New Ultra Large Container Ships

In 2019 new ships have been launched that are capable of loading 24,000 TEU Extreme Dimensions that challenge port infrastructure

• Approximately 400 metres long
• Require deep water container

berths (16 metres of draft)

• Also require aerial clearance so

as to avoid low bridges and power lines

• Require 4 or more “super post-

panamax ship to shore gantry cranes”

Ocean Shipping has some unique risks and limitations of liability

It also offers the exporter great rates, reliability and proven multimodal methods to move your product door-to-door around the world. In 2018, estimates are that about 130 million containers of product were moved on the world’s

• ceans.

Before You Ship – What you need to know……

The 7 “R”’s of Logistics Get the Right Product To the Right Place At the Right Time In the Right Quantity And the Right Condition To the Right Customer For the Right Price

When to ship “Ocean” and when to ship “Air”……

Ocean Shipments v. Air Cargo Shipments

Air Cargo

• Sample commodities – live lobster,

fresh flowers, overnight courier packages

• Speed is key factor required
• Product is normally “high value”
• Product is often highly perishable
• Smaller, lighter, high value

shipments

Ocean Cargo

• Frozen Seafood, Bottled or Canned

Beverages, Grains & Special Crops

• Economics of the commodity won’t

sustain air cargo for realistic shelf prices

• Larger order quantities (full

containerloads to entire ships in some cases)

• Product has shelf life, inventory

levels can be held in the supply chain

International Freight Forwarders and 3rd Party Logistics Companies

Do we have any in the room?

Int’l Freight Forwarders (3PL’s)

“Marine Insurance” and Risk Management in Logistics

What risks do you want to be aware of?

Why carry Marine Insurance?

• 1. To guard against limits to the carrier’s liability under the terms of the Bill of

Lading.

• 2. To guard against being a part of an expensive and extremely litigious situation

such as a declaration of “General Average”.

What else can you do to manage risk?

• Ship on more than one vessel per week if you have the quantities

and the choices available.

• For oncarriage destinations you can even diversify your mainline port
• f discharge (Antwerp, Rotterdam, Hamburg for oncarriage into

destinations by feeder barge, by truck or by rail).

• Meet with your international freight forwarder once per year to go
• ver your forecast shipping needs and to review performance of your

supply chain over the past 12 months.

• Know your supply chain partners and their performance (on time

record, equipment supply and reliability, keep notes, take photos, communicate).

24

So the moral of the story is….

Do your homework well before the sale is made to understand –

• how many viable carrier options do you have?
• how many days of transit time are involved with each?
• what is the realistic pricing to move your product from door to door?
• what measures are available to remove some of the risk in transit or to manage your

inventory?

• Do you have a handle on what can go wrong – “the unexpected”?

25
