Breakbulk continues to grow ‘The breakbulk market on the quay and that on the water seem like two completely different worlds that coexist in parallel’, it says in the opening story of this edition of Spotlight, which is fully dedicated to breakbulk – in all the varieties of cargo and activities that this entails. While ship owners often need to fight for market share, the terminals active in general cargo, heavy-lift and project cargo are doing very well.

In the ports of Antwerp and Rotterdam in particular, substantial investments are being made in dry bulk capacity - while Zeeland Seaports holds a particularly strong position in offshore.

More specifically, the Offshore & Heavy Lift Centre that arose at the Broekman Breakbulk Terminal in Rotterdam’s Waalhaven is especially striking. The activities focus on the energy and offshore industry, which is increasingly performing assembly activities directly on the water. Earlier, Broekman also further expanded the Distriport Terminal on the Theemsweg in Rotterdam with a

ro/ro ramp and 50,000 m2 of storage, transhipment and distribution capacity.

Rhenus Deep Sea Terminal is expanding as well with a second quay at the Maasvlakte and later this year SIF Group and Verbruggen International will open a terminal; covering 42 hectares, a location will be realised for the production of foundations for, among other things, offshore wind farms.

We see a similar development in other ports.

Antwerp is greatly expanding its capacity and Zeebrugge remains the largest car port in the world.

Obviously, the breakbulk segment is seeing more positive development than container shipping and container terminals. Drewry may expect the growth in breakbulk to slow down this year, but at least there is still growth. And this can definitely not be said for every maritime activity.

THE PARALLEL WORLD

6

In the Spotlight Breakbulk 2016

Just like the container shipping sector, the breakbulk market is subject to very fierce competition. The world of breakbulk, ro/ro and heavy lift however is so diverse that it does not really constitute one single market: it is possible for true winners and true losers to co-exist alongside one another within the various segments.

Håkan Modig, CEO of the Finnish shipping line Bore, and Spliethoff CEO Michael van den Heuvel probably needed little time to agree that the Dutch shipping company Spliethoff would take over the ro/ro operations of Bore, including its fleet and staff.

In the shipping sector, the acquisition of Bore’s rolling cargo operations by Spliethoff is relatively insignificant. After all, the deal is so minor that it didn’t even require the involvement of the competition authorities.

For the companies involved, this however is a big step. “In recent years, ro/ro has developed into an important part of our business; in that respect, we offer fast liner services between the European continent and Finland,” says Spliethoff CEO Michael van den Heuvel about the acquisition. “By incorporation Bore within our group, we are able to further expand our position in this segment of the market and create new opportunities.”

Bore, almost 120 years old, has traditionally held a very strong position on the Baltic Sea, the North Sea and the Mediterranean.

“By joining the Spliethoff Groep, Bore is

sector will definitely continue to grow in the foreseeable future. However, ro/ro is certainly not represen­tative of the entire breakbulk sector. Other breakbulk segments have been struggling for some time now - or still are. Shipping lines solve this through acquisitions and, similar to the container shipping sector, the con­solidation of services.

Regardless of which measures the shipping companies take, patience and perseverance remain key. The British maritime c­onsultancy firm Drewry expects the growth in the breakbulk sector to slow down this year already; it also expects the market to remain extremely weak until at least 2017. In its latest Multi-purpose Shipping Market Review and Forecast, the consultancy firm predicts minimal growth for this year and an increased demand for capacity of about 1.4 percent in the period up to 2018.

“Overcapacity coupled with low freight rates still pose a challenge for the profitability of dry bulk and container shipping,” explains Susan Outway of Drewry. “This will s­trengthen

S OF BREAKBULK able to develop its fleet and activities in such a manner that allows the company to meet the future challenges in a competitive market,” adds Modig. Although the incorporation of Bore by Spliet­hoff is by no means headline news, this acquisition very accurately reflects the current situation in the ro/ro market. The maritime transport of rolling equipment is quite profitable, providing the shipping company has its act together. And freight volumes in the ro/ro

the competition between container shipping and dry bulk shipping regarding both project cargo and breakbulk cargo. We expect the container trade to further penetrate the market for project cargo and the dry bulk sector that of the breakbulk sector. This results in a lower market share for the multipurpose fleet.”

That the dry bulk fleet is taking market share away from breakbulk also becomes apparent from another prognosis by Drewry.

introduction While the growth in capacity demand for breakbulk is expected to remain stable at less than 1.5%, the British marine research agency expects the capacity demand for dry bulk to grow by 3% until 2018.

While shipping lines must struggle for each single percent of market share in the breakbulk sector, terminals active in breakbulk, heavy lift and project cargo are actually d­oing quite well. The breakbulk market on the quay and that on the water seem like two completely different worlds that coexist in parallel. Especially in the ports of Antwerp and Rotterdam, sub­ stantial investments in dry bulk capacity are being made.

Last year, Pacorini Metals opened its terminals at Rotterdam’s Merwehaven on a 12.5-hectare site with a quay of six hundred metres in length. Here, the company mainly focuses on non-ferrous metals and soft commodities such as coffee, cocoa and fruit.

Halfway through this year, the joint venture between SIF Group and Verbruggen International is expected to commission its terminal at the Second Maasvlakte.

The 42-hectare site is earmarked for the production, transhipment and storage of foundations for offshore wind farms and the oil and gas industry.

Rhenus Deep Sea Terminal is constructing a second quay at its terminal at the Second Maasvlakte and the Broekman Distriport Terminal on the Theemsweg in Rotterdam has been expanded with a roll-on/rolloff ramp and 50,000 square meters of space for the storage, transhipment and distribution of cargo to and from the west of Scandinavia.

At the former RDM site, the Offshore & Heavy Lift Centre of the Broekman Breakbulk Terminal at Rotterdam’s Waalhaven area covers 16,000 square meters of floor space with four modern halls equipped with overhead cranes that can lift from 75 to 700 tonnes. “The energy and offshore industry is increasingly seeking assembly space directly on the water,” said Raymond Riemen, CEO of Broekman Logistics, during the opening.

“This way, cargo doesn’t need to be shipped to the factory again, saving costs.”

Broekman made the investment in the Offshore & Heavy Lift Centre in cooperation with Port of Rotterdam, which has invested fifteen million euros in the project; within the breakbulk segment, it mainly focuses on heavy lift and project cargo.

Last year, the port of Rotterdam noted a 6.5% increase in the transhipment and storage of breakbulk to over 27.7 million tonnes. This growth is fully attributable to the ro/ro segment, which increased by 10.1% to 22 million tonnes. The storage and transhipment of other general cargo decreased by 5.5% to 5.7 million tonnes.

And the breakbulk sector definitely still offers more potential for growth. In the first quarter of this year, the total throughput in Rotterdam increased by 2.7% to 6.6 million tonnes. Roll on/roll off transport to Great Britain in particular is growing, but the handling of other general cargo is also substantially increasing. With an increase of 6.7% to 1.2 million tonnes in the first three months of 2016, this growth can even be called outstanding.

Shipping companies are also aware of Rotterdam’s attractiveness as a breakbulk port. Earlier this year, the breakbulk division of the Japanese shipping line NYK selected Rotterdam for its service between Europe and the Far East. The quality of the hinterland connections, the lack of superfluous intermediaries and lower port tariffs make Rotterdam highly attractive to breakbulk carriers. “Alongside bulk cargo, we will also unload breakbulk in Rotterdam. This will simply make our port calls more effective,” commented general manager Seiji Ando of NYK in a press statement. The liner service between Europe and the Far East sails monthly with vessels between 20,000 and 30,000 tonnes between the Japanese port cities of Yokohama and Kobe and Rotterdam.

The breakbulk segment is not only performing well in Rotterdam. In the first quarter of this year, the Belgian port of Antwerp recorded a growth of 2.4% to 2.3 million tonnes. This increase is almost fully attributable to the transhipment of steel, which grew by 14.5% to 1.8 million tonnes. Over the course of 2015, Antwerp saw ro/ro traffic grow by 4.1% to 4.7 million tonnes.

The handling of conventional general cargo rose by a fraction: 1.2% to more than 10 million tonnes.

The results are further supported by major investments in the breakbulk segment; Zuidnatie constitutes the most striking example in this respect. Zuidnatie is implementing a substantial investment programme in Antwerp which will run until 2020. Each year, the group will invest 10 million euros in its two terminals. As recently as two years ago, the general cargo terminal on the Churchilldok was equipped with two additional mobile cranes totalling 9 million euros. However, Zuidnatie did encounter some headwinds due to the fact that less steel was transported from China and India to Germany via Antwerp.

Zeebrugge remains by far the largest car port in the world. In 2015, Zeebrugge set a new record by handling 2,427,950 new cars, an increase of 10.3% compared to 2014 and a staggering 40-percent increase compared to 2012.

The car port mainly benefits from its Scandinavia hub and the transport of cars to the UK ports of Tilbury and Teesport. The total ro/ro volumes amounted to 13.5 million tonnes, an increase of 3.1%.

The storage and transhipment of breakbulk declined in Zeebrugge last year to 1.2 million tonnes, 1.6% less than in 2014.

Definitely not all the northern European ports are doing well though. Hamburg is bearing the brunt in this respect. The transhipment of cargo, including ro/ro, fell by roughly 14% to 1.7 million tonnes in 2015. The German port is disproportionately affected by the trade sanctions against Russia, which have caused the full collapse of the storage and transhipment of cargo for the Russian market. In addition, Hamburg is strongly impacted by the rise of Gdansk, causing the German Hanseatic city to lose a large proportion of its throughput to Poland.

It therefore remains to be seen whether Hamburg will benefit when the breakbulk market rebounds again after 2017. In view of the significant investments in Rotterdam and Antwerp and the rise of Gdansk, Hamburg should worry that it will literally miss the boat in the breakbulk segment.

Centraal Beheer

Insuring in a fast, dire and expert manner Cargo owners are better off not to rely blindly on the liability insurance of their carrier or freight forwarder. After all, damaged or lost cargo will only be covered for the amount stated in the contracts they use. But what if their insurance falls short?

There may be a hefty price to pay.

The height of the compensation is often based on weight and in the case of valuable cargo the price per kilo comes nowhere close to the actual value. For this reason, Paul Amoureus, senior account manager Marine & Logistics at Centraal Beheer, recommends that shippers take out their own Cargo Transport Insurance.

This allows shipments to be insured on a tailor-made basis, covering the risks for all modes of transport: by road, water, air, rail and sea. Unloading and loading are also covered.

Direct writer Centraal Beheer operates as a direct writer.

This offers the insurer from Apeldoorn a unique position in the world of freight transport - especially in combination with its size, experience and know-how. “Direct contact with clients ensures speed and instant clarity,” is one of the advantages

16

In the Spotlight Breakbulk 2016

mentioned by Amoureus. This contact can take place by telephone, fax and e-mail. But more and more, the internet is used as well.

Smart online applications make administrative tasks easier; entrepreneurs save time and can arrange their insurance matters at their convenience.

“This means that in the case of damage, the client also has direct contact with their claims handler. This speeds things up. When transport-related damage is reported, we can offer immediate clarity as to whether or not this is covered. If it is, then we will pay out within two weeks. Next, we contact the responsible transporter - the shipping line, road haulier or other parties - in consultation with the client if applicable.

But by then, the shipper will have already received the funds and can continue trading.

Anyone can sell insurance. But it is not until actual damage arises that such a transport policy becomes concrete. What matters then

Paul Amoureus

is how fast a company can be helped. And nobody can match us in that respect. After all, brokers and intermediaries do not handle damage claims themselves; they need to report to the responsible insurance company.

And that process simply takes more time.”

Cargo application With the Cargo application, a client can submit a claim for each individual transport.

Useful for companies who handle diverse shipments and products. One transport may for example have a deductible whereas the other is carried out at the risk of the recipient. “As long as the terms of the policy are not deviated from, clients can enter the information online from behind their desks.

With a few clicks, the shipment is insured by us and the company can print out the

ect

insurance policy itself.” This is possible anywhere in the world. “The location doesn’t matter, as long as there is a computer with internet access.”

Entire logistics process Shippers can insure all their risks with Centraal Beheer. The company, which works for clients from all over Europe, has about a hundred years of experience insuring transport risks. This becomes apparent from both the company’s policies and coverages and its clear and fast method of working. It is also reflected in its advices: Centraal Beheer goes beyond just actual insurance. Through proper prevention, damage can be avoided. This is where the insurance company distinguishes itself from many other direct writers. “We opt for a pro-active approach. We for example look at the entire process from production to delivery to the customer,

regardless of whether import or export cargo is involved. Together with our clients, we identify the risk moments and next advise on how these risks can be avoided or reduced.” Centraal Beheer insures shipments ‘from locations anywhere in the world to locations anywhere in the world’, as Amoureus puts it.

“In between are all modes of transport: by road, sea, possibly by rail, barge and air.

Then there is all the storage and handling which is required en route. We evaluate the entire logistics process with clients: how will you transport the cargo or have it transported, how will you package the goods and what about the temperature?”

All parties benefit The client can also count on advice: on transport conditions, Incoterms and all other relevant matters. “Clients can also use various tools which we have developed

in-house,” says Amoureus. Centraal Beheer broadly supports its clients. Whether they are the shipper or the owner of the goods: the aim is always to have all parties benefit from the advice and support.

Stena Line meets customers' needs with Shipping Logistics Stena Line is busily expanding its breakbulk activities. This demanding and highly diverse cargo segment is handled by the Shipping Logistics division. Clients can count on tailor-made solutions for both one-off shipments and long-term, multi-modal cargo flows.

In both cases, Stena Line can arrange everything from door to door. This will also be the message conveyed by the company at Breakbulk Europe. “In Antwerp, we want to make clear that we are much more than just a ro-ro shipping company that most people associate Stena Line with”, says Peter Kleberg, Head of Shipping Logistics.

Stena Line’s versatility is reflected in the product groups it handles: automotive, steel, chemicals, project cargo, retail, concrete elements and paper & pulp.

Kleberg heads Shipping Logistics from the company headquarters in Gothenburg.

The team consists of eight people, all of whom have demonstrable track records and therefore the necessary experience and contacts in the sector. The division is supported by local offices throughout Europe; for example Hoek of Holland is responsible for the Benelux, France, Spain and Portugal.

ECG membership “We can take on a broader range of tasks and are able to provide full logistics concepts. The wishes of the customer are leading in that respect: we completely adapt our logistics accordingly. This means

18

In the Spotlight Breakbulk 2016

we can also arrange pre-transport, posttransport and transhipment.”

Stena Line’s recent membership of ECG, the Association of European Vehicle Logistics, serves as confirmation of the company’s commitment to play an active role. ECG allows for cooperation with all modes of transport to better serve the automotive market. “Through ECG, we have access to all possible information about the logistics of new vehicles; we can use this to better serve our customers in that market.”

The cargo is moved by ship to Travemünde.

From there, we use trailers to distribute the cargo to customers throughout Europe.”

Be it steel, paper, chemicals, project cargo or other heavy cargo: Stena Line prefers to take total control. For the client, this means doing business with one trusted partner that can always offer a fitting, customised solution.

Sufficient capacity For transport, Stena Line can turn to its extensive route network in Northwest Europe. (Extra) capacity for breakbulk and project cargo has been created both aboard the ships and at the terminals in recent years. Ro-ro traffic and breakbulk can be optimally combined.

For quick and convenient unloading and loading, breakbulk cargo is often placed on MAFI trailers. “For the Russian steelmaker Mechel, which supplies pipes to our port in Liepaja (Latvia), we have for example purchased new heavy load MAFI trailers which can handle up to 100 tonnes.

Port of Antwerp Europe’s largest breakbulk port continues to grow

2015 was a good year for Antwerp. The port handled 208 million tonnes of cargo in total, an impressive 4.5-percent increase. Breakbulk also saw further growth by 1.2 percent. The main reasons for the growth are the port’s strategic location, the excellent facilities and the outstanding services.

Wim Dillen, head of business development for the Port of Antwerp, is very satisfied with last year’s results. “Given that the maritime industry is a difficult market with lots of competition, I am proud of our continued growth across all sectors; containers, conventional bulk, liquid bulk and breakbulk.”

According to Dillen, various factors are at the heart of the port’s success. One such factor is that Antwerp is a cargo-generating port. “An increase in regional economic activity directly translates to more activity – and therefore more growth – in the port.

This effect has been clearly apparent in recent years.” However, Antwerp is also the largest steel port in Europe, while no steel industry is present in the region. Obviously, there are other reasons behind the growth as well. Dillen: “One factor is our strategic location in Northwest Europe, close to France and Germany. It is very interesting to handle steel through Antwerp. On top of that, we are both an export and an import port, pretty much a port for everyone. This for example means that return cargo is

available for most ships in the breakbulk segment. Each year, we see an increase in breakbulk volumes; last year was no exception with 1.2 percent. That is quite remarkable because a shift is currently underway in which general cargo is increasingly being shipped overseas in containers.”

Many maritime liner services Another advantage of the port of Antwerp is its inland situation on the river.

“In the past, this was still considered a dis­advantage, but nowadays it is commonly seen as an advantage for shippers,” explains Dillen. “From here, the transport to and from the port is about 80 kilo­metres shorter compared to ports situated on the sea. This results in lower fuel costs and lower CO2 emissions and contributes to sustainability.” Other factors contri­ buting to the port of Antwerp’s success are the many maritime liner services (approximately 200 departures per month), the modern facilities and the high quality of staff and services.

“These factors have allowed us to develop into Europe’s largest breakbulk port and the second-largest container port after Rotterdam. Together with the companies here, we aim to retain these positions in 2016, among other things through continuous investments in facilities, services and innovations in such fields as automation and ICT.”

HEBO Maritiemservice Unique crane pontoon for unloading and loading breakbulk HEBO Maritiemservice performs a wide range of services on and around the water, such as the unloading and loading of special cargo using floating sheerleg cranes and crane pontoons. For this, the company will soon commission a new and unique crane pontoon which can lift as well as transport loads up to 600 tonnes.

Family company HEBO Maritiemservice was founded 27 years ago by Henk Bonsink (HEBO), the father of current directors/ owners Gerrit and Wiebbe Bonsink. The company is a maritime service provider in the broadest sense of the word; its roughly 90 employees respond to oil spills and calamities, carry out transport, salvage and hoisting operations and perform many other auxiliary services on and around the water.

HEBO operates throughout the whole of Europe. One of its activities involves the unloading and loading of special, often heavy loads with non-standard dimensions, such as machinery, generators, wind turbines and silos. HEBO does this on behalf of shipping lines, shippers and producers and manufacturers of special machinery and parts thereof. Director Wiebbe Bonsink explains that his company uses special equipment for handling these kinds of breakbulk, such as various types of floating sheerleg cranes and a crane pontoon.

“Until now, each crane can handle cargo up to 300 tonnes. However, we are currently building a special crane pontoon which will allow us to both lift and transport loads up to 600 tonnes. This crane pontoon will be commissioned at the end of the year.”

Pontoon with a unique concept The new crane pontoon will be named HEBO-Lift 2. Special about the vessel is that

20

The HEBO-Lift 2 will be stationed in Rotterdam but will be deployed in waters throughout Europe. Bonsink: “Companies can of course also call on us to just perform hoisting operations. But most companies however want us to fully unburden them from A to Z – after all, that is our specialty!

We offer our clients a ‘one stop shopping’ concept for the transport of special loads.” it is being built according to a new concept unique in this class. Bonsink: “The HEBOLift 2 will be equipped with two cranes that can each turn auto­nomously. Conventional floating sheerleg cranes are equipped with one single, non-rotatable crane; in order to change the direction of the crane, the actual vessel needs to be repositioned.

Our new pontoon however combines the power of a floating sheerleg crane with the flexibility of a crane pontoon. For lifting heavier loads, the cranes can be tensioned in various configurations regarding boom lengths and hoisting angles. Also special is that the HEBO-Lift 2 is capable of transporting cargo, for example making it suitable for shortsea transport.”

Zeeland Seaports The ever increasing importance of breakbulk

Breakbulk and project cargo are increasingly becoming more important for Zeeland Seaports.

The efforts of the logistics service providers within the port are generating effect.

New cargo flows are attracted with some regularity. Both on the quays and in the port, all the necessary facilities are present and there is still plenty of space available.

Vlissingen and Terneuzen benefit from their situation on open water (the Western Scheldt) and the guaranteed draught of 16.50 metres. Another strong point is the central location in Northwest Europe.

Shipping lines and logistics service pro­ viders, shippers and cargo recipients alike are interested in the possibilities the port offers, explains Marcel Pater, commercial manager Breakbulk, Offshore and Project Cargo at Zeeland Seaports. Pater says that ample space – more than 150 hectares in total – is still available in both ports.

Offshore wind “The handling of project cargo and asso­ ciated activities such as assembly require a relatively large amount of space. Take the offshore wind industry: Vlissingen plays a key role in the realisation of many wind farms in the North Sea. This sector is still growing.”

Foundations and other major components are efficiently moved by barge or shortsea vessel and consolidated; next, they are

transported to the wind farms out at sea using large installation vessels.

“These installation vessels are quite expensive and Zeeland Seaports offers a short sailing time and smooth handling. Combined with excellent access for inland barges, these advantages consistently prove a winning combination.”

Zeeland Seaports also boasts excellent road and rail connections. “And we are substantially investing here as well.

Last year, the Sluiskil tunnel was opened; important for the north-south route. The doubling of the Sloeweg, the link road to the A58 motorway, will be completed before the end of the year.”

Vlissingen is market leader in Northwest Europe for cellulose, which mainly arrives from South America.

In recent years, various cargo flows have been shifted to Zeeland Seaports. One example is the bananas of Chiquita. In 2014, the company already decided to concentrate part of its European imports via Vlissingen. To their satisfaction, it seems, as this year volumes will be further increased and more reefers will be arriving. Confirmation of the versatility of the Zeeland ports.

Versatility Zeeland Seaports has already been spe­ci­ fically focusing on breakbulk for years now.

For example, strong clusters of specialised stevedores and auxiliary service providers have been established. The main clusters are steel & metals, forest products, offshore and project cargo.

NileDutch Specialist in overseas shipments to West Africa

NileDutch is essentially the only medium-sized carrier that can compete with the top three container carriers regarding global connections with this region. The company stands out in terms of its extensive knowledge of and experience in West Africa, the extensive range of services on offer and the direct contact it offers clients.

Senegal, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Nigeria, Equatorial Guinea, Cameroon, Democratic Republic of Congo, Congo-Brazzaville and Angola: just a few of the West African countries served by NileDutch. In Europe, the Dutch shipping line does this through liner services from the Benelux (Antwerp), France (Le Havre) and Portugal (Lisbon and Leixoes) to Senegal (Dakar) Cote d'Ivoire (Abidjan), Congo-Brazzaville (Pointe Noire) and Angola (Luanda and Lobito).

From these destinations in Africa, cargo is next transported onward to other destinations in West Africa using the shipping line’s extensive feeder network.

NileDutch also serves West Africa from the Far East, South Africa, South America, the eastern Mediterranean and the east coast of the United States. COO Jan Willem de Braal: “We are the only comparatively small carrier that offers liner services from across the globe to West Africa.

We do this with our own ships and the – mostly dedicated - ships of our partners.”

NileDutch is headquartered in Rotterdam and operates a network of offices and agencies throughout the world. In total, the shipping line employs about 600 people.

Tried and tested in West Africa Over time, NileDutch started to transport increasing numbers of containers to West Africa. In recent years, there has however been a clear upswing in ro/ro and breakbulk again. For these flows, NileDutch deploys MPVs, Multi Purpose Vessels capable of transporting containers, ro/ro and breakbulk. The Braal: “This allows us to operate far more efficiently.

We consolidate shipments aboard our MPVs and also call at smaller ports.”

Nile­Dutch has a wealth of knowledge about West Africa and years of experience with local cargo handling procedures.

This distinguishes the shipping line from others. “In West Africa, the rules may change suddenly or problems relating to infrastructure or certain practical issues may occur. In those cases, it is important

to know the country and the culture well.

We are tried and tested in West Africa and our people are highly knowledgeable of the local situation.

This allows us to optimally support our customers; one of the reasons why many shippers rely on us to carry their cargo to West Africa. In addition, we build long-term relationships with our customers, are available round-the-clock and keep the lines of communication short. Because with us, the customer comes first.”

Robert World Wide Shipping Ltd.

Worry-free international transport The customer is king! That is the daily motto of Robert World Wide Shipping. This maritime shipping agent arranges the worldwide sea transport of ro/ro, heavy lift, conventional/breakbulk cargo and containers for its clients.

The company distinguishes itself in the market through dedication, 24/7 availability and the ability to fully unburden the customer.

Whether the maritime transport of mobile loads such as cars, trucks, trailers and earthmoving and road construction equipment is involved or (extremely) heavy machinery or general cargo and breakbulk: Robert World Wide Shipping arranges the entire international transport from A to B for its clients, including ad­ministrative formalities and customs formalities if desired. According to Robert van Straten, his company always aims to distinguish itself in the market through a high degree of dedication, round-the-clock availability and comprehensive transport status reports and by organising the entire transport for the shipper. “As a result, he can fully focus on his core business while we perfectly arrange the maritime transport from A to B for him. We transport cargo to anywhere in the world, only work with reputable companies (First Class Carriers) and always select the best quotes with the best conditions and the best price-quality ratio for our clients.”

Selecting the best option Robert World Wide Shipping was launched in 2013. Robert van Straten himself however has more than 27 years of experience as a certified cargo broker for international maritime shipments; as such, he has a

24

In the Spotlight Breakbulk 2016

wealth of commercial, operational and technical experience in this field. “Bear in mind that this is a highly specialised market which we know very well. We are familiar with all the ins and outs of maritime transport and have good connections with virtually all the First Class Carriers (FCCs). This enables us to offer our clients the best contracts.

Of course, the interests of the shipper always come first.” In many cases, the clients of Robert World Wide Shipping can choose from different quotes from different carriers, allowing them to select the best option for them. “If required, we can advise them in this,” says Van Straten.

“For example, take a company looking for transport of heavy machinery to Asia.

This can be done from Amsterdam and Antwerp, but also from Zeebrugge and various German ports. In this case, the difference in price for the transport to and from the port determines the best option.”

Robert World Wide Shipping offers

shippers added value in other respects as well. “I can state with absolute confidence that we fully unburden our clients,” says Van Straten. “And, because of our com­petitive margins, at a better price too. In short, we offer nothing but advantages.”

Sealane Terminals Environment-friendly breakbulk to Norway

Nor Lines is a Norwegian shipping line that transports frozen fish from Norway to Eemshaven and among other things takes back breakbulk as return cargo. Since last year, the company has been using two new ships for this. The ships are powered by LNG and besides frozen products they can also transport trailers (ro/ro), containers and pallets.

The Kvitbjørn (White Bear) and the Kvitnos (White-beaked Dolphin). These are the names of the two new ships of Nor Lines which now maintain the weekly liner service between the Eemshaven, Cuxhaven in Germany and about 30 Norwegian ports.

Sealane Terminals acts as the agent and stevedore for Nor Lines in Northwest Europe and among other things arranges the storage and transhipment of frozen fish. Sealane has 25 employees at the Eemshaven in Groningen, where it operates a 3.5-hectare terminal, two 150-metre quays with a water depth of nine metres, a cold store for 20,000 pallets and a covered storage facility of 2,000 m2 for non-temperature controlled cargo.

Manager Sales & Operations Jurjen Gravendeel explains that the ships of Nor Lines fit in with a new concept in which the shipping line transports higher volumes and more varied kinds of cargo in addition to temperature controlled products from the Eemshaven and Cuxhaven to Norway.

“The layout of and special facilities aboard the new ships offer many more possibilities for this. A much greater variety of return

cargo can be transported, which is handled much faster as well.”

Relatively clean transport The Kvitbjørn and the Kvitnos can for example store 2,000 tonnes of frozen products at -25 degrees Celsius; there is also a ro/ro deck with a capacity of about 40 trailers and the deck outside can accommodate approximately 40 con­ tainers. So plenty of options to transport breakbulk, but also containers and other non-temperature controlled cargo, to Norway. As an additional advantage, the new ships sail on LNG, making the transport relatively clean.

Gravendeel “Because it is currently not yet possible to bunker LNG in the Eemshaven, the ships take LNG aboard in Norway for the entire trip. Groningen Seaports however is working hard to realise LNG facilities.” Sealane among other things focuses on the acquisition of return cargo for Nor Lines. Gravendeel mainly targets specific flows such as building materials (e.g. roof tiles, insulation materials and components for offshore wind farms), packing materials and

garden centre products such as potting soil and garden furniture in that respect.

"Since the commissioning of the new vessels, we have noticed a significant increase in the non-temperature controlled return flow to Norway. This is because we have a lot to offer to shippers on this route.”

Global construction company supports transport activities with INTRIS

BESIX, the largest construction company in Belgium, is mainly active in Europe, Africa and the Middle East. The company uses subcontractors to transport materials but always retains full control in this respect. Everything runs smoothly thanks to the software of Intris.

BESIX can be associated with such presti­ gious projects as the Khalifa football stadium (for the World Cup 2020 in Qatar), the i­mpressive Belgian pavilion at the World Expo in Milan (2015), the Burj Khalifa in Dubai (the tallest skyscraper in the world) and numerous other spectacular structures.

“We outsource the transport of materials to specialised transport companies, but we manage everything and always retain full control,” explains Pascal Beeckmans, director Procurement & Logistics. “We work with different forwarding agents. Some cargo, especially urgent spare parts, needs to be transported by air, but most often maritime transport is used. And for European projects, we generally use road transport.”

All transports are monitored by BESIX right up to the final destination, including the document flows.

“In total, some 2,000 to 3,000 maritime shipments a year are involved, mainly groupage consignments from 10 to 15 different suppliers. This means 15 different loading lists and customs documents, which

makes monitoring these flows relatively complex.”

“Until a couple of years ago, we monitored our shipments using a program that was developed eight years ago, but on a platform that is now no longer current. Furthermore, we were looking for a more transparent reporting system. We could either fully ‘rebuild’ the system we were using or turn to an external partner who could ensure that the system was always up-to-date. We opted for the latter and were thus introduced to Intris. It became apparent pretty quickly that they were the ideal partner for us, for three reasons: the price, the functionalities and their references. They had an adequate response to all possible cases that we presented to them and these solutions were easy and user-friendly as well. Furthermore, we knew several of their customers and they highly praised their system and method of working.”

With TRIS Forwarding, BESIX now has a solution that allows the company to manage

cargo flows in a transparent manner; which volumes were shipped, what was their value and how do staff deployment and revenues relate to one another?

“TRIS Forwarding allows us to be much more exact in our offers and our transport organisation,” concludes Pascal Beeckmans.
