Toshiba Electronics Europe Selects ModusLink’s Solution Center in Brno, Czech Republic to Provide Content Loading Services for Flash Memory Products

November 19, 2012 by

ModusLink’s content delivery solution well positioned for new and growing market opportunity

WALTHAM, Mass.—Nov. 19, 2012—ModusLink Global Solutions™ Inc. (NASDAQ: MLNK) today announced Toshiba Electronics Europe GmbH (TEE), the European electronic components business of Toshiba Corporation, has selected ModusLink’s solution center in Brno, Czech Republic to provide on-demand configuration capabilities. TEE has certified the solution center and will be leveraging ModusLink’s content delivery solution to meet its customers’ requirements for pre-loaded flash memory devices.

The evolution of mobile computing technology, in particular the proliferation of tablets and smartphones, is changing how people use technology to access information and stay connected. Gartner recently forecasted worldwide media tablet sales to grow to 118.9 million units in 2012, a 98 percent increase over 2011 sales¹. These devices, as well as many of the ultrabooks on the market today, don’t have standard CD/DVD drives but do have USB ports and SD slots. Offering recovery media and other large-file software pre-loaded onto SD and microSD cards or USB drives gives consumers a viable back-up option and allows for situations where wireless downloads of software may not be practical.

“ModusLink has the configuration capabilities, infrastructure and global footprint needed to effectively deliver a true on-demand content solution at a critical time in the advancement of mobile and tablet technology,” said Naoyoshi Hosoda, vice president, Toshiba Electronics Europe. “With our pre-loaded media devices, we can provide consumers with the same secure access to content and software they have come to expect with conventional computing platforms.”

Pre-loaded flash media can be leveraged for an array of products including consumer electronics, software and other digital content, medical devices and automobile navigation systems. A number of companies in these varied industries are utilizing this service today to meet their pre-load requirements.

“We expect the number of devices without optical drives to increase in the coming years as additional industries embrace mobile and wireless technology and the need for solutions like Toshiba’s will grow,” said Tom Nightingale, president, sales and marketing, ModusLink. “We’re seeing this already; the use of in-vehicle navigation systems that function best with regular map updates is one such example. By enabling a demand-driven solution for customers requiring flash media with pre-loaded content, both Toshiba Electronics Europe and ModusLink are well positioned to meet the needs of this rapidly growing market opportunity.”

November 15, 2012 by

Kempten/Port Elizabeth, 15 November 2012. Dachser South Africa, the local organization of the internationally operating logistics provider, recently opened a fourth branch office in Port Elizabeth, extending an established network of South African offices in Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town.

“This office has been in the pipeline for some time, driven by expanding opportunities in the Eastern Cape,” says Detlev Duve, managing director of Dachser South Africa. According to Duve, Dachser plans to harness the opportunities brought by the continuous growth in the logistics industry in the Eastern Cape since the inception of the Port of Ngqura, also known as Coega.

“It was important to us to offer our customers in particular in the automotive industry a transport solution and a connection to our global logistics network from Port Elizabeth to the rest of South Africa,” Thomas Reuter, managing director Dachser Air & Sea Logistics, explains.

Harold Thomas has been appointed manager of the Port Elizabeth branch office. With over 30 years of experience in the freight industry, Thomas will lead a team of highly skilled staff recruited from the Port Elizabeth area. “Dachser South Africa is committed to employing and training local staff. Job creation is and will continue to be important to us particularly given the high level of unemployment in the region,” says Duve.

About Dachser:

In 2011, the internationally operating logistics provider, Dachser (www.dachser.com), generated total revenue of EUR 4.3 billion. 21,000 staff working in 315 profit centres worldwide handled 49.3 million consignments weighing a total of 37.1 million tonnes.

Young International Freight Forwarder of the Year: ‘And the winner is…….’

October 22, 2012 by

The Award, sponsored by TT Club, the leading provider of international freight transport insurance, has been won this year by Daniel Terbille of South Africa.

22 October, 2012

Daniel Terbille, one of four regional finalists who presented their papers to the judges at FIATA’s Annual Conference, received his award from TT Club’s EMEA Regional Director, Andrew Kemp. “It was a difficult decision to pick an overall winner” said Kemp “however Daniel prevailed and deservedly takes this year’s award”.

The award is presented in recognition of forwarding excellence and was established by FIATA with the support of TT Club to encourage the development of quality training in the industry and to reward young talent with additional valuable training opportunities. The TT Club has been a sponsor of the award since its inception and is firmly committed to the importance of individual training and development within the global freight forwarding community.

The Award Steering Committee strives to make the challenge appealing to a greater number of candidates and allow them to call on their day-to-day experiences when working for a range of organisations, whether it’s a small customs agent or a multi-national operator.

This year’s candidates were set the task of examining the multimodal movement of a key import or export relevant to their country of operation.  Extra marks were awarded based on the complexity of the cargo matter, mode of transport, routing, regulatory issues faced, plus any cross-border issues such as customs regulations and/or bonds involved.

The four regional winning dissertations produced concerned diverse cargoes such as glass fibre mesh machines; concrete beams; electrical test and calibration units; 39 kilometres of coated carbon steel pipes; pressure valves and oversize heavy machinery as well as fabric and finished high-fashion clothing.

In addition to Daniel, who represents FIATA’s Africa and Middle East region, the other finalists were: Salman Ali (Canada) representing the Americas, Chris Yabsley (Australia) from the Asia Pacific region, and Nadine Baumgarten (Germany) representing Europe,.

Speaking at the award ceremony, TT Club’s Andrew Kemp, said, “We are proud to have been able to continue our sponsorship of this prestigious award, now in its fourteenth year. This year’s awards proved to be the most successful so far in terms of attracting candidates from across the globe. The calibre of the dissertations and presentations were of the usual exceptional standard and it was clear that a lot of research, planning and hard work had gone into their preparation.”

THE SHIPOWNERS’ CLUB PEGS PREMIUM RISE TO 5% IN FACE OF GROWING CLAIMS

October 15, 2012 by

A developing trend in the number and quantum of higher value claims has led the smaller tonnage specialist the Shipowners’ Club to announce a general increase in premiums of 5% from 20th February 2013.

12th October 2012

In its half-yearly report published today, Shipowners highlights the continuing growth in the Club.  This is a reflection of fleet growth and the purchase of extended cover by existing Members, and the addition of new Members throughout the six month period. Despite there being no general increase for the current year, earned premiums for the period are up by 4.4% compared with 2011 and entered tonnage is up by a similar percentage (4.3%).

This growth has been carefully controlled and the performance for the period has remained strong with an underwriting surplus of USD 9.8 million representing a combined ratio of 90%.

The Club’s investment strategy is providing satisfactory results with both bond and equity portfolio returns ahead of expectations and a total return on investments of USD 6.1 million.  This has contributed to an overall surplus for the six months of USD 15.6 million, increasing free reserves to USD 250.4 million.

However, a trend which began in 2011 is evolving more strongly in 2012.  Once fully developed, it is anticipated that the 2011 claims position will show a 10% increase in the cost of claims per ton as compared to 2010. This trend has continued through the first half of the current year with claims in the higher value range (USD 1 million to USD 5 million) increasing significantly in frequency against  the same period in 2011.

This pattern of claims makes it necessary to impose a general increase of 5% on premiums at the next renewal to ensure that the Club’s strong operating performance continues in 2013.

Commenting on these results, Shipowners’ Chief Executive, Charles Hume said, “While we are happy to see the continued growth in the Club as indicated by increases in both earned income and tonnage, we must also react to the trend of rising claims.  In addition to our own retained claims we must anticipate an increase in the cost of our reinsurance programme and the Directors have therefore decided that there should be a 5% increase in premiums, which will include any additional reinsurance cost.

“We appreciate that operating conditions remain difficult for many of our Members but we must ensure that the Club’s premium income and claims remain in balance.  We are confident that our Members will recognise the importance of maintaining the Club’s financial security into the future,” concluded Hume.

Priority Freight Confirms Commitment to Polish Market

October 10, 2012 by

Priority Freight, the leading logistics service provider specialising in time critical deliveries across Europe, has announced the establishment of its local business entity in Poland, Priority Freight Sp z.o.o.

Dover, UK & Wroclaw, Poland 09 October, 2012

Having been active in the Polish market for some three years, Priority Freight is now underlining its commitment to the service of established and potential customers by investing in a Polish business entity based in the region of Lower Silesia in Wroclaw.  The move is also part of the Company’s on-going strategy of expansion in Europe designed to strengthen its service offering to the industrial sectors in which the primary demand for time critical transport occurs: automotive, aviation/aerospace, energy and pharmaceuticals.

“In order to most efficiently fulfill the demands of our customers’ increasingly complex and vulnerable supply chains throughout Europe, we are continuing our programme of establishing our own offices in critical locations,” explained Priority Freight Group Managing Director, Neal Williams.  “Wroclaw’s location means that it is well situated to serve the growing Polish automotive supply sector.  Poland is now one of the leading producers of auto parts in Europe and is experiencing consistent economic growth despite the current global recession.  The new office complements our existing bases in the UK and Germany and will be critical in managing our expanding network of transport service providers.”

Priority Freight has a no-nonsense approach to its customers’ emergency freight transport needs.  It emphasises careful planning, where possible, meticulous attention to detail in considering alternative solutions to a given challenge and hands-on attention to a shipment’s progress at every stage of its transit.  Utilising its experienced staff of dedicated, multi-lingual professionals to communicate closely with clients about their delivery timings and related costs, Priority Freight prides itself on engineering the most suitable ‘mode-mix’ in any given situation to achieve a successful time sensitive delivery.

Operations Manager Poland, Arek Kowalewski will lead the Priority Freight team in Wroclaw.   Arek has career experience in both the automotive and aerospace sectors, which he believes is essential in managing the nuances of the supply chain demands unique to those industries.  He comments, “In the time critical niche of logistics service provision, intimate knowledge of the particular characteristics of a customer’s business model is very important.  Priority Freight’s staff in Poland, as is the case throughout the Company, are constantly aware of the customers’ goals and service parameters which they apply to each and every shipment.”
