Thanksgiving is a typically American holiday. It’s not celebrated in Europe, but it does make you think of what you are thankful for. I’m thankful for the start Cogoport has had in Europe. Our office is in an inspiring location in the center of Rotterdam, a City which has welcomed us in a warm way. And it is great to be so close to the biggest container port in Europe, if optimizing global freight is one of your passions.I’m also thankful for the many interesting encounters with importers and exporters and hearing about their challenges and helping them optimize their freight through our platform.<a href="https://api.whatsapp.com/message/N4CI7UNDFE2ZM1?autoload=1&amp;app_absent=0&amp;utm_source=web&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=general" target="_blank"><img src="https://cdn.cogoport.io/cms-prod/cogo_public/vault/original/Blog Banner WA 2.png" width="auto" style="width: auto; height: auto;"></a>The team in Europe is growing as well, with our latest addition: President of Supplier Relations &amp; International Growth, <a href="https://www.cogoport.com/en-IN/blogs/welcome-on-board" target="_blank">Flemming Frost</a>. Just last week we moved offices in the same location, to be able to accommodate our growth.So, while feeling thankful, I will move on to my highlights in Freight and Tech news of this week.<h2>Global Supply Chains</h2>“The global maritime industry is cautiously optimistic about the global business environment for world trade but also concerned about the potential impact of trade tensions, cybersecurity, fuel costs and other headwinds to industry recovery, according to a new survey.”→ Shipping Industry Optimistic But Concerned About Trade, Cyber Threats<h2>Ocean Freight Tariffs and Capacity</h2>“A.P. Moller - Maersk expects tariffs to take a bite out of the ocean shipping industry in 2019, according to executives on a recent earnings call.The carrier will meet this contraction by "rightsizing" its capacity on the Pacific routes out of the U.S. — a process that has already begun, according to Chief Commercial Officer Vincent Clerc, since West Coast ports are already forecasting a slowdown in the new year."As the tariffs start to come into effect in January, we are likely to see — we expect to see, a significant slowdown in demand of imports into the U.S. as a lot of customers have actually accelerated their purchase orders to get them into the U.S., before," said Clerc.”→ <a href="https://www.supplychaindive.com/news/maersk-tariffs-hit-hard-2019/542460/" target="_blank">Maersk planning for tariffs to hit hard in 2019</a>“IMO 2020 could be very helpful in terms of supply,” said McKinsey &amp; Co partner Steve Saxon.“If it leads to 12- to 15-year-old ships going to the scrappers instead of getting scrubbers installed – it could be the saviour for the industry’s supply and demand imbalance.”→ 2020 low sulphur regulations could be 'the saviour' of container shipping“Drewry has waded into the debate over the European Commission’s consultation on the block exemption afforded to container lines serving the EU, which is due to expire in April 2020.The consultant said it could see “validity in both points of view” – those for an extension of the block exemption, and those against – but said shippers should “not fear alliances”, which, it contended, had actually “aided competition during a period of market concentration”.”→ Drewry sides with those wanting extension to block exemption for joint liner services<a href="https://cogoport.com/signup/en-IN/?utm_source=web&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=general" target="_blank"><img src="https://cdn.cogoport.io/cms-prod/cogo_public/vault/original/Blog-Banner-Portal-1.png" width="auto" style="width: auto; height: auto;"></a><h2>Freight and Logistics Tech</h2>Rotterdam is one of the most innovative Ports in the world, nurturing and stimulating a lot of startups to investigate new technologies that could make port operations and shipping more efficient. Nice to see similar developments across the Channel.“A UK government-backed initiative to foster digital innovation across industry is looking to demonstrate the benefits of distributed ledger technology (DLT) in the shipping sector by 2020.The mostly widely known example of DLT is blockchain. However, it is not the only option, with at least two others available, including a system known as consensus, for closed computer networks, and another known as emergent consensus.”→ Whitehall backs move to bring distributed ledger technology to UK portsLike Cogoport is revolutionizing and simplifying shipping freight across the globe, other startups are using physical products like robots to revolutionize other parts of the supply chain. Warehouses, for example. And there is a cool video in the article below."Technology is revolutionizing supply chain," Jericho Zhang, executive director of Warburg Pincus, said in a release. "Geek+ is one of the leading technology companies that is able to combine robotics, big data, AI, and other cutting-edge technologies to solve the pain points of the traditional supply chain.

Ocean Freight & Logistics Tech Outlook

This Week in Ocean Freight (23/11/18): Industry News, Trends & Rate Updates

A Guide to Inland Logistics: Road, Rail and Barge

Complete Guide to Road, Rail & Barge Transport for Exporters & Importers

Six decades since its inception, container shipping today accounts for 60% of international maritime trade by value, or $12 trillion (as of 2017). It is an easy, safe and cost-effective solution for exporters and importers.<a href="https://cogoport.com/signup/en-IN/?utm_source=web&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=general" target="_blank"><img src="https://cdn.cogoport.io/cms-prod/cogo_public/vault/original/Blog-Banner-Portal-1.png" width="auto" style="width: auto; height: auto;"></a>While it has simplified international trade, container shipping itself has become more complex to accommodate a wide range of goods being shipped across the world. As a result, exporters often struggle to find the right container for their goods. One reason for this is their overdependence on freight forwarders and customs house agents – intermediaries who specialise in making decisions for their clients. But an exporter who makes informed choices about his shipment on the basis of personal knowledge worries less about things going wrong. Choosing the correct container is just one of these important decisions.&nbsp;This blog aims to familiarise exporters with the world of containers and container shipping, and hopefully help them make the right choices. It will tackle the following subjects:<ul><li>What can go wrong by picking the wrong container</li><li>Types of containers used in container shipping</li><li>Standard container sizes</li><li>Freight weight, freight volume and how to calculate them</li><li>Load capacity and how to calculate it&nbsp;</li><li>Everything else to watch out for.</li></ul><h3>The Wrong Container Can Lead to a Sea of Problems</h3>Exporters risk damage to their cargo if the container is not the right fit or the right type. A lot can go wrong, such as:<ul><li>Containers being dropped during handling due to overweight or unevenly distributed cargo</li><li>Leaks, fires, temperature damage due to improper packing, stowage and miss-declaration of cargo. Improper packing and/or stowage accounts for 95% of cargo damage</li><li>Cargo contamination from container floor/pallet preservatives, wet surfaces, other cargo (for shared containers)</li><li>Cargo damage due to insect and vermin infestation.</li></ul><h3>Types of Containers Used in Container Shipping</h3>First, it is important to pick the right container type for your cargo. You have six options to choose from:<ul><li>Dry storage container: Made of aluminium or steel, it is used to ship dry freight. The most popular variety is either 20 feet or 40 feet long. It has doors on one side. Up to eight of these containers can be stacked one on top of the other&nbsp;</li><li>Flat rack container: With collapsible sides that fold, it is ideal for transporting cars and boats</li><li>Open side container: Can be opened completely on the side, allowing wider loading. Popular option for vegetables such as potatoes, onions</li><li>Open top container: Has no roof and is ideal for odd-sized goods such as machinery and logs</li><li>Refrigerated container: Also called a reefer, it is a cooling container with a generator and is used to transport food, flowers and pharmaceutical goods. Newer versions come with a carbon dioxide control system that keeps ripening food fresh&nbsp;</li><li>Tank: A cylindrical container designed to retain liquids, gases and powders. Carries both hazardous (oils, chemicals, fuels) and non-hazardous (wines, spirits, juices) products. There are various types of tank containers – baffle, lined, heated, refrigerated and gas tanks.</li></ul>Containers are also classified on the basis of whether they are fully used or shared:<ul><li>Full Container Load (FCL): This means a container is used for a single shipment. It is suitable for big businesses transporting goods in bulk. The advantage of an FCL container is that once it is loaded and sealed at the port of origin, it is opened only at the port of destination. This ensures faster delivery and more security for the goods being shipped.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</li><li>Less-than-Container Load (LCL): This is suitable for transporting cargo in moderate volumes. Multiple exporters can share one container. It works out cheaper but delivery might be slower.</li></ul><a href="https://api.whatsapp.com/message/N4CI7UNDFE2ZM1?autoload=1&amp;app_absent=0&amp;utm_source=web&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=general" target="_blank"><img src="https://cdn.cogoport.io/cms-prod/cogo_public/vault/original/Blog Banner WA 1.png" width="auto" style="width: auto; height: auto;"></a><h3>Standardised Containers: One Size Doesn’t Fit All</h3>When the first containers were built in the 1950s, they were 33-35 feet in length. In 1961, the International Organisation for Standardization introduced standard-sized containers to make them compatible with different modes of transport (rail, sea and road). The most widely used are the 20-foot and 40-foot containers:<ul><li>20-foot container: Also called the Twenty-foot Equivalent Unit (TEU). Designed to carry heavy rather than voluminous cargo (minerals, paper, metals and machinery).&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</li><li>40-foot container: Also called 2 TEU. Designed to carry voluminous rather than heavy cargo (furniture, cotton, tobacco, steel pipes).</li><li>40-foot high cube container: The same as a 40-foot container but with an additional height of one foot.&nbsp;</li></ul><h3>How to Calculate Freight Weight and Freight Volume</h3>After selecting the right container type, the next step is to calculate freight weight and freight volume. The first is easy. Calculate the weight in kilograms or tons. As for freight volume, it is measured in cubic meter (CBM) and the formula is fairly simple:<h4>‍(Length x Width x Height) x Quantity</h4>So, if your cargo comprises identical boxes, it is the length x width x height of each box multiplied by the number of boxes. If the boxes are of different sizes, repeat the formula for each size and add up the volumes.Note: To calculate the CBM of cylindrical packages such as a rolled carpet, exporters must check if the ship squares the circle, which means the diameter becomes the width and height. If not, use the formula Pi x 2 (squared) x Height where pi is the ratio of the circumference to the diameter of a circle.There are numerous CBM calculators available online, that do the math for you if you fill in the required number fields.<h3>How to Determine Load Capacity‍</h3>Knowing your freight volume is necessary for figuring out how much space your cargo will occupy in a standard sized container. Here, it is important to understand that a container cannot be filled to its maximum capacity, and that its actual capacity is a little over 80% of its maximum capacity.&nbsp;<figure class="w-richtext-figure-type-image w-richtext-align-fullwidth" style="max-width:744px" data-rt-type="image" data-rt-align="fullwidth" data-rt-max-width="744px"><div><img src="https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/5e57ba59552cf400c593fd16/5f12dee2a5f32d6b549cfce3_Screenshot%202020-07-18%20at%205.05.26%20PM.png" alt="Load Capacity of various containers" width="auto" height="auto" loading="auto"></div></figure>(HC = high cube)* Measurements based on ideal conditions, could vary from operator to operator&nbsp; <h3>How to Pay for Your Container</h3>For FCL containers, you usually pay what is called a commodity box rate (CBR). The Business Dictionary defines CBR as “freight rate classified by commodity and quoted per container”.For LCL containers, freight is charged on the basis of volume or CBM, provided the freight weight does not exceed one ton. For cargo weighing more than one ton, freight is charged on the basis of CBM or weight, whichever is higher.<img src="https://cdn.cogoport.io/cms-prod/cogo_public/vault/original/Blog Banner WA 2.png" alt="" width="300px"><h3>A Few Things to Keep in Mind</h3>That takes care of the heavy lifting. All that’s left now is to book the right container. But wait. There are still a few minor things to watch out for:<ul><li>Different shipping lines have their own weight limits. Be sure to check with them beforehand</li><li>Check what you are allowed to export. For instance, some destination countries might have banned certain goods from entering their soil&nbsp;</li><li>Pack and stow your cargo safely to avoid the problems listed above. Also make sure you declare your cargo accurately. You may be liable for any lapses</li><li>Get yourself a good freight forwarder and customs house agent. As professionals familiar with everyone in the shipping process, they can offer expert advice, get you the best offers and troubleshoot if glitches come up</li></ul><h3>We’re Here to Help</h3>At Cogoport, we’re here to make your shipping process as smooth as possible.

How to Select the Right Cargo Container

How to Find the Right Container: Types, Sizes & Tips for Exporters

The Indian government proposed a new scheme to introduce insurance cover for small exporters in the country. The new scheme also offers insurance cover amid slowing levels of exports. The new NIRVIK (Niryat Rin Vikas Yojna) scheme was introduced by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman to help achieve higher credit disbursement for exports.<img src="https://cdn.cogoport.io/cms-prod/cogo_public/vault/original/Blog-Banner-Portal-3.png" alt="" width="300px"> The scheme will reduce the amount of premium small exporters have to pay. In addition to the insurance scheme, procedures for claiming settlements have also been simplified. The commerce and industry ministry is working with the Export Credit Insurance Scheme (ECIS) to implement the new scheme. Up to 90% of the principal amount and interest is guaranteed under the NIRVIK scheme, which is a step up from the previous 60% by the Export Credit Guarantee Corporation. In addition to the NIRVIK scheme, a new scheme will be introduced later in 2020 to reimburse taxes and duties paid by importers. It will allow digital refund of duties at both Central and State levels. It will help ease the remission of duties which is a complex process in its current state. All major export districts in the country will receive renewed focus as the government is trying to develop them into export hubs. State governments and the Central government are working together to create better opportunities for exporters.

According to a provision proposed in the latest budget, Indian Custom Officials can now ask importers about imported goods. The provision is applicable to all imports that have happened within the past five-years under the Free Trade Agreement (FTA). According to the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence, it will help Indian Custom Officials curb instances of false claims for FTA benefits. India’s deficit has dropped from $148.2 billion in April-December 2018 to $118.1 billion in April-December 2019.<img src="https://cdn.cogoport.io/cms-prod/cogo_public/vault/original/Blog-Banner-Portal-2.png" alt="" width="300px"> The rules of origin serve as criteria to determine the origin country of any imported product. The information will be used by the Indian Custom Officials to determine if FTA claims are legitimate or not. According to the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI), the use of fake documents has been on the rise. Importers often show fake documents to change the origin country to take advantage of India’s trade pact laws. &nbsp; However, industry experts are not happy about the decision by the Indian custom officials. It could lead to harassment even for legitimate importers. The move comes in the wake of the Indian government trying to curb imports in the country by introducing stricter norms. Industry representatives have called the move protectionist citing low utilization of FTAs in the first place.

How would you feel when your exported goods do not clear customs upon arrival at the destination port. Wouldn’t you feel disappointed, or maybe a tinge of regret? Well, here’s some good news!Countries have recently started to keep a check of the standards of goods, coming into the ports. These are the Certificate of Conformity of various countries. Saudi Arabia is one of the major export markets for India’s rice. According to a recent <a href="https://www.business-standard.com/article/economy-policy/india-s-rice-exports-hit-as-saudi-arabia-makes-quality-rules-stringent-119092401288_1.html" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204); background-color: transparent;">business-standard article</a> Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA), the quality regulators in Saudi Arabia, has made it mandatory from 1st September 2019, for each rice consignment to be accompanied by a CoC, however Indian Rice Exporters have been given time till 31st December 2019 to provide an affidavit that they will submit a CoC for the shipments that are being shipped after 1st September 2019. So, as an exporter or importer, this is something you must know about.<a href="https://api.whatsapp.com/message/N4CI7UNDFE2ZM1?autoload=1&amp;app_absent=0&amp;utm_source=web&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=general" target="_blank"><img src="https://cdn.cogoport.io/cms-prod/cogo_public/vault/original/Blog Banner WA 1.png" width="auto" style="width: auto; height: auto;"></a>Certificate of Conformity (CoC) is a document issued to the exporter and importers indicating that the shipped products meet the required standards. This document is generally required for the customs clearance of your goods. In layman's terms, this is the passport of your shipped goods.Many countries initiate specific standards to maintain the quality of goods imported into the market. This is undertaken to ensure the safety and wellbeing of their citizens, and some countries insist that before products are exported, they are inspected to maintain standards.Traditionally, governments used to inspect goods at the entry port. However, this could result in a massive monetary loss for the exporter due to delays, as he would have already paid for freight and goods. Thus this practice started happening before the goods are dispatched.The Saudi Arabian Standards Organization (SASO) certificate is a necessary document to clear customs when exporting to Saudi Arabia. SASO CoC (Saudi Arabia Certificate of Conformity) certifies that the goods have been tested and inspected to meet the needs of the SASO standards. However, goods can be subject to additional inspections as per customs officials need, on the arrival of the item in the Saudi Market.<a href="https://cogoport.com/signup/en-IN/?utm_source=web&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=general" target="_blank"><img src="https://cdn.cogoport.io/cms-prod/cogo_public/vault/original/Blog-Banner-Portal-3.png" width="auto" style="width: auto; height: auto;"></a>Procurement of a SASO certificate is a month-long process or even more. There are several independent agencies that provide you with a SASO CoC. However, you would need the following before you begin the application process:&nbsp;<ol><li class="ql-align-justify">Signed and stamped commercial invoice on the company's letterhead, duly stamped by the local chamber of commerce</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Certificate of Origin obtained from the local chamber of commerce, verifying the country of origin of goods you want to export.</li></ol>Once these things are procured, you will need to send these over to the agency with a SASO CoC. In turn, they will inform what tests and inspections are required for the certification.What you will need to know if you are regularly exporting to Saudi Arabia is that you can register your products with the SASO CoC providing agency. Expediting the testing process of your products. A possibility lies that one of your two shipments is going for the testing phase.&nbsp;In addition to these, you must know that the inspecting agencies must be authorised and recognised in Saudi Arabia. So people do keep a note, no matter how good quality your goods are, if you are not providing the SASO CoC for the same, you can’t export to Saudi Arabia.Happy Cogo-FreightingLooking to sign up for Cogoport’s service?

Top 3 Busiest Container Ports in India

Major Indian Sea Ports: Top 10 Ports & Busiest Container Hubs in India

Cargo, when transported around the world is faced with many risks, regardless of the shape and size. Be it the weather or human error, cargo loss is revenue lost for exporters and importers. This is where marine insurance will be crucial. Marine insurance will typically insure losses against physical damage to cargo on the move or in storage.<a href="https://api.whatsapp.com/message/N4CI7UNDFE2ZM1?autoload=1&amp;app_absent=0&amp;utm_source=web&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=general" target="_blank"><img src="https://cdn.cogoport.io/cms-prod/cogo_public/vault/original/Blog Banner WA 3.png" width="auto" style="width: auto; height: auto;"></a>
But what is marine insurance exactly?

In many ways similar to regular insurance, marine insurance is designed to meet the needs of the shipping industry. It helps to protect against loss or damage of cargo including the cost of moving it, or liability to a third party occurring during a shipment. It can be extended to cover losses on inland transport either by inland waters, road or rail.

How will marine insurance offer protection for your cargo?

Marine insurance policies tend to cover commonly defined packages. If you are looking for a fully comprehensive cover you may need what is called “Institute Cargo Clause (All Risks) – ICC (A)” which pretty well covers every risk you’re like to encounter. The alternative is to look for a plan that lists out specific risks that will be covered.

And these come in two main varieties.

ICC (B) covers a long list of named risks or perils such as fire, ship loss, unloading in the wrong place when your ship gets into trouble and the usual natural phenomenon such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.<img src="https://cdn.cogoport.io/cms-prod/cogo_public/vault/original/Blog-Banner-Portal-2.png" alt="" width="300px">You would also likely be covered for things such as water getting into your cargo or your contained being lost at sea for whatever reason.

The third, and simplest cover, - ICC(C) focuses on disasters such as explosions, fires, lost ships or jettisoned the cargo.

There will be times when different levels of cover seem appropriate and you will be able to decide what works for you on any given consignment. Importantly, a shipper and consignees need to be very aware on a case by case basis what level of cover they have brought as there are considerable differences between the policies that are on sale.

Obviously the policy will include the full terms that govern your contract but you may want to check the exact meaning of terms such as General Average - is a useful [website](http://www.duhaime.org/LegalDictionary/Category/MaritimeLawDictionary.aspx) &nbsp;full of maritime legal terms.

With the right insurance protection, not only will your cargo be well protected, your investment in your cargo, and protection will be well rewarded.

In the event that your shipment is lost, marine covers ensure that you do not lose out completely on the revenue you would have earned through the lost cargo. Moreover, you will have peace of mind, knowing that your cargo is well protected in the event of any eventuality that could occur.

So check out the insurance being offered by providers on the Cogoport’s platform and enjoy the protection of your shipment with ease.
