    Objectives

    Who controls the shipping services

    How can they control this industry

    Why we need to know them ?

    Global issue

    Although they look quite remote from us,their decisions affect everyone

    Any changes in future shipping industry,come from these organisations

    BIMCO

    The Baltic and International Maritime Council

    established in Denmark in 1905 worlds largest international shipping association with

    approximately 2,550 members in 123 countries.

    The owner-members of BIMCO control a fleet of about 525million DWT thereby representing 65% of the worlds merchantfleet.

    IMO - mission

    to provide machinery for cooperation among Governments in thefield of governmental regulation and practices relating totechnical matters of all kinds affecting shipping engaged ininternational trade;

    to encourage and facilitate the general adoption of the highestpracticable standards in matters concerning maritime safety,efficiency of navigation and prevention and control of marinepollution from ships".

    The Organization is also empowered to deal with administrativeand legal matters related to these purposes.

    IMO

    Focus on International Convention for the Safety of Life atSea (SOLAS), since 1960.

    matters such as the facilitation of international maritimetraffic, load lines and the carriage of dangerous goods,while the system of measuring the tonnage of ships wasrevised.

    a new problem began to emerge - pollution. The growth inthe amount of oil being transported by sea and in the sizeof oil tankers was of particular concern.

    Shipping Document

    Documents required forthe carriage of goods

    Shipping Document

    For your information

    only

    BL - 1

    A bill of lading is a document which is issued by thetransportation carrier to the shipper acknowledgingthat they have received the shipment of goods andthat they have been placed on board a particularvessel which is bound for a particular destination andstates the terms in which these goods received areto be carried.

  • 8/22/2019 2- lecture 2 handout.pdf

    23/60

    23

    BL - 2

    Separate bills of lading are issued for theinland or domestic portion of thetransportation and the ocean or airtransportation, or a through bill of lading canbe obtained covering all modes oftransporting goods to their destination.

    BL - 3

    Bills of lading, whether inland or ocean, can beissued in either non-negotiable (straight) form or innegotiable form.

    If the bill of lading is specified as being non-negotiable, the transportation carrier must deliver itonly to the consignee named in the bill of lading,

    thus the bill of lading acts both as a receipt of goodsand as an agreement to transport these goods to aspecific destination and consignee in return forpayment of the transportation charges.

    BL - 4

    If the bill of lading is specifically labeled as beingnegotiable, ownership to the goods and the right tore-route the shipment are with the person who hasownership of the bill of lading properly issued ornegotiated to it.

    Such bills of lading are issued to shipper's order,rather than to a specific, named consignee. Wherecollection and payment is through banking channels,such as under a letter of credit or documentarycollection, negotiable bills of lading are required(except for air shipments). The exporter mustendorse the bill of lading and deliver it to the bank inorder to receive payment.

  • 8/22/2019 2- lecture 2 handout.pdf

    24/60

    24

    BL - 5

    There are four types of bills of lading: inland, ocean,through, and air waybill.

    Inland Bill of Lading - this is a a contract between ashipper and transportation company used whentransporting goods overland to an exporter'sinternational carrier.

    BL - 6

    Ocean Bill of Lading - this is a contractbetween a exporter and an internationalcarrier for transport of merchandise to aspecified foreign market overseas.

    BL - 7

    Through Bill of Lading - A document that establishesthe terms between a shipper and a transportationcompany covering both the domestic andinternational transport of export goods betweenspecified points for a specified charge. For example,an air shipment can be covered with a through bill oflading; however, ocean shipments require both aninland bill of lading (for domestic transport) and anocean bill of lading (for international transport).

  • 8/22/2019 2- lecture 2 handout.pdf

    25/60

    25

    BL - 8

    Air Waybill - An airway bill is a bill of lading whichcovers both domestic and international flightstransporting goods to a specified destination.

    It establishes the terms between a shipper and an airtransportation company for the transport of goods.Included in the document are the conditions,limitations of liability, shipping instructions,description of commodity, and applicabletransportation charges.

    BL - 9

    In addition, the air waybill is a non-negotiabledocument which serves as a receipt for theshipper, indicating that the carrier hasaccepted the goods listed and obligates itselfto carry the consignment to the airport ofdestination according to specified conditions.

    Liner concentration

    Liner concentration

    refer to UN ECLAC

    paper

    Concentration

    Liner companies, especially large one,cluster their services around a particularlocation

    Governments promotion of port efficiency

    Alliance formation

    Optimal vessels deployed in the trade

    Impacts of Concentration - 1

    Lower unit cost leads to lower freight rate

    Disproportion return on investment due tokeen competition, company need to pass theprofit to customer

    Overcapacity on certain trade lanes but notthe global situation

    Impacts of Concentration - 2

    Freight rate fluctuation High fixed costs induce high marginal pricing. To capture

    market share, in short run, company will only set to coveronly marginal costs

    Alliances Unstable formation, why ?

    Expansion of the trade lane from EW to NS Due to cascade effect of newly deploy large vessels

    Trans-shipment volume increase Port will gain with trans-shipment services

    Impacts of Concentration - 3

    Create trans-shipment centre

    Even the port can provide good service at lowprice, it depends on its location

    Segmentation of smaller liner company

    Focus on a particular segment in the market

    Change of government policy

    Depend on the attitude of individual government

    Outlook

    Concentration benefit everyone in theindustry

    Extend to wide coverage spreading

    Beware of the vertical integration as it mayturn into cartel operation

    How about the smaller players (liner + port) ?

    Small players

    Liner Cooperate or focus on a particular segment of

    market

    Port Accept the reality and cooperate with regional

    ports

    Promote trade, encourage more users to use theport

    Small players (contd)

    privatisation and open up the market forcompetition
