EPISODE TWELVE
Shipping Briefs

Having come to an agreement upon the prices and the terms of payment, the parties moved on 1о the next item of the agenda. They started to discuss the best possible way of transporting the goods from the USA to Russia.

John Boden: 1t was not by chance that the prices I gave you were quoted c.i.f. Helsinki. We have been trading with the Nordic countries for several years. The trade flow was so intense that we decided to build our own warehouse near Helsinki. I think

- we can use this warehouse to our advantage.

Dmitry. Helsinki is an exceptionally good location. You can reach Norway, the Baltic countries and Rus­sia in а matter of hours. Helsinki and St. Peters­burg are less than 500 km. away.

John Boden: Oh, yes. We pride ourselves on fast delivery.

То achieve this, we use different modes of trans­portation. Dynaleam has had considerable experi­ence in sending goods by sea, rail and road. With Sweden we use а land option. То customers in Estonia we deliver goods by ferry.

Din игу: Do you ever send goods by air?

John Bode,,: Yes, of course. If the question of speed is impor­tant, goods go by air. Usually, air freight is much faster and more expensive. But sometimes you may find that the total cost of sending goods by air is less than the cost of surface freight.

Dmitry: You must be kidding.

John Boden: No, I am not. When а shipment is delivered by air, you don't have to pay as much for packing and documentation as you до when goods are delivered by sea.

Dmitry: Yes, I see а11 the advantages. It saves time, the buyer gets the goods quicker and can sell them quicker, but I don't think we can afford it now.

iiitaly: The best solution for us is to arrange transporta­tion from Helsinki to 5t. Petersburg by lorries. We have established close contacts with three transportation companies. I'11 contact them and ask them for an estimate to deliver the merchandise to us. And I need to know how our goods will be packed.

John Boden: T-shirts are packed in strong polythene bags to ensure protection from damp and put in cardbo­ard boxes. The size of the boxes may vary. The most common for а land option is 65 cm wide, 110 cm high and 55 cm long. Our experience tells us that this is а safe and the most economi­cal way to pack this kind of goods. When you receive the first lot, you let us know whether the packing seems adequate. But, Fm sure there will be no damage.

vitaly: I hope so, but in case anything happens, we are covered against а11 risks.

John Boden: We normally purchase all risk insurance, which covers nearly а11 risks.

Dmitry: Nearlly а11?

John Boden: It does not cover loss or damage caused by war. Nor does а11 risk insurance cover losses caused by strikes, riots, or civil commotion.

Dmitry: Does the insurance cover late arrival?

John Boden: No, it does not. But don't worry. The ocean line, which services we use, sails on а regular schedule. As you know, scheduled lines are more reliable than nonscheduled ones. I must tell we are more than satisfied with our insurance company.

Vitaly: You have not told us how it is called yet?

John Boden: Noramco. They are great experts. When we started export operations, we knew very little about export packing. Noramco advised us how to pack goods for shipment by sea.
