GSF GLOBAL LOGISTICS 2019 Australia hands the baton to the UK
The Global Shippers Forum (GSF) is the world's leading trade association for shippers (importers and exporters) engaged in international trade.
The Australian Peak Shippers Association (APSA) is a long-standing member of the GSF and together with Freight & Trade Alliance (FTA) and ICHCA Australia, hosted the highly successful GSF and ICHCA International Annual General Meeting (AGM) and Conference in Melbourne in May 2018 attracting 350 delegates including a broad international representation.
At that AGM, Travis Brooks-Garrett (APSA Secretariat and FTA Director) accepted an invitation and was later ratified as a GSF Board Director.
At the conclusion of the AGM and conference we proudly handed the baton to another "FTA" (the United Kingdom's "Freight Transport Association") who will be hosting the 2019 conference in central London from Monday 16 to Thursday 19 September ... read more |

| 11.6.2019 LIENS WORK – DEBT RECOVERY FOR FREIGHT FORWARDERS AND CUSTOMS BROKERS |
|
Often I receive debt recovery calls from freight forwarders for small amounts and my advice is often the same "we can pursue the debt, but you will probably spend more on us then what you are owed by the debtor." One of those cases where the only winner would be the lawyer.
In reality, the most efficient and effective debt collection strategy a freight forwarder can employ is a contractual right to exercise a lien over goods. ... read more |

FINANCE REPORT
Weekly Market Commentary
US Markets remained static after recovering from early losses. Fears surrounding growing tensions in the Middle East, as Oil Tankers are under attack from what looks to be the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, raising risk levels in markets. This boosted the safe haven currencies of the USD and to a lesser extent, the Yen. The EUR retraced to 1.1200, while the GBP fell sharply to 1.2580, pre-occupied with the Prime Ministerial elections. US Retail Sales were steady and Manufacturing and Industrial Production remains strong. The US economy remains powerful and the rising risk sentiment, that is boosting the Dollar, also reflects the global currency wars underway. Central Banks are engaged in 'Quantitative Easing', with rate cuts and increased liquidity injections. All eyes now move towards the two day FOMC meeting and to a lessor extent, Bank of England and Bank of Japan. The market has priced in a 86.3% chance of a Fed rate cut, which has driven equity markets higher, but be prepared for the Fed to forgo the opportunity. This would surprise markets and may cause a sharp correction in equity markets. ... read more
