\nFIATA – Together we are Strong! <\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

In the wake of the Coronavirus outbreak, FIATA President, Basil Pietersen, in a communique to members noted that these are unprecedented times where in most of our living memories has the world faced such a global crisis. With the priority being to combat the global health pandemic by governments, FIATA sees a need to also focus on the business outcomes which drive our societal and personal outcomes.<\/span><\/p>\n

While FIATA notes the resilience of its National Association affiliates and their members, FIATA\u2019s President calls its community to unite and convey a clear and concise message to their respective National governments that the freight forwarders will be pivotal to each economy\u2019s revival and need to be at the heart of what will be required in trade facilitation reform. \u201cThere is now more than ever a common need to fully implement the World Trade Organisation Agreement on Trade Facilitation\u201d according Basil Pietersen, President of FIATA.<\/span><\/p>\n

National Association are advised to meet the challenge of their members in being recognized as a \u201cspecial industry category\u201d in the discussions that will need to be held for the future rebuild.<\/span><\/p>\n

INTERNATIONAL ORGANISATIONS ON TRADE: REACTIONS TO COVID-19<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n


\nIATA – Air Cargo Essential to Fight Against COVID-19<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

IATA and its members continue to support governments in their efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19. Air cargo is instrumental in transporting food and other products purchased online in support of quarantine and social distancing policies implemented by states.<\/span><\/p>\n

The dramatic travel restrictions and collapse of passenger demand have severely limited cargo capacity. IATA calls on governments to take urgent measures to ensure that air cargo will be available to support the global fight against COVID-19.<\/span><\/p>\n

IRU \u2013 Coronavirus and its impact on supply chains and mobility networks<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

An open letter by IRU Secretary General, Umberto de Pretto, stressed the importance to keep transport links open wherever and as long as possible in affected areas, so that people and essential goods can get to where they need to be, and to protect transport workers and companies who are the economic backbone of our societies.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mr. de Pretto emphasised that IRU stands ready to provide the UN, its related agencies as well as all governments practical advice from the ground and guidance to ensure that, as a global community, we effectively tackle this pandemic.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe top priority now must be to protect the health and safety of people at risk from COVID-19,\u201d Director-General Azev\u00eado added, heartened by governments’ moves to introduce fiscal and monetary measures to prevent social lockdown from leading to large-scale business failure and job losses.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAlongside these measures, maintaining open trade and investment flows will be critical to protect jobs, prevent supply chain breakdown, and ensure that vital products do not become unaffordable for consumers,\u201d <\/span><\/em>he said. <\/span><\/p>\n

UIC \u2013 Working to Provide Concrete Measures Against COVID-19<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

In the context of COVID-19, the strength of these networks is used to give Members and partners the possibility to regularly exchange information on status and about preventive measures and procedures, especially taking into account the fact that railways \u2013 along with other means of transport \u2013 present a favourable environment for the spread of the disease.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is why UIC has launched the COVID-19 Task Force, which held its Kick-off meeting by videoconference on 5 March 2020. Since then, and in the spirit of sharing current practices, UIC members and partner organisations have provided the Task Force with relevant information leading to the publication of the newest UIC document: Management of COVID-19: Guidance for railway stakeholders, A series of potential measures published by the International Union of Railways.<\/span><\/p>\n

ICAO \u2013 Urges National Governments to Implement Standards on COVID-19<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

States were strongly urged in the ICAO State Letter to coordinate between aviation and health authorities and to establish National Facilitation Committees that comprise all relevant groups, taking into account that cross-sector collaboration at the national level is essential. <\/span><\/p>\n

They were also encouraged to adhere to ICAO Annex 9 standards relevant to sustainable air freight operations and the global air cargo supply chain, and to refer to specific Annex 9 guidance and other ICAO guidance manuals concerning additional measures to be applied in a health emergency, including screening. <\/span><\/p>\n

Joint Open Letter to UN agencies from the global maritime transport industry <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

IMO, UNCTAD, WHO and ILO, writing on behalf of the International Chamber Shipping (ICS), advise that as the COVID-19 pandemic takes hold it is vital that all governments keep maritime trade moving by continuing to allow commercial ships access to ports worldwide and by facilitating the movement and rapid changeover of ships\u2019 crews. <\/span><\/p>\n

In particular, this means keeping the world\u2019s ports open for calls by visiting commercial ships, and facilitating crew changes and the movement of ships\u2019 crews with as few obstacles as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

UNCTAD – COVID-19 likely to cost economy $1 trillion during 2020<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe envisage a slowdown in the global economy to under two per cent for this year, and that will probably cost in the order of $1 trillion, compared with what people were forecasting back in September,\u201d said Richard Kozul-Wright, Director, Division on Globalization and Development Strategies at UNCTAD<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Launching the UNCTAD report as world financial markets tumbled over concerns about supply-chain interruptions from China, and oil price uncertainty among major producers, Mr. Kozul-Wright warned that few countries were likely to be left unscathed by the outbreak\u2019s financial ramifications.<\/span><\/p>\n

ECONOMIC IMPACT<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n


\nCoronavirus could shrink global FDI by 5% to 15%<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak could cause global foreign direct investment (FDI) to shrink by 5%-15%, according to an UNCTAD report published on 8 March. The UN trade body had projected earlier a stable level of global FDI inflows in 2020-2021 with a potential increase of 5%.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now it warns that flows may hit their lowest levels since the 2008-2009 financial crisis, should the epidemic continue throughout the year. COVID-19\u2019s negative impact on investments will be felt strongest in the automotive, airlines and energy industries<\/span><\/p>\n

Coronavirus wreaks havoc on retail supply chains globally<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Parcel volume fell 2.4% among manufacturing customers in February 2020 compared with a year ago, according to data pulled by ShipMatrix. Health-care parcel volume dropped 2.2%, it said. And parcel volume was down 1.8% in the automotive and auto-parts sector.<\/span><\/p>\n

Shoemaker Steve Madden<\/span><\/a>, with some of the biggest exposure, has said about 73% of its goods are sourced from China. For<\/span> Best Buy<\/span><\/a>, it is 60%. For online furniture company<\/span> Wayfair<\/span><\/a>, it is about 50% of goods. Each American Eagle<\/span><\/a>, Kohl\u2019s<\/span><\/a> and Calvin Klein owner PVH<\/span><\/a> source about 20% of goods from China.<\/span><\/p>\n

Air cargo set to take 9% demand hit due to coronavirus<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Figures from the data provider show that February\u2019s volumes were down 2% in February. However, adjusting the analyses for the fact that the Chinese New Year fell early this year (-3%) and the fact that February 2020 is a Leap Year, with an extra day over the same month a year ago (-4%), takes the overall decline to close to -9%. <\/span><\/p>\n

CLIVE\u2019s managing director, Niall van de Wouw, said: \u201cIt is our opinion that the near -9% decline in February is the best \u2018temperature reading\u2019 of the state of the global air cargo industry.<\/span><\/p>\n

Coronavirus outbreak has cost global value chains $50 billion in exports<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The slowdown of manufacturing in China due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak is disrupting world trade and could result in a $US50 billion decrease in exports across global value chains, according to estimates<\/span><\/a> published by UNCTAD on 4 March.<\/span><\/p>\n

In February, the country\u2019s manufacturing Purchasing Manager\u2019s Index (PMI) \u2013 a critical production index \u2013 fell by about 22 points to 37.5, the lowest reading since 2004. Such a drop in output implies a 2% reduction in exports on an annual basis.<\/span><\/p>\n

SEA FREIGHT<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Coronavirus could deliver<\/span><\/strong> 17 million-TEU blow to container shipping<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The impact on container shipping lines from the coronavirus pandemic could total about 17 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs), according to Lars Jensen<\/span><\/a>, CEO of Copenhagen-based SeaIntelligence Consulting. That amounts to about 10% of global volumes in a normal world, Jensen told wealth management firm UBS<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Earlier this month Jensen wrote in an online post that the \u201cthe situation is unprecedented\u201d but \u201cthere is one clear comparison: the financial crisis in 2008,\u201d when global container volumes dropped by 10%. If the same contraction rate occurs this year, \u201cthis equals a decline of 17 million TEU globally for container lines\u201d and ports and terminals could \u201cpotentially be looking at a loss of 80 million TEU of handling volume.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Ports feel coronavirus impact on global trade<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

California\u2019s Long Beach port handled $38bn in Chinese goods last year, but activity at the normally bustling harbour has more than halved from normal levels as the coronavirus outbreak spreads around the globe, according to harbour officials.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

Yangshan port in Shanghai has experienced similar declines. \u201cThe number of trucks coming in and out has dropped off by between 40-50 per cent,\u201d said one staff member. Please use the sharing tools found via the share button at the top or side of articles. Rotterdam, Europe\u2019s largest port and one of the world\u2019s busiest, saw traffic from China fall 20 per cent last week from a year earlier, according to Leon Willems, a port spokesman. About 470m tonnes of goods pass through Rotterdam each year. <\/span><\/p>\n

AIR FREIGHT<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n


\nCoronavirus flight shutdowns have hit cargo capacity, says IATA<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“Over 185,000 passenger flights have been cancelled since the end of January in response to government travel restrictions,” said IATA chief executive Alexandre de Juniac. “With this, vital cargo capacity has disappeared when it is most urgently needed in the fight against COVID-19.” While freighter aircraft have been mobilised to make up the shortfall, governments “must take urgent measures to ensure that vital supply lines remain open, efficient and effective”, he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

IATA<\/span><\/a> called on governments to exclude air cargo from travel restrictions, exempt cargo crew who do not interact with the public from quarantine requirements and remove parking fees and slot restrictions to free up air cargo operations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Aviation shutdown threatens vital global cargo<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

More than $6 trillion worth of goods are transported by air every year, according to Boeing (BA<\/span><\/a>). They’re often high-value and perishable goods that need to be delivered at speed, and many carriers use passenger planes to move the cargo.
\nThe industry group estimates that airlines will need up to $200 billion in government support if they are to survive the global travel shutdown caused by the coronavirus outbreak. Around 50% to 60% of all air freight travels in the hold of passenger planes, according to Zoe McLernon, policy manager at the UK’s Freight Transport Association, a trade group.<\/span><\/p>\n

RAIL AND ROAD FREIGHT<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n


\nEU urges members to allow freight despite virus controls<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

EU urges member states (16 March) to prevent bottlenecks forming at internal frontiers and to allow freight through despite reinforced health controls during the corona virus outbreak. Several EU member states have either closed borders with other members or imposed new health screening controls, leading to fears in Brussels that efforts to coordinate a response could fail. <\/span><\/p>\n

One idea being mooted is a separate lane for freight transport at road borders where health screening is holding up general traffic. <\/span><\/p>\n

AAR: \u201cIntermodal Likely to See Earliest Coronavirus Impacts\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIntermodal, rather than other rail sectors, is likely to see the earliest impacts from the coronavirus because large amounts of intermodal traffic go to or come from ports\u2014roughly half of U.S. intermodal is exports or imports,\u201d said AAR Senior Vice President John T. Gray.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gray was spot-on, as total U.S. weekly rail traffic for the week ended March 14, 2020, was 463,017 carloads and intermodal units, down 7.6% compared with the same week last year, according to figures released by the AAR. Total carloads for the week ended March 14 were 226,039 carloads, down 5.9% compared with the same week in 2019, while U.S. weekly intermodal volume was 236,978 containers and trailers, down 9.1% compared to 2019.<\/span><\/p>\n
