De wereld is gek geworden:
Op dit moment is het tarief Azie-West Europa 425 dollar per teu dus een 40 ft container met 25 ton kost omgerekend eur 760,--
oftewel 0,03 eur per kg

Luchtvracht bloemen / groente ex Afrika Usd 32000 voor een 747 met rond 100 ton lading dus rond de 0,28 eur cent per kg voor een afstand van 6600 km !!

Voor export ex Europa naar Azie kan je al wegkomen voor eur 1,60 per kg, rockbottom kleine zendingen dus bied jezelf aan als vracht ben je voor 130 eur in China

als ik met een trekker oplegger van Aalsmeer naar Frankfurt moet ( 420 km ) kost dat voor 20 ton rond de 750 eur oftewel eur 0,03.7 per kg
En voor dit tarief vreet je nog net geen droog brood

Dus voor transport over 420 km betaal je meer dan als het 3/4 van de wereld over moet

En om het vergelijk kompleet te maken:

Een overtocht over de Noordzee b.v. Hoek van Holland / Harwich voor een trekker oplegger ( met chauffeur ) kost one way rond de 700 eur voor 6 uurtjes varen
Dover / Calais of Duinkerken doet zo rond de 220 eur voor 1 3/4 uur varen !
met dezelfde 25 ton lading, Ik denk dat die jongens van Stena / DFDS / P&O het nog niet zo slecht bekeken hebben, en die schuiten zitten bijna altijd VOL

Future of container alliances up in the air as CMA CGM and China Cosco Shipping plot new partnership

French container analysts Alphaliner report the Ocean 3 alliance is likely to be ripped apart.
CMA CGM is in discussions with the merged Cosco/China Shipping entity to form an alliance that could also include OOCL and Evergreen.
The new alliance would leave Middle Eastern boxline UASC out in the cold.

With CMA CGM likely taking soon-to-be acquired APL to the new alliance, the G6 alliance, where OOCL is currently,
would also be decimated. Cosco and Evergreen departing the CKYHE alliance would also put that container partnership under severe pressure,
leading some to speculate that its remnants, K Line, Yang Ming and Hanjin could seek an alliance with the rump of the G6 next year.

No carrier contacted by Splash responded to the alliance speculation apart from OOCL. The Hong Kong liner said in a statement last week:
“While there has been rumor and speculations in the news about the future alliance landscape and on individual carrier activities,
we are in no position to comment on them. As announced in a G6 Alliance press release dated December 11, 2015,
the current service structure of the G6 Alliance will remain stable and expect to operate as aligned through 2016.”

“If successful, the initiative would radically alter the current liner shipping landscape and leave the eight remaining carriers of the Ocean Three,
CKYHE and G6 alliances in the lurch,” Alphaliner commented in its weekly report.

CMA CGM’s Rodolphe Saadé confirms new alliance discussions

Rodolphe Saadé, vice chairman of CMA CGM, has confirmed the giant French line is holding discussions about creating a new container alliance,
something that would torpedo the Ocean Three alliance as well as sending major ripples across all the other existing alliances.

Speaking with the Wall Street Journal, Saadé, son of the line’s chairman, said:
“We are becoming a larger shipping line and we are in the position to select the partners with whom we want to do business.”

The Ocean Three alliance agreement between CMA CGM, UASC and China runs for two years, ending at the end of 2016, Saadé said.
“There are many rumours in the market about who we are talking to,” he said. “In our industry everybody talks to everybody.”

CMA CGM has been linked with a new Greater Chinese alliance with newly merged China Cosco Shipping Corp,
OOCL and Evergreen, although none of these potential partners have confirmed the possibility when contacted by Splash this month.

DP World signs contracts for huge fourth terminal at Jebel Ali

DP World signed on Tuesday (Feb 23) two major construction contracts for its US$1.6 billion futuristic fourth terminal at Jebel Ali port.
The Dubai company, which is one of the largest ports operators in the world,
awarded the contracts to Dutco Balfour Beatty and BAM International Abu ­Dhabi for the new terminal that will be built on a reclaimed island north of terminal 2.
Under the terms of the deals, Dutco Balfour Beatty will build the terminal’s main operation yard including a 1,200-metre long
quay designed to accommodate the largest mega container vessels.

Meanwhile BAM will build a 400-metre bridge as well as a 2.2-kilometre, 18-metre deep quay wall.
And the engineering company CH2M Hill (Halcrow) will deliver the civil works on the reclaimed island.
The first phase is expected to be ready by 2018.
DP World did not reveal the ­value of the construction contracts it had awarded.

“This terminal is the big idea that will change the way ports work in the future.
We will deploy the latest technology in equipping our quays and yards, and run them with the most soph­isticated terminal operation systems
,” said Sultan bin Sulayem, the DP World chairman and chief executive.

“We have a long track record of investing proactively to expand capacity at our operations to meet changing customer needs.
We are building terminal 4 from the ground up, which enables us to future-proof it for smart container ships emerging in the future.”

By next year, DP World said the new terminal would include 13 of the world’s largest and most modern giant quay cranes, operated
by remote control and another 35 smaller gantry cranes.

According to DP World, the first phase of construction alone would enable terminal 4 to handle 3.1 million giant shipping containers
or TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units), taking Jebel Ali Port’s total capacity to 22.1 million TEU by 2018.

By that time DP World predicted that Jebel Ali would be equipped with at least 110 cranes with a total quay length of about 11,000 metres.

A second phase of expansion, set for an unspecified future date,
will involve Dutco Balfour Beatty building an additional operation yard with a 1,000-metre long quay at the terminal.

When that is finally completed – something DP World said would only go ahead “in line with market demand”
– terminal 4 would be able to handle a total of 7.8 million TEU.

The decision to press ahead with construction at terminal 4 comes despite the fact that this month DP World
reported a fall in volumes at its UAE facilities during the fourth quarter of 2015.

Consolidated volumes at the company’s UAE facilities, dominated by Jebel Ali Port,
fell 2.9 per cent year-on-year to 3.7 million twenty foot equivalent units (TEUs) in the three months to the end of December.

St Petersburg's new port aims to be top Russian cargo hub

Saint Petersburg's new deepwater port aims to become Russia's major hub for cargo and container shipping,
despite an industry slump and the impact of Western sanctions on the country, officials involved said on Wednesday.
Russia's economy has been hit by falling oil prices and Western sanctions, which have also battered the rouble.

Port Bronka, which is located in the Gulf of Finland, has been developed to boost trade and also be able to take bigger ships
than Saint Petersburg's historical port, which is located closer to the main city.

"In the long-term we are very positive about the Russian market," said Stefan Wilkens, general manager of Bronka's container terminal.
"Russia still has a low containerisation level," he told a news conference in London.

At 28 TEUs (20 foot equivalent units) per capita, Russia is among the lowest users of containerized trade,
Wilkens said, adding this compared data showing 97 TEUs per capita globally and 122 TEUs in Europe.

The global container market, which ships retail goods from iPhones to designer clothes and food products,
has been hit by a slowdown in demand for goods from Asia.
Cargo shipping - including industrial goods such as coal - is also reeling from softer Chinese imports and too many ships available for hire.

The world's number three line, France's CMA CGM, became the first international group to start calls to Bronka
in January and officials said more firms were expected to follow.

Port officials said Bronka represented the "fastest way" to reach Moscow and consumer markets there, with better road connections.
They said the first direct cargoes to be sent by rail from the port to Moscow were set to go live in March.

Dmitry Mikhalchenko, chief executive of Fenix LLC, Bronka port's owner and operator,
acknowledged sanctions on Russia "are not having a positive impact".

Alexey Shukletsov, Fenix's executive director, told the conference Bronka, which cost over $400 million to develop and also includes cargo ship facilities,
was targeting 80 million tonnes of volume and 1.5 million TEUs annually in the future,
with initial trade pegged at 3.8 million tonnes and 350,000 TEUs annually.

Shukletsov said it hoped to benefit from CMA CGM's preliminary agreement last month with Iran's top container
and cargo line IRISL, which could also potentially boost trade flows with Bronka.

Mega-ships bring mega-risks, former ship captains tell TPM

Shipping lines may appreciate cost savings from so-called mega-ships, but for those who sail them, bigger ships can mean bigger risks.
“With a 19,000-TEU vessel, we’re looking at a potential $1 billion loss, if a ship is lost 80 percent laden,” Captain Andrew Kinsey, senior marine risk consultant, Allianz Global Corporate & Speciality and a former ship’s master, said Tuesday at the 16th annual TPM Conference.
That $1 billion loss would far outstrip the $300 million to $400 million in claims that followed the sinking of the 8,000-twenty-foot-equivalent container ship MOL Comfort in 2013.
co1.jpg
co1.jpg (89.99 KiB) 6777 keer bekeken
“We’d have to rewrite the law of general average” if one of the new mega-ships was lost, Kinsey said, referring to rules that determine how cargo losses are divided among claimants.
Captain Michael Lloyd, a retired British naval and merchant ship commander, said the length and size of the newest container ships, combined with rougher weather at sea, makes catastrophic accidents such as the loss of the MOL Comfort in 2013 increasingly likely.

“We’ve never before had ships just snapping in half, but as the weather deteriorates, we’re going to see more of it,” Lloyd said during a panel discussion on mega-vessels and risk. Lloyd, who spent more than 50 years at sea and commanded containerships for 10 years, referred to predictions of increased hurricanes and storms caused by global climate change.

He also said wave action puts more stress on longer ships, especially around the midsection. “One of the big problems now is poor build quality and bad design,” Lloyd said. Faulty welds lead to cracking that is exacerbated, he said, as longer ships “bend” in waves.

Lloyd and Kinsey offered a seaman’s view of the problems associated with larger ships just as those ships begin calling on U.S. ports, putting greater strain on landside operations. The 18,000-TEU CMA CGM Benjamin Franklin became the largest container ship to call in the U.S. when it docked in Los Angeles late last year. The French ship is 1,310 feet long.

The U.S. West Coast is preparing for regular calls by some of the largest container ships in service globally. Container ship lines have invested heavily in “ultra-long container vessels” or ULCVs with capacities of up to 20,000 TEUs, pursuing economies of scale.

But mega-ships aren’t stemming shipping industry losses, forecast to be as high as $5 billion this year. Low oil prices and slow demand growth make it unlikely the larger ships will pay for themselves anytime soon, Rolf Habben Jansen, Hapag-Lloyd CEO, said at TPM.

Kinsey and Lloyd took the discussion of mega-ships past productivity and profits to safety and protection of lives at sea. Seafaring remains one of the most dangerous jobs in the world, Lloyd said. “We lose about 2,500 seamen a year. It’s more dangerous than mining.”

Finding crew and officers is increasingly difficult, he said. “A container ship is not a popular ship to sail on,” Lloyd said. “It rattles, it rolls, and it is totally and utterly monotonous.” In the U.S., many ports that worry about unloading containers won’t allow seamen to leave ships, he said.

Both former captains urged enforcement of the new container weight provisions of the Safety of Life at Sea convention, by far the most controversial topic at the conference. Those provisions would make shippers responsible for providing verified container weights to carriers.

“Make sure it’s implemented, because it’s critical to the safety of the vessel,” Kinsey said. “If we start putting containers on that are heavier than declared, our stability calculations are useless and we do not know the stresses that are going on that ship,” said Lloyd.

“As the (ship’s) master, I had to do a deadweight survey (of the vessel) and compare it to the manifest, and they never matched up,” Kinsey said. “When you’re dealing with a 3,000-TEU vessel that’s one thing, but if you’re dealing with an 18,000-TEU vessel, it’s a no-win scenario.”

Just as critical but not addressed by SOLAS is ensuring containers actually contain what shipping documents say they carry. Lloyd once had a ship’s hold fill with hazardous fumes after a container carrying undeclared hazardous materials leaked while at sea.
co3.jpg
co3.jpg (80.74 KiB) 6777 keer bekeken
Kinsey and Lloyd had some advice for shippers, in addition to accurately declaring weights and cargo. “Know where your cargo is, and know who’s carrying it,” Kinsey said. “If it’s critical cargo, don’t put it all on one vessel. Look at options and break the shipment it up.”

He urged cooperation among maritime stakeholders on shipping issues that ultimately affect seafarers’ safety at sea.

“We traditionally have been an industry that learns from our mistakes,” Kinsey said. “We need to be more proactive and address these issues before they happen.”

CMA CGM deploys its flagship fleet between Asia and the U.S. West coast

The six 18,000 TEU vessels named after the Great Explorers will be deployed on the trans-Pacific market, the most dynamic one, to accelerate its growth.
The CMA CGM Group has announced that it will deploy starting end of May its flagship fleet of six 18,000 TEU vessels between Asia and the West coast of the U.S.'
cma.jpg
cma.jpg (70.47 KiB) 6699 keer bekeken
This decision is in line with both the growth strategy set by the Group in the United States and around the world and the optimization of its fleet.

The flagship fleet of the Group will hence be deployed on the most active and dynamic market to date - the trans-Pacific market - and will support its development as well as that of its customers.

In total, 6 ships of 18,000 TEUS will join the Pearl River Express service; a series of 6 ships bearing the names of great explorers: CMA CGM Bougainville, CMA CGM Kerguelen, CMA CGM Georg Forster, CMA CGM Vasco de Gama, CMA CGM Zheng He and CMA CGM Benjamin Franklin.
The CMA CGM Benjamin Franklin became the largest ship ever to call in the United States last December and was inaugurated on February 19 in Long Beach, in the presence of Jacques Saadé, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of CMA CGM, 450 customers, eminent persons from the economic and political spheres and institutional figures.

The CMA CGM Benjamin Franklin will remain on the trans-Pacific market. The other 5* 18,000 TEU vessels will join her on the Pearl River Express line.
These ships are among the largest in the world. They are equipped with the latest environmental technology and they will significantly reduce CMA CGM's carbon footprint.
