InterviewInterview" BV is Also the Witness to the Whole Construction ofYangshan Project, the Success of Which is Also PartlyAscribable to BV's Great Efforts. "Editor’s note:To become an outstanding global terminal operator is ourvision; and ‘further developing the home port while expandingto the world’ is our main strategy.In five years, through the implementation of the YangtseRiver Strategy, the Northeast Asia Strategy and theInternationalization Strategy, SIPG will maintain a sustained,healthy and fairly fast growth of its container-relatedbusinesses, secure major breakthroughs in the transshipmentbusiness, and establish and reinforce Shanghai’s position as aninternational shipping center.SIPG will also implement its Internationalization Strategy. Tothis end, it will foster its capability of international operations,improve its levels of international management, and graduallyform a cross-regional and multinational operational patternthat is geared both to the domestic and international markets.-------Quotation from SIPG’s official websiteBV Express:As is known to all, you attach great importanceto invention and innovation and are honored as the“Invention King” for having successively won a number ofdomestic and international invention patents and prizes.What key role do you think invention and innovation playin the development of Shanghai Port and its growth intoan international shipping center?Mr. Bao: China’s reform and opening up has injected infinitevitality into Shanghai Port, which has become the world’slargest port and second-largest container port through rapiddevelopment in recent years. This year, Shanghai Port achieveda cargo output of 580 million tons and a container output of 28million TEUs, both coming out at the top in the world again.These achievements are attributable to support from all sides,including a number of shipping companies and partners like BV.To become an international shipping center, we shall notonly keep ahead in container output in the world, but also betechnologically vigorous and innovative, only in this way willwe gain greater influence, be a driving force in the industry.SIPG has established a special technical center, with a totalof over 300 engineers and technicians involved in scientific &technological innovation and there are over 60 researchachievements made every year. Over the years, our scientific andtechnological innovation has offered strong technical supportto the development of Shanghai Port, in the form of intelligentcontainer management technology, automated unmannedcontainer yards, bulk automation equipment, full-automaticship loaders and unloaders, as well as our current systemfor full time online monitoring of container logistics; thesetechnologies greatly increase the container loading & unloadingefficiency and the safety and transparency of container logistics.Furthermore, independent innovation has played a significantrole in energy and cost saving. Particularly in these years, withChina’s increasing attention paid to energy saving and emissionreduction, we have saved energy and cost by 50% and 75%respectively as a result of constant and deepened scientific andtechnological innovation. In the future, we will keep on walkingthe path of scientific and technological innovation and take newsteps in intelligent and automated technologies to achieve thegoal of becoming a “global outstanding port operator”.BV Express:Port services are characterized by territoryand monopoly. What is the significance of SIPG stillhighlighting individualized service brand though?Mr. Bao: The essence of modern logistics is to provideindividualized end-to-end services tailored to differentcustomers. To establish the brand image of Shanghai Port, wetake “Customer and Quality First” as the service philosophy.In this respect, we extend our services to the upstream anddownstream of loading and unloading concurrently and presentintegrated individualized services tailored to customers. Besides,Shanghai Port specially set up SIPG Logistics, and integrated,with port service as the core, all logistics-related services suchas shipping agency, cargo agency, warehousing, truck transportand barge transport, thus enabling us to extend our services andbenefit our clients on saving cost, reducing inventory, ensuringsafety and increasing efficiency. The integrated individualizedservices also make our clients feel it is more convenient andenable SIPG to build up a top port service brand and become aglobal outstanding port operator. In the future, we will continuemaking great efforts in this respect and hope to keep theleadership in the world.BV Express:What did SIPG do for the strategicobjective of becoming a multinational port operator?Mr. Bao: First as Shanghai Port Authority, SIPG graduallyseparated governmental functions from enterprise managementand with Chinese opening up and initialising reform, it becamea real enterprise. Unlike the names of other port companieswith the similar background, the name of SIPG contains theword “International”. Why did SIPG acquire the current namethen? This is because the Shanghai Municipal Government hada strong intention to build Shanghai Port into a multinationalport operator. We are also working hard towards the objective.Shanghai Port has been developing rapidly and has shifted froma single regional operation port to a trans-regional one withour concerted efforts. For example, we have developed a lotof port businesses through strong partnerships with the portsof Chongqing, Wuhan, Jiujiang, Changsha, Nanjing, etc. in thepast two or three years, thus accelerating to accomplish the“Yangtze River Strategy”. Moreover, we have currently set outfor internationalization and have made some progress on thediscussion with Zee-brugge Port of Belgium on the issue of jointinvestment. And I hope we can make a historical step towardsglobalization in 2009.BV Express:Could you introduce the current operationof Yangshan Deepwater Port? What major impact willthe completion of the port have on SIPG’s development?Mr. Bao: What I want to share with you is that Phase 1, 2 and 3Aof Yangshan Deepwater Port came up to our expectation withan output of 8.2 million TEUs in 2008. With the completion ofPhase 3B in late 2008, the 5.8-kilometer port coastline was fullyintegrated to form a peculiarly spectacular landscape. Currently,Phase 4 is also in preparation.The completion of Yangshan Deepwater Port is of greatsignificance to SIPG’s development, because it serves as a newreal deepwater port of Shanghai Port. It can berth the world’slargest container ships of various types in every 24 hours, whichis a great leap for Shanghai Port.BV Express:What are the key factors that make SIPGtrust BV’s services more and more and assign moreconstruction supervision tasks to BV?Mr. Bao: Though a number of international famous third-partyinspection institutions and companies hoped for involvementin Yangshan Deepwater Port project, we chose BV in view ofits world leading role and business strength. Currently, PhaseQifan BaoVice PresidentShanghai International PortGroup Co., Ltd.[Key Words]Individualized ServiceTechnological InnovationModern LogisticsInternationalizationIII of Yangshan Deepwater Port has been completed, and BV isalso the witness to the whole construction of the project, thesuccess of which is also partly ascribable to BV’s efforts. On theconstruction site of each phase, we could see the busy figures ofBV’s engineers. The port equipment supervised by BV has playeda significant role in the functioning and efficiency of YangshanDeepwater Port. So far, no problem regarding equipment hasoccurred. So I would also like to take this opportunity to extendmy heartfelt thanks to BV for its great contribution to YangshanDeepwater Port project.BV Express:How do you feel about BV’s port craneconstruction supervision service during the cooperationbetween SIPG and BV?Mr. Bao: With limited time available, and much equipment topurchase, there were some unexpected problems in the laterpart of Phase 1 of Yangshan Deepwater Port. With concertedefforts from many sides, Phase 1 was finally completedsuccessfully. In Phase 2, we resolutely put BV in a much moreimportant place. Therefore, we did much better in Phase 2,Phase 3A and Phase 3B, and gradually accumulated muchprecious experience. During the process, we cooperated with BVbetter and better in all aspects and were impressed by its greatand professional services. Additionally, we are now expectingnew cooperation with BV in Phase 6 and 7 of Waigaoqiao andPhase 4 of Yangshan Deepwater Port. Hopefully, as a worldfamous third-party inspection institution, BV will continue tosupport and participate in the development of Shanghai Port. Inthe future, we also hope for deeper cooperation with BV in morefields for mutual promotion and common development.0607

InterviewJoin Hands with BV" I am Very Impressed by the Professionalism,Dedication and Impartiality of BV’s Inspection Work. "Editor’s Note:”We make logistics in China simple.” The remark seems simplebut shows the unremitting efforts made by PIL Logistics.However, they are not bound by the outstanding achievementsgained at present. To ensure all aspects of the operation meetand even exceed the customer's requirements is always a longtermtask and it involves assiduous research for them.Bruce KohSenior Business ManagerTS TeoDirectorPIL Logistics (China) Co., Ltd[Key Words]Expertise on LogisticsIntegrated Logistics SolutionEnd to End ServiceBV Express:Could you please introduce the major servicesand current development of PIL Logistics in China?Mr. Koh, Mr. Teo: First of all, I would like to introduce the backgroundof PIL Logistics. PIL Logistics was registered in Shanghai in 2001 andfounded by its parent company PIL Singapore, which is among the world’s top 20 liner companies with over 40 years’ global transport and logisticsexperience and it makes logistics investments throughout Asia. InChina, PIL Logistics has made remarkable achievements in all aspectsthroughout 8 years of steady development and it achieved a turnover of$80 million in 2008.Similarly to other logistics companies, our logistics services involvewarehousing, domestic transport, cargo agency and import & exportdeclaration, but I don't think the above services are our real products,for paying attention to clients’ wishes and needs is the aim of ourservices, and accuracy, agility and attention are the essence of ourservices, and because of the difference in clients’ needs, we alwaysconsider more for our clients while designing logistics solutions forthem. To sum up, creative, applicable and optimal service solutionsfor clients is our real product.BV Express:What are the biggest advantages of PILLogistics compared with other industrial players?Mr. Koh: Firstly, because of its earlier entry into China, PIL Logisticshas many years’ experience of local logistics. Through PIL Logistics'unique capability in China coupled with joint ventures and strategicpartnerships around the world, we are able to execute seamlessend-to-end logistics solutions to and from China. Secondly, we arecharacterized by quick response and great flexiblity, which meanswe are not inclined to make clients follow our process, but that wecan focus on clients’ needs, spend enough time understanding ourclients’ true requirements and work out logistics service solutionstailored to clients by utilizing our service skills. Thirdly, we havean excellent range of order management systems covering cargoagency management, warehousing management, transportmanagement and other modules, which come together to enableclients to directly view actual ground operations through theInternet anytime and anywhere and consistently control the entirelogistics service process. Lastly, in spite of the changes in clients’requirements with time, we can adjust our service solutions,computer service systems, etc. duly and flexibly. To sum up, all ourservices have been conducted by centering on our clients’ needs.BV Express:The ‘end-to-end logistics solution’ you justmentioned is impressive, could you describe it in detail orgive an example?Mr. Koh: At first, I would like to have an explanation of the two‘ends’. The first end may be some overseas factory or company,the second end may be the factory’s or company’s branch of ourpartner’s client, or it could mean our service of helping our clientget the final payment. So the two ends here actually mean the finalservice confirmed by our clients. We have established a specializedservice team for each client to make sure our services meet andeven exceed the customer's requirements. Only in this way can ourlogistics service satisfy our clients and be called the ‘end to endlogistics solution’.BV Express:Is there any specific plan for the strategicdevelopment of PIL Logistics in the coming years? If any,could you please describe it?Mr. Teo: In the future, we will continue to improve ourselves oninternal management and client service quality. Moreover, we willperfect our service products and logistics capability to meet greaterfuture business challenges, based on which, we will continue tocenter on clients’ needs, provide clients with the most integratedand competitive logistics solutions. Additionally, we will buildlogistics service quality into our corporate core culture, thus furtherenhancing our brand image.BV Express:When did the cooperation between PILLogistics and BV start? What features of BV’s servicesimpress you deeply?Mr. Koh: It has been a long time since PIL, parent company ofPIL Logistics, became partners with BV, and PIL Logistics hasalso been maintaining a close relationship with BV. And I am veryimpressed by the professionalism, dedication and impartiality of BV’s inspection work. At the end of 2008, we had to conduct RSQASassessments in four cities in northern, central and southern Chinawithin four days, so you can imagine the difficulty. Although thework schedules of BV’s inspectors were tight, they were still verycareful that they accomplished the assessment task strictly inaccordance with the standard within a prescribed time. So I reallyappreciate BV’s responsibility and thoughtfulness, and I believe thatwe will have more opportunities of cooperation in various aspectswith the development of PIL Logistics.BV Facilitating the Entry intoNew Market for Rolling StockManufacturersRolling Stock Background:In recent years, with the development ofrolling stock in China, more and moreinternational buyers are considering therolling stock products manufactured in China.Chinese manufacturers and internationalbuyers are presented with the challengesof how to assure the quality of products andmanufacturing complying with internationalstandards.What can BV provide?1、Interoperability Assessment (TSI)Railway componentsSignals control systems(Technical Standard: Directive 2001/16/EC)TIPS:UIC:International Union of RailwaysTSI:Technical Specification for InteroperabilityEC:European ConformityBenefits for the Clients:Both assessments enable you to put yourproducts on the market of the European UnionEC assessments are necessary for thosewho would like to get the certificate ofconformity issued by the National SafetyAuthorities.TSI is an indispensable part of UIC auditwith TSI certificate you can easily get UICcertification.Certification of BV's successfulinspection experience2、Third Party Inspection(TPI) of Passenger Carsand WagonsIn the beginning stage,BV will disclose qualitycontrol key points and reporting pointsbased on observation on manufacturingprocess, audit on factory’s quality controlsystem, and BV’s experience in qualitycontrol.Then project quality control meetings willbe organized.

By this way, chemical companies are exempted fromheavy burdens of separate and repetitive assessment work. The RSQAS axes unnecessarydialogues between services providers and chemical companies, so logistics service providersare also relieved from heavy burdens of constant tests and assessments.How to do RSQAS assessment?Any Logistics ServiceProviders (LSP) areallowed to requestRSQAS assessment.Within 30 days, a final RSQAS reportwill be submitted to the database.Another round of assessment isusually required after two years.Logisticsservice providersdesignate aqualified RSQAS.The LSP will receive a notification whenthe RSQAS report has been submitted.Background:Most of the reefer containers are built in Chinanow.
