INCOTERMS UPDATE Why Incoterms Are Critical and How You Can Participate in the Once-a-decade Update

Incoterms Rules 2020 – How Can We Improve Them for Project Cargo Shippers?

ncoterms go back to 1923 when there was a review of common trade terms were discussed and the terms were first published in 1926. There were only six at the time and today we have 11. It’s interesting to watch the revisions because we witness globalization and the history of transportation.

FOR EXAMPLE, in

the 1950s FOR, which stands for free on rail, became an Incoterm because of the increase in rail transportation. In 1968 the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), located in Paris, made a big push to have Incoterms used because there were competing trade definitions. In the United States we have the Uniform Commercial Code that covers domestic trade. In the 1970s we saw air freight (FOB Airport) included as well. In 1980, we tried to get our arms

around containerization.

For project cargo, Incoterms are very important because they define the delivery terms of who is paying for what.

Part of a good contract is to be very clear about who’s paying for what and who’s responsible for what.

In our industry, Incoterms is one of those areas where we’ve got a lot of strong characters with “fingertip intelligence.” Incoterms is very much a legal issue and it’s an area where fingertip intelligence is hitting the courts.

Nothing against lawyers, but this is something we live and we live with the consequences.

every 10 years. If we look at how these changes are made to Incoterms, we see an amazing global effort. The ICC is getting feedback from around the world. With globalization, countries like China, countries in Europe, the United States and South America—huge trading centers—are submitting important issues for consideration.

IT IS CRITICAL

also very knowledgeable about this subject and living it every day as an EPC. Amber Knipe from Halliburton is another important panelist, offering the services perspective. Especially in this market with oil prices being what they are and every line item counting, the proper use of Incoterms—who’s paying for what—is important in every company.

We still have time to give our recommendations to Frank Reynolds to take to Paris. Join Poisler and his panel on Wednesday, Oct. 18 at 3:00 pm to contribute to this critical process that affects us all.

SEE THE FUTURE This special session is being organized by Stephen “Spo” Spoljaric, Logistics Manager/Procurement Innovation Leader for Bechtel Oil, Gas, & Chemicals. He has handpicked his panel to showcase the very latest technology that is changing the way firms across the industrial supply chain do business.

Here he gives us a preview.

Thursday, Oct. 19 at 2:00 pm

Conference Suite

I plan to share some amazing things that will impact what the Breakbulk industry is doing today and changes that will come in the near future. Innovation is an opportunity to look at what other industries are doing and determine how the breakbulk industry can apply new concepts. We will cover augmented and mixed reality, 5D simulation models, digital twins, and the use of drones for use by remote experts.

These new technologies introduce the possibility to be more predictable—the opportunity to mitigate a risk before it happens. At Bechtel, we are applying Engineered Logistics™, to describe the collection of these various tools because we are no longer managing transportation in the traditional way. As an engineering company, we are blending industrial engineering methodology with expert knowledge to fundamentally change how we approach problems.

supply chain as 2-D drawings will become obsolete. Bechtel’s ability to help customers imagine and optioneer with us in early phases will ensure we deliver as promised aligned with expectations. This is a concept that can be applied by other companies working in teams with their clients. .

WHY WE DO IT

Innovation is real. It is changing Bechtel’s culture for the better. Getting input from different levels of experience is introducing more and more diverse points of view. Specific to the breakbulk shipping industry, we will continue to expand our Engineered Logistics™ strategy, improving productivity and focusing on predictability. We want to communicate many of these ingenious ideas to our clients,

BENEFITS FOR OUR ENTIRE INDUSTRY

The benefits of implementing these technologies support safety improvements, communications and the bottom line for carriers and shippers by removing contingency. For Bechtel and our clients, it gives us the opportunity to make even better decisions with even better accuracy from the information produced.

There’s a lot of opportunity to interact differently with our clients, such as collaboration to ensure we meet their expectations. Engineering will be doing more development with the 3-D model that will impact procurement operations within the

HOW WE DO IT

Bechtel has created the Future Fund. This gave our employees a chance to submit ideas, have them crowdsourced for feedback, develop a proof of concept, then a pilot until they are fully matured and ready for institutionalization. To date, we have over 2,000 ideas submitted from employees from around the world. We have teams dedicated to innovation and a Chief Innovation Officer.

Currently, the Future Fund has committed over US$20 million to developing these concepts.

“The first time I experienced Microsoft HoloLens, I must admit that I didn’t follow the recommendation—I watched on a monitor instead of wearing the device. What I saw was amazing and I had to experience it for myself.”

When I put on the computer, I viewed a cold box model—something I had shipped several times over the past five years. This commodity is about the size of a six-story building and weighs over 1,000 tonnes. I could view it in a drone view with the ability to walk around it and close to it. Several people on my team, Trent Legendre specifically, had an extreme interest in the technology and had to initially convince me to consider this as a new solution. But after viewing it, I was immediately convinced this could be an industry changer.

2 HOURS THAT COULD CHANGE YOUR BUSINESS Constantly Changing World Stokes Compliance Issues Our panel will provide an overview of international trade laws and highlight key regulations which we believe most people should be familiar with. Unfortunately, much of the training that exists commercially are manufacturing or retail focused, but it doesn’t translate well to service providers like logistics professionals. We’re hoping to make this session more relatable for our peers.

There are a number of issues that keep my job interesting: international trade laws especially for a multinational company are complicated. Factor in the new administration and constant geopolitical change and things become challenging.

In particular, changes in sanctions regulations with respect to Russia, Iran and Cuba require constant attention.

Additionally, the proliferation of antidumping and countervailing duties investigation cases, as well as the pending negotiation of NAFTA, could mean significant changes to the way many of us do business. Add to that the continuous monitoring of transactions that may involve export controlled items or technology, and ensuring compliance with customs regulations and there can sometimes be a struggle to convince sales and business development people that we’re on their side.

I always tell our business people I am not in the business of saying “no”—my job is trying to find a legally permissible way to say “yes”!

SHIPPER SPOTLIGHT

MITSUBISHI HITACHI POWER IN MEXICO

Credit: Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems Americas

Interview with Brandon Strange, Assistant Manager for Logistics and Transportation with Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems Americas, who has been deeply involved in several of Mitsubishi’s recent energy projects in Mexico. He will be moderating our Breakbulk Americas panel “South of the Border: Mexico on the Move.”

Thursday, Oct. 19 from 11:30 am - 12:25 pm

THE SCALE

Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems Americas supplies major equipment for thermal power plants, but wind projects are also booming in Mexico. These are large scale base power plants with single shipments near 300-ton for individual turbines and generators, and over 500-ton for gross weight of road transports to site. These large inland shipments require advance planning and engineering support, which can take six to 12 months out before the actual date of shipment.

Each project will vary a little, but based on the three projects we have right now, here are some figures: • 8 countries of origin bringing in product from a round the world, primarily Europe and the Pacific Rim • Nearly 200 import transactions for each project • About 5,500 tonnes of cargo going to each site

SURPRISINGLY FEWER CHALLENGES

We anticipated more challenges than we saw during the execution timeframe. Customs and import process is first and foremost a little slower with a more rigorous import transaction with customs as opposed to the U.S. where you can pre-clear shipments up to a few days out from vessel arrival. This cannot happen in Mexico, so it means some extra planning. Overall, nothing was shocking to us and we attribute that to the partners we selected and the communication we set up on the front-end of the project.

Conference Suite

our heavy hauler with moving our major equipment and designing some custom fixtures to support our loads on their rigs was impressive, along with their reaction time in the face of ship delays and other unknowns that always happen with these types of shipments. Overall, the support we had was equal to any other major projects we’ve done in North America.

LOOKING FORWARD

My company has made a huge investment in the markets from Mexico through South America just in the last six to 12 month. We’ve scaled up our sales team and are working on three or four projects in the bid phase. From our president down to the sales team, there’s a lot of momentum in the Latin American markets. We foresee the power surge in Mexico to continue in the coming years.

On the other hand, the U.S. administration and posturing for redoing NAFTA has had some impact on our business, especially on our latest project. The customer is one of the largest EPCs in Mexico, a Spanish company, and moving most of the investments in Mexico right now. They have required us to source our engines out of our plant in Japan to minimize the risk of bringing those large gas turbines from the U.S. in light of the NAFTA uncertainty.

We’re seeing a trend in that direction and don’t expect it to change until NAFTA and other trade agreements are settled.

We had zero damages at the port of import handling all our major shipments and that is a testament to the people supporting us along with the handling and procedures we established up front. The engineering support we had from

MAJOR PROJECTS REQUIRING BREAKBULK TRANSPORT SERVICES IN MEXICO Excerpt from market insights report “Moving Continents: Project Cargo in the Americas.” This 64-page report from ITE Exhibitions and Breakbulk Media is available for download.

Go to www.breakbulk.com/oppotunityamericas for your free copy.

From unleashing its renewable energy potential, through to preparing its oil and gas industry for private investment, Mexico is packed with projects requiring breakbulk cargo transportation services.

Fresh from Pemex losing its monopoly on Mexican oil and gas exploration comes a wave of international companies expanding their presence in Mexico’s oil fields. The Gulf of Mexico is already a hotbed of exploration and drilling activity—now, it is on the cusp of major expansion.

Around the world, countries are allocating billions of dollars towards infrastructure spending. Mexico is no different. In May 2014, the Mexican government announced a massive nationwide initiative to upgrade and replace infrastructure links.

“I think Mexico is underestimated and underrated. It is one of the major economies in the world.

There is a lot of room for continued growth and expansion.”

Rodger Baker, Vice President of Strategic Analysis, Stratfor Green energy projects large and small are emerging across Mexico daily. Solar, wind, hydroelectric, and geothermal all feature in the future of Mexican power generation, so it is building the necessary infrastructure to secure a cleaner energy outlook.

Renewables will remain a source of project cargo contracts until well into the 2020s, as Mexico turns to green sources for its power needs.

TRADE UPDATE

STRAIGHT TALK ON TRADE IN THE AMERICAS

Credit: Berard Transportation

Rodger Baker, Vice President of Strategic Analysis with our global intelligence partner, Stratfor, will provide a geopolitical view of global events that will shape risk and/or opportunity in the Americas including a forecast on the future of NAFTA in particular at the keynote “Americas Trade Update.”

L

Thursday, Oct. 19 from 10:45 am - 11:30 am

eaders around the world rely on Stratfor to navigate the increasingly complex global environment. Here we talk to Stratfor’s Rodger Baker about the most important trade issues facing our industry in the Americas.

BAKER ON NAFTA

I think we have to look at NAFTA as not in a way of expecting the worst, but understanding

12

that since NAFTA was signed the shape of trade relationships has evolved substantially. In many ways, NAFTA hasn’t kept up. When we think about things like electronics, foodstuffs and automotives, the way supply chains have become entangled it is very difficult to understand how you travel through all of these different paths and how it impacts this trilateral relationship in NAFTA.

Conference Suite There are a lot of lobbying groups and powerful stakeholders that would help put pressure on some of the more extreme views like breaking up NAFTA or throwing it away. We have seen the Trump administration’s discussion on that shift from an initial one that seemed to be radical change to one that’s more moderate and more about evolving the agreement.

We do expect to see a fair

amount of evolution as we go forward through these negotiations. Certainly the U.S. is going to continue to push on things like rules of origin. We expect to see modifications to IP, labor and environmental regulations. But I think there are interests aligned on all three sides of NAFTA and within the business community and the United States that will keep some framework on these negotiations.

BAKER ON BRAZIL

The challenge in Brazil right now is the political uncertainty that’s having a tremendous impact on their economic expansion.

It doesn’t seem like it’s going to go away before the end of 2018 when they’re up for the next batch of elections.

We’re seeing companies delay expansions and additional investments until Brazil sorts out its internal politics. So from our point of view, there’s another few years before we see them come back.

However, there may be a slow rise out of recession over the next couple of years, but any major jump is going to need some of this political resolution.

BAKER ON OPPORTUNITIES

There are potential opportunities in Colombia with the winding down of the most extreme aspects of Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (Farc) with the peace accord coming into play, and that does ease some of the older concerns over security of infrastructure. Also, Argentina looks promising.

Then there is Paraguay and Peru that have more flexible labor rules and lower taxation rates that make investment more attractive.

seeing are these local, popular consultations where referenda at the local and municipal levels are pushing against oil and mining. While the central government is not in support of those, there have been some elements from the courts that are allowing these local populations to pursue these.

This stems from the broader trends you’re seeing internationally around subnationalism, local interests rising above national interests and national interests rising above pan-national interests. So we want to be looking for ripple effects from these broader trends.

BAKER ON CHINA’S FUTURE IN BRAZIL

China is going to become more important to Brazil, particularly during this time when Brazil is struggling to get other parts of the world interested during this political crisis that they are undergoing.

China has some heavy investment in Brazil’s electricity infrastructure, and that fits in with what China is interested in doing—an expansion of overseas infrastructure and development projects.

China hasn’t fully integrated its relations in Latin America into its BeltRoad initiative, but some of the discussions in China over the last month or two has really expanded what fits into Belt-Road. This means that some of these projects in Latin America may get fast-tracked from the Chinese government for Chinese companies to be able to work on them.

BAKER’S WATCH LIST

There are other relationships like the FTA negotiations between Mercosur and the European Union, which is something Brazil is pushing very hard for, but running up against reticence on the European side.

In terms of Latin America, there’s always an interest in looking at Mexico. I think Mexico is underestimated and underrated. It is one of the major economies in the world. There is a lot of room for continued growth and expansion.

Watch what I call the “TPP lite” discussions, in reference to the TransPacific Partnership. Even without the United States, we’re seeing Japan, Australia and New Zealand pushing for this TPP grouping to continue along the line of a multilateral trade agreement, and that would mean pulling Latin America into that space as well. Leaders around the world rely on Stratfor to navigate the increasingly complex global environment. Here we talk to Stratfor’s Rodger Baker about the most important trade issues facing our industry in the Americas.

BAKER ON RISKS

FROM THE EYE OF THE STORM: RICKMERS-LINE CEO

Credit: Rickmers-Line

Janet Nodar, Content Director for Breakbulk Events and Media spoke with Ulrich Ulrichs, CEO, Rickmers-Line about the effects of consolidation and what we can expect to see in both the short term and over the next few years. Ulrichs will be joining our carrier panel “Deep Waters: Rivals, Regs and Carrier Risk.”

Wednesday, Oct. 18 from 11:30 am - 12:20 pm We have seen a phenomenally difficult shipping market unfold since the financial crash and particularly since oil prices have become so volatile. How has that played out with traditional heavy-lift carriers like Rickmers?

All shipping owners and operators in the shipping market, never mind which segment they are operating in, have been affected since then. For us, in particular on the heavy-lift MPP side, everything has slowed down since the financial crisis and has not recovered.

There were a couple of average years in between, such as 2015, but since then it’s been a steady market on a very low level.

Conference Suite

world make for a lot of uncertainty. I don’t see any sign of steady recovery.

The only good sign we can see is that because so many owners and operators in the shipping industry have been suffering for such a long time that for a lot of them the end of the story is here. They have to do something, they can’t sustain it anymore. I like to have one eye on the container industry. In the past, the container industry has reacted more quickly to certain market trends than the MPP side—the MPP heavy-

lift sector has always been behind the container boys. For instance, one carrier recently stated in the news, “The end game in the container industry has started.”

We’re into the final stretch of massive consolidation in the container industry.

The three alliances will get themselves organized, and then those carriers that want used to be the global players will have to be absorbed, or merge, or be part of an alliance. While there’s not much container carriers can do about demand, they can affect

The entire shipping market has been affected and you can see from all kinds of players in the market—heavylift, containers and bulk. I think the only guys who are having a happy life now are the cruise ship owners.

Do you think the worst of the downturn is over?

Not yet, the market is still very difficult. We have a bit of a concern over the global economy. The political situations in countries around the Credit: Rickmers-Line

supply and that’s what they are doing.

I think the container carriers will get more healthy in the coming years. And that’s a good thing for the MPP heavylift carriers.

for another six to 12 months. And I do believe that small players with just a few ships will find it very difficult to survive.

The advantage I see to consolidation in the container industry is that their ship order policies will be overhauled.

Too many owners and operators have ordered too many ships for too many years. A change in shipbuilding strategy will also help us.

Will scrapping increase?

Yes, we have seen some movement in that area, but you have to distinguish between the simple MPV vessels— bigger ships with less gear. That part of the MPV fleet is older than the heavy-lift vessels because the main ordering spree for heavy-lift vessels took place from 2005 to 2010. So heavy-lift ships with over 250- to 300-tonne gear is relatively young. The potential for scrapping over the next five years or so in this sector is low, but for the simple, bigger MPVs there is a lot of potential for scrapping. This will help the MPP sector more fully utilize its capacity by filling ships with simple project cargoes along with the big pieces.

Do you expect to see more consolidations and mergers on the MPV and heavy-lift side?

What are the most significant factors that will influence the shipping market over the next few years?

Yes, I think there is definitely more news to come. We have been part of this process twice: first in the takeover of Nordana in 2016 and then a year later we were taken over by Zeaborn. A lot of the operators and carriers in our market need to do something. There is no safe haven for any breakbulk heavy-lift carrier—we are all dealing with the same market. The key for them to survive is to get bigger to achieve economies of scale. They also need to offer a bigger variety of services.

The 2008 crisis has had a huge impact on the market, especially in the German environment where German owners have been very active in the MPP side. The problem is to get financing. Limited access to attractive financing definitely has an influence, but that’s not new. People will see the outcome of that problem over the next five years. Right now nobody needs new ships, but once they do it will be very difficult to get them, especially for Western Hemisphere owners and operators.

Some of the cargoes the MPP fleet carried before the crisis were convertible to containers or flat racks. Once the container carriers are healthier and they need to turn ships around faster, some of these cargoes will come back, especially if the container carriers manage to get their freight rates up. This will help increase the utilization of the MPP fleet.

The other factor is the global economy. What’s going to happen in the United States, in the Middle East, in South America? The political instability and local political issues have a great impact on the MPP heavy-lift operators, so it must be closely watched. But of course, those are things we can’t directly influence.

Another factor is environmental policies, such as new policies around low sulphur fuels. Either carriers go with low sulphur gas or diesel oil, or they have scrubbers installed on their ships. This will be a massive cost.

There is speculation as to whether the

There is no safe haven for any breakbulk heavy-lift carrier supply of fuel will be sufficient, but I think the industry will react and there will be sufficient supply. However, it will cost much more than the heavy oil fuel we use today. No matter which option is selected, it will be very expensive and the big question is then, “Who will pay the bill?”

This is the same as we have done. We took over Nordana to gain a tramp option. Now with Zeaborn, Nordana and Rickmers together we have about 50 ships under our control. The more tonnage you control, the less players you have in the market and it is healthier for all of the players. As noted in the press, there are carriers looking at finding a new home and I’m sure we’ll hear more in the next few months.

You are also seeing a lot of ships moving back and forth. A lot of these ships that carriers have been operating are changing hands in part due to the financial situations of single ships. So if a bank wants to get out, it might sell a ship to someone who doesn’t want to keep the ship with the operator or charterer it’s currently with. I see this movement continuing

NOT YOUR GRANDFATHER’S

BREAKBULK

If you’re new to the breakbulk business or studying logistics, maritime operations or general shipping, you’ll want to participate in our Jerry Nagel Breakbulk Education Day. You’ll hear from professionals such as shipper Frank Schroder, Global Logistics Manager for CB&I Fabrication Services. Here Schroder gives us a taste of what he’ll talk about in his opening keynote.

Wednesday, Oct. 18 from 3:00 pm – 3:50 pm

T

he world of Breakbulk has changed significantly from its original meaning to what it represents today.

To me it represents innovation, technological advancement and the ability to achieve what used to

of equipment and modules as well as transport engineering related to lifting, securing, packing and moving goods. It requires proper project management—a core requirement to successful project logistics.

be impossible.

WHAT IS BREAKBULK?

If you ask yourself that question or just google it that you will find that the definitions are vague and outdated, generally related to consumer goods before the container revolution took place.

The breakbulk entry in Wikipedia shows black and white photos of folks lifting things by hand in boxes or in bags and barrels on pallets, each lifted individually or in nets onto vessels.

That’s not what Breakbulk is today.

Breakbulk today is the next level of logistics, beyond containerized cargo, palletized airfreight and in-gauge flatbeds or box trucks. It is the movement of oversized and super heavy cargo, structures and modularized manufacturing plants.

In the modern world of Breakbulk there are big demands on individuals who handle these complex transports. These responsibilities and requirements include detailed and sometimes substantial planning because you are dealing with oversized and super heavy cargo that has very special requirements themselves.

Working in breakbulk requires knowledge of proper engineering

Breakbulk is the path to an exciting and rewarding career that’s never boring The world of breakbulk covers cargo that is getting bigger, heavier and more valuable—one piece of cargo can be worth millions of dollars. These aren’t off-theshelf goods, but take a year or two to build. There’s a higher risk of damage and loss. If one of these items doesn’t make it to the destination in one piece and

on time, It can result in a project shutdown and multimillion dollar losses. Bigger and heavier cargo also increases the risks for bodily harm and devastating accidents in the field—the bigger the item, the higher the risk for individuals around it. That’s why today’s industry includes advanced healthy, safety and environment (HSE) requirements.

When you are looking at the world of Breakbulk in terms of equipment, Breakbulk cargo requires the invention and use of incredible equipment and machinery to make transports possible and safe to execute. I’m thinking about air cargo vehicles like the Antonov 124 and 225—the biggest airplanes in the world— and semi-submersible vessels, which are ships that intentionally sink down underneath the water line to load cargo and then miraculously move back up and go on their way, heavy haul trailers that are nearly as long as a train, and lifting equipment that can lift several hundred tons.

Being a part of the project cargo and breakbulk industry means being part of amazing human achievements: the Panama Canal, onshore and offshore wind farms, LNG plants and other energy facilities, oil and gas development, and even your everyday water bottle, made possible through petrochemical plants. In fact, there’s not much around us that doesn’t rely on the breakbulk industry in some way.

BREAKBULK EDUCATION DAY AGENDA Training Tomorrow’s Leaders

3 KEYS TO

PROJECT FREIGHT MANAGEMENT SUCCESS Peter Bouwhuis, iBrabble B.V. Education & Events • Project Freight Management Workshop Tuesday, Oct. 17 from 8:30 am – 5:00 pm

There are three keys to success in project freight management according to shipping and forwarding veteran Peter Bouwhuis:

1. PROJECT PLANNING

Shippers and service providers are not spending enough time on project planning. Not spending enough time on the planning will result in losing focus during the project execution and losing focus means the project will run into issues that will end up costing them more money.

2. PRICING VS. COST

The core focus of the project is to stay within the budget and this means that the cost of a project is more than just pricing—parties need to see the bigger picture. When you bring the rate of shipping down to an absolute minimum, the quality of service goes down. If the timeframe is affected as well, say the chosen ocean liner has less frequent sailings, that also means that the deliveries will be late and the risks are higher.

3. FULL CONTROL

Having full control on the project during logistics execution means you can change the project deliveries and you can mitigate risk. Many companies still think that giving their suppliers responsibility for the delivery will give them less work and reduce risk—in fact, it’s the opposite.

The less control you have, the more likely you will get the goods onsite when you least expect them and before you need them, or when it’s too late. In either case, it will increase your costs.

ONE-DAY COURSE This one-day intermediate level course is for those EPCs, cargo owners, carriers and project forwarders who strive to better understand the responsibilities and requirements in project freight management.

Taught by a 35-year industry veteran, participants will take away practical hands on know-how and tools that will have an immediate and positive impact on managing their project’s logistics.

NOTE: VIP SHIPPERS MAY TAKE THIS COURSE FOR FREE AS PART OF THEIR CLUB MEMBERSHIP. For information about the Breakbulk VIP Shipper Club.
