FREIGHT & TRADING WEEKLY

BY Alan Peat

The current climate is perfect for an entrepreneur to enter the shipping industry.

That’s the view of an industry contact interviewed by FTW last week.

“They can pick up ships cheaply and offer good rates,” he said, “because major lines are struggling with huge

overheads and paying off ships that can’t be used.”

He seemed to think that these possibly over-committed majors were particularly vulnerable at a time like this.

Following up on this theory, FTW talked to a ship’s agency executive who fully agreed with these sentiments.

“We do see charter prices dropping, and so people can

get ships on the cheap,” he said.

“Get them at the right rate for a specified period, and – even adding your bunker costs and the like – you could still offer good rates and earn a margin on this lower base cost.”

And remember, he added, you could niggle away at the majors’ rates – “Because the

biggies just can’t reduce their container rates and still escape alive”.

He also suggested that the theory did not just apply to independent entrepreneurs, but also to established shipping lines.

“If a shipping line is not so committed to expensive new tonnage as most of the well-known names in the global

container liner market,” he said, “and can pick up charter tonnage on the cheap, it might suit the line to go it alone on a trade where previously it had been part of a consortium.”

Although it has made no suggestion that it plans any such moves, Evergreen, for example, could be such a player. According to Lloyds

Charters are cheap – so you can offer good rates

More than 10% of the world’s container fleet capacity is currently parked off in chosen safe anchorages – silent and unwanted.

According to the latest AXS Alphaliner stats, of a global fleet of 4 690 vessels totalling over 12.5-m TEU capacity, 453 container ships with a total capacity of 1.35-million TEUs are sitting idle – and it’s still a growing number.

It’s got really bad in the past six months.

Last October the figures read 70 ships idle, total capacity on stand-down, 150 000 TEUs. By December 8 this had bumped out to 135 ships of 300 000 TEU capacity, and by February 2 it had rocketed out to 303 (800 000 TEUs).

Now we’re on 453 (1.35-m), and still counting.

Ships lie idle in Singapore … 453 of the world’s container fleet are parked off in safe achorages.

Knowing your Products’ Tariff History

One of the more frequent questions that we receive on a daily basis relates to the prevailing rate of customs duty.

As with all things in life, there is a reason behind it that more often than not is a result of previous tariff investigations.And it is astounding how many people are not aware of the reasoning.

If you are importing into South Africa or manufacturing a product in South Africa, surely you should know the history that contributed to the prevailing rate of customs duty?

If you have not done this before, you should now make an effort to research it – and you need to start your investigation from 01 January 1988, the year in which the Harmonised System or HS-code was introduced in South Africa.

If you’re interested visit www.tariffhistory.co.za. It could be an opportunity to consider the justification for the existence of the rate of customs duty.

Appointment of ITAC Commissioners

On 03 December 2008 a statement was issued by Cabinet following its meeting in which, amongst other things, it mentioned that the appointments of four commissioners to the International Trade Administration Commission of South Africa (Itac) had been approved.

Ms LB Mabaso has been appointed as the Itac Deputy Chief Commissioner. Part-time Commissioners – for a period of three years – are Mr R Mkhwanazi, Mr C Viljoen de Lange and Mr M Marokolo.

Their appointments took effect from 01 March 2009.

13th Deferment Payment – Financial Year EndThe South African Revenue Service (Sars) has issued a reminder that the 13th payment is due in March. The 13th period closes on 22 March 2009 and statements must be collected on 23 March 2009. Payment must be settled by no

The SA-US joint venture, Electro-Motive Sibanye, has failed in its court bid to stop Transnet from issuing a new tender to buy 100 locomotives – which the JV said it believed was replacing the R6.5-billion tender for 212 locomotives awarded to it 19-months ago.

The joint venture is between Sibanye Trade & Services (STS) and Chicago-based Electro-Motive Diesel and Locomotive Company (EMD) – one of the leading international locomotive manufacturers,

Transnet told the South Gauteng High Court that the tender for 100 locomotives was separate and distinct from the one to buy 212 locomotives.

It cancelled the R6.5-bn tender, it added, because a “whistleblower” led it to believe there was a corrupt

relationship between one of its officials and one of the directors of Electro-Motive Sibanye, the preferred bidder.

The court was told that a forensic investigation by Ernst & Young, commissioned by Transnet, revealed a personal and business relationship between Percival Mosweu, the GM for capital programmes at Transnet Freight Rail (TFR), and Gustav Adams, a director

of the Electro-Motive Sibanye joint venture.

Mosweu, who chaired the rail subsidiary's adjudicating steering committee and sat on the acquisitions council, did not disclose his relationship with Adams during the tender review process

Transnet also said it had made a mistake when rating the black economic empowerment (BEE) status of the joint venture. In a legal exchange it was revealed that an investigation had shown that an evaluation of the broad-based BEE (BBBEE) status had focused exclusively on STS and not on the joint venture. The result was that the bidder achieved a 100% score.

"In this regard it needs to be borne in mind that STS only has a 30% interest (in Electro-Motive Sibanye) and if the score was adjusted accordingly, then your client would have scored less than it

did in respect of the BBBEE criteria," the letter said.

After hearing this, and extensive other evidence, the court rejected Electro-Motive Sibanye’s application for an interdict, and awarded costs against the applicant.

Transnet welcomed the ruling, said spokesman John

Dludlu, which cleared the way for the para-statal to close the tender for the acquisition of 100 locomotives as a matter of urgency this week, and press ahead with its locomotive fleet renewal programme.

But although Transnet can go ahead with its loco buying, the issue is not finally resolved, with cases within

this case, according to the judge.

For example, the proceedings for final relief that the JV intends to institute, he said, “may potentially take a few years to complete”.

To complete the current issue, however, business writer Slindile Khanyile has raised an interesting point.

The journalist reported that the botched R6.5-bn tender for 212 locomotives might prevent Siyabonga Gama, CE of Transnet Freight Rail (TFR), from becoming the group CE of holding company Transnet.

The state-owned transport utility is looking for a successor to Maria Ramos, who left last month to head financial services group Absa.

Gama, who has worked at Transnet for 15 years and has also been CE of the National Ports Authority (NPA), is reportedly a front runner for the top job.

Legal specialists lament delay in maritime policy feedbackBy Alan Peat

The SA maritime legal fraternity is disturbed that the draft maritime policy – on which the Maritime Law Association (MLA) was rushed to comment before the end of last October – has silently disappeared onto the maw of the department of transport.

“We remain concerned at the lack of feedback from the DoT,” Andrew Robinson, MLA president and maritime legal specialist at Durban attorneys, Deneys Reitz, told FTW, “but we intend taking this up with the department before the end of this month.”

The SA Maritime Safety Authority (Samsa) – which is handling the creation of the white paper on maritime policy for the DoT – told Robinson that there was a process to be followed.

“According to the legal adviser to Samsa, the white paper is about to be completed and it is in its final stages. I understand about 10 responses were received, but I am not sure who they were – apart from the MLA and SA Master

Mariners Society.“He also mentioned a meeting

with the department of transport this month to discuss the policy with them – and to ensure that the white paper did not contradict the department’s policy.”

At the same time, the MLA was informed that Samsa and the department were also to discuss direction given by the cabinet on the policy.

“As soon as they have met with the department and have discussed these two matters, they will be in a better position to state exactly how far they are with the policy,” said Robinson.

The problem, he reckoned, was what he termed “a massive logjam” of statutory matters clogging up the departmental works.

“We need to break that up,” he said.

One of the issues that must now be discussed, Robinson added, is the need to review the policy in the light of current market trends.

“The draft policy stressed the development of SA ship-owning,” he said. “But that’s not a good market at the moment, with 453 container ships currently sitting idle.”

That policy aim was also one that Tony Norton of Garlicke & Bousfield and chairman of the National Port Users Forum (NPUF) questioned when FTW originally spoke to him on the issue.

“It’s really part of an old debate,” he told FTW, “with some saying that protectionist measures (as suggested in the draft policy) will interfere with a cheap, free flow of trade – all in order to build a national fleet.”

These two elements may not be compatible and proper economic research needs to be conducted, he added.

Training vital for auto industryThe automotive industry plays a top-of-the-bill role in SA’s overall trade arena, according to Gwen Gerber of Gerber Shipping Academy.

It’s a massive player when you take into account the number of importers country wide, international suppliers, countries of origin, indent agencies and range of commodities, she told FTW.

“As a result,” she added, “it is also one of the industries where accurate and creative indent tracking is in very big demand. The customs entry clerks need to know their tariffs by heart and channel controllers need to be really efficient to satisfy these customers.”

It is well worth spending time becoming highly proficient in saving auto industry clients time, effort and cost in the supply chain.

The Gerber Shipping Academy curricula are designed to add extra polish to the skills of trainee sales reps at all levels.

Planning and forecasting, undoubtedly regarded as the single biggest challenge to an efficient supply chain, will become increasingly important for the success of companies in the current economic climate.

This was one of the findings of the annual Supply Chain Intelligence Report (SCIR) released in Johannesburg last week. Conducted locally, the international, independent study on supply chain management and logistics practices in emerging countries aims to provide an insight into the many forces that are driving change in supply chain management and how the most successful companies are dealing with these new and evolving challenges, said Brett Bowes, CEO of TerraNova which conducted the research.

A total of 210 respondents

participated in the survey. Approximately one third of the sample were senior supply chain executives while 19.5% were logistics middle management. It was concluded that the only truly effective way to address the planning and forecasting challenge was to improve visibility in the supply chain while simultaneously increasing its reactivity.

“It is our view that visibility is primarily achieved through the efficient use of technology and collaborative partnerships, both forward and backward in the supply chain. Supply chain reactivity is best improved through the appropriate use of in-sourcing, outsourcing and virtual resourcing, as well as through integrative

techniques.”Bowes said it was found

that companies with the ability to plan and forecast were all more successful than their competitors.

“Through the research we developed four quadrants in which we placed the various respondents depending on their answers. The Complexity Masters quadrant, which was found to have a complex value chain, used more technology and implemented collaboration at all levels, while their reactivity was also brilliant.”

Bowes said it was clear from the research that companies that had these qualities while also being more sensitive to local and global market changes had been proven to be the more successful businesses.

SA companies show alarming disregard for ‘green’ issuesBy Liesl Venter

South African companies are not as concerned about the environment as many would like to believe, according to Brett Bowes, CEO of TerraNova, who conducted the research for the latest Supply Chain Intelligence Report.

“Surprisingly, many South African companies do not have any measures regarding the impact of their supply chains and operations on the environment, nor do they plan to introduce any of these measures within the next 12 months,” he said at the launch of the 2009 SCIR in Johannesburg last week.

“This revelation is quite startling considering the long-publicised and growing concern about the environment globally,” said Bowes. “Lack of attention to environmental and social issues can have profound negative effects on long-term success.”

According to Bowes the 210 respondents in the survey were

asked to indicate whether any of the KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) from a provided list would be (or already were) forming part of their supply chain measurement metrics. The environment did not score highly.

“Interestingly enough the research showed the most successful companies stated that they already had or planned to introduce metrics to measure their impact on the environment.”

Bowes said this progressive behaviour was perhaps partly driven by issues of global complexity and the fact that many bigger companies (most of the companies who responded positively to the question have turnovers of more than a R1 billion per annum) were required to conform to certain standards in international markets. “Or perhaps these companies are more sensitive to changing consumer, employee and shareholder expectations and believe that they can boost their long-term sustainability by being proactive in this regard.”

Angola is one of the trade opportunities in Africa that must be recognised by SA exporters, according to Duncan Bonnett of trade consultancy, Whitehouse & Associates.

It’s certainly difficult to enter because it’s expensive to do business there, he told FTW.

“You need to be aware of the problems, because even the logistics into Angola is very difficult. But it’s a very rewarding market once you’re there.”

According to Bonnett’s figures, SA exports into Angola have almost doubled since 2005. The total for 2005 was R3.5-billion, and the January-to-November 2008 total was R6.6-bn (“Close to R7-bn for the full year,” Bonnett noted).

“If you look at that part-year figure for 2008, our exports were up 22% (by about R1-bn) on the full-year in 2007,” he added.

“That’s pretty impressive in a global economy staring into an abyss, and would suggest that there’s still a lot of business in Angola.”

The major point about Angola is that it’s entirely import-dependent.

“Angola is an opportunity that just can’t be missed,” said Bonnett. “We can export across the range – from chemicals, motor vehicles, electronic and electrical equipment and white goods to spare parts and supermarket goods in general.”

SA’s not on its own in taking advantage of this high

import demand.“There’s lots of interest in

Europe, for example,” said Bonnett, “and, of course, the Chinese involvement.”

He also emphasised that there were still lots of projects going into Angola, and these themselves generated lots of export opportunity.

“At first they need imports of the likes of steel and other metals, and other goods and equipment in the construction category,” Bonnett told FTW. “Then in the operational stage, they’ll need all sorts of spares, extra equipment and materials, and their economic activity will generate import demands from third-party suppliers to the project and more regional consumer spend.”

Angola’s main problem of the moment is that, as an almost entirely oil-dependent exporter, its economic health is very closely linked to the global oil market – and that’s in a depressed state at the moment.

According to a Reuters report earlier this year, the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (Opec) cut production by 4.2-million

barrels-per-day (bpd) in January to prop up oil prices, which had collapsed by more than US$100 a barrel from a record high of US$147.27 in mid-2008 as the global economic downturn eroded demand.

Angola’s share in this production cut was over 200 000-bpd, but the actual export output is expected to be around 1.62-m bpd of crude oil through February, and its

anticipated exports for March and April remain steady at the same figure.

While this would suggest that Angola’s economy has collapsed, there is still a lot going on in the country, according to Bonnett.

“One shouldn’t take a jaundiced view of the opportunities in Angola,” he said. “It’s still a very exciting market.”

A year since the opening of its Gauteng office, GAC Laser has made significant inroads, says CEO Simon Hayes.

“Our Western Cape and Natal operations are well established, but Gauteng was where it all happened for us last year.

“This year we hope to consolidate and make the best of it.”

Previously the company operated a satellite office in Johannesburg, run from Durban. “At the beginning of last year we employed some senior people and have grown revenue significantly.

“We strengthened the sales team and took on a 5 000 m2 warehouse on the East Rand where we now have a 35-strong staff complement.”

And it’s the company’s supply chain capability that

adds value, says Hayes – from clearing and forwarding to warehousing, unpacking and distribution.

While the Cape Town and Durban operations are strongly seafreight-focused, in Johannesburg airfreight exports are the mainstay, comprising some 80% of the business.

“The Far East has been a big market for us – and through GAC we are well represented in the region.”

While the macro-economic picture may appear less than rosy, the company is quoting on a number of international tenders to the Far East.

“For us, business is looking very promising,” Hayes said.

The dream of a highspeed train linking Johannesburg, Pretoria and the airport is slowly but surely becoming a reality.

With construction having reached the halfway mark, Gautrain is set to change the public transport system of Gauteng forever.

According to Dr Barbara Jensen, marketing and communications director for Gautrain, it has been history in the making since the get-go.

“After 29 months of

construction, the tunnel boring machine has completed its work and is already being packed up. This was the first time such a machine was used in the country, while groundbreaking techniques are being used in the construction of the viaducts on which the train will run in certain sections.”

With the train set to start operating on the OR Tambo/Sandton line on June 27, 2010, construction is progressing well, says Jensen. “This date is two weeks after the start of the Soccer World Cup –

simply because Gautrain was never intended as a World Cup Project but rather to address the transport system in Gauteng.”

The Johannesburg/Hatfield line will start operating some nine months later. According to Jensen the trip between Johannesburg and Hatfield will take just on 40 minutes including stops at the various stations, while it will take 15 minutes from the airport to Sandton.

According to Jensen forecasts indicate a potential current ridership of more

than 100 000 passengers per day, which is well over the international norm for a new rail service.

Fares have yet to be determined, but will be lower than the perceived cost of using a car. “Our concession agreement is of such a nature that fees cannot be hiked unreasonably. It will be more expensive than existing rail and taxi fares.”

Jensen said it was not just about the train but rather the entire transport system upgrade.

“There will be 36 feeder and

distribution routes spanning some 420km that the 150 buses will service bringing passengers to and from the stations. A smartcard system will be introduced to use for all payment whether it be train tickets, bus fees or parking.

With 96 coaches being constructed, a single train will consist of four carriages but more can be linked if necessary. The Gautrain is set to operate daily from 5.30am to 8.30pm, with frequency varying every ten to 30 minutes depending on the train schedule.

While the needy in Africa are likely to go hungry due to cut-backs in foreign aid, the effects will also be felt in South Africa’s freight and logistics sectors.

The lucrative and once growing aid business in Africa is set to shrink thanks to the global financial crisis, if predictions by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (Unctad) prove accurate.

“If past experience is anything to go by, today’s financial crisis will deal a hard blow to official development assistance (ODA) flows.

“The current recession, and some of the stimulus measures being introduced to combat it, is compounding budget deficits and budget reallocations in many donor countries. ODA is a soft target in such situations; during past

banking crises, it has dipped anywhere from 20% to 40%,” warns the organisation in a media release.

This will affect large parts of the logistics sector in southern Africa, ranging from the ports unloading aid to trucking companies transporting the aid supplies.

The effects will be long-term, and may influence world trade. “ODA levels tend to recover very slowly,” warns Unctad.

“Developing countries will be caught short, lacking the productive capacity they need to take advantage of reviving opportunities,” it adds.

For many developing countries, “foreign aid provides the main, and in some cases the only source of the financing needed to prevent their sliding into deep recession and losing their hard-earned productive and exporting capacities.”

The plea from the SA Reserve Bank (SARB) for more exporters to join in on phase two of the electronic monitoring and matching of exports (EME) pilot project appears to have fallen on deaf ears, according to Reserve Bank senior manager Queen Mogane, who heads up the project.

This follows a call at the recent meeting between SARB and the members of the Johannesburg chapter of the Exporters’ Club of SA, where Mogane stressed that the computer-based system was aimed at phasing out the tedious, manually-prepared Form 178.

She expressed her surprise that this had not tempted more exporters to participate in EME – a project, she told FTW, that had benefits for the exporter.

But her plea at the Exporters’ Club meeting has

resulted in no further contact from exporters, although, she told FTW, “it normally takes some time for the applications to get to us”.

This because, to take part in the scheme, exporters need to enter into an agreement with the SARB, said Mogane. “A signed copy of this agreement between the exporter and the bank must be

submitted to the bank via the authorised dealer (usually the commercial banks) with other documentation.”

In early meetings with a select number of exporters, where she had hinted at the nature of the project, Mogane said that “they all said they’d be delighted to see the back of the Form 178”.

“It not only allows for a more streamlined process, but sees the entire process being simplified and computerised and it is part of the initiative to do away with paper-based and manual forms.”

The new system replaces the old Form 178 – the means now of matching the physical flow of export goods with the flow of export proceeds or receipts coming into SA.

But Mogane thinks that there is some resistance on the part of exporters, with the suspicion that the critical “unique consignment reference (UCR)” number is the reason.

“Many exporters,” she

said, “have been hesitant to apply for the project as they are struggling with the UCR number and therefore have not wanted to participate.”

But she agreed with FTW’s suggestion that clear communication was essential if exporters were to be alerted to the EME concept, how it will work, and what its benefits were.

As part of this “closing of the information gap”, Mogane also agreed with FTW to immediately extend her EME workshop programme to Durban.

The scheme was welcomed by Mike Peddle who runs the Durban chapter of the Exporters’ Club – and who stressed that information on such a scheme was vital to forward planning by exporters.

He also told FTW that an approach would be made to all the chapter’s members, and the date of the workshop revealed as soon as everything could be organised.

Queen Mogane … UCR number a sticking point.

Eskom markets alternative power sourceOur now notoriously underfunded and insufficient power utility, Eskom, seems to be determined to do itself out of business, with the launch of a major internet marketing programme for an alternative power source for the SA market.

It is busy promoting the use of solar water heaters with its rebated solar water heating programme – and alternative energy source that the electric power producer said can reduce a user’s water heating bill by as much as 70%.

And its sales patter is highly lyrical.

“The sun's endless supply of clean energy is harnessed via this technology which uses the sun's heat to supply your hot water,” Eskom says. “Solar water heaters are environmentally friendly and can decrease your monthly electricity account by nearly half.”

Pressure cooker intensity was evident as Cape Town Container Terminal worked feverishly to come to grips with a series of adverse operational factors in order to handle 18 further arrivals last week.

As dusk fell last Friday, Oscar Borchards, business unit executive manager for the terminal, told FTW: “We need to clear the vessel backlog using our maximum resources, including bringing in staff on overtime pay, as there are already six vessels waiting outside and a further two due over the weekend.”

Listing the various factors that have made life more than a little difficult, Borchards recalls the savage South-easterly wind

that sprung up on February 28, blowing some of the 25 000 competitors in the Argus Pick ’n Pay race from their cycles the next day, and only abating on Monday morning, accounting for 35 operational hours lost.

This was compounded by another seven hours lost due to Eskom power cuts over two successive days – and as one would expect, resulting in equipment inactivity.

Reports reflect that for whatever reason, only two cranes worked MSC Flamingo and MSC Voyager after their arrival on March 12 and 13, whereas three cranes per vessel are the norm, if circumstances permit.

Container liner operators are none too happy with the state

of affairs, one complaining of a seeming “lack” of technical supervision and “improper planning” at the terminal.

“It has happened that a crane would go out at say, 14:00, but the crew goes home at 16:00 and only attends to repairs at 06:00 the following day. This is totally unacceptable to us and detrimental to the container lines.”

Borchards admits to a departure of technical expertise, staff having resigned “for various reasons” but insists there is no shortfall, nor a lack of skills.

What is more, he says, an in-house training programme launched two years ago for engineer and artisan apprentices is beginning to yield the first dividends.

Terminals to close on April 22Transnet Port Terminals has advised that the container terminals will close at 06:00 on April 22 and reopen at 06:00 on April 23 following the announcement of a public holiday on that date.

Transnet tariff increase will hike petrol costsBP Africa has called on Transnet to rethink a proposed tariff increase to cover the cost of building a new oil pipeline from Durban to Gauteng.

Sipho Maseko, BP Africa chief executive, this week told journalists the proposed 300% tariff increase would hurt motorists and the Gauteng economy. He said while his organisation was not against the building of the pipeline and supported the increase of pipeline capacity in the country, they were definitely opposed to the chosen method of funding. According to BP Africa, this funding method will see Gauteng motorists having to pay an average of

39 cents a litre more for petrol over the next two years.

Major line believes it can make rate hikes stickMaersk Line believes it can make rate increases stick in the major Asia-Europe container trade despite an expectation that cargo volumes will fall throughout 2009 on a year-on-year basis, reports Lloyds List. Some 25 services, with a nominal capacity of 115 000 TEUs, have been withdrawn since last July.

Shipping lines on financial edgeSeafreight plummeting 20% in January set a lot of shipping lines on the financial edge, facing collapsing cargo volumes at the same time as massive fleet expansion plans were being conducted. This could have a drastic effect, according to the Shipping Gazette.

Reader comment - ‘Staff cutbacks are about survival’I would not agree with

the statements by Richard in yesterday’s Cargo Info News (Business is for the shareholders and profits first – and to achieve that is to streamline the lower levels.)

Small and medium businesses are experiencing difficult times and the owners and management make every effort to protect and retain the valuable employees. This is in order to survive the downturn and be ready for the expected cyclical upturn. Raoul Otto

‘Timing is perfect for entrepreneur’

Truck strike threat – latest Africa’s exports to US could drop by half

By Alan Peat

The immediate threat of a truck drivers’ strike has diminished after the Road Freight Employers’ Association (RFEA) and the SA Transport and Allied Workers’ Union (Satawu) met last Friday.

This after the threat became real with wage talks deadlocked. The employers’ final offer was 11% on the minimum wages and 11% across-the-board (ATB). The unions were still set on an ATB of 15% and a total increase in the minima of 37%, as well as a host of other issues – like higher allowances and introduction of new allowances.

“But we have still not received any official notice to strike,” Magretia Brown, labour relations officer of the Road Freight Association (RFA), told FTW.

“And, during this meeting with the union at the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation, and Arbitration (CCMA),

Satawu gave an informal undertaking that if they were to give us notice of a strike, it would be at least 10-days’ notice, and not the mandatory 48 hours as per the Labour Relations Act.”

Although this was not in writing, Brown said that, in the light of such a statement being made, “we’re of the opinion that the immediate threat of a

strike is diminished”.This opinion was also

endorsed by something that the union did put in writing.

“We received a letter from Satawu after this meeting, which confirmed that the strike for March 15 was OFF until further discussions with members,” Brown added.

Satawu’s Tabudi Ramakgolo told FTW that the date for the workers’ strike had not yet been fixed, while the union waited for a decision from the CCMA on a technical matter related to the strike.

Delayed it may be, but it’s still on, he added.

Meantime, the RFA has been busy establishing a strike contact centre, designed to assist members with strike guidelines.

According to Brown, if, or when, the strike is officially called the centre will open – and contact details will be distributed.

Updated information will also be carried on the association’s web-site – www.rfa.co.za

As the US and Europe – which account for more than 60% of Africa's total exports – take an inward-looking trade policy stance as part of their economic rescue packages, African exports are set to drop by half, according to information released to FTW by the Trade Law Centre of Southern Africa (tralac).

The export crash is expected to come from America's insistence on using its rescue package money to ‘buy local’ and a similar situation in Europe, where it is emphasised that rescue package beneficiaries should look to retaining local employment levels.

This could hit African exporters hard – with the ‘buy American’ clause in US President Barack Obama's stimulus package requiring firms benefiting from the rescue money to source their raw materials from the domestic market.

That’s the opinion of Chileshe Mulenga, an analyst with the Institute of Economic and Social Research at the University of Zambia, who told a workshop

sponsored by the Commonwealth Secretariat in Zambia that these ‘buy local’ clauses would severely restrict African exports of primary goods to the US because they amount to new non-tariff barriers to trade.

“Should America go ahead to implement this policy, African exports to the US market will drop by half and gains that the continent has recently made under the African Growth and Opportunity Act (Agoa) will be reversed,” he added.

The Swazi Observer reported that economists saw this ‘buy local’ pressure as a major reversal in the drive for an open global trading regime that has been the main driver of economic growth in the developing world over the past decade.

Trudi Hartzenberg, an economist and executive director of tralac, agreed.

She told FTW that demand for a new global financial architecture posed the threat of economic nationalism with a negative impact on the developing economies.

List, its refusal to get into the mega-containership building rush – which kicked off well before the latest global financial crisis – meant it didn’t have the same cost commitments to cover as those lines that had over-spent on very large containerships (VLCs).

But Peter Newton of Seaboard – one of the doyens of the SA shipping industry –

warned that it was a high-risk market to enter.

“First of all,” he told FTW, “the threshold for entry is pretty high.

“It’s a good move at any time – IF you know what you’re doing, and have the necessary financial backing.

“An astute operator could probably do it, but he’d need to have the financial resources, and extremely nimble management, in order

to succeed.”And you need to be able

to effectively market the service at every chosen port of call and present a reputable image. This sort of marketing exercise, Newton added, is one of those “high” threshold costs.

“And people would be reluctant to move across to something that doesn’t look as though it’s going to last,” he said.
