Evergreen rolls out sea freight services for Alibaba.com members

June 21, 2017 by

June 21, 2017 — Evergreen Line has teamed up with Alibaba.com, a leading wholesale marketplace for global trade under Alibaba Group, to provide Alibaba.com members with the option of booking sea freight services online with guaranteed space and prices. Evergreen Line has also appointed Evergreen Logistics Corporation as a designated provider of customized, comprehensive logistics solutions for Alibaba.com members opting for its sea freight services.

The growth of e-commerce has resulted in small, fragmented orders from global buyers. Taking note of the need for user-friendly logistics services of smaller volume shippers, Evergreen Line is collaborating with Alibaba.com to allow shippers to search for freight rates and reserve cargo space on the Alibaba.com platform directly, a service that will be available to primarily suppliers in China. Once a booking is confirmed, the selected price is also locked-in.  The rate will not alter regardless of how the market price changes. With a guarantee of space and price, shippers can keep their production lines running with assurance and control their logistics costs with confidence.

In addition to this new direct booking facility , Evergreen Line is also responding to the needs of smaller shippers for one-stop logistics services by appointing Evergreen Logistics as a supplier of such services for Alibaba.com suppliers opting for Evergreen Line’s sea freight services, contactable at the online booking point. No matter if it is a trucking arrangement, customs clearance or documentation requirement, Evergreen Logistics can provide cost-effective and time-critical solutions to shippers who may not be familiar with such procedures.

At this initial stage of its partnership with Alibaba.com, Evergreen Line will be offering Alibaba.com suppliers the booking facility on routes from China’s main ports to Israel and the South American region. Detailed ports and service routes are outlined below:

  • Israel Service

FEM

–     Port of Loading: Shekou, Yantian

–     Port of Discharge: Ashdod, Haifa at Israel

 

  • South America Service

ESA

TT Club announces robust financial results for 2016 and AM Best affirms A- (Excellent) rating

June 13, 2017 by

TT Club, the leading international transport and logistics insurance provider, today announces its financial results for the year ended 31 December 2016, and AM Best affirms its A- (Excellent) rating for the 11th consecutive year

Highlights:

  • $177.8 million gross earned premiums (2015: $172.0 million)
  • $5.2 million surplus (2015: $4.8 million)
  • Total assets of $613.0 million (2015: $618.1 million)
  • Total surplus and reserves $185.8 million (2015: $178.1 million)
  • AM Best affirms financial strength rating  as  A- (Excellent)
  • 2016 financial year combined ratio of 95.3% (2015: 94.4%)

In his inaugural report since taking over from Knud Pontoppidan in July 2016, new Chairman of TT Club Ulrich Kranich, said: “2016 will be a year that many of us remember for some time. The theme of recent years of an increasing number of factors causing instability around the world has continued, and shows little sign of abating. Set in this context, the stability in the Club’s performance is extremely welcome.”

“The Club retained its A- (Excellent) financial strength rating from AM Best for the 11th successive year and maintaining this rating is one of our main objectives. Financial performance was in line with the Board’s business plan and the financial year combined ratio – the main measure of operating performance – was within its target risk appetite. As a mutual, the Club’s finances are managed to produce a small surplus and to achieve this was therefore an entirely satisfactory result.”

“2016 was a good year for new business for the Club and as its Member retention rate continued at the very high levels of recent years, premium income was managed to satisfactory levels. Attritional claims in 2016 were as expected, however, and positively contrasted to 2015, large claims in 2016 were just below the long-term trend level. The main claim event in 2016 was the demise of Hanjin Shipping which led to claims on the Club from transport operators and container lessors.”

“Overall, the Club’s surplus and reserves grew by US$ 5 million in the year. Regulatory and solvency capital remained very strong in the year and is forecast to continue as such in 2017, and accordingly it is expected the Club will maintain its AM Best A- rating in 2017.”

Charles Fenton, Chief Executive of TT Club, added: “In enduringly trying economic circumstances, TT Club continues to perform strongly and retain its financially strong position and maintain its AM Best Excellent A- rating. As we continue to work towards keeping insurance costs down, we remain committed to working with members and brokers to maintain our loss prevention and service levels to sustain our position as (one of) the world’s leading provider(s) of international transport and logistics insurance.”

Mr Kranich also made a warm tribute to Mr Pontoppidan’s leadership of the Club which has significantly strengthened and as a result has been able to cope very well with difficult market conditions in both the insurance and global transport markets.

Hughes bullish on Club’s future, and that of the International Group

June 13, 2017 by

NEW YORK MARITIME INC. HOSTS ANNUAL MEETING OF MEMBERS.

AMERICAN CLUB’S JOE HUGHES DELIVERS KEYNOTE ADDRESS CELEBRATING CLUB’S CENTURY OF SERVICE TO THE GLOBAL SHIPPING COMMUThe American ClubNITY, EXEMPLIFYING NEW YORK’S OUTREACH TO THE WORLD.

New York, June 1, 2017 :  New York Maritime Inc. (NYMAR) recently hosted the annual meeting of its members in New York.  NYMAR represents the many maritime service related businesses in New York, and seeks to promote the city as a leading global maritime cluster.

The keynote speech at the meeting was delivered by Joe Hughes, chairman and CEO of the managers of the American Club and a director of NYMAR.  Entitled Celebrating the American Club’s Centennial: Reflecting on the past to gain perspectives for the future, his speech reviewed the first 100 years of American Club history and the changes in the P & I world which had taken place over the last 40 years; made predictions as to what the future might hold, both for P & I insurers in general and for the American Club itself; and assessed what the Club and its managers had learned from their experience of recent years, including what perspectives that experience had provided for the future.

Hughes’ address contained a positive message in regard to the future of both the International Group and the American Club.  In regard to the former he said:

“The International Group will maintain its basic shape; the cooperative deployment of Group resources will strengthen; there will be a growing emphasis on financial and risk modeling; Group market share will be maintained; regionalization of service delivery will expand; there will be continuing product diversification by the clubs; and specialist, fixed-premium insurers will continue to have a respectable role in the market.”

Hughes emphasized the importance of the American Club, and the development of its business globally over recent years, in promoting the New York maritime community.  This development had seen the Club not only becoming more international in its reach for membership, but also diversifying its product lines into the fixed premium P & I sector through Eagle Ocean Marine, and the market for hull insurance in the form of American Hellenic in Cyprus.  He commented:

“We are proud to fly the US flag as the only mutual P & I insurer domiciled in the Americas.  The Club’s future is a bright one, and its interests will continue to be pursued with energy over the years ahead.”

Looking back over his 40-year experience in the sector, Hughes noted the many changes which had taken place over the period since the late 1970s.  They were of both a quantitative and qualitative nature – the size of club retentions and pooling exposures, broker involvement, rating agency presence in the market, and the scale of reinsurance coverages being a few of the many areas of change to which he referred.

In considering the lessons learned from the development of the American Club over the previous 20 years, Hughes observed:

“Perseverance is the most basic resource upon which the American Club has relied in developing its position in the global market.  The decline of its traditional markets forced the Club to develop internationally.  This required hard work in taking an organization that was exclusively an American operation in decline to a confident player on the world stage.  But it had to be done for survival’s sake.”

Acknowledging the importance of New York as a dynamic maritime cluster, Hughes concluded by saying:

“As the American Club celebrates its centennial, let us equally celebrate the distinctions of its hometown of which it is proud to be centenarian daughter.  New York has always celebrated its strivers, and the American Club will continue to strive, in that worthy tradition, over the years to come, flying the flag of both the city of its birth and the nation of whose principles and deep entrepreneurial instincts it seeks to remain an example for all to see.”

 

Notes to Editors

The American Club

American Steamship Owners Mutual Protection and Indemnity Association, Inc. (the American Club) was established in New York in 1917. It is the only mutual Protection and Indemnity Club domiciled in the entire Americas and its headquarters are in New York, USA.

The American Club has been successful in recent years in building on its US heritage to create a truly international insurer with a global reach second-to-none in the industry. Day to day management of the American Club is provided by Shipowners Claims Bureau, Inc. also headquartered in New York.

The Club is able to provide local service for its members across all time zones, communicating in eleven languages, and has subsidiary offices located in London, Houston, Piraeus, Hong Kong and Shanghai, plus a worldwide network of correspondents.

The Club is a member of the International Group of P&I Clubs, a collective of thirteen mutuals which together provide Protection and Indemnity insurance for some 90% of all world shipping.

For more information, please visit the Club’s website http://www.american-club.com/
P&I Insurance

Protection and Indemnity insurance (commonly referred to as “P&I”) provides cover to shipowners and charterers against third-party liabilities encountered in their commercial operations; typical exposures include damage to cargo, pollution, death/injury or illness of passengers or crew or damage to docks and other installations.

Running in parallel with a ship’s hull and machinery cover, traditional P&I cover distinguishes itself from usual forms of marine insurance by being based on the not-for-profit principle of mutuality where Members of the Club are both the insurers and the assureds.

Evergreen Recognized for Corporate Governance Excellence for the Third Consecutive Year

June 13, 2017 by

May 24, 2017 – The Taiwan Stock Exchange (TWSE) recently announced the result of its third annual corporate governance evaluation of both listed and Over-The-Counter (OTC) companies in Taiwan.  Evergreen Marine Corporation (EMC) is ranked among the top 5% of all listed companies for the third year in a row and is the only shipping company recognized for such excellent performance. Honoring outstanding contributions in this realm, TWSE presented the award to EMC Executive Vice President Eric Hsieh at a ceremony which took place at the Taipei International Convention Center yesterday.

In line with global trends, the evaluation highlights the importance of corporate governance and requires both listed and OTC companies to disclose not only financial data but also non-fiscal information.  The KPIs included in this evaluation assess protection of shareholders’ rights; equitable treatment of shareholders; board composition and management; information transparency and corporate social responsibility.  This year a total of 843 listed and 653 OTC companies were appraised.  Among the listed companies, as few as 21 joined EMC in achieving a rank in the top 5% for the third consecutive year.

In order to fulfil the requirements to attain a high standard of corporate governance, EMC invited senior accountants and lawyer to join the company’s board as independent directors, calling upon their expertise to strengthen the board’s managing and supervising functions. With regard to information transparency, EMC publishes an annual corporate social responsibility (CSR) report in addition to financial statements. The report enables EMC’s stakeholders, including investors, customers and service partners to understand the implementation of the company’s policies related to corporate social responsibility, business integrity, competition compliance and the comprehensive welfare of its employees.

Evergreen Group founder and chairman Dr. Y.F. Chang once said, “The ultimate goal of an enterprise is to contribute to the well-being of human life and to give back to society.”  EMC adheres to this philosophy, applying it in practice through support of various charities and social well-being activities.

In 2016 EMC continued in its efforts to sponsor charitable activities that illustrate the company’s commitment to this philosophy.  During the aftermath of an earthquake near Tainan City in southern Taiwan, EMC supported the relief efforts of Chang Yung-Fa Foundation, the charity foundation of Evergreen Group named in honor of its founder.  In addition, EMC also offered aid for the care of a Search and Rescue (SAR) dog injured in the line of duty; supporting its training and the equipment needs for future rescue missions.

Through other charitable activities, EMC donated servers and personal computers to schools in the mountainous Hsinchu County to enhance their online education capabilities.  Furthermore, EMC continues to work with Chang Yung-Fa Foundation to promote maritime education in rural areas of Taiwan, encouraging poor students to pursue a maritime career in order to help improve their families’ financial conditions.

Together with other ship owners of Evergreen Group, EMC establishes a policy which safeguards sustainable environment for the earth.  Designed in 2003, Evergreen’s award-winning S-type eco-ships demonstrated its forward-looking initiatives to protect the oceans with stringent standards set above the requirements of international regulations. Delivered from 2012 onwards, the carrier’s L-type containerships featured even more advanced technologies to enhance their environmental protection capabilities.  Commencing in the third quarter of 2017, Evergreen will take delivery of its B-type newbuildings, which are equipped with innovative Sea-Sword Bow technology to reduce fuel consumption and emissions.

In addition to its efforts to optimize vessel design, Evergreen has also been putting sustainable concepts into practice, such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions in port communities by voluntary speed reduction. Some preventative actions can have multiple benefits, slow steaming for instance not only reduces fuel consumption and emissions but also lowers the risk of whale collisions with ships. In 2016 Evergreen has also been honored with an environmental protection award by the Port Authority of Los Angeles for voluntarily cooperating in a vessel speed reduction program, contributing to cleaner air on shore and whale conservation in the Santa Barbara Channel region. Full details of Evergreen’s initiatives to mitigate its carbon footprint are available on the ‘Environmental Guardian’ section of Evergreen Line’s website.

Implementation of corporate governance policies has become an important global trend among responsible companies.  In harmony with striving for enhanced profitability, many enterprises now also see their roles as guardians of social welfare and environmental protection.  As a strategic partner for shippers around the world, Evergreen is committed to facilitating world trade and, while continuing with its obligation to create profit, it is committed to improve the welfare of its employees and give back to society as a whole.
