SHIPPING NEWS Rubber exports banned The government of Liberia has banned the export of unprocessed rubber and intends to introduce new regulatory legislation due to corruption, theft, illegal sales and illicit tapping. President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf also wants a greater proportion of Liberian rubber production to be processed within the country. Rubber is Liberia’s biggest source of employment and most valuable export, accounting for 40% of export revenues, though there is some uncertainty over how much is exported in its raw state. Firestone Natural Rubber Company operates the world’s biggest rubber plantation in Liberia under a 100-year concession that runs out in 2025. Most lawful production is shipped from the Port of Monrovia and it is likely that most illegal production also passes through the port. A source in Monrovia revealed that a new inspection regime may benefit from EU funding. An EU mission visited the port in May to identify improvements that EU member states could help finance. Construction work on Monrovia container terminal is already being undertaken as part of APM Terminals’ new concession. According to Matilda Parker, managing director of the National Port Authority (NPA), the ports of Monrovia and Buchanan have been awarded international security clearance. The NPA is hoping to achieve clearance for the country’s other two ports, Greenville and Harper. New Russian ship type Russia’s Nevsky Shipbuilding and Shiprepair plant in Shlisselburg, in Leningrad region, has built a new type of fluvio-maritime bulk carrier in the fashion of the former Volga Don river-sea vessels. NEVA LEADER 3 was built for North-Western Shipping Company (SZMP) and is a self-propelled 7150dwt bulker, which at the time of writing is undergoing sea trials. The vessel is the result of project “RSD 49” undertaken by the Marine Engineering and Design Bureau in Saint Petersburg. It is understood that up to 12 more RSD 49 vessels may be ordered from SZMP-owned Nevsky Shipyard, mainly to carry bulk commodities such as grain, iron and steel, timber, coal, and project cargoes. The areas of operations are the Caspian Sea, White Sea and North Sea and, during the Russian winter, intra-Mediterranean and Irish Sea trades. The vessel has a length overall of 139.95m and a 16.7m beam. River draft is 4.7m and sea draft is 3.6m. Cargo hold capacity is 10,920 m 3 and the midships hold can accept oversized cargo pieces up to 52m long. The vessels are classed by the Russian Maritime Register of Shipping and can carry IMDG classes 1.45, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.1, 8 and 9. Owned by Russian transport and logistics service group UCL Holding, SZMP is Russia’s largest shipping company with a fleet of 105 cargo vessels.

YOUR PARTNER IN TRAILER CONSTRUCTION Houcon Cargo Systems b.v. Alexander Bellstraat 7, 3261 LX Oud-Beijerland P.O. Box 1569, 3260 BB Oud-Beijerland The Netherlands Phone: +31(0)186 - 620930, Fax: +31(0)186 - 615160 E-mail: info@houcon-group.com www.houcon-group.com Member of the Houcon Group Houcon Cargo Systems Lines link up Mitsui OSK Lines (MOL) of Japan and Singapore-based Pacific International Lines (PIL) have inked a series of agreements on the small, but expanding trade lanes connecting South East Asia with the Indian Ocean islands and Mozambique. The deals will mean more effective use of existing ships, better alignment of slot capacity to demand and improved service reliability. A mix of local and deepsea feeder cargo is moved on both routes and with Singapore offering hub opportunities, MOL and PIL can seamlessly plug the Indian Ocean and Mozambique into their global networks. The revised fixed day of the week Indian Ocean service uses 4x 1100 TEU vessels, with each partner contributing two ships. For its part, PIL has stopped its separately scheduled IOL service. The new link features direct calls at Singapore, Port Louis, Tamatave, Reunion and return to Singapore. The Mozambique operation is based on PIL’s new MZS service, which links Singapore with Maputo, Beira and Nacala using seven ships. MOL buys space on the operation and, consequently, has halted its former Mozambique Zuid Africa IOI Service (MZX). Hutchison’s Bulldog spirit John Meredith, group managing director of Hong Kong headquartered Hutchison Port Holdings (HPH), claims he is determined to help the UK’s small and medium sized businesses (SMEs) increase their exports and develop new markets overseas. To do this he has launched “Project Bulldog,” effectively an export assistance programme. Through the initiative, Meredith has promised to share the expertise he has gained in running an international ports business for more than 40 years and to provide advice to SMEs in areas such as the law, tax/fiscal policies, education, shipping practices and customs. The HPH executive said that he had launched his initiative largely out of frustration after seeing Britain decline as a world manufacturer and exporter over the years. At the launch of “Project Bulldog,” he mentioned the strange response he received to lectures he was asked to give on export opportunities to Asia by the UK Government’s Trade & Investment (UK T&I) agency last year. “Most of the people who came forward afterwards were security people, software houses, lawyers and/or consultants,” he said. “There were not many people who were actually making things.” This year the UK T&I had asked him to give similar presentations, but with the focus on opportunities in Latin America, and he felt a change was also needed with the emphasis on manufactured exports. In running a company that operates the container ports of Felixstowe and Harwich in the UK, he said this situation was mirrored in the “stuff that is moving out…The containers are mainly empty or carrying scrap, but no products and I get irritated by this. Britain needs to focus on manufacturing, including offering tax breaks and cheaper energy for exporters, or it risks getting left behind [further] by other more innovative nations.” Meredith stressed: “You can’t rely on North Sea oil and gas and the City of London. We [as a country] have to go back to basics and start making stuff.” He suggested that in many places British products were valued, hence many opportunities existed. HPH is a global ports operator running 52 ports in 26 countries and handling 76.8M TEU in 2012, up 2.3% on the previous year. Meredith has worked at the company for 42 years, taking it from its roots in Hong Kong to the multi-billion corporation it is today. 22 May 2013
