courses and trainers as they progress through them.”

Courses under the “operational systems” heading are: seafreight

groupage; airfreight breakbulk forwarding/ invoicing; registration air, sea and tracking; air export registration and airwaybill (AWB); sea exports registration and bill of lading (BoL); import bill of entry (BoE), VOC and ex-bonds; export BoE, VOC and ex-bonds; invoicing tariffs and management reports; invoice creation; costing; FrOnT; (freight on time – a road distribution system) and AIWACS (airfreight import warehouse accounting system).

Under financial systems, the course headings are: debtors; cashbook; creditors and disbursement; and

general ledger.

“A complete range of courses for a complete range of systems,” Mendelow added.

And they are almost instantly available for those who want to take part.

“The clients don’t have long to wait before a course comes up,” said Mendelow, “as we run the full range of all 15 courses each and every month.”

The training courses are available at CompuClearing’s branches in Johannesburg and Cape Town – with a similar feature currently being put together and on its way to Durban soon, according to Mendelow.

‘Don’t lose out on your discretionary claim benefits’ Any industry body intending to set up its own training arm would do well to establish its academic curricula in close consultation with the Transport Sector Education and Training Authority (Teta), according to Gwen Gerber of Gerber Shipping – who recommended the Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers (ICS) as a good example to follow.

“The ICS is embracing change, and moving into the area of educational redress

by providing skills training to South Africans, she told FTW. Gerber expressed her concern at the fact that there seemed to be little understanding of how the contributions of companies to the skills development fund (SDF) works – and how to claim from this fund.

“All employers who are paying pay as you earn (PAYE) tax are obliged to contribute 1% of their total wage bill to this fund,” she

explained, “and they are entitled to claim 70% of this amount back for educating their current employees under the ‘mandatory claims’ provision.

“However, since many employers are not claiming – or are not claiming all they are allowed – the balance of the 70% available in the fund which MUST be paid out on an annual basis, is available for payment under the ‘discretionary claims’ provision.”

There’s benefit in this

for those with a focus on training. It basically means that those companies that are not claiming back their whole entitlement are, in fact, financing their competition to grow more effective through training.

“When an employer does not claim all, or at all, from the total 1% of their wage bill, this gives a direct benefit to the competition,” Gerber added. “By not investing in the knowledge and skills of employees, companies are weakening

in a very competitive marketplace – especially in these tough economic times.

“This may mean that they have to source more skilled people later on, at a much higher cost.”

The ICS, meantime, urged companies to make full use of their entitlement from the SDF by making sure that their skills development facilitators submit workplace skills plans that include accredited courses from accredited providers.

‘IT should be leveraged to attract and retain staff’ Staff can only perform as well as the tools they have available – and this is as true in a freight forwarding and customs clearing company as it is in any other industry, says Sydney Ramoorthy, head of new business development at Core Freight Systems.

“The computer is certainly one of the primary tools used in a progressive clearing agent’s business, and it therefore makes sense to find an IT solution that leverages your staff potential to the full,” says Ramoorthy.

The CoreFreight application makes use of modern design and technology to provide a comprehensive operations support system for a South African-based agent processing both import and export shipments, he added. “And not only does it provide a system that is

fully functional from both the Sars and internal process perspective, but one that is logical and easy to use.”

While the initial training of staff allows them to expand their capability as required, CoreFreight’s helpdesk provides ongoing on-line support to the user. And implementation is hasslefree, says Ramoorthy, with no complex infrastructure requirements needed by clients – all the operator needs is a computer with internet access.

“Whether the client represents a large multinational or a smaller local operation staff is a vital component of their service delivery.

“We believe that a company should be able to use its investment in IT to assist in attracting and retaining employees, and

The freight industry has not escaped the impact of the global financial recession, but several industry commentators are seeing positive change.

Specialist freight recruitment agency X-Act Placements has seen an upturn in the employment market, says CEO George Theodossion. “More

and more freight agents are starting to look for competent staff again as their customer base moves into recovery mode.

He believes the freight and logistics industry has always lacked experienced and well trained young newcomers.

“But it’s an industry that offers attractive and stable employment,” he said.

Recession or boom – good sales staff are always in short supply.

“Sales people have continued to demand higher salaries due to the area of specialisation and we have seen no decrease in the offers made,” PAG’s Lawrence Wordon told FTW. “We have also noticed that experienced and strong candidates are able to

negotiate significantly higher raises.”

Wordon’s advice to people who have been retrenched.

Skills in even shorter supply Career-pathing and skills development planning crucial The freight industry has not been able to take advantage of the recessionary ‘breathing space’ to train staff, according to Juliette Fourie, who heads up the accredited training service provider, Metro Minds.

“The reality is that although companies had more time on hand to upskill their staff, they simply couldn’t afford to do so,” she told FTW. “It was a choice of spending money on training or on salaries to retain staff.”

Fourie feels that the skills shortage has, in fact, deteriorated as some people in the freight forwarding and clearing industries have been seeking jobs in other industries where the impact of the recession has not been as severe.

“This means that the industry has lost yet more skills.”

It has been a recession that has caused companies to become creative and look for the most efficient and cost-effective ways to upskill their staff and keep them happy in their current job functions.

But recession or not, said Fourie: “As long as there is an absence of career-pathing there will always be a shortage of skill.”

To meet this need, organisations are looking at more and more customised solutions.

“Given this,” Fourie added, “we will continue to provide programmes and skills development projects that run in-house, and are tailored to the needs of the organisation.”

The company divides its courses into three, separate sections.

“Mechanism of Freight” is designed to cover the likes of Incoterms, imports

and exports, and letters of credit (L/C); “Soft Spots” for time, stress and conflict management, telephone and e-mail etiquette, customer service and the like; and “Powerful People” for management, leadership, finance, sales and the like.

Metro Minds is also part of the project team rewriting the Fiata (international federation of freight forwarders’ associations) diploma.

“Once this is finalised by the SA Association of Freight Forwarders (Saaff),” said Fourie, “we will be one of the preferred suppliers offering the diploma.

“And, as the national skills shortage is increasing, we have also decided to extend our programmes and workshops to Durban, Port Elizabeth and Cape Town.”

Training must take account of security requirements The needs of the future will demand that successfully managed international supply chains will be fully compliant in the areas of cargo security and world customs’ requirements through the implementation of

CARGO CRATES FOR ANYTHING FROM MACHINERY TO FINE ART

measures such as Part 108, Part 109 and the Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) concept, says Global Trade Training’s Charles Dey. “In strategic partnership with internationally benchmarked

organisations,” he said, “GTT will be able to give these international supply chain players the necessary tools to meet these requirements through focused and topical training interventions.”

Juliette Fourie ... ‘As long as there is an absence of career-pathing there will always be a shortage of skill.’

Training association addresses challenges As part of its industry responsibility programme, Metro Minds has recently joined the Community of Logistics Training Providers Association (CLTPA) – where challenges and opportunities are discussed on a regular basis.

This sort of community is vital in an industry where there is a scarcity of training

providers able to offer the complete range of services needed, says Metro Minds’ Juliette Fourie.

“The size of the industry gives all providers a chance to earn reasonable market share in their specialities,” said Fourie, “and thus it is important for providers to form this type of consortium.”

Railway lines scam closed down thanks to FTW reader

Coega IDZ to become petrochemical hub

‘Don’t be fooled!’

The now notorious “SA railway lines for sale” scam has raised its head again – and the news from an FTW reader is that he has had the offending party’s e-mail account shut down.

In this case, the export operations manager of a large SA company was targeted in the attempted scam – being sent an e-mail from: “Engr.

Jeff Radebe [mailto:j_ radebe12@yahoo.co.nz]” and offering “Sales Of Train Rail Scrap”.

The product supposedly up-for-grabs was 360 000-metric tonnes of rail scrap manufactured in Russia and the Ukraine and available in SA at a price of US$125/mt FOB. The section of the e-mail which dealt with payment terms read as follows: “With only POF we will deliver the goods and there will be no up-front payment of any sort until delivery to your port.

“The POF will come as pre-advised (MT760) to our bank which seller will present to buyer as his nominated bank account.

“If you confirm willing, ready, we will send you the verbiage of POF. “Inspections: By buyer and at the port of loading

by SGS for clear and clean of the quantity of the goods loaded on board vessel.”

And, after a fulltechnical description of the chemical composition of this scrap metal, the e-mail went on: “Please confirm if you are willing to close

down the contract as to enable us schedule and arrange for your urgent trip to South Africa for inspections of the material and signing of the contract with us.

“Finally, be informed that upon your acceptance to this offer, we will be providing you with all the related documents for your perusals before coming down to South Africa for the signing of the contract with us.”

Enquiries sent to the e-mail address by our FTW reader asking for further identity details of the seller met with no satisfactory response.

He remained sceptical of the offer, and after digging further into the technical detail of the e-mail address, he was able to send a complete breakdown of the code to the apparent service provider, Yahoo in New Zealand.

His message read: “Hi, Jeff Radebe is the former South African minister of transport but he definitely did not send out this email.

I can’t quite figure out how this scam works but although it appears to come from a Yahoo.co.nz address - j_radebe12@ yahoo.co.nz – the reply to mail gets rerouted to agabda147@gmail.com <mailto:agabda147@gmail. com “I also managed to crack into the "send to" code as follows: hope this helps you.”

And it did.

He soon received an

e-mail response from Yahoo! New Zealand, which said: “We appreciate you reporting this to Yahoo!Xtra. Users are prohibited to send unsolicited or 'spam' email from a Yahoo!Xtra Mail account as agreed in our Yahoo!Xtra Terms of Mail Service Agreement.

“In this particular case, we have identified the account used to send this email and have taken the appropriate action to prevent it from being used again to send spam mail.”

Our FTW informant also gave you other readers the following details of what to do if you get a similar scam letter.

“If you receive an unwanted email message that appears to originate

from a Yahoo!Xtra Mail account,” he said, “simply forward the message, with full headers, directly to: nz-mail-abuse@cc.yahooinc.com” And, if you want further information about this specific type of fraud, our reader advised you go to: http://www.police.govt.nz/ service/ecrime/ He points out that all internet service providers provide this service. “Just e-mail your complaint to the appropriate “mail abuse” address for that service provider,” he said.

The message is: Don’t get taken-in by this now frequent scam. Remember that FTW warned you: “If you see SA railway lines for sale, BEWARE.”

Investment into the Coega Industrial Development Zone outside Port Elizabeth is set to be driven by the petrochemical sector rather than smelters and other metals-related industries.

Speaking at the signing of a co-operation agreement with the Coega Development Corporation (CDC), PetroSA president and CEO, Sipho Mkhize, said the two organisations were considering opportunities in secondary industries in order to establish the Coega IDZ as a petrochemical hub serving the whole of Southern Africa.

PetroSA is planning a 400 00 bpd crude oil refinery for the IDZ. It stands to create greater spin-offs than a proposed aluminium smelter, which would have sustained around 1 000 direct jobs when operational, but would have consumed as much electricity as the Nelson Mandela Bay metro.

The refinery will generate close to 27 500 temporary jobs during the construction phase and 18 500 permanent direct, indirect and induced jobs once operational.

Supply chain built around ensuring customers are always happy

By Liesl Venter Driving more than 23 000 kilometres daily to ensure their 400 stores countrywide are always stocked to capacity, Woolworths is patently aware of the importance of effective supply chain logistics.

‘Perishables in stores tomorrow are still being picked and packed today.’

The major retailer opened its doors to members of the Chartered Institute of Logistics & Transport South Africa (Ciltsa) last week for a site visit of its Midrand distribution centre, which handles about 65% of the company’s total volume.

According to Angela D’Amato, transport operations manager for Woolworths, a fleet of 70 vehicles services the food

FTW0017SP

section of Woolworths alone. “We make 250 scheduled deliveries every day with 20 vehicles departing from our Midrand warehouse every 30 minutes.”

Woolworths has some 400 corporate full line stores countrywide with franchises in Mozambique, Swaziland and Botswana. It also has a large number of stand-alone food outlets as well as a presence at certain filling stations.

“Supply chain management is critical to the company,” says D’Amato. “The two major concerns for us at all times is cost-effectiveness and availability.”

Vusi Mgidi, Woolworths general manager: foods, says customer experience is possibly the most important factor for the company. “Our supply chain is built around ensuring our customers are

always kept happy and that their shopping experience is pleasant.”

According to Mgidi this manifests practically in several ways – for example all stores are packed before the doors open to the public and perishables are at their freshest at all times.

“Our perishables that will

be in our stores tomorrow are still being picked and packed today and will only arrive from our suppliers late afternoon before being delivered between midnight and 8am the next morning.”

Strict turnaround times have to be adhered to and vehicles have a 15 minute leeway for being late at the

depot, where the average turnaround time of a truck is only 45 minutes. “The same time frame applies when delivering to the stores. Being on time is part of ensuring the supply chain remains sustainable and cost-effective while giving us a competitive advantage,” said Mgidi.

‘Tax incentives needed to register ships in SA’ Samsa CEO bemoans state of maritime industry

By Ray Smuts South African Maritime Safety chief executive, Tsietsi Mokhele, calls a spade a spade and he has plenty of such cards to deal these days as he bemoans the unenviable state of South Africa’s maritime industry, and along with it the detrimental consequences for the economy.

Addressing the transport and maritime industry and maritime pupils at a recent World Maritime Day celebration at Milnerton, he said the country’s maritime industry was “slipping through our hands” and that heavy legislation was making it uncompetitive for companies to own South African-registered ships.

By way of example, he says no locally registered ships will be available for maritime student training

when Safmarine Oranje is decommissioned next year.

In this regard, Fred Jacobs, Safmarine’s director of corporate affairs, points out that the line has “no definite plans” to decommission the Oranje in 2010.

Mokhele says the country is facing a big crisis through its lack of participation in maritime trade and that he would retire peacefully if he was assured that for once in 400 years success had been achieved in integrating the maritime economy into the wider economy, heavily reliant on seaborne trade (98%) and contributing 50% to the country’s GDP. Not only is registering ships in South Africa costly but no formal policy exists around developing skills to support a growing shipping industry.

Maritime schools produce only 120 graduates a year whereas the country needs more than ten times that number.

What is more, says Mokhele, government should create a maritime environment that provides “sheltered employment” for graduates.

He quizzed Sanjay Govan, National Ports Authority port manager for Cape Town, over why the port had been without a deputy harbourmaster for so long and questioned the shortage of ship pilots and tug masters.

Approached by FTW for his take, Govan agrees with Mokhele but adds a new deputy harbourmaster, Sabelo Madlalosi, has since assumed duties.

“The port is experiencing some personnel shortages, not

that skilled people are unavailable but rather that training facilities are insufficient.

“For all those positions to be filled (ship pilots, tug masters etc.) personnel would need sea time and

we don’t have any South African-registered ships.

In Govan’s view, government should provide tax incentives for owners to register ships in South Africa.

FREIGHT PERSONALITY SERIES

A long-standing affinity with the sea …

An affinity for the sea and all things mechanical attracted Stuart Jones while knee-high to a grasshopper – so he combined the two in what has been a fascinating career.

Jones is the Cape Townbased technical marine executive for Safmarine and as such much involved in the company’s fleetbuilding (see article below)

and training programmes.

Born and bred in Mossel Bay, he joined Safmarine as an engineering cadet in 1989 and worked his way through the ranks, also obtaining an engineering qualification at the then Cape Technikon.

He came ashore in 2002, his last vessel being the SA Sederberg, one of the four famous ‘Big Whites’, and became involved

in AP Moller-Maersk’s Maestro officer training programme.

Married to a Mossel Bay girl, Luzelle Harris, he succeeded Etienne “Smersh’ Rabie towards the end of last year.

Stuart Jones ... 30 strong fleet by 2015.

Safmarine presses on with shipbuilding programme

By Ray Smuts As beleaguered container shipping lines scramble to defer or cancel orders for new ships, Safmarine remains dead on course with its shipbuilding programme – and marine technical executive Stuart Jones is confident of a 30-strong, new-look fleet by 2015.

What is more, says the former ship’s officer with a measure of pride, it has not been necessary for the South African-born carrier – part of the giant Danish AP Moller-Maersk group since 1999 – to walk away from a single new order.

No sooner had Jones concluded this interview with FTW, than ZIM announced postponement

FTW1508SD

of four 10 000 TEU vessels to 2014/15, on top of an earlier deferment of nine 12 600 TEU, containerships to the same time frame.

Jones admits that there were some questions a year or two back about the relatively conservative number of Safmarine's newbuild orders, and that

‘A new chapter dawns in Safmarine’s eventful history next year when it takes delivery of two new multi-purpose vessels.’ this low number of orders has now in fact turned out to be a blessing.

He goes on to say that despite so many new containerships coming on

stream, others still lie idle without much prospect of gainful employment before the expected market upturn at the end of 2010/early 2011.

As with many shipping lines, Safmarine is loathe to talk matters monetary – the cost of new containerships, for instance – but it’s safe to suggest they come in at anywhere between US$40 million and US$100 million apiece.

The past five years has seen Safmarine taking delivery of 18 new, state-ofthe-art containerships. They range in size from 2 100 to 6 100 TEUs. A new chapter dawns in Safmarine’s eventful history next year when it takes delivery of two new multi-purpose vessels (18

000dwt), to be followed by a further two in 2011.

Although Safmarine runs an MPV fleet of 21 vessels, these are all chartered, so the Wuhu 4 are the first to be wholly owned and managed by the line.

They are being built at the China’s Wuhu Xinlian Shipbuilding yard but Safmarine has declined an option on a further four from the yard.

“While we are generally quite happy with the Wuhu yard and its workmanship, one can pick up secondhand multipurpose ships for a lot less these days.”

The containership programme remains on track, with another three 4 500 TEU vessels are scheduled for delivery from Hyundai Heavy Industries

by 2012.

The global economic crisis has necessitated Safmarine looking anew at long-term expansion plans.

Two older containerships, Safmarine Concord built in the 1988, and Safmarine Oranje built in 1991, are still being deployed but are currently being evaluated by their owner in terms of continued operation.

Before the end of 2009, the UK-flagged Safmarine Cotonou (built in 1986) will head for Tanjung Pelepas for her inspection and Green Passport (inventory of all materials, operationally generated wastes and stores on board) before taking her final voyage to the Jiangyin shipyard in China for clean recycling.

Last week’s top stories on www.cargoinfo.co.za a line on the Europe route recently provided an interesting analogy to illustrate the unsustainable level of rates on this route.

Vessel delayed for 167 hours in CT

By Ray Smuts Implementation of a new terminal operating system, heavy vessel bunching and unwelcome winds, resulted in considerable delays to container shipping in Cape Town last week.

The new Navis operating/ tracking system for cargo was implemented on September 1, replacing the ten year old Cosmos system, but there have clearly been some teething problems which have slowed operations as

business unit executive, Oscar Borchards, concedes.

The build-up of vessels (not all containerships) outside the port has been notable over the past few weeks as have windrelated delays.

On top of that, even though Berth 601 is back in operation with its new Liebherr cranes, 602 is now out awaiting its cranes, thus cutting the terminal’s overall capacity by some 25%.

MSC Levina was delayed in berthing for 67 hours and Ital Fortunia for 67.67 hours.

Even longer delays were evident, too, but these can be put down to transhipment vessels awaiting cargo, MSC Dallas, for instance, which had been delayed for 170.58 hours come the morning of October 9.

‘Limited hub potential’

By Liesl Venter Natasha Persad has the world of freight at her feet.

The 27-year-old entry clerk with UTi in Durban was named first runner up in the Fiata “Young International Freight Forwarder of the Year Award” in Geneva in September this year, having won the South African Association of Freight Forwarders (Saaff) Young Freight Forwarder of the Year award earlier this year.

“I did not expect to even be in the top five,” says Persad, who attended the Fiata annual congress in Geneva in Switzerland as part of her

prize. “To come second was absolutely fantastic. I have learnt so much and I am just more inspired to be the best freight forwarder I can be.”

Having completed a dissertation for Saaff, Persad had to write a second dissertation for the Fiata award involving research into aid donations and the workings of six different countries’ customs laws.

“It was much more than I ever imagined it to be – not only have I gained knowledge and expertise, but I have been given networking opportunities I never would have had and I have been able to see the industry at work on

a global level.”

This, she says, has impacted her day-to-day working environment, as she is now able to fully understand her role within the organisation for which she works.

With Germany walking away as winners, Persad said South Africa definitely did not have to stand back at all.

“If I took anything away from the congress it is that South Africa’s freight forwarding industry is of international standard.”

She believes more young people should be encouraged to enter the Saaff competition, the precursor to the Fiata award.

helping to develop this port.”

He saw this as MSC’s way of saying thank you to the SA market and port authorities for their support over the line’s 20-year history – in which SA was the major initial player in its expansion into the global giant that it is today.

It is now ranked second largest container line in the world, according to AXS Alphaliner’s ratings, with a carrying capacity of 1 507 836-TEUs and an 11.1% market share, second only to the Danish line APMMaersk with it 14.9% slice of the market.

“We don’t forget that we’ve created a firstclass shipping line in this country,” Sarno said, “and we must pay this country back.”

MSC is certainly not calling at the new Ngqura port with any big moneymaking intentions.

Apart from offering the line’s help in developing the port, Sarno added: “I see no other advantages for the time being.”

From page 1 limited reason for any northsouth traffic flows given such a global pattern.

“So this route (via SA and the Port of Ngqura) cannot act as the transit for these millions of containers through the northern hemisphere,” he added.

“And so it can’t be a major hub.”

Sarno certainly doesn’t raise an outright rejection of the port having a significant (in African terms) transhipment function.

“We are optimistic that the port will develop itself,” he said. “You’re maybe talking 100 000 to 200 000 transhipment boxes a year.

But not the millions they (Transnet) think.”

And it’s not that MSC is going to avoid the port.

It has already allocated calls for one of the vessels in its SA-Europe service, with Ngqura substituting for previous calls in Port Elizabeth.

“This,” said Sarno, “shows our goodwill, and that we are co-operating in
