THE South Carolina Ports Authority announced that the New World Alliance consortium of ocean carriers and Evergreen are launching a new Far East weekly container service in June, marking the third new container service announced this year for Charleston and the first service for the port with a direct call in Vietnam.
The South China/Vietnam-US Southeast service (SVS) is a Suez service deploying 10 ships of capacity between 4,600 and 5,600 TEU. The service originates in Cai Mep, Vietnam and includes calls in Hong Kong and Yantian in China, Singapore and Tangier, Morocco.
Charleston is the last outbound port on the service, which highlights the port's prominence in handling the region's and the nation's export demand. "Charleston's position in this service demonstrates that ships will be taking on a significant amount of cargo here, relying on our deep water to fill up the ship with heavy exports," said Jim Newsome, president and CEO of the South Carolina Ports Authority.
Charleston Harbour is the deepest in the Southeast region, with 45 feet of depth at mean low water (MLW), and can handle ships drafting up to 48 feet on the tides. Charleston's next harbour deepening project is currently underway.
Participating in the SVS service are the alliance carriers of APL, Hyundai Merchant Marine (HMM) and Mitsui OSK Lines (MOL), as well as Evergreen. The weekly service will call the Port of Charleston's Wando Welch Terminal on Saturdays, adding 52 ship calls a year to the port and supporting jobs across the maritime industry.

SOUTH Korea's Hyundai Merchant Marine has blamed higher fuel costs and lower container volumes for the widening of its first quarter operating loss to KRW201 billion (US$177 million) from $24 million a year earlier, according to media reports.
The diversified carrier's tanker division narrowed its operating loss to $6.2 million from $32 million in the first quarter of 2011. Bulk shipping losses rose to $19 million from $16 million.
In the first quarter, Hyundai's container volume slipped 0.8 per cent to 708,000 TEU. The carrier said intra-Asia and Asia-Europe volumes rose slightly but trans-Pacific volume fell 3.3 per cent to 295,000 TEU.
The company also said rates rose in the first quarter but were offset by fuel costs. However, the shipping line said it expects per-unit fuel costs to decline following delivery by mid-year of five 13,000 TEU ships that will be more fuel-efficient than existing vessels.

CONTAINER volume during the first quarter of 2012 at Gothenburg port increased 0.9 per cent year on year to 233,000 TEU, marking a new quarterly record for container movements through the facility, the Baltic Transport Journal reported.
Of the total container traffic, 108,000 TEU were carried to and from the port via the RailPort Scandinavia network, which registered a rise of 11.3 per cent compared to the same period last year. One rail link that is doing particularly well is the newly started shuttle to Sundsvall, which is the network's most northerly rail shuttle destination.
While container traffic rose, the Port of Gothenburg registered falls in other volumes in the first quarter: ro-ro 139,000 cargo units (-5.4 per cent); cars 46,000 (-29.2 per cent); liquid cargo 5.3 million tonnes (-3.6 per cent); and passengers totalled 242,000 (-8.3 per cent).

THE first Cool Logistics Conference ever held in the southern hemisphere was warned that if Africa wanted to compete in global markets it had to cut supply chain costs.
The warning came from Chiquita Brands advisor Mark Hassenkamp, CEO of Corvus Investments International, who said logistics costs in Africa are four times higher than elsewhere.
He told the Cool Logistics Conference in Cape Town that changes applied not just in South Africa, but all over the continent - Cameroon, Ghana, Kenya, Mozambique, Senegal, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia.
The two-day international event attracted over 150 participants from 15 countries drawn from the global and regional perishable supply chain. Exporters, importers, retailers, air and ocean carriers, 3PLs, ports, cold store and land freight operators came together to discuss the continent's cold chain and perishable logistics outlook.
There seemed to be rare agreement at Cool Logistics Africa between transport, logistics and perishable professionals - including fruit exporters united under the Fruit South Africa umbrella organisation - that change is now of the essence.
Said GoReefers CEO Delena Engelbrecht: "We are playing catch up in South Africa and may have no more than seven years left before congestion and delays put the region on a back foot."
Even in South Africa, logistics costs pitched at 13.5 per cent of GDP remain too high compared with the US and other main trading partners, said Abrie de Swardt, managing director of Capespan Exports.
Transnet National Ports Authority CEO Tau Morwe outlined the ZAR300 billion (US$38.7 billion) capital investment programme to improve South African ports and global logistical competitiveness. He also mentioned that Transnet was ready to engage more proactively with the private sector in the future in order to tackle operational constraints and to become generally more demand-driven.
While reaffirming Maersk's commitment to South Africa as the southern gateway on the African continent, Maersk southern Africa chief David Williams expressed the hope that some of the 'occasional shocks' to the southern African supply chain will be avoided.
Maersk said equipment shortage would not go away. According to the world's leading refrigerated container operator 44,000 FEU were scrapped in 2011. This year the figure is estimated to reach over 47,000 FEU and could reach nearly 70,000 FEU by 2016, based on a 13 year life span.
Big Kenyan producer Sunripe director Hasit Shah, also vice chairman of Kenya's Shippers Council, said: "We need to integrate the small holder into the cold chain."
Alex von Stempel, director, Cool Logistics Resources added: "Following the success of this first ever, we will be back in Cape Town next year to continue the dialogue and facilitate sharing of ideas, knowledge and practical solutions to improve Africa's perishable supply chain performance."

PORTLAND, Maine has been hit hard by the sudden shutdown of the American Feeder Lines' (AFL) sole weekly container service between Halifax, Portland and Boston as local businesses scramble to find other methods to get their goods to market.
The recent start-up, AFL, attributed the shutdown to a lack of volume between the three ports and a loss of private investment reported the Portland MSNBC News affiliate.
"The biggest impact is on the shippers that were using the service," said Maine Port Authority executive director John Henshaw. "They were either saving time or saving money and so those shippers will have to find other routes to market or to receive their imported goods in Maine."
This has been the fifth time since the early 1990s that cargo service between the Port of Portland and other ports has come and gone, but industry experts believe there is enough business to support a similar venture, said the report.
"As a state, we can fill every container outbound that comes in inbound," said Mr Henshaw. "Ideally, we believe that this port could support two services, one operating down to New York and one operating east to Halifax. It is challenging. It requires the right vessel, it requires the right itinerary. The Boston, Portland, Halifax itinerary seemed appropriate. The vessel that was used here might have been too large for the service, at least from the outset. Perhaps as you build volumes over time you might bring on a bigger vessel."
US Maritime Administration administrator David Matsuda came to Maine to tour port facilities in Portland and Searsport and meet members of the local business community to discuss future opportunities for the region's cargo needs.
"There is definitely an opportunity there," said Mr Henshaw. "It is a matter of putting those things together over the long term to make everybody successful."

GLOBAL provider of outsourced aircraft and aviation operating services, Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings, is on track to meet its 2012 expectations after a rebound in March offset a weak January and February, Air Cargo World reported.
Atlas customers flew 11 per cent more than the minimum block hours in March. The strong first-quarter numbers are also due to a new timeline for aircraft engine maintenance; upkeep that was expected to take place during the first quarter will now happen in the next three months.
Atlas Air reported an adjusted net income of US$13.6 million during the first quarter compared to an adjusted net income of $12.7 million in Q1 2011. The company reported a net income of $12.8 million for the first three months of the year compared to $10.5 million in the same period last year.
Operating revenues during the quarter rose 21 per cent to $359.3 million compared to the same period last year. Total block hours increased by eight per cent. ACMI revenues rose by $8.7 million compared to Q1 2011, on the back of two new services for DHL Express. Atlas Air also recently signed a multiyear ACMI deal with Etihad Airways for one Boeing 747-400 freighter, which will commence in June. This will be the first 747-400F in Etihad Cargo's fleet.
Operating expenses rose 20 per cent from the first quarter of last year to $338.7 million because of fuel and an uptick in labour costs. Jet fuel prices rose 28 per cent when compared to the same period in 2011. A wage increase, a ramp up in total block-hours flown and a few new hires pumped employee costs up 15 per cent, year over year.
"Earnings in the first quarter of 2012 were well above our expectations," William Flynn, the firm's president and CEO, said. "The improvement was primarily due to a substantial pickup in the commercial airfreight market during March 2012. Volumes and rates improved dramatically compared with January and February, and we were well-positioned to help customers respond to an increase in demand for airfreight capacity."
He added that this increase was fuelled by high-tech project launches out of Asia and a demand for time-sensitive shipments of auto parts and pharmaceuticals.

THE "lack of a true 'open skies policy' in the Arab world is restricting the aviation industry from realising its full potential", said Air Arabia CEO Ali told delegates attending Arab Aviation and Media Summit 2012 in Sharjah, UAE.
Agreeing, Arab Air Carriers Organisation (AACO) secretary general Abdul Wahab Teffaha said: "Unfortunately, many Arab countries still nurture the notion that they should have a flag carrier irrespective of the losses their airlines accumulate."
Said Airbus Middle East president Foud Attar: "Today, many Arab governments are caught in a dilemma, to liberalise or not to liberalise. That is the reason they vacillate on implementing the open skies policy."
Despite such drawbacks and a challenging geopolitical environment as well as rising jet fuel prices, Arab aviation is robust with improved airline interconnectivity, contributing significantly to the gross domestic product of the countries, reported the Kuwait Times.
UAE General Civil Aviation Authority deputy chief Omar Bin Ghalib said: "An increased mobility in the region has remarkably boosted tourism, trade, logistics, technology and most importantly resulted in massive manpower development and job creation."
Mr Bin Ghalib said the UAE's aviation industry enjoyed robust growth after it implemented an open skies policy and liberalised the industry. "We expect reciprocal treatment form all the countries in the region," he said.
"Liberalisation of aviation sector in these countries has dramatically altered the horizons of their aviation industry," he said.
The Arab Spring has impacted on the Arab aviation industry with massive plunge in passenger numbers though the sector has rebounded quickly. "The crisis has affected Egypt, Tunisia and Yemen, which registered a 50 per cent drop in tourists," said IATA regional vice president Maidi Sabri.
But Mr Teffaha said: "The long-term impact of the Arab Spring is extremely positive. It not only presented challenges but offered enormous opportunities to the industry to grow."
The report did not elaborate on the point, but Mr Teffaha said that the aviation sector currently supports 2.7 million jobs and accounts for $129 billion in GDP in the Middle East. Middle East international passenger numbers are expected to reach some 220 million by 2030 compared to 77 million in 2010.
He also pointed out that IATA has raised its 2012 profit forecast for Middle East airlines from $300 million to $500 million. The revision was fuelled by strong growth in regional traffic.
The 21-nation Arab League plans to spend nearly $200 billion on the purchase of new aircraft in the next 15 years. The Middle East is home to 65 airlines with 1,029 aircraft in service, operating from 70 commercial airports.
The region has 13 air navigation service providers. The combined value of the Arab aircraft fleet is expected to rise to nearly $200 billion in the next 15 years, said the report.

LIGHT aircraft operations at Manila's Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) will be transferred to the Danilo Atienza Air Base in Sangley Point, south of Manila within a month to ease congestion at the main national airport, reports the Manila Standard.
"At present, the Department of Transportation and Communications and the Department of National Defence are discussing plans to transfer the general aviation (light aircraft operations) from NAIA to Sangley," Philippines President Benigno Aquino told the media in Corregidor.
To reduce congestion in NAIA, we will move the general aviation in Sangley within a month or so. They have given a timetable of more or less a month," he said at the sidelines of the commemoration of the Fall of Corregidor.
The transportation department earlier announced plans to reduce the load on the runway and taxiways by transferring general aviation to the air bases in either Sangley or Lipa, Batangas.
The takeoff and landing times of flying schools have already been restricted and have been asked to relocate to another site to decongest NAIA. Private flights, particularly prop aircraft, will soon follow.
Airliner Operators Council members backed the plan to reduce the number of domestic flights to help decongest NAIA by moving the general aviation traffic to Sangley Point.

Contract signed at Thailand’s busiest port for the electrification of Rubber-Tire Gantry Cranes as commitment to environmental sustainability by shareholders of LCB Container Terminal 1 Ltd.
Laem Chabang, Thailand- APM Terminals’ program to convert Rubber-Tire Gantry (RTG) cranes from diesel to electric power announced a year ago has taken another major step forward with the signing of a €1 million ($1.3 million USD) contract with German-based Conductix-Wampfler for the retrofitting of RTGs at LCB Container Terminal 1 Ltd. (LCB1) - Thailand’s busiest container port.
“The electrification of the RTGs at LCB1 will enhance Port of Laem Chabang’s leadership position within environmental performance and make the port a role model for other ports in Thailand and elsewhere in the region” stated LCB Container Terminal 1, CEO Niels T. Hansen.
The conversion of RTG power from diesel to electricity is made possible through flexible automatic power connections linking the RTGs to a conductor rail. Conductix-Wampler will be installing more than 2.5 km of conductor rails at the terminal to accommodate the electric power link. By reducing diesel fuel consumption in the existing RTG engines, the terminal is projected to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by 1,300 tons annually.
Diesel-powered RTGs account for approximately 20% of all CO2 emissions from terminal operations.
If adopted nationwide, the emission-reductions would be considerable. There are currently a total of 158 diesel-powered RTGs in operation at Thai ports. The Port of Laem Chabang in the Chonburi Province on the Gulf of Thailand was the 4th busiest container port in Southeast Asia and the 21st busiest worldwide with 5.7 million TEUs handled in 2011.
APM Terminals holds a 35% minority share in LCB1, which opened in 1995. Through its share in LCB1, APM Terminals also holds a 31.5% share of neighboring LCMT Company Ltd. (LCMT), in which LCB1 holds a majority stake. Combined container throughput at LCB1 and LCMT in 2011 was 1.25 million TEUs. The conversion of LCB1’s RTGs is scheduled to be completed next year, with the considerably larger RTG fleet at the Malaysian Port of Tanjung Pelepas (PTP), another member of the APM Terminals Global Port, Terminal and Inland Services Network next scheduled for conversion. PTP handled 7.5 million TEUs in 2011.

In April, Finnair traffic measured in Revenue Passenger Kilometres rose by 10 per cent as the overall capacity was flat year‐on‐year. Passenger load factor improved by 7.1 percentage points and was 76.4 per cent. In the comparison period Finnair's traffic was impacted by the tsunami in Japan and by the events related to the Arabic spring.
The total traffic figures were impacted by the good development in both Asian and European traffic. In April, Asian traffic capacity measured in Available Seat Kilometres grew by 5.2 per cent year‐on‐year, mainly as a result of the Singapore route opened in May 2011. Asian traffic measured in Revenue Passenger Kilometres increased by 13.6 per cent year‐on‐year. The strongest growth was seen in European traffic, which increased by 14.2 per cent year‐on‐year measured in Revenue Passenger Kilometres.
“We saw positive development in passenger load factors in all scheduled traffic categories in April. In Domestic and European traffic passenger load factors improved by more than 10 percentage points. Likewise, the Asian traffic saw good development from last year, when the traffic was affected by the tsunami in Japan. The load factor improved by close to six percentage points year-on-year,” says Finnair CFO Erno Hildén.
In April, the capacity in leisure traffic decreased by 9.8 per cent with passenger load factor flat year-on-year.
In cargo, traffic measured in available tonne kilometres was flat, whereas revenue tonne kilometres increased by 11.3 per cent year‐on‐year. The load factor in cargo improved by 6.9 percentage points and was 74.3 per cent.
The arrival punctuality was at high level in April. In scheduled traffic, 87 per cent (86.9 per cent in April 2011) of flights arrived on schedule and in all traffic 86.8 per cent (86.5 per cent) arrived on schedule.
