Intensity is experienced in large ports that host sea lines from As ⁇ ya ⁇ to Avrupa ⁇

It has passed approximately 24 thousand ge ⁇ mi since 2023 ⁇ from the Suez Canal and therefore Kızılde ⁇ niz ⁇ . 12-13 percent of world trade, 20-25 percent of world container traffic, about 10 percent of marine oil and 8 percent of liquefied natural gas reach their addresses through Red Sea crossings.

According to the news of Necmi Çelik ⁇ in from Dünya ⁇ dan, the effort to strengthen stocks for the rest of the year by taking into account the disruptions in the supply chain of global retailers and manufacturers further increases the pressure on logistics routes. While the Red Sea crisis has significantly disrupted global maritime traffic and trade, this difficult situation is expected to continue for a long time. The picture becomes clearer when it is thought that sea freights, which are at 1,390 do ⁇ s in October 2023, have tripled since January 2024 ⁇ .

Difficulties will linger for a long time

On the other hand, in the traffic from Asya ⁇ to Av ⁇ rupa ⁇ , there is a great density in important ports, especially Singapore, which is on the Cape of Good Hope route. While the density of important ports increases with China's Shanghai, Singapore Port, the second largest container port in the world, is witnessing the most congested period of the last 20 months.

Difficulties will linger for a long time

On the other hand, in the traffic from Asya ⁇ to Av ⁇ rupa ⁇ , there is a great density in important ports, especially Singapore, which is on the Cape of Good Hope route. While the density of important ports increases with China's Shanghai, Singapore Port, the second largest container port in the world, is witnessing the most congested period of the last 20 months.

It is stated that more than 90 percent of the container ships could not reach the ports at the times they were targeted, serious disruptions occurred in the handling and the number of ships anchored in the ports and waiting for their turn increased. It is pointed out that the demand for containers has also increased significantly due to delays in loading and unloading.

The risk of this situation being reflected in the large ports of Europe such as Hamburg, Roterdam, Fe ⁇ lixstowe, Antwerp and Bre ⁇ men ⁇ e is also a concern. The official of one of the leading ⁇ man on this route, ⁇ These difficulties seem to remain on our agenda for a long time. Potentially, we expect the congestion observed in ports to expand from As ⁇ ya ⁇ to Avrupa ⁇ ⁇ .

⁇ SHORT-TERM AGREEMENTS SHOULD BE MADE ⁇

Hakan Arı ⁇ kan, Turkey Executive Board Member of TruK ⁇ Ker ⁇ ın, one of the leading companies in the logistics sector and Director of Europe & CIS Omnilog Ge ⁇ nel, shows a downward trend in road freight in 2024 regarding the developments in freight markets. As TruKKer, we offer monthly and quarterly escalation rates to support both our suppliers and our customers. Due to the fluctuations in freight, we recommend shorter and medium-term agreements instead of long-term agreements.

⁇ NEW CHALLENGES CAN LIVE ⁇

Stating that significant developments were experienced in maritime freight markets throughout 2024 and that they closely followed the process, Hakan Arıkan made the following evaluation; The effects of global economic recovery, supply chain transformations and energy transition, which started to manifest itself but saw its biggest effects, directly affected the demands of our customers and the costs of transportation works in all models.

Political uncertainties, trade policies and embargoes in the world are continuing to seriously affect freight prices and routes on sea routes. Tensions, especially in strategic areas, are an important factor affecting the costs and costs of maritime transport. ⁇ (translated)

RED VOLTAGE INCREASE REQUEST FOR AIR CARGO

Emphasizing that in addition to the demand created by the e-commerce sector, the tension in Kızıl ⁇ deniz ⁇ also brought ha ⁇ vayolu transportation to the front platform, Globelink Ünimar Executive Director Fatih Baş, with the effect of ⁇ Ge ⁇ rilimin, the vast majority of ships using this route changed their route and turned to different transportation alternatives. Havayo ⁇ lu transportation is a very effective method to deal with such difficulties, but the high costs and limited load carrying capacities compared to other transportation methods bring some disadvantages.

While paying attention to the increase in air transportation, Fatih Baş emphasized that air transportation, which was less demanding before the Red Sea crisis, was a critical solution in the search for alternative transportation. ⁇ Especially, the rapid growth of e-tica ⁇ ret has created new dynamics in the logistics sector.

Those who wanted their cargo to arrive quickly and safely were effective in increasing the demand for air transportation instead of other transportation alternatives. In addition, the recent crises and increasing finances have led many companies to seek more flexible and faster logistics solutions.He said it.

⁇ TRANSIT TIMES DRAMATICALLY ARTTI ⁇

Hakan Arıkan pointed out that the negative effects of the current crises in Kızıldeniz ⁇ on the transportation sector created uncertainty in the sector and said the following;

Due to the crises in the Red Sea, there are serious increases in transportation costs and delivery times are delayed. Transit times have increased dramatically due to the alternating return to the Ka ⁇ nal crossings on the sea route and the formation of new routes as the Cape of Good Hope. As TruKKer, we are constantly developing routes so that our customers can continue their trade without being affected by these negativities with our experienced team, which also uses intermodal transportation methods along with land, sea and air. Especially for commercial transports with time sensitivity, we offer boutique seaway solutions with local shipowners for road alternative or regular loads.

Logistics becomes more complex, the need for strong contracts increases

As the transportation sector in Turkey transforms into the logistics sector and takes a more active role in international trade, business processes become more complex. In addition to the innovations brought by intermodal transportation, which includes sea, road and railway, digitalization and technological developments also expand the scope of legal contracts in the logistics sector and require new definitions.

Logistics becomes more complex, the need for strong contracts increases

Complex processes lead to an increase in legal disputes in both internal and external logistics activities. Another area of legal problem focuses on contracts between companies and heavy vehicle drivers. Increases in compensation-generating transactions also increase the demand for well-defined legal contracts in the logistics and transportation sector. While disruptions occur in business processes due to poorly prepared contracts, grievous consequences arise for all parties. In addition to transported loads, more complex insurance models are also on the agenda in vehicle and driver insurance.

In this respect, the effort to minimize possible legal disputes between the insurance sector and the logistics sector in contracts and policies is also gaining importance. Based on all these needs, the International Transporters Association (UND) has prepared a comprehensive study including case studies and standard contract examples to guide both the transportation sector and its members.

It's been a 10-year book.

With this important study, which was signed on the 54th anniversary of the establishment of the International Transporters Association, ⁇ The Transporter's Bedside Book ⁇ was carried out to inform the sector companies in the face of legal situations and to provide resources to the sector stakeholders on controversial issues, especially contracts.

The book, which is described as a product of 10 years of experience and prepared by lawyers who are experts in their fields, includes what the carriers will do in the legal situations they encounter; There are also examples of contracts, instructions and minutes. This study aims to prevent legal disputes that may arise at every stage of logistics and transportation activities to member organizations and to shed light on new contracts.

There are also examples of contracts

Stating that the member companies of the International Transporters Association carry out transportation to more than 70 countries, the UND President said the following about the book; We all face problems in the countries we go to.

Unfortunately, we lack information on what to do in legal matters. We have prepared this work called The Transporter's Bedside Book so that UND members have it at hand when they need it. In this book, our carriers will be able to find the contract samples they need within the framework of their daily operations and use them in their activities by adapting them to their business models.

In this book, which will provide maximum benefit to our sector and respond to current needs, UND President Aras stated that the Bedside Book of the Carrier was created by lawyers who are experts in their fields and stated that; Our industry needs CMR & TCC (Turkish Commercial Code), Customs and Smuggling Law, Labor Law, Insurance Responsibilities, KVKK and including but not limited to all contracts, instructions, minutes and practical information notes including their implementation, he said.

There are practical information and case studies in the book

With the Bedside Book of the Carrier, it is aimed to provide practical information, especially in the land transportation sector. Example contracts, documents, minutes, including the employer ⁇ employee relations process, the procurement in foreign trade, the transportation of goods including loading, unloading, the customs clearance process, the storage process and the insurance process are included in the book. It is aimed to easily understand why, how and by whom these documents will be issued. The book contains visuals and/or examples of contracts and all kinds of information and documents. Practical knowledge gained from applications rather than academic knowledge is handled in a simple way.

The search for multiple solutions in logistics cost clamp continues

Since production costs in the global economy do not show great differences today, price competition is also moving away from being an element that strengthens the exporter's hand. It is a well-known fact that logistics services, strategies and cost elements have become more important in terms of competing in global trade. Logistics bases are seen as an important leverage in terms of being close to export markets and providing competitive advantage. As a matter of fact, logistics companies have accelerated their warehouse investments, especially in Europe. The Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure's project to open 6 logistics bases abroad also seems to have gained momentum.

4 ⁇ of the bases called Turkey, Foreign Logistics Distribution Networks (YDL) are planned to be established in Europe and 2 ⁇ in the USA.

In the geography where Turkey is located, transportation routes and trade routes are changing with the effects of political crises, wars and sanctions. In such a conjuncture, the main goal is to increase the competitiveness of exporters and logistics companies together.

The data we received from the sector representatives indicate that logistical capabilities in external transportation increased by 15 percent to 25 percent according to the regions, with the effect of changing routes. At a time when delivery times have increased by 25-30 days due to the Red Sea crisis, Turkey is trying to turn the logistics advantage in trade between the Far East and Europe in favor of trade corridors.

New Ro-Ro lines and port investments needed

On the other hand, the more effective use of multiple transport models in foreign trade transportation offers exporters the advantage of delivering products to the targeted points quickly as well as the cost.

The expansion of Ro-Ro and Ro-La combined transportation in multi-transport, called combined or intermo ⁇ dal, is among the most important expectations of the logistics sector. Increasing the number of Ro-Ro lines and the number of countries that can be reached with Ro-Ro will be a development in line with these expectations.

In this way, exporting organizations and logistics companies will benefit from Ro-Ro services at more competitive prices. In achieving this goal, the development of port infrastructure and superstructures suitable for Ro-Ro transportation, the speeding up of the railway connections of the ports by public hands are expressed as the priority expectations of the logistics and foreign trade sectors.

The International Transporters Association (UND), the most important professional organization in road transport, argues the following view by underlining that exports should be increased by an average of 10 percent every year in order to reach the export targets of 575 billion dollars of goods and services targeted for 2028; ⁇ Effective logistics services, which have increased our country by 9 places in the Global Logistics Performance Index in the last few years, need to be regulated and bureaucracy at border crossings should be reduced.

Activation of logistics infrastructures and maximum digitization of processes are also very important. In addition, by feeding the tax facilities that will increase the competitiveness of our logistics companies with investment support and incentives, we can ultimately pave the way for our exporters to reach the close and distant target markets faster and more affordable than their competitors. We still have the opportunity to achieve our targets for 2028. ⁇

Ares Logistics Strategy and Business Development Director Yiğit Şenbağ: Increasing costs create pressure

In addition to the current challenges of the logistics sector, it is a known fact that in recent years it has also faced problems such as driver procurement, equipment ⁇ fuel costs, and Schengen Visa, which are in a constant trend of increase. As Ares Logistics, we continue our investments including abroad in order to provide sustainable service to exporters. We produce solutions that provide cost advantages with different route preferences and combined transportation types. The extra costs caused by current conditions also reduce the profitability rates of logistics companies. Investments in extra vehicles, drivers, equipment and technological infrastructure have become plans to overcome the contraction in the market and increase competition.

Talay Logistics General Manager and Board Member Mehmet Yiğit Altıparmak: Long-term planning and collaborations are important

We provide as low cost as possible with the long-term plans and collaborations we have made. We make agreements such as block train, ship commitment in advance. So in a sense, we can say that we win when we buy. This allows us to offer our customers ambitious low costs. One of the most important factors for our producers to hold on to foreign markets is that such advantages can be offered to them.

We try to minimize costs by combining factors such as the right agreements, strong connections and industry experience in the best way.

General Manager of Almark Logistics Onur Güvenler: It's not easy to optimize costs

Currently, I can say that logistics companies have difficulty in optimizing costs. At such times, it is seen that some companies stop their activities and some go on the way of merger with company marriages. Strategies such as consolidation and load optimization, alternative modes of transportation, technological investments, supply chain optimization, risk management and collaboration with global networks help logistics companies to offer their customers an advantage despite increasing costs. As Almark Logistics, we provide our exporters with advantages such as speed and efficiency, storage and inventory management, cost efficiency, security and traceability, technological infrastructure and innovation, 24/7 support.
