Far East peak season soars for ACS

PR Log (Press Release) – Nov 30, 2009 – Air Charter Service’s Hong Kong office has flourished in a peak season that, to many, has come as a pleasant surprise. Freight volumes moving on charters have dramatically increased since early October.
Stephen Fernandez, cargo manager ACS Hong Kong, explains: “We started receiving enquiries in the middle of September, but it wasn’t until early October that they started booking the flights and the market really picked up. There was, all of a sudden, a lack of availability on B747s. At first most of the freight travelled trans-Pacific over to the States, and then the European market also saw increased demand. However in the last week or so the U.S. has got a little bit quieter in the run-up to Thanksgiving, but that’s to be expected”.
After last year’s distinct lack of peak season in the run-up to Christmas, and the general doom and gloom regarding the economy this year, this boom has come as a refreshing change.
Fernandez isn’t getting carried away though: “One theory is that this is a bit of a ‘faux’ peak season created by capacity that has been taken out of the market by airlines parking up some of their fleets. Still, it’s fuelled by demand, which can only be a good thing. How much this resurgent demand is galvanised by fewer aircraft is hard to say though”.
Air Charter Service has had a record year in 2009, both in number of charters, and in revenue. Their offerings of cargo charters, private jet charter and commercial airliner charter, along with the opening of three new offices in Paris, Johannesburg and Tokyo have played their part in this year’s success.

Geographic Information System (GIS) Market in Transportation Sector

PR Log (Press Release) – Nov 30, 2009 – Geographic Information System (GIS) Market in Transportation Sector 2008-2012
A Geographic Information System/Spatial Information Management (GIS) is a collection of software and geographic data for capturing, managing, analyzing, and displaying all forms of geographically referenced information. In a conservative sense, it is a computer system that is capable of integrating, storing, editing, analyzing, sharing, and displaying geographically referenced information. In a more generic sense, GIS is a tool that allows users to create interactive queries (user-created searches), analyze the spatial information, edit data and maps, and present the results of all these operations. ( http://www.bharatbook.com/detail.asp?id=126661&rt=Geogra ... )
GIS, as an information integration tool, has a wide range of application. The possibility of integrating spatial and alphanumeric data has made it widely applicable to a variety of fields. Recently, there has been a growing interest among organizations to use GIS to enhance the decision making processes, at both strategic as well as operational levels. GIS addresses many information needs of the decision makers. It helps them leverage their spatial data more efficiently, by visually bringing together relationships among customers, suppliers, and competitors.
GIS systems have been widely accepted in the transportation industry since its inception in this sector during the late 1980s. During last few years, GIS has emerged and matured to a sophisticated technology and is now applied to a wide range of transportation research and development projects. The main advantages of a GIS for transportation (GIS-T) are quick access and precise analysis of data, distributed across the transportation network. GIS software can rapidly retrieve relevant information from various sources, such as traffic flow, land use, environmental and socioeconomic databases, etc., that can be useful for the transportation industry.
One of the key market trends of GIS in the transportation market includes ‘Geographic Data Mining and Pattern Analysis’ (search of patterns in geo-databases). It will become more important in the transportation sector, as information regarding traffic congestion and space-time correlation become available through Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) and Location Based Services (LBS). Conventional GIS tools are not effective in handling massive and complex spatial, and temporal linkages in the transportation and land use systems. Geographic Data Mining will help in determining relationships such as effect of a crash on traffic, or traffic pattern on a newly constructed highway, etc.
The report forecasts the size of the Geographic Information System (GIS) market in the transportation industry over the period 2008-2012. It segments the GIS market into various geographic regions (representing the market size for each of these regions). Further, it discusses the various GIS categories, key market trends, drivers and challenges of the Geographic Information System (GIS) market in the transportation industry, and profiles some of the key vendors of this industry.

Money Saving Green Shipping Made Easy with CPS Smart RateBots

PRLog (Press Release) – Nov 18, 2009 – Harvey Software continues its support of Green initiatives with the introduction of Smart RateBots™ in its flagship Computerized Parcel System (CPS™) shipping software.  Smart RateBots make the Green choice at the best price, which reduces any size company's carbon footprint and saves money as they ship orders.  Real-time, best-price control of time-guaranteed carrier services with Smart RateBots means the Green choice is the smart choice.
Even though a carrier's standard, ground service may guarantee delivery in one or two days, many companies only consider express services when a date definite delivery is requested.  Express service often includes air transportation as part of its delivery process.  Whenever ground transportation can be utilized for the entire delivery trip, the package creates a smaller carbon footprint and greener delivery route.  Smart RateBots make this best, green choice automatically.
"We developed our CPS RateBots to price shop carrier services so our customers receive the most value for their shipping dollars over a geographic area," said Mr. Bert Hamilton, Harvey Software President and CEO.  "In the short time since Smart RateBots were released, they have already proven to not only find the least expensive shipping option, but at the same time make a better Green choice for environmentally sensitive companies of any size.  In fact, it is estimated that Smart RateBots can reduce the environmental impact of shipping by as much as 20% as they process packages with real-time, best price control of time-guaranteed carrier services," Mr. Hamilton continued.  "We are proud to make the addition of Smart RateBots to our line as they reinforce Harvey Software’s dedication towards finding shipping methods that lessen the impact of business on our environment while saving money," Mr. Hamilton explained.  "We are very excited to continue on with our efforts." Mr. Hamilton concluded.

IIMS Brings Professional Marine Surveying to Middle East’s Maritime and Transport Sector

PRLog (Press Release) – Nov 16, 2009 – DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES - The International Institute of Marine Surveying (IIMS), the largest independent marine surveying organisation in the world, has landed on Middle East shores and opened its first chapter in this region in Dubai with Captain Zarir S. Irani as its Regional Director. The Dubai branch will be the focal point of contact for the GCC marine industry. To kickstart its operations, IIMS will be organising its inaugural ‘Marine Insurance and Claims’ seminar at the SP Jain Centre of Management in Dubai Academic City on the 6th and 7th of December 2009.
The upcoming conference on “Marine Insurance & Claims” covers all aspects of marine surveying for hulls and machinery, cargo and small craft, with a diverse and highly experienced array of speakers and delegates coming from around the world to this first seminar in Dubai.  It will bring together marine specialists, encourage a lively debate and discussion and provide a networking opportunity between international insurance companies and their brokers, salvage experts, Protection and Indemnity Clubs, marine lawyers, marine surveyors, government policy makers and ship owners.
Mr. John Lawrence, CEO, IIMS-UK says, “With increased problems around the world, marine surveyors are playing a bigger role than ever before - whether it is in pure surveying like pre-purchase surveys and condition surveys, or even more specialised subjects like accident investigation, fraud and loss. The opening of the IIMS Dubai Chapter will provide GCC’s marine surveyors and other marine specialists with a forum to debate and discuss current problems and issues. With the objective of bringing professionalism and integrity to the industry and uplifting the quality of surveying and marine consultancy, the body will impart ongoing education, training and international input to its members as well as work closely with government policy decision makers”.
Capt. Zarir S. Irani, Regional Director-Middle East, IIMS says, “The UAE is a busy hub for  marine activities as a large volume of vessels enter its waters on a daily basis or transit through.  Fujairah is one of the main bunkering and storing hubs and the Persian Gulf is where most of the world’s energy requirements are exported. As such, a very high level of consultancy, surveying expertise and on-the-spot assistance is needed, and is indeed a challenge. This is where the industry can draw upon the strengths of IIMS with its large network of international members and huge pool of knowledge. So far, government bodies in the region, port athourities and the local Oil and Gas sector have indicated very positive support and interest in association with us which is indeed very encouraging”.
Delegates attending the ‘Marine Insurance and Claims’ can get a deep insight into the industry including interesting information on various facets of Maritime claims and Insurance industry or professional insights into how a Harbour Master works, or what is the future for marine surveyors, why do boats corrode, or the operational and legal elements of a salvage operation. and much more.
