Метеорологичната обстановка в Ченай, Индия

admin — Thu, 20 May 2010 08:15:39 +0000

Зоната с ниско налягане, която се оформи в понеделник, 17-05-2010, на около 600 км изтоко-югоизток от Ченай, се разви в циклонна буря (Лайла)

Според синоптиците, вероятно бурята ще се насочи на запад-северозапад и след това ще промени посоката си към крайбрежието на Андра.

По крайбрежието на Тамил Наду и особено в Ченай, от снощи валят силни дъждове. Циклонът Лайла се очаква да прекоси брега утре като се предвижда проливните дъждове в Ченай да продължат.

Пристанищните операции на контейнерния терминал са прекратени поради силните пориви и над пристанище Ченай е издигнат флаг 3.

Метеорологичните условия, ще окажат влияние върху акостирането и отплаването на корабите, което ще доведе до изпускане на връзки с основните маршрути на контейнерните линии.

Време е за спешни логистични решения

admin — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 10:59:27 +0000

Майката природа ни показа, колко крехка е нашата цивилизация. Изригването на вулкана Ейяфялайкул (не ме карайте да го прозинеса – няма да мога) парализира повече от 300 летища в Европа, което засегна над шестдесет хиляди полета – това са над един милиард евро загуби. Което е по-лошото, оказахме се неподготвени.

Икономическите последствия все още не са точно оценени, но ще са огромни и ще засегнат не само въздушния транспорт, който и без това пострада достатъчно но и всички онези бизнеси, чиито вериги за доставка са базирани на въздушните товари – автомобилна промишленост, фармация, превоз на човешки органи за трансплантация, транспорт на пресни плодове и свежи цветя и др.

Нашата роля като спедитори е да протегнем ръка на всички засегнати бизнеси и да им предложим решения в тази критична ситуация. Ако не го направим, каква е тогава нуждата от нас?

Спешната логистика е решение в критични ситуации.

Вместо да гледаме кое летище не е отворено нека се съсредоточим в летищата които са отворени и как тези отворени порти на Европа могат да се използват. В момента летищата на София и Пловдив са отворени и могат да се използват по оопределени дестинации за редовни и чартърни полети – поемайки на изток. превозът с камиони през Турция също е решение, тъй като турското въздушно пространство е все още отворено (и няма и в скоро време да го затворят – поне не по тази причина).

Разбира се нормалните разходи на веригата за доставка ще се увеличат, но ситуацията не е нормална и новите маршрути могат да бъдат едно решение в този критичен за клиентите момент. Загубите им от неустойки, забавени доставки и развалена стока ще са много по-големи от нарастналите транспортни разходи.

Ние в Арис Карго сме готови да разгледаме конкретните нужди на всеки един изпращач или търговец и заедно с тях да намерим най-доброто решение в тази ситуация.

Свържете се с нас и споделете каква е конкретната ви ситуация, за да ви помогнем да я разрешите.

It is time for emergency solutions

admin — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 10:30:11 +0000

The nature has explicitly demonstrated how weak and vulnerable our civilization is. The eruption of Eyjafjallajoekull (don’t ask me to pronounce it – I can’t) has paralyzed more than 300 airports in Europe which impacts more than sixty thousand flights so far – these are billions of euro losses. Which is worse, it caught us unprepared.

The economical consequences are still not precisely calculated, but they will be tremendous and will concern not only the air transportation which is directly affected but concern also all businesses which supply chains are based on air freight – automotives, pharmaceuticals, cool supply chain, fresh flowers and products etc.

Now we as forwarders must stretch our helping hand to all the businesses concerned and to provide them with solutions in this emergency situation. If we miss to do so, why the businesses need us ?

Time critical logistics is solution in emergency situation.

Instead of looking what is closed now lets us see what is opened and how can this opened gateways to Europe be used. At the moment Sofia and Plovdiv airports are opened and can be used to certain destinations for regular and charter flights – going east. Trucking to Turkey is also an option as Turkish airspace is still opened. UPS has started re-routing, will you?

Of course the normal cost of the supply chain will be increased but the situation is not normal and the new routings can be an emergency solution to the problems customers has in the moment – problems that might bring much more loses from demurages, delays in schedules or spoiled goods.

Our company Aris Cargo is ready to look at each of your requests and together with you to look for the best solution in this situation.

ICTN – International Cargo Tracking Notice- Ocean Shipments Into/Ex Nigeria

admin — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 05:43:44 +0000

The Federal Executive Council in Nigeria has announced the implementation of Cargo Tracking Note System as part of procedure for cargo security and safety. Every commodity loaded or unloaded (Import/Export), at or with Nigeria as the final destination has to, prior of shipment, obtain a Cargo Tracking Note or International Cargo Tracking document from a Nigerian Ports Authority representative at any of the ports around the world. Therefore, all ocean cargo destined for or out of Nigeria (Import/ Export) need to be accompanied by a Cargo Tracking Note (CTN) and every bill of lading has to be accompanied by a corresponding CTN number.

Note that it is the shipper’s responsibility to apply for the CTN number using the below steps:

a. The shipper logs unto TPMS-Antaser website: www.tpms-antaser.com.
b. Shipper creates own account with User Name and Password on the website with which his/her identity will be registered.
c. Shipper accesses CTN Online Form using registered Username and Password in order to make declarations.
d. Shipper fills and submits the CTN online form and makes payment.
e. TPMS-Antaser (CTN) electronically and instantly conducts:

verification of cargo declarations
validation
control

f. TPMS issues control number to Shipper.
g. Shipper sends cargo advice with CTN number to Carrier for inclusion in Bill of Lading.
h. Carrier includes CTN control number in Bill of Lading. (Carrier is not to accept cargo without CTN control number)

The under-listed CTN tariff regime is to be implemented for the scheme in Nigeria:
