The Ballroom at Montecasino was bursting at the seams for banquet to celebrate the 29th Logistics Achiever Awards. Over 400 guests attended and the venue could have been filled twice over.
As a member of the judging panel, I was astonished by the sheer world-class creativity being unleashed in our local logistics industry. This was true both of private business and state-owned enterprise where innovation is coming from those who operate at the sharp end. They are striving to make supply-chains more cost-efficient, faster and secure.
We may stand in awe of overseas practices but South Africa has its own proud record-beating achievements. One need only think of the world’s longest train – the 3,780m long 41,400 tonnes iron ore train from Sishen to Saldanha Bay hauled by eight locomotives.
The quality of entries this year was outstanding, reflected in the award of four platinum medals. Our own industry was represented on the winner’s podium by DSV who took three gold medals and RAM whose partnership with Vodacom was adjudged platinum level.
We are seeing advanced technological solutions on the ground in the Republic with innovative solutions to final delivery, giving the end user more choice about
Logistic Excellence Logistics Achiever Awards 2017 where and when and providing greater certainty and security in proof of delivery. Moreover, we are investing in upgrading the skills level of career people, from basic education and training right through to customised degree
level graduation.Such was the enthusiasm of all present that
when Chairman of the Judging Panel, Charles Dey, gave a stirring address it had the audience on its feet. That underscored the realisation that we belong to a healthy, successful industry that all can be proud of.

The subject of cyber security left delegates with concerns around the status of their organisation’s cyber security measures and how these can be improved. There is no doubt that this demands more focus from risk management specialists, especially following the revelation that a US Homeland Security Team was able to hack into a parked Boeing 757 in a security test.
Naturally, the question of Dangerous Goods was once again in the spotlight. I took part in a lively panel discussion of industry experts discussing the challenges and risks dangers occasioned by mis-declared and undeclared dangerous goods.
The SACAA has shown itself willing to engage with stakeholders in our industry and events such as this allow us to interact with the authorities on an informal basis, get to understand each other’s positions and learn more about critical matters that affect aviation security and safety.
SACAA has very kindly published some of the key presentations which can be found here:

included Aiden Yeo, Assistant Director (Security Policy) of the Singapore Ministry of Transport and Justus Nyunja, Regional officer of the International Civil Aviation Organisation. There was representation from the Airports Company of South Africa (ACSA),ground handling companies and airlines including Comair, Mango, SAA and Airlink.
The program covered a wide variety of topics vital to maintaining security in our industry, including
• A report on the status of various regulatory matters involving our region and ICAO
• Risks to cargo in transit by road • Security at OR Tambo International Airport • Procedures for security vetting personnelThere were presentations on lithium ion batteries, cyber security,
security audits and risk assessment for the transport of dangerous goods.

IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations 2018
The 59th edition of the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations is now available. This is the essential guide for the industry to ensure the safe, compliant and efficient transport of dangerous goods which we all use daily.
So what’s new in 2018?The most important change relates to the transport of lithium ion batteries, a subject
of growing concern in view of the ever-increasing numbers of various types being presented for transport by air. This includes changes to packing Instructions and rules for the segregation of lithium ion batteries.

We hear people moaning about waiting in for express parcels here in South Africa but is it better overseas? UK newspapers
frequently feature an almost daily courier-bashing article. Yet given that the market there is worth £ 10 billion and there are an estimated 1.7 – 1.9 billion parcels delivered annually, statistically there have to be some hitches.
Having said that, spare a thought for Mike Williams from Manchester who was “partially disembowelled” by his next-door neighbour in a savage drunken knife attack caused by a row over a parcel delivery.
The former heavyweight boxer received a card from Royal Mail telling him his parcel had been left with his next door neighbour. When he went to collect it - a vitamin sample he had ordered online -the neighbour claimed he knew nothing about it. That was until his girlfriend pointed out the parcel, which had been opened. Mr Williams gave the couple an earful.
Six hours later, the neighbour went to Mr Williams’s house armed with a baseball bat and a knife which he used to stab the parcel owner.
by The Mystery CourierNOT ALL ROSY Oh for a P. O.D. Instead of a card.80 miles south, a Wolverhampton
customer opened a parcel he thought contained his new £2,400 gaming laptop to find it replaced with a £20 deep-clean mop. Notquite a fair exchange. The 24-year-believes a bogus delivery driver may have switched parcels. The box was “suspiciously light”, unbranded and contained no invoice
nor documentation. The address label had been tampered with. “I think it had been peeled off the correct box, along with the tracking label, and placed onto the phoney box that I received.”
Rather begs the question why the bogus delivery driver bothered to drop anything off at all, especially as he was captured on CCTV.
Nonetheless, the deluge continues. B2C is now the largest UK segment, thanks to Internet retail, at about 42%. Click-and-collect is expected to account for 35% of fulfilment in 2018 and volumes are estimated to grow 10% per annum for at least the next five years. Let’s hope at least the disembowelling rate declines.
Did you know? • There are over 11,700 companies competing in
the UK parcels market
• They employ around 250,000 people
• The majority specialise by service or geographic area
• 90% employ fewer than 5 people
• Only 35 companies employ more than 100 people
DANGEROUS GOODS IN THE UK?Oh well, at least the thought was there.

Through the long-distance lens The industrial age of energy and transportation will be over by 2030. Maybe before.
That’s the view of Tony Seba, author and University Economist. His books and articles on disruptions are challenging both for individuals and businesses such as ours. (https://tonyseba.com/portfolio-item/clean-energy-transportation-market-and-investment-opportunities/)
It may look a long way off but the disruption is already gathering momentum. Volvo will make only electric and hybrid vehicles after 2019. Among others, the governments of the UK, France and Germany have committed to banning the sale of diesel and petrol vehicles during the next 20 years. The onslaught against diesel continues in the UK and significant new government investment is being pledged for infrastructure to accommodate replacement electric vehicles.
That’s overseas. What about South Africa? These developments - and the imminent acceptance of self-driving vehicles - should give members something to think about in their strategic planning. Like what happens to express parcel delivery fleets when there’s load shedding?
The Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (OUTA) has submitted comments and requested to make oral submissions to the
Select Committee on Economic and Business Development, for consideration by the National Council of Provinces before the amended bill is approved for the president to sign. Rudi Heyneke, who holds OUTA’s transport portfolio contends that if the bill is signed as it stands it will be challenged in the Constitutional Court. That would leave leaving the country devoid of efficient legislation promoting road safety, which OUTA believes should be the guiding principle.
An industry voice, Gavin Kelly, the Road Freight Association’s technical and operational manager, concurs. In Freight & Trading Weekly, (FTW), Gavin’s quoted concern is that the courts will be removed from the AARTO process. It will be compulsory to make representations to the Road Traffic
AARTO under fire The ill-regarded Administrative Adjudication of Road Traffic Offences
(AARTO) Bill continues to attract criticism from informed parties.
Infringement Authority (RTIA) whose funding comes mainly from traffic fines. There will no longer be the right to be heard in court. Instead a supplicant will have to pay a fee to have the case heard by an RTIA tribunal and do so within 30 days.”To appeal any infringement you will have to pay the organisation which wrote the very law you are appealing and which then decides if the law they have written must be upheld or not.”
Another disturbing complication is that demerit points will be applied not to the driver but against the person to whom a vehicle is registered.
The impact of the amended bill will be severe on businesses which rely on road transport, such as our own express parcel industry. In addition to disruption, there is the cost of appealing to the tribunal, at a fee which has not yet been disclosed.
There is talk of the amended bill coming into effect in the first quarter of 2018. Watch this space!
The largest year-on-year increase in demand for air cargo came from Africa during October,
with volumes rising over 30% against a capacity increase of 9.2%, according to IATA
