NEW MEMBERS AND TOP GUN AWARDEES RECOGNIZED AT 12TH FFSI GLOBAL SALES AND MARKETING MEETING

MESSAGE FROM CHRIS

WATERSON, FFSI CEO—Already it is time to write the Christmas and New Year messages for our last

issue of eNews for 2012! Our 12th Sales & Marketing Meeting was, by all ac-counts, a great success and we hope that those who attended their first FFSI

Meeting were suitably impressed and that we will see you all at our (next) Annual Worldwide Conference scheduled to be held in Seoul, Korea, in March 2013. The world has faced more than what we needed to this past year in terms of armed conflict, economic turmoil and the wrath of Mother Nature and it is in these times that we are reminded of the benefits our membership of FFSI can bring to us. We are part of a family which does the very best it can to sup-port one another in business and conduct such business with the integrity which is so often lacking in the business world today. We pay our bills on time and we treat one another with honesty and fairness making sure we all survive! Throughout this past year we have been well supported by the team at NSO – Joy and Mike – and also Ada from Corporate Headquarters, and I would like to thank them from all of us for their hard work in keeping our Association running efficiently. My thanks also to the members of the Executive Committee (Exco) – Francis, Lawrence and Dan - for their tireless efforts to keep our finances “liquid” and our membership “in order” and who guide and advise so many of our members when issues arise. My thanks also to the wider Board of Directors (Jim, Maria, Nil and Stanley) for their assistance throughout the year. As we approach the end of this year may I take this opportunity to wish every member of FFSI, your staff and your families a blessed and joyful Christmas Season and also best wishes for health, success, peace and happiness in the year to come.

MESSAGE FROM FRANCIS NG, FFSI

CHAIRMAN—2012 will soon be closing. Al-though we all experience a critical year due to the uncertain global economy, I believe that our members can overcome the difficulty and be ready to meet the challenge in 2013 and the years to come. On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to convey my Christmas greetings to all and needless to say I wish all a Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy and prosperous 2013.

As we reflect on the final days of

the 2012 calendar year we re-member the passing of our es-teemed colleague and friend Ian Gorman in July. Ian represented International Cargo Solutions Australia with dignity and professionalism at all FFSI conferences throughout the world for the past 12 years. Ian was a staunch supporter of FFSI and one of his many achieve-ments was being elected to the FFSI Executive Council and a men-tor to new members. Ian joined the customs and freight forwarding industry in 1966 in Sydney, Australia, and gained his customs brokers licence in 1972. Between 1991-2000, Ian was involved in many industry associa-tions including a Director of (AFAFF) Australian Federation of Air Freight Forwarders, and a

Director of (AFIF) Australian Fed-eration of International Forward-

ers. During this time Ian also represented AFAFF and AFIF on the Executive Council of (FAPPA) Federation of Asia Pacific Air Cargo Associations and held the Chairmanship of that association between 1998-1999. Ian was also an executive member of the (CBFCA) Customs Brokers Council of Australia for 6 years and received the President’s award for meritorious service to the CBFCA NSW in 2008. Ian played an integral role in the freight development of all ICS Australia offices and his contributions will be missed. Ian is survived by his wife Diane, 3 sons and 6 granddaughters.

To work out better costing

for client, IGS has worked out loading plan of 6pipes on each trailer. This way it will reduce total number of trips to site as well as break bulk

vessel will be empty within 3-4 working days. Initially while loading pipes on second layer(5th & 6th pipe) because of small diameter of pipes (i.e 0.9meter) some of the pipes were slipping at bottom. After 2 trailer loading, IGS based on past experience and good knowledge on pipe handling. We changed and added wooden stoppers/wedges and provided riggers at port to perform proper lashing and chocking of pipes. Sunil Dakua—Assistant Manager (Port Operations)

This year, Intereu-ropa celebrates 65 years of exis-tence, as the de-velopment of our

partner started in 1947. Today INTEREUROPA is a leading logistics provider serving the 5th and 10th pan-European Transport Corridor, where the main focus is on central Europe and South East Europe. The growth into an international logistics provider began in Slove-nia’s littoral, a region at the head of the Adriatic Sea and there-fore at a junction of routes linking Central and Western Europe

with the Southern and South-eastern portions of the continent.

Koper is still today Intereuropa’s Head Quarter and important lo-gistics point, as during last sixty years the Koper port grown to important European port system. INTEREUROPA followed this significant growth thus presently oper-ates over 250.000 m2 of modern warehouses and employs 2.000 employees. Beside its infrastructure and strong network within 10 European countries, Intereuropa sees the advantage also in obtained AEO status (Authorised Economic Operator) and as a member in FIATA, IATA, FONASBA, BIMCU, IRU and our FFSI network. Strong network and reliable services: Intereuropa manages the network and own logistics infrastructure through different types of comprehensive logistic services in three basic segments:

SEA & AIR transport mainly through Koper port (Slovenia) and

Rijeka port (Croatia) and important airports in the region as Ljubl-jana, Zagreb, Belgrade;

Land transport (LTL service, express transport, FTL transport,

railway transport, customs services and distribution of spare parts); Logistics solutions (warehousing with distribution and logistics pro-jects).

Intereuropa organizes daily LTL service from Koper and Ljubljana Hub to important European logistics Hubs in Germany, Austria,

Hungary, Slovakia, southern Germany, Italy etc. With their internal network they are especially strong in LTL ser-vice within Adriatic region - between Slovenia and Croatia, Bosnia

and Herzegovina, Serbia, Macedonia, Montenegro and Albania. KOPER – important European Sea-freight HUB Koper is Intereuropa’s Sea-freight Hub, where three warehouses with total capacity of 12.000 m2 are operated. The ideal position at very northern point of the Mediterranean region gives an opportunity to cover European market with lean and agile logistics processes. Within 48 hours all important logistics Hubs in the region can be reached. Moreover, through their strong relations with global Container carriers, that call Adriatic Sea with direct services from Far East

destinations, they secure competitive inbounds and outbound rates. Namely, Maersk and CMA-CGM; and Evergreen, Hanjin and Yang Ming operate two weekly direct services, where the total transit time to Vienna, Budapest, Bratislava, Munich etc. is much

shorter compared with services to North Europe.

Just in Koper branch office they employ over 100 experienced

employees.

New Melbourne precinct building, at New Quay Dock-lands required the assistance of the ICE Project team lead by Karen and Emily to ensure the project continued on sched-ule .

Manufacturing delays resulted in an integral part of a second floor fascia which was originally planned for ocean freight, to be moved via airfreight to Melbourne. The item was held at ICE’s warehouse pending the green light from the building project manager; once the confirmation was received the delivery was effected during off peak time allowing the crane to lift it into position.

Joint efforts between ADP ( Shanghai Asian Development comp.) and VCK Logistics made it happen that the first shipment ( out of 5 ) of a OSB plant was being transported from Shanghai via St Petersburg to Tchaikovsky in Rus-sia. Tchaikovsky is 2800 km away from St Petersburg and is on the west side of the Oeral mountains. The complicating factor was de size of the cargo, being, long,

over wide, overweight and overweight and the transport within Russia. The shipment of 30 containers was arranged on time and delivered as per planning, during our FFSI sales meeting in Bang-kok supervised by representatives from ADP and VCK Logistics in Russia.

In Tchaikovsky was no hotel available so we had to stay at a Rus-sian sport institute, build to train the Russian winter atletes for the Olympic games in 2014 in Solchy. In this modern trainings facility with ski jumping facilities we found a warm welcome to stay. In meantime the 2nd and 3rd part of the plant are on their way as well.

VCK LOGISTICS GOES GREEN

On behalf of one of their clients VCK delivered in September 2012 a green energy solar module facility in Jocksdorf, Ger-many. In 12 days in total 384 trailers were loaded at our facility in Rotterdam and delivered at side in Jocksdorf. These trailers

contained 9984 pallets with 249600 solar panels. The whole project was very time sensitive as at destination, cranes, crew and press was available to install all panels. VCK Logistics was able to manage in time, which resulted in an extra order from consignee for our client of 40 more trailers to be de-livered the week thereafter.
