New ITF report on "Maritime subsidies": FEPORT calls for more transparency and a review of the Maritime State Aid Guidel
FEPORT who represents the private port companies and terminals performing cargo handling activities in EU ports welcomes the publication of ITF OECD report on "Maritime subsidies" as it sheds light on a number of taxation practices which are not included in the last version Maritime State Aid Guidelines (2011).
According to the ITF Report, some taxation practices which have been cleared by DG Competition through individual decisions have not been incorporated in the General framework, i.e. Maritime State Aid Guidelines.
Not less than 10 (ten) decisions (pag. 54) have modified the scope of eligibility of the tonnage tax to include loading/unloading or cargo handling services offered by shipping lines as ancillary services to maritime transport.
Private port companies and terminals performing cargo handling activities in EU ports do not benefit from any tax exemptions. They are therefore very concerned to discover that, since 1996, the scope of eligibility to the tonnage tax has been modified at the expense of terminal operators.
"Cargo handling operations are not ancillary services, but activities performed by economic undertakings paying taxes in the EU and employing more than 390 000 port workers" commented FEPORT president, Mr Gunther Bonz.
"FEPORT calls for a review of the Maritime State Aid Guidelines to have the opportunity to comment on the taxation practices that have been authorized through individual decisions without a thorough assessment of the impact on independent cargo handling operators" added Mr Bonz.
"For the sake of transparency, equality of treatment and level playing field, it is essential to include maritime transport in the fitness check exercise that concerns a whole range of industries. Public consultations remain the best way to clarify the rules and guarantee an equality of treatment of all industries" continued Mr Bonz.
"The review of the Consortia BER has been a good example on how a sectoral instrument can impact well beyond the beneficiary industry. Once again, we realize that individual decisions on tonnage tax schemes are granting a competitive advantage to some shipping lines offering cargo handling services at the expense of independent terminals. It is crucial that this changes quickly as it is a significant source of distortion of competition" concluded FEPORT President.
FEPORT will carefully analyse the content of the report and share in the coming weeks its concerns and proposals with relevant institutional stakeholders.

Sohar facilitates 15 years of continued economic growth in Oman
Over the course of 2018, Sohar Port and Freezone witnessed an increase in capacity as well as land area at the port. The reason behind the growth was the expansion of Sohar Port South, wherein 50 hectares of land was added in the first phase. Subsequent phases will see the addition of a further 200 hectares to the current capacity of 2,000 hectares.
The additional land area will significantly boost the ability of Sohar to handle greater volumes of cargo traffic and simultaneously make new and sustainable jobs opportunities.
The agreement for the development of the first phase of Sohar Port South was signed with Dredging International NV earlier this year. This development will lead to a rise in trade flows to the Sultanate of Oman, encourage shipping lines to make more direct calls to the port, opening the doors of opportunity to a larger group of potential customers in the upcoming years.
The increase in businesses plays a significant role in port development. The number of cargo volumes directly tie in with the various investments that are currently present at Sohar Port and Freezone.
The free zone hosts a multitude of companies not only from Oman but also from the GCC, the Indian subcontinent, Asia and Europe. The companies have proficiency in the industrial and logistics sectors, establishing a competitive advantage in Sohar by utilising the benefits of lower operating costs, energy-saving systems, a one-stop-shop and quick and easy land lease options.
New developments
Sohar saw several developments in the past year. The collaboration with Mannesmann saw the creation of Calcined Petroleum Coke (CPC) and Recarburizer Calcined Coke (RPC) plants. This will add value to both the aluminium and steel industries within Sohar.
Additionally, in a significant effort to tap into Oman s renewable energy potential, Sohar entered into a land lease agreement with Shell Development Oman (SDO) in collaboration with Shell New Energies.
The agreement will see the provision of clean energy solutions through the facilitation of solar photovoltaic (PV) projects, to meet the energy demands of industrial tenants within Sohar Freezone.
The agreement with Marafi Sohar for the creation and operation of a new high-capacity mineral aggregate terminal at the port is expected to generate more market opportunities.
Sohar Navigate provides a complete overview of the most efficient routes via Sohar by deep-sea and feeder connections.
Apart from showing the optimum transport routes, the platform displays the transit time and a list of potential logistics companies and partners. Sohar Navigate offers companies in the supply chain a smarter way to use container transportation.
Oman is experiencing solid growth in the food logistics sector and e-commerce. Therefore, the rapid development of transportation infrastructure and demand for modern warehouses equipped with IT are the key drivers behind influencing the growth of the industry.
Sohar offers businesses an excellent location to set up shop and invest. As always, the motto of Sohar - It all starts here - ensures that it continually looks out for new and innovative solutions, including initiatives for further development and growth. And these are for the benefit of everyone in and around Sohar.
SOHAR Port anticipates potential business opportunities
With several developmental plans underway, including future projects, Sohar Port and Freezone continues to seek possibilities for growth and expansion. In line with this principle, Sohar is now looking forward to leasing out their Terminal 2D.
The sizable land area was initially developed in 2009 as a container terminal expansion but this has now been dedicated to businesses involved in the logistics and metal sectors. The waterfront location hosts an area of 100 hectares with easy access to cool water and the surrounding industrial clusters.
Commenting on the potential of Terminal 2D, Mark Geilenkirchen, CEO of Sohar Port and Freezone (pictured) says, "Sohar is strategically positioned at the centre of global possibilities, and has a consumer reach of more than 2.2 billion across Africa, Asia and the Middle East.
"Potential customers are generally based outside Oman, so we aim to garner as many opportunities as possible to support them in setting up operations at Sohar. Additionally, with the help of our one-stop-shop facility and the benefits we offer, investors will receive a favourable return on investment."
Strategically located by the sea, the waterfront location of Terminal 2D is perfect for businesses looking to take advantage of the deep-water facilities and the accessibility of logistic services surrounding Sohar Port and Freezone. "With several regional ports currently running out of space, Sohar still has the capacity to further expand and attract prospective investments," Geilenkirchen explains.
"Clustering is an innovative form of business. Therefore, the close proximity to our petrochemical, logistics and food clusters will also support the creation of upstream and downstream opportunities for further business developments."

Singapore and Panama Ink MoU to Strengthen Maritime Relations
Dr Lam Pin Min, Senior Minister of State for Transport and Senior Minister of State for Health of the Republic of Singapore led the first high-level delegation from Singapore to Panama under the new government of Panama. Dr Lam met with several ministers of the government of Panama, as well as leaders of the business community. He was accompanied by Mrs Mary Seet-Cheng, Non-Resident Ambassador of Singapore to Panama, as well as officials from the Ministry of Transport, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) and Enterprise Singapore.
During the visit, Ms Quah Ley Hoon, Chief Executive of MPA, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Mr Noriel Arauz, Minister of Maritime Affairs and Administrator of the Panama Maritime Authority (AMP) to strengthen maritime relations between both countries today. Dr Lam and Mr Alejandro Ferrer, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Panama witnessed the signing of the MoU.
Ms Quah Ley Hoon, Chief Executive of MPA, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Mr Noriel Arauz, Minister of Maritime Affairs and Administrator of the Panama Maritime Authority (AMP) to strengthen maritime relations between both countries.
Under this MoU, the maritime authorities of Panama and Singapore will cooperate on maritime matters including the promotion of the use and acceptance of ship s electronic certificates to facilitate port state inspections, the exercise of port state control (PSC) inspections [1] by both countries, as well as personnel exchange.
Singapore and Panama are the top five ship registries in the world. Vessels registered with either Panama or Singapore calling at each other s ports will benefit from faster checks and clearances. The use of electronic certificates and cooperation on PSC reduces administrative burden of issuing, sending and keeping hard-copy certificates on board, facilitates regulatory oversight and enforcement action by the authorities and expedites port clearances.
Dr Lam said, "The Singapore and Panama ship registries are among the largest in the world. This cooperation will strengthen maritime relations between our two countries. It will also yield significant benefits through speedier port clearances for vessels registered with our two countries calling at our ports."

Germany: Marshall Islands-Flagged Bulker Violated Environmental Regulation
Authorities in Germany have found that a Marshall Islands-flagged bulk carrier violated the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL).
On September 18, 2019, the water police in Stade inspected the unnamed bulker at the Port of Stade on the River Elbe.
The officers checked, among other things, the ship s compliance with MARPOL annexes.
While examining the vessel s Oil Record Book, the water police discovered that, over a period of six months, there were no plausible operational procedures for fuel processing and dealing with oil and combustion residues.
Specifically, many obligatory records were not maintained at all.
The captain and the chief engineer of the ship are held responsible for the matter, according to the water police.
After consultations with the relevant Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency of Germany (BSH), the water police ordered a security provision of about EUR 7,000 (USD 7,772).

NYK Wraps Up Japan s First Carbon-Neutral Voyage
Shipping major NYK has undertaken Japan’s first carbon-neutral voyage by offsetting 5,000 tons of CO2.
The amount is equivalent to the CO2 emitted by NYK’s environmental flagship car carrier Aries Leader during one voyage between Japan and the Middle East.
The vessel is equipped with the latest energy-saving technologies, reducing CO2 emissions per unit by 30% compared with existing large pure car carriers, according to the company.
"This initiative demonstrates the ability of NYK to provide carbon-neutral transportation to its Japanese and overseas customers, thus meeting the demand for a more sustainable, carbon-free supply chain.
"NYK will propose and expand its carbon offsets to customers as an option that benefits the environment and contributes to a zero-carbon-footprint supply chain."
The company will continue its efforts to make new green businesses through carbon credit initiatives and realize its basic philosophy of "Bringing value to life".
