Topic: Transshipment


  
  Transshipment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Transshipment is the shipment of goods to an intermediate destination, and then from there to yet another destination.
One reason for this is so that the means of transport can be changed during the journey (eg.
Transshipment is legitimate and is fairly common, but it can also be a method used to disguise intent, as is the case with illegal logging, smuggling or grey market goods.

 PUERTO RICO HERALD: Transshipment Port Moves Full Steam Ahead   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The development of the transshipment port in Guayanilla is the focus of government attention from different groups and angles.
Transshipment port development cost is not expected to reach $1 billion but the government’s expense is expected to only cover the cost of the land to be expropriated, according to insiders.
The transshipment cargo brought from Europe and the Far East in post-Panamax ships, too large to pass through the Panama Canal, for North and South America as well as for Puerto Rico and the Caribbean, must be reloaded to smaller ships at the transshipment port.

She told the forum that most transshipment countries are nations the United States considers friends and allies in the war on terrorism.
Third, the transshipment countries often tend to be physically proximate to countries or end-users of concern.
Fourth, because transshipment countries themselves are not countries of concern themselves, they tend to enjoy very liberal export licensing treatment, which makes them attractive locations for those who seek to obtain controlled goods illicitly.

 PUERTO RICO HERALD: Prospect Of Base Closure Raises Possibility: Roosevelt Roads As Transshipment Port?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
By selecting Ponce as the site for the new transshipment port--discarding Guayanilla as a possible "secondary" location in the future--the current administration has settled for a less than ideal alternative, with very much limited scope and area (only about 1,000 acres), for what a true world-class transshipment port should be.
Transshipment activities, if the port is truly a megaport, are expected to create more than 20,000 direct and indirect jobs in related industries.
While the transshipment port itself will create between 500 and 1,000 direct jobs by the time it is completely developed, the bulk of the job creation (up to 20,000 new jobs) will come from these industries.

 Transship or direct: a real choice?
Its ocean cargo equivalent — transshipment — is spreading on numerous trade routes, as the economics of larger containerships and asset-intensive liner networks favor limiting motherships calls to larger load-centers.
Sartini said transshipment becomes economically more efficient when the economies of scale and savings on the itinerary deviation and port expenses of the mothership more than compensate for the transshipment and feeder expenses and the additional time spent by the mothership at the hubs.
The development of container transshipment hubs is arguably one of the fastest-growing area of the container shipping industry, with the associated changes in routing patterns that this implies for shippers.

 Economic Appendix
Annual rates for transshipment are expected to be higher, contributing to achieve an overall growth of 1.5 to 2.0 percent, or perhaps as much as 2.5 to 3.5 percent.
The difference in transshipment versus other growth reveals that transshipment throughput could increase to a value equal to nearly one-third of present throughput levels or 22 to nearly 25 percent of total containerized cargo tonnage throughput by the period 2010-2015.
Of this cargo allocation, approximately eighty (80) to eighty-five percent (85) of non-transshipment cargo is dispersed with a fifteen to twenty-mile radius of San Juan Harbor.

 Unperceived Ideological
Before studying unperceived ideological transshipment, it seems useful to emphasize all the importance and timeliness of the subject from the standpoint of the most re­cent strategy of the communists to conquer the world.
Without perceiving it, the patient of the transshipment process, whether an in­dividual, a group, or a large sector of opi­nion, changes from an attitude of resigna­tion to a somewhat favorable attitude of expectancy.
Unperceived ideological transshipment is new above all in that it no longer plays the secondary role of a collateral tool, but has now become the tactic most used by com­munism for the ideological conquest of the world.

For a major transshipment port similar to Freeport, Bahamas, or Kingston, Jamaica, pier space initially for about 5 post or super post panamax cranes with expansion for a long term build-out of 7 – 12 cranes is considered desirable.
Construction of the extensive wharfage needed for a transshipment port would almost certainly include deposit of fill in turtlegrass beds and mangrove wetlands, and would be extremely difficult to permit, given the other designated uses of this Bay.
For a transshipment port an extensive breakwater in deep water along with dredging and filling of adjacent low wetland areas would be required.

 EXBS Program: Global Transshipment Control Enforcement Workshop
Unless transshipment countries -- like those you represent here today -- can catch up with these supplier states and similarly strengthen your export control systems, your countries will remain an attractive target for this kind of predatory and illicit trade.
The consequences of a transshipment country gaining a reputation as a “free trade zone” for terrorists and criminal proliferators would be very serious, both to its international reputation as a reliable partner against proliferation -- and to international confidence in the security of commerce passing through that port.
In addition to protecting international security, implementation of improved transshipment controls can actually facilitate trade and increase revenue by focusing enforcement efforts on the very small fraction of trade that raises concern, while providing greater confidence and quicker clearance for the vast majority of legitimate trade.

 The Hindu : Vizhinjam transshipment terminal to become regional hub
India's first deepwater international container transshipment terminal, to come up at Vizhinjam, will not only fill the yawning gap in the handling of the country's container cargo, but could also emerge as a regional hub due to its close proximity to international shipping lines.
The Vizhinjam deepwater transshipment terminal, to be located some 20 km from here, is to be developed through public-private sector partnership on a `Build-Operate-Transfer' (BOT) basis.
Speaking of the growing need for a transshipment terminal in the country, officials closely associated with the Vizhinjam project said that according to the Tenth Plan document, the country was losing about Rs.

Saipan and Guam remain as major transshipment points for methamphetamine hydrochloride in the international illegal drug trade, particularly those exported from the Philippines and Hong Kong, with commercial air couriers and express mail services serving as a primary means of shipment.
The report also identified Hong Kong as a major transshipment point of ice before it is exported to Guam and the United States.
The State Department said that Hong Kong still serves as a transshipment point of illegal drugs, although its role has diminished due to law enforcement efforts and cooperative relationships with the U.S. government.

Transshipment is therefore not just a logistic convenience measure, but also an opportunity for adding value to the goods transshipped and to the value of the logistic chain performance.
Other incentives driving transshipment are the potential for reducing the impediments and costs of cabotage by using foreign transshipment ports as a base for feeder transport to and from a whole like of national ports.
The transshipment port may be one or a range of ports (usually the one with the most traffic) or a pure transshipment port without significant traffic of its own.

 Increased Incidents of Transshipment and Counterfeit Documents Found
Apparel importers have already experienced a slow-down of CBP clearance at the Port of Los Angeles and delays will soon be felt in other ports as well as a result of country-of-origin-based detentions.
In addition, CBP is now resorting to seizing shipments, allegedly to be transshipped, where a foreign government confirms that a country of origin certificate is counterfeit.
CBP has announced that 2004 will be the year of “quota shenanigans” due to it being the last year of quota and expectations that many quotas will close early.

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing stricter requirements for transshipments of substances that deplete stratospheric ozone from foreign countries through the United States to foreign destinations.
In response to that proposal several companies suggested EPA create a permitting process for transshipments to combat the known use of transshipment as a means of illegally importing controlled substances.
Since that time, EPA has confirmed that transshipments are a large and common loophole for the illegal entry of controlled substances into U.S. commerce.
