Infographic: Radical US Cargo Shift to East Coast The COSCO OCEANIA handling boxes in Seattle Photo : Aart van Essen © Import and export data specialist Zepol has found that a hefty chunk of businesses have switched from using Pacific to Atlantic and Gulf ports this year. Total imports along the East Coast have increased by 15%, while import traffic on the West Coast is down 4%.Zepol contend that China is the leading culprit for the supply chain shift with imports along the West Coast declining by 3%, yet Chinese imports on the East Coast continue to skyrocket. Atlantic ports increased containers from China by 20% this year alone, and Gulf ports by a dramatic 43%.“Shipments are setting sail for Eastern ports even before the Panama Canal expansion is complete,” explains Zepol’s CEO, and trade data expert, Paul Distribution : daily to 33.050+ active addresses 12-08-2015 Page 2 DAILY COLLECTION OF MARITIME PRESS CLIPPINGS 2015 – 225 Rasmussen. “Shippers may be tired of West Coast backups, and with carriers adding more lines from Asia to the East Coast, it’s hard to blame them.”The ports of Newark/New York, Savannah, and Houston had the highest increase in imports for the first half of 2015 (compared with the same time in 2014). The Port of Newark/New York increased in imports by 12%, Savannah rose by 32%, and Houston by another 26%.The port of Houston also had a surge in containers from China, bringing in 53% more Chinese containers already in 2015.“Looking at these numbers, the port of Newark/New York’s imports are becoming competitive with Long Beach,” adds Rasmussen. “Upgrades to the Suez Canal and the focus on larger vessel infrastructure at Eastern ports certainly help pull traffic away from the Pacific.” Source : porttechnology UASC AL MURABBA leaving Rotterdam Europoort – Photo : Kees Torn © CLICK on the photo ! Under fire Noble to slash 16% of workforce Under fire commodity trader Noble Group looked to reassure investors by bringing out its Q2 results a few days early to staunch losses in its share price on the Singapore Exchange. By choosing a holiday to announce the results, the Hong Kong based firm will have to wait until Tuesday to see if its performance has done enough to quell concerns about its financial viability. The group saw its Q2 net profit slip 5% to $62.61m as revenues fell back on sliding commodity prices. The company said it is looking to slash 16% of its workforce by the end of the year.Noble also revealed that an investigation it had commissioned by accountants PwC had shown that its mark-to-market (MTM) models, valuations and governance framework comply with relevant requirements and standard industry practices. Noble employed PwC in the wake of a series of stinging attacks from February this year on the company and its accounting practices by Hong Kong-based Iceberg Research, criticism that has seen Noble’s share price decimated over the past six months.Looking at the PwC review and the Noble results, Iceberg sent out a note this evening in which it noted: “Enron was also largely in compliance with accounting rules. This review will fail to answer the market’s concerns. The market wants to know the real value of these MTM, not whether Noble successfully exploits accounting loopholes.” Source : Splash 24/7 Seafarers you are AMAZING!!!

China Orders Cosco-China Shipping Merger The m.v. “CSCL ARCTIC OCEAN” sister ship of the “CSCL GLOBE” with a capacity of 19.100 Teu’s on of the biggest container vessels in the world Approaching Rotterdam – Europoort . Photo : Cees van der Kooij © Beijing has ordered two of China’s leading container lines – China COSCO and China Shipping group – to merge in a bid to recover from a slump in the industry, according to the South China Morning Post.The proposed merger is expected to be a rather complicated process due a tangle of stock listings and distinct earnings records. However, rumours have already sparked a share price jump from between 10% and 24%. The COSCO DENMARK moored at the Euromax terminal in Rotterdam Europoort – Photo : Rolf Theunissen © One source for companies said: “Unlike the merger between China CNR and CSR, which took a bottom-up approach to pen a deal and were combined via an asset swap at the listed companies’ level, the shipping companies will have to Distribution : daily to 33.050+ active addresses 12-08-2015 Page 4 DAILY COLLECTION OF MARITIME PRESS CLIPPINGS 2015 – 225 study a top-down avenue, consolidating the parent companies first.” A second source was reported as saying: “Unlike train making, China’s shipping companies operate in a global market. A government-ordered merger will definitely raise alarms to competition authorities worldwide.”China Cosco has recently been involved with the order of ten 19,000 TEU ships at a total cost of US$1.4 billion in a bid to dominate the world’s busiest trade lanes.China Cosco and CSCL rank as the world’s sixth and seventh largest respectively by fleet size but are said to belong to different operational blocks.

Shell en Routiers Restaurants op Maasvlakte Plaza Shell en Routiers Restaurants gaan zich vestigen op Maasvlakte Plaza, het internationaal transportpark met een grootschalige truckparking en moderne voorzieningen voor chauffeur en vrachtwagen in het westen van de Rotterdamse haven. Shell gaat daar een brandstofverkooppunt met de focus op vrachtwagens exploiteren. Routiers Restaurants ontwikkelt er een wegrestaurant dat plaats biedt aan 175 personen. Daartoe hebben de twee bedrijven een contract ondertekend met het Havenbedrijf.De opening van Maasvlakte Plaza is voorzien op 1 mei 2017. De bouwwerkzaamheden beginnen in september 2015. Het eerste wordt de Vogelvallei heringericht. Shell Distribution : daily to 33.050+ active addresses 12-08-2015 Page 5 DAILY COLLECTION OF MARITIME PRESS CLIPPINGS 2015 – 225 Shell bouwt een onbemand tankstation op de locatie. Het station zal vier opstelplaatsen speciaal voor vrachtwagens krijgen; allen voorzien van een high-speed dieselpomp, een reguliere dieselpomp en AdBlue. Daarnaast komen er twee opstelplaatsen voor personenwagens, waar diesel en Euro 95 getankt kan worden. Naast het reguliere brandstofaanbod, is het mogelijk om in de toekomst op het nieuwe tankstation ook een verkooppunt van liquefied natural gas (LNG) toe te voegen. Shell vervult een voortrekkersrol bij de introductie van LNG als brandstof voor het wegtransport en werkt momenteel aan de ontwikkeling van een initieel netwerk. Routiers Restaurants Routiers restaurants richt zich vooral op het voorzien van een kwalitatief goede en gezonde maaltijd voor zowel de beroepsmatige weggebruiker, zakenmensen en dagtoeristen De nieuwe vestiging op Maasvlakte Plaza wordt een restaurant met vele mogelijkheden, van een snelle hap tot een heerlijk diner. Ook voor de omliggende bedrijven op de Maasvlakte zal Routiers restaurants zijn service blijven verlenen, o.a. door het verzorgen van catering of overwerkmaaltijden. Het nieuwe restaurant krijgt circa 175 zitplaatsen, uiteraard met een open (cockpit) keuken. Het huidige Routiers restaurant aan de Malakkastraat 16 blijft open totdat het nieuwe restaurant op Maasvlakte Plaza in gebruik is genomen. Maasvlakte Plaza Maasvlakte Plaza wordt een bewaakte truckparking met 359 parkeerplaatsen, zie ook https://youtu.be/wyaHE7VuuVA . Daarvan worden ruim 80 plaatsen geschikt gemaakt voor vrachtwagens met gevaarlijke stoffen (ADR). Ook komen er voorzieningen voor trailers, ECO-combi’s (extra lange vrachtwagens), koelcontainers en bijzondere transporten. Naast de truckparking komt een centraal gelegen gebouw met de voor dit park gewenste voorzieningen (informatiebalie, horeca, sanitair -douches en toiletten-, was- en droogmachines, WiFi, lockers en in de toekomst ‘Virtual Gate’ functies), aangevuld met bijpassende kantoorvoorzieningen. Onderdeel van het project is de herinrichting en uitbreiding van de bestaande Vogelvallei. Daarmee ontstaat een groot aaneengesloten natuurgebied van 21 hectare, bestaande uit diverse eilanden, met daartussen ondiepe waterpartijen. Truckparking Rotterdam De Rotterdamse haven heeft sinds 2012 de beschikking over drie truckparkings. Truckparking Waalhaven heeft een capaciteit van 124 parkeerplaatsen. Truckparking de Punt in de Botlek en Truckparking Distripark Botlek hebben allebei een capaciteit van 85 parkeerplaatsen. Sinds de opening van deze betaalde parkeerplaatsen is de veiligheid van geparkeerde vrachtwagens aanzienlijk verbeterd en de hinder afgenomen.

Korea and the Electronics Global Value Chain…………..………………………… 3-1 Chapter 4. Korea and the Shipbuilding Global Value Chain……………………………………4-1 Chapter 5. GVCs, Industrial Transformation and Opportunities for Korea……………………. 5-1 Introduction The economic policies carried out by Korea over the past half century have transformed the country from a rural economy into an industrialized one. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has quadrupled since the late 1990s alone, to US$1.4 trillion in 2016, making it the 11th largest economy in the world (WDI, 2017).1 In the process, Korea has become one of the world’s most important manufacturing hubs. Several of the country’s firms have risen to prominence in key global sectors including automotive, electronics and shipbuilding; today, Samsung, LG, and Hyundai are household names around the globe. This success has been built through rapid government-led industrialization and its support for a small number of large, globally competitive firms. Korea’s rise as an industrial power has occurred during a period of major reorganization of global trade and industry around global value chains (GVC). Since the mid-1960s, global firms have been slicing up their supply chains in search of low-cost and capable suppliers offshore.
