Back to our Webinar: Fighting Covid-19 with an Agile Supply Chain! -June 5

Borders closed, airplanes grounded, customs changes, quality challenges, bid war on the stocks…

HOW TO SHIP BILLIONS OF MASKS AND OTHER MEDICAL EQUIPMENT FROM CHINA TO THE WORLD?

With strong demand for medical products due to the rapid and unexpected spread of coronavirus around the world, your supply chain must be agile to be able to face all the new challenges. Loïc Benattar, Vice-President of Bansard international for the APAC zone has been invited by the Singapore and Chinese French Chamber of Commerce to lead a webinar sharing his insights on how to manage and optimize your supply chain in this time of crisis.

High demand and the need to produce as quickly as possible leads to supply problems, especially quality problems. It is necessary to find the right product, in the right place, at the right time. In order to address the quality problem, many countries have consolidated their export and import regulations.

Currently, China remains the largest producer of PPE (Personal protective equipment) in the world, with a daily mask production capacity of 300 million masks per day (Jieman). This unexpectedly high demand and the significant decrease in passenger flights due to the outbreak are causing important congestion at airports and warehouses. On top of this, China’s customs regulations are constantly changing to ensure the right quality of products as well as all the importing nations making different strategic decisions leading to unusual solutions.

To manage your supply chain efficiently, Bansard International team suggest 5 pieces of advice:

  • Integrated your Supply chain lead times directly into your shipment planning,
  • First to pay, first-served, to secure the acquisition of your desired PPE order
  • Organize the pick up of your order as soon as possible to avoid overbidding
  • Stay up-to-date of the customs and documentation at the origins and destination
  • Anticipate the booking 10 days in advance to secure flights.

At Bansard International China, our teams adapt as quickly as possible in order to provide our customers with the best and more adaptable service. Air Freight Bridges have been organized between China and Europe, North Africa, Middle East, Asia, and America. Internally, from our receptionist to the management team, we transfer our operational teams to support our air freight department, and we provide our customers with daily customs advice and updates!

Keeping supply chains efficient during COVID 19- May 4

A third wave of blank sailings has been announced recently by the 2M, Ocean Alliance and THE alliances. The current capacity reduction, in particular on the Far East-Europe trade, varies between 20% and 37%, depending on the alliance. Apart from blank sailings, lockdowns have also had an impact on the trades to and from South Africa and India/Pakistan, showing that the pandemic has a wider impact than just the main east-west trades. Recorded sailings, blanked as a result of the corona virus pandemic, now stand at 456, of which 342 were on the main deepsea trade lanes.

The effects of blank sailings and lockdowns has a delayed impact on European export (backhaul) business of around 5 weeks and have therefore been relatively limited in April. However, more serious impacts on the supply chain are expected in the coming months. Due to blank sailings, maritime logistics supply chains are becoming more and more unreliable. Accordingly, current blank sailings resulting from this are harmful to European logistics and shippers, because it reduces supply chain efficiency and parameters such as capacity, sailing frequency, transit times, ports of call and associated service quality.

The question remains whether this could have been avoided and what has caused this disruption. There is no denial that volumes have decreased. However, the higher economies of scale associated with mega-ships mean that fewer ships can operate in a market of a given size. There is a strong feeling among freight forwarders that market consolidation and the introduction of ultra large vessels is particularly disruptive to supply chains in today’s crisis.

In view of business, shops and manufacturing being closed, freight forwarders, terminal operators and carriers are seeking storage in warehouses, depots at the terminal and in the hinterland. CLECAT has continued to call on carriers and terminals to exercise restraint in their demurrage and detention charging practices.

Corona Virus Update - April 9 2020

Severe disruption of global supply chains

As a result of the Covid-19 virus and its impact on the global population, there is currently also a severe disruption of the global supply chains.

In most countries worldwide, priority is given to the transportation of food and medical devices in the fight against the corona virus.

As a result, measures have also been introduced by Europe, to grant an exemption from import duties and VAT on goods imported in the fight against Covid-19.
More information can be found in our previous news item.

Lockdown rules are different in each involved country

In countries that are in lockdown, there are different rules per country.

We recommend you to stay in close contact with your buyer, to see if he can receive the cargo you intend to ship.

For example, in South Africa, the truckers have to make an appointment to collect or deliver the cargo at the terminals.

The (un)loading of container ships in ports is sometimes delayed

In fear of contaminations of the crew on some container ships, they are not allowed to (un)load their cargo directly in the ports. As a result, the (un)loading of the cargo is sometimes delayed.

Railway Report from China to Europe is rising

Train traffic from China to Europe is slowly rising again. This after activities are being resumed in China.

Europe and Logistic digitalization

In addition to encouraging the use of digital transport letters such as E-CMR, Europe has now set up temporary measures so that official health certificates also can be presented digitally for reviewing.

Easter weekend

Please note that during the coming Easter weekend, the ports will also be closed;
this applies to Germany and the UK on Friday due to Good Friday and also among others to Belgium, the Netherlands, and France on Easter Monday.

Although most of our employees are working from home, our business is up and running.

Please let us know if there’s anything we can do to help you!

Corona Virus and the Consequences for the logistics sector- March 27 2020

We are trying to update you regularly on the developments surrounding the Corona (COVID-19) virus outbreak and the consequences for the logistics sector.

However, we realize that this news is subject to change and today’s news may be different tomorrow.

For now, we will share news and developments, which are currently important in our logistics sector.

Lockdown

The Indian government has closed the country because of the Corona crisis. The measure came into force on March 25th and will last for 21 days, though this period is likely to be extended.

In addition to India, a full lockdown has also been announced in several other countries, including Canada, South Africa and more than half of the United States. We expect more countries to follow suit.

We are currently investigating the consequences for the logistics sector and recommend that you check with your consignee first, whether or not they can receive goods.

Waiting times at EU borders

There is also a complete lockdown in a large number of European countries. European road transports can be delayed because of long waiting times at the border.

The port of Antwerp is operational 24/7

Despite the far-reaching social impact of the coronavirus outbreak (COVID-19), the port of Antwerp will remain 100 % operational 24/7.

Import from China and blank sailings

The Corona measures in China are gradually being phased out and production has started again. Partly due to declining demand for certain articles, the expected rate increases have not materialized and the pressure on vessel capacity is not as great as anticipated. Most booked shipments are back on schedule and space is also reasonably available at the moment.

However, European consumer demand for goods has decreased to such an extent, that this will have consequences for sailings in the coming weeks. Carriers are responding to this immediately by already announcing blank sailings.

Sea freight exports

At present, for exports to almost all sailing areas, space and equipment are still scarce. This has resulted in an increase in the rates.

We expect this will change from the end of April. Belgian production has decreased considerably, as a result of which exports will decline.

The blank sailings announced for import will also affect the number of sailings for export, in a few week’s time.

Airfreight

The lockdown in various countries will undoubtedly affect airfreight. At the moment it is difficult to estimate exactly what it will mean, also because the countries themselves are constantly changing the rules. Therefore, we recommend that you keep in close contact with our airfreight department if you want to schedule a shipment to one of the countries concerned.

For the time being, it is still possible to fly to and from most destinations.

Shipments to the USA now only go by cargo-carrier, at higher rates than before. Airfreight from China is currently booming, resulting in high rates.

Effect on rates

The current market conditions are creating sudden and unforeseen rate changes. 
Our rate and service proposals are made, based on capacity conditions at the time of the inquiry.
All offers must be re-confirmed with Embassy Freight Services Europea NV at the time of booking to be valid.
Thank you for your understanding.

Although most of our employees are working from home and can be reached by e-mail and phone on a normal basis, our business is up and running.

COVID 19 - Proposal to the Tax and Customs Authority for simplified procedures - March 22 2020

Within the framework of the State of Emergency (COVID-19), which came into effect yesterday, March 22, Justlog presented a proposal to the Tax and Customs Authority, with the objective of simplifying procedures in the issuing of documents of origin (ATR’s, EUR .1, Surveillance Documents, T2L’s and T2LF’s).

By analogy with our European partners, where also the emission of T2L and T2LF is already carried out in electronic format, it is our opinion that it would be extremely important to digitise all other documents mentioned (including T2L) with advantages unambiguous in the current state.

It is our belief that the implementation, even if provisional, of these measures would contribute to the necessary and mandatory social distancing, and in the future could leverage the necessary technological advance.

We base this conviction on the developments of the digital platform in use, the Customs Decision System, where the management of the requests that operators need to make to the services of the Tax Authority is currently carried out and Customs.

We are making our efforts to advise solutions to sort out problems we are facing

Please consult our customs department aduaneiro@justlog.pt
