What type of Goods:

• Coal and ore -> transported to industrial areas
• Fertilized -> to agricultural areas
• Grain -> from agricultural areas
• Feed product -> to livestock farming areas.
Network of navigable waterway

• The Rhine
+ Main artery of Western Europe
+ Most important river for goods transport via inland shipping
+ Navigable length – approximately 850 km.
7
Network of navigable waterway (cont’)

• Presence of natural waterways and canals
• Most country accesible by inland shipping
• Continuosly being improved (deepening, lock and flood-gate construction)
• Netherlands -> centre of waterway system
• Belgium -> Extend to South of France
• German canal -> Extend to Poland
• Western Europe -> transfer points.

Locks and other obstacles in inland shipping Natural obstacles
(cont)
+ Floating ice
• Natural obstacles

+ Water level before
 Crucial to effective use of waterways  Ice breaker
 Low water level  Increased engine capacity
 High water level + Storm, fogs
 Ice  Not impact much to the course
 Rhine river – available via telephone or  Radar installations -> sail under foggy
teletext conditions

• Vietnam is one of the 10 countries with the most dense river, canal
system in the world
• 2.360 rivers, canals
• Total length is 198.000km,
• 41.900km can be used for inland waterway transport activities

78
CHAPTER 5: DETERMINATION OF FREIGHT CHARGES FOR INLAND WATERWAY TRANSPORT
AGREEMENTS/CONVENTIONS OF FREIGHT
CHARGES organizations in inland shipping
International
• EINU – European Inland Navigation
• ESO – European Skippers Organization
• CCR – Central Committee for Rhine Shipping
• IAR – Labor Organization for Rhine Shipping
Inland shipping companies
• Standard shipping companies – use their own ships and constitute a single large entity in the market
• Working shipping companies – specifically carry goods for industrial businesses
One-man business vs. Shipping companies
• Advantage of one-man business
+ Low price compared with shipping companies
+ Lower wage cost
+ Overhead cost much lower
79
AGREEMENTS/CONVENTIONS OF FREIGHT
CHARGES
Disadvantage of one-man business
+ No land-based operation -> find cargo by themselves
+ Impacted considerably during little cargo period – long waiting period between voyages
+ Impossible to offer clients security of carriage
Co-operatives in Inland Shipping

• Make ship available to the co-operatives
• Remains owner of the ship
• Acquisition of cargo arranged centrally
• Possible to take over transport operations
• Security of carriage
• Strengthen ship owner’s market position
Parties involved in Inland Shipping

• Shipper
• Forwarder • Carrier
• Ship charterer • Broker
80
HOW FREIGH TAGE IS

CALCULATED?
Transporting goods via inland shipping
1. The types of goods that are to be transported
• Loose bulk cargo, packaged unit, large inseparable pieces
• Conditions of transportation
2. The annual volumes
• Frequency
• Possibility of return cargo
3. Is haulage to and from the terminal required?
• Are there good storage facilities?
• Can the government subsidy for “connecting waterways” be utilized?
4. Ship size
• Maximum dimensions
• Draught – height at loading/discharging points – on the route
5. How quickly can the cargo be loaded and discharged?
6. What is the total sailing time?
7. Additional costs
81
HOW FREIGH TAGE IS

CALCULATED?
Determinants of freight and surcharges
• Freightage per ton or lump sum payment
• The duration of the loading and discharge times
• High and low tide surcharges
• Surcharges for ice, level of watermark and the ship being stranded
Freight account
• Collect freightage – after discharging
• Cash – bank transfer
• Charterer’s commission – VAT
• Demurrage
Ascertain Weights of Goods
• Not enough cargo – deduct no more than 2 ½ % from freightage
• Calculation for cargo loaded/discharged – done by certified draught surveyor
• Tanker – tonnage agent
• Freightage – based on volume of cargo discharged.
82
CASE STUDY
Mekong Delta is one of biggest

agricultural resource of Vietnam,
discuss and propose How to provide
logistical services in Mekong Delta
area with ASEAN logistics integration
context.
