The Brazilian grain harvest regarding to crop 2017/2018 has begun. The Expectancy is to hit a sum of 223, millions of tons, with emphasis on soyabean seeds, predictions to reach 112,3 millions of tons. Our law office is focused in this market.

Soyabean shipment is a complex operation services and has its own procedures, as from the data entry of export documents in Siscomex system(Customs), cargoes storage and conveying to the vessels holds must be checked by technicians, surveyors and the assesment of others skilled stakeholders.

Most of complaints usualy are stemmed from soyabeans loading into vessel´s holds. And are related to the cargo temperature and moisture during and after loading. P&I clubs are recommending the cargo temperature during the loading operations around 25 and 30º C with and average moisture contente 11.5 or less in order to avoid cargo damage (self-heating, caking ) and future claims by the importerers. As per displayed in site:  http://www.nepia.com/media/435711/LP-Briefing-Soya-Beans-Cargo-Damage-Claims-June-2016.PDF

They are also instructing their members to verify the “quality certificates”which state the cargoes specifities and to collect, if posible, some samples of soyabean, in spite of the bill of lading stress the remarks” received on board in apparent good order and conditions”. They are trying to avoid any quarrel by the consignees in the destination ports.

China is the main importer of Brazilian soyabean and the disputes related to cargoes damages has increased in Chinese courts. Bearing in mind that transit time Brazil to Chinese ports is around 40 days. Carriers must take all security procedures on loading and during the long Voyage to Chinese ports.

AMUSING BUSINESS DINNER

AMUSING BUSINESS DINNER

Last week I was pleased to meet again and  have a dinner with my former partner and his family. Among several discussions he recalled the second and last travel we made to Greece and Italy to canvass new business contracts with ship owners and managers.

At that time we found a brazilian colleague in a coffee bar in Piraeus a beautifull and pleasant city, less crowded that Athens city. whence, we have had an opportunity to meet a vessel´s superintendente acccompanied by the brazilian guy, which, in turn unveiled to us an urgente demand by one of the vessels managed by his company with several technical pending issues by the port state control(PSC) in Brazil.

Most part of these pendencies, should be solved out before the ship leaves the Brazilian ports and cleared by the vessels class society. So, next day morning we went to the companys office. How surprise were for the luxury and refinement of the company, located at Glyfada, Athens.

After we talked about services procedures and others technical threads, helped by our technicians team in Brazil, we have conclude the deal with uptake and satisfatory results  for both side. So, the vessel´s superintendent flew to Brazil to oversee the services. Of course we had luck, but along with an skilled and technical team that supported us.

Another important meeting was recalled, it held in Marina di Carrara, Italy. There, we deal an important services contract with a shipowner, whose vessel was in regular services line, calling  three brazilian ports and three foreign ports. The contract refered to the replacement of trackway bar alongside vessel´s holds.

We faced many hindrances with this servces, diffrent from planned. the services  only could be carried out when vessel was berthed and sometimes stevedores did no permit the accomplishing of the services because the welding sparks that fallen  into vessel´s hold. As a result the jobs should only be run when there was no loading or discharge operations happening.

Unfortunately, we have had no time enought to conclude the whole Job. Once that vessel was delivered in time chater for another Charterers and they have changed her route to others ports abroad. Therefore, the learnship and expertise acquired was superb in  risk management.

Afterr all, I decided to quit my partnership in the ships repairs company to dedicate myself body and soul to my other passion, the advocacy. But... I still have a broker ships repairs office, where I can develop my old passion, smoothly.

In summary, today we have an amazing technology support as AI, Big Data, robotics, IoT and others importante devices. The Linkedin platform is an excelente tool to find new opportunites, enhance networks, looking for a job, changing  job, undertake a new business, whatever be.

However,do not forget one important tip: the personal visit, a handshake, eye to eye is still a big difference when closing a new contract.

Cheers for all

UMA MOEDA PARA O BARQUEIRO - II

UMA MOEDA PARA O BARQUEIRO - II

Partindo de aparente cognição ao pensamento da geração “Z” percebe-se que a ênfase é a polarização. Se por um lado sobra entusiasmo para mudar o mundo, por outro, sobeja o pessimismo e o desapontamento.

Os encantos do mundo digital, assistidos pela tecnologia da informação com todas as suas ferramentas de inovação, tem produzidos nesta geração uma espécie de religião virtual. Onde não há espaço e tempo impondo limites. Todos buscam a verdade para cada um, correm juntos, mas os interesses são difusos, produzindo uma sensação de realidade líquida, disforme, conforme palavras do sociólogo, polonês Zygmunt Bauman em seu livro “modernidade Líquida”.

Se comparamos os ensinamentos de Aristóteles, temos que; os indivíduos eram educados nos melhores princípios éticos e morais, além do conhecimento científico, para serem bons e qualificados cidadãos, capazes de praticar belas ações. Estas ações, com o tempo, reverteriam em favor da coletividade. Portanto, quanto mais os indivíduos se destacavam, mais a comunidade partilhava de tais atividades resultantes.

A grosso modo, citamos como exemplo os executivos de wall street, não pretendemos arrazoar aqui se são lobos ou cordeiros. Fato é que se dedicam de corpo e alma a trabalharem e fazerem fortunas. Mais tarde, na aposentadoria se destinam a filantropia ou a política. Pois grande parte da equipe econômica do presidente Trump e também dos anteriores, são oriundas de grandes conglomerados financeiros, como JP Morgan Chase, Goldman  Sachs, Morgan Stanley e outros.

Em resumo,  será que o pragmatismo desta geração no intuito de criar uma disrupção com alguns princípios já conquistados pela sociedade ao longo do tempo, que certamente carecem de um “upgrade”, é verdade, mas que não devem ser suplantados, não estaríamos diante de um apelo ao que podemos chamar, niilismo virtual, negando o já estabelecido?

Se assim o for, esforcemo-nos para que tudo dê certo, pois é uma travessia insólita rumo a um mundo novo e desconhecido.  Na mitologia grega, o responsável por realizar esta travessia era Caronte ( o barqueiro)[i]. Nesta era de pós modernidade, quem será o responsável por esta travessia, e você já separou a sua moeda??
