OVERVIEW OF AIR CARGO INDUSTRY

Module 05– Air Transport Freight Forwarding FIATA Diploma in International Freight Forwarding

CHAPTER 1 OVERVIEW OF AIR CARGO INDUSTRY

₋ More regulation will come and if inappropriate, it will significantly add costs and extend delivery times

₋ Industry options are to (i) proactively shape it, or (ii) wait-and-see

₋ IATA can provide leadership – option (ii) is a bad idea

₋ First estimates suggest minimum cost avoidance (compared to physical / technical inspection) of circa USD 650 millions p.a

3 GLOBAL REGULATORY FRAMEWORK WORLD CUSTOMS ORGANIZATION (WCO)

₋ More secured air cargo network + simplified business process

₋ Compliance with multiple programs through 1 set of standards

₋ 2006 Stanford University supply chain security report, found benefits of:

- A reduction in transit times by 29%

- Reduced theft in inventory management by 38%

₋ Audit, certification & registration (for government approval)

₋ Build critical mass of (regulatory & industry) stakeholder support

₋ Seek amendment to ICAO air cargo security Standards

₋ Seek recognition of equivalence with relevant global & state programs

WARSAW CONVENTION AND ITS AMENDMENTS 1 The Warsaw Convention 1929 (12 October 1929)

 Conducted in Warsaw Poland in 1929

 The Warsaw is a multilateral treaty, by ICAO

 Applies to international transport via national law of the signatory countries.

 The convention does NOT apply to domestic air transport

 For Unification of Rules to International Carriage by Air in respect to carrier’s liability.

 To uniform of procedure dealing with claims, law applicable to such claims, and documentation such as tickets and waybill.

 A legal status to air waybill as evidence of transport contract.

 Details of air waybill requirements.

 Responsibilities of consigner for preparing air waybill and correctness.

 Subject to Carrier and his servant and agents

 Liable for damage, loss, delay or damage caused by delay of the cargo.

 Unless he can prove that

 Damage caused by error of piloting, handling aircraft

 and he has taken all necessary measures to avoid the damage.

WARSAW CONVENTION AND ITS AMENDMENTS

 The carrier’s liability is limited to 250 francs Poincare/ kg

 High valued cargo declaration, subject to special fee

 Willful misconduct of the carrier.

5 WARSAW CONVENTION AND ITS AMENDMENTS

 The Hague Protocol is 1st amendment to Warsaw Convention

 Main amendments in terms of cargo is:

 Simplification to documents of carriage

 Extension of its application to air carrier’s agent and servants

 Giving more meaningful definition to “willful misconduct”

WARSAW CONVENTION AND ITS AMENDMENTS 2 The Hague Protocol 1955

 Special Drawing Rights (SDR) as replacement with Franc Poincare.

 Special Drawing Rights is a mixed sum based since 1JAN 1981 on a basket of US Dollars, UK Pound, French franc, German Mark, and Japanese Yen

 Carrier is only exempted in very limited cases:

 Act of war, act of public authority

 Inherent defect of cargo or defective packing of consignor

 Liability limit remained same for MP4 i.e 17SDR (about US$

 MP4 simplifies formality of the air waybill, allowing them to be replaced by computer records.

 MP4 reduces particulars on an air waybill, eliminates the sanction for omission of particulars.

WARSAW CONVENTION AND ITS AMENDMENTS 4 Montreal Convention 1999 (MC99)

 One of the key benefits of MC99: paperless air cargo  efficiency, quality, security, cost and environmental benefits

 MC99 entered in to force in 2003 and now has 127 Parties

 Countries that have not ratified MC99 but continue to be subject to the Warsaw Convention 1929 (WC29) and Hague Protocol 1955

(HP55) regimes paper documents of carriage such as the air waybill must accompany the shipment throughout its journey

 Under MC99 carrier liability is limited to:

per kilogram for destruction, loss or damage of cargo

THE IATA CARGO AGENT

CHAPTER 2 THE IATA CARGO AGENT

 After September 11,the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) implemented new rules to insure the safety of domestic and international air travel in the United States

 Shippers who have been properly vetted by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) are considered a Known Shipper and may tender their freight for shipment on both passenger and cargo-only aircraft

1 AIR CARGO STAKEHOLDERS 1.1 Shipper/ consignor

 A consignor/ sender/ shipper initiates the movement or transport of the goods

 A consignee is the party designated on the invoice or packing list as the recipient of the goods at the end of the transport movement

Known consignors

 An entity originates cargo or mail for its own account and when its procedures meet common security rules and standards sufficient

 Once a known consignor has accounted for the security status of cargo, the consignment may be delivered to a regulated agent , other approved entity , or directly to the aircraft operator, who then takes over the responsibility for keeping it secure until it is loaded on to an aircraft

 a known consignor often be a manufacturer or assembler should demonstrate compliance with the known consignor security programs

Security controls applied by known consignors

AIR CARGO STEAKEHOLDES ( ENTITIES)

Loading chart (tact 8.2)

Volume limitations

₋ The volume that can be occupied by the payload in a hold or in a CPT is finite and depends on the inernal dimensions of the aircraft

₋ Low- density cargo (bulky cargo) will use the entire volume of the CPT befor reaching the weight limtation.

₋ High-density cargo will first be limited by the maximum weight limitation of the CPT The remaining volume cannot be used.

AIRCRAFT LIMITATION

A unit load device (ULD) is a pallet or container used to load luggage, freight, and mail on wide-body aircraft and specific narrow-body aircraft It allows a large quantity of cargo to be bundled into a single unit.

UNIT LOAD DEVICES

ULDs have many forms and sizes

Special ULD with climate control for vegetable, meats, or pressurization for live animals or special loading for hanging garments

UNIT LOAD DEVICE 2 Types of ULDs

- Pallet is flat aluminum sheets where cargo was built up

Pallet comes with net to tie up cargo.

- Frames guides cargo building-up to shape cargo into contour of an aircraft and to maximize permissible mass.

AIR CARGO AUTOMATION

Development of cargo automation 4.5 E- freight

1.1 SITA- Société International de Télé Communication Aéronautiques Société Coopérative.

 Today: 440 members operating in 10 countries and territories  world’s largest specialised telecommunication network

 Activities mainly in 2 categories: telecommunication and data processing

ADMINISTRATIVE AUTOMATION

Prepare run sheets then phone, fax or email to carriers ➜ Automate communication of freight requirements to freight providers.

Each dispatcher and site manages freight movements in their own way, requiring

➜ Standardize freight execution processes across the entire business.

Delivery requirements change, but carriers are not informed; the wrong

➜ Real time visibility over freight requirements increases time available for better planning and execution of transport.

Proof of delivery queries and exceptions hold up invoice payments

No visibility of freight movements across sites or by management ➜ Accessibility from anywhere, anytime.

Integrate once - and only once

Leverage web based technology

Implement new logistics initiatives to reduce freight spend but have difficulty measuring the actual impact on freight spend.

➜ Measure freight costs in real time

See how your logistics initiatives have reduced your freight spend.

An inability to accurately measure the performance of freight providers, due to lack of complete and timely data.

➜ Measurements of freight provider performance, daily, weekly or monthly; measure against key performance goals agreed in service level agreements.

Larger suppliers attempt to lock customers in through proprietary systems and integration with core systems.

➜ No lock-in eCargo is a neutral party whereby suppliers can be unplugged and replaced with minimal change to the business

Traditional Process Using eCargo Different processes and tools used to manage each mode of transport No integration between modes.

➜ Multi-Modal capability provides end to end visibility - whether by road, rail or sea Provides shipping schedule and vessel booking management.

Little visibility over inbound freight for raw materials and stock from other sites/suppliers.

➜ Leverage off the existing network of eCargo customers One customer's finished goods is another customer's inbound materials Control of inbound logistics and optimisation of in/outbound vehicle movements.

Distributed management of dispatch and invoicing ➜ Centralised management of dispatch and/or invoicing.

1.4 Exchange of information EDI ( Electronic Data Interchange

 EDI is the electronic transfer of information from one computer to another to meet the requirement of international commerce:

 Uniformity, accuracy and economy of cargo data exchange

 The message is expressed under the form of codes and abbreviations which are understood by all parties involved

 Automating the Cargo Ground Handling Process using modern technologies and systems will help reduce operational costs without compromising on the quality of services

E-FREIGHT?

 In 2004, IATA introduced ‘e-Freight’: paperless, standardized air cargo transport, aimed at freeing the air cargo process of paper documents

 IATA e-freight is taking the paper out of the air cargo supply chain and replacing it with cheaper, more accurate and more reliable electronic messaging

 As of January 2010, 24 locations that account for 64% of international air cargo volumes are e- freight capable

 By the end of 2010, 44 locations and 76 major airport will be e- freight live, representing over 80% of air cargo volumes.
