Ocean rates continue to drop

Logistics News:

Ocean rates are continuing to drop especially on the Eastbound Transpacific trade lane.

According to an article on the JOC, the latest data from Drewry Shipping consultants shows that the average spot rate from Hong Kong to Los Angeles is now at $986 for an FEU. This represents a decrease of 51.6 percent compared to one year ago.

We are definitely seeing a race to the bottom in terms of ocean rates. With volumes down substantially and thousands of empty containers sitting on idle vessels all over the globe, many carriers are scrambling to fill vessels. From an NVOCC perspective, I am seeing many importers testing the waters in terms of what rate levels the current market will bear. Unfortunately (for many 3PL providers), with the economic downturn, I am seeing many customers using pricing as the main deciding factor when choosing new freight forwarding service offerings.

MISC pulls out of Grand Alliance

MISC Berhad has notified its Grand Alliance partners of its intention to withdraw from the group, effective Jan 1st, 2010.

MISC will withdraw from services between the Far East and Europe & the Mediterranean.

The carrier does not operate with the Grand Alliance on the Transpacific or Transatlantic trades.

This effectively means that MISC will become an Intra-Asia operator.

The Grand Alliance says that MISC's withdrawal will not affect sailing frequencies, transit times or service structures.

The Grand Alliance fleet comprises about 140 vessels with capacities of between 2,900 and 9,000 TEU, seven of which are provided by MISC.

The remaining alliance partners, Hapag-Lloyd, OOCL and NYK, will replace these ships in the context of the alliance's normal cascading.

Cargo crime in Europe costs €8bn a year

from:eyefortransport Newsletter
TAPA is taking the fight against cargo crime into Central and Eastern Europe.
Gathering intelligence on freight crime in Central and Eastern Europe and improving supply chain security will be discussed at a free one-day regional conference in Poland next month, which is organised by the Transported Asset Protection Association (TAPA).

Speakers at the event will include the Polish police and the Institute of Business Security in Poland (IBB). There will also be a manufacturers' perspective from Dell, a presentation on asset telematics systems and intelligence from GE VeriWise and Lloyd's Register Quality Assurance, plus an overview of TAPA's Freight Security Requirements (FSR) and Truck Security Requirements (TSR).According to Mark Schwarz, conference lead for TAPA EMEA, this is the latest in a series of events in the EMEA region aimed at generating a higher level of intelligence on cargo crime and to position TAPA membership as the most effective way to tackle a problem that is estimated to cost businesses some €8 billion a year in Europe alone.
