It is consisting the transfer of volumes of goods from the aerial transport to the marine transport



If the total volume of the goods airlift is growing, even if with a moderated rate of increase, meanwhile the aerocargo it is losing traffic quotas that are moving to the marine transport. The last data on the aerial transport of the goods I am diffused by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) indicate that last March the volumes have grown of +5.9% regarding March 2013 in terms of transported tons kilometer and that in the first three months of the 2014 transport to aeromere to us has recorded a progression of +4.4% on the correspondent period last year.

However the IATA has evidenced that, even if these data show a meaningful improvement of the volumes, great part of the increase has taken place in the last trimester of 2013, with an increase that has been advanced to the habitual increase of the year-end volumes, while from the beginning of the 2014 volumes of aerial transport they have been substantially plates. "The markets Cargo - it has explained Tony Tyler, general manager and CEO of the IATA - have recorded an increment in the last trimester of 2013, but now they have stabilized. Draft of a competitive field that anticipates an increase of the ability that is confronted with a weak person asks. The economic cycle - Tyler has confirmed - will end in order to oscillate towards the high, but the industry of the aerial transport - it has emphasized - has also need to perfect own value proposition if it will want to attract increase when the markets will improve. The modernization of infrastructures and the procedures of aerial transport of the goods offers the possibility to reduce the times of transport end-to-end until 48 hours. We cannot afford - it has concluded Tyler - than the stasis of the market you make us to renounce to this essential competitive advantage".

The IATA has remembered that in the 40 next years to the introduction of the 747 Cargo the time of transport end-to-end of the goods for aerial way has remained unchanged to six or seven days and that last March, in occasion of the World Cargo Symposium, the responsible Cargo of the IATA, DES Vertannes, has invited the field to reduce the time of air shipments end-to-end to 48 hours within 2020 to the aim to improve the competitiveness and the added value of the transport to aeromere to us.

In such occasion the IATA has introduced a study realized with the collaboration of the society
of Seabury advising that finds as the aerial transport of the goods has lost an important market share that has been acquired from the marine transport. In particular, in the 2013 transport to aeromere to us has represented 1.7% about of the total containerized transport (in terms of tons), losing beyond a point percentage in the course of last the 13 years. Moreover in the period the 2000-2013 volume of the goods airlift has recorded an increment of +2.6%, while that transported for marine way has grown of +7.4%.

According to the study, the volume of containerized trade for aerial way, than in 2013 is piled to 19,5 million tons, quickly has a decrease of 5,4 million tons about in last the 13 years because of the loss of a quota traffic in favor of the marine transport, for a annual loss pairs to about 413 thousand tons. The decrease of the quota traffic of aeromere is determined by the transfer to the marine transport of volumes of raw materials (- 1,20 million tons in the arc of the 13 years), of producing perishable (- 1,07 million tons to us), of fashionable articles (- 638 thousand tonn), of producing high tech (- 532 thousand tonn), of pieces of machinery (- 502 thousand tonn), of capital goods (- 452 thousand tonn), of consumer goods (- 385 thousand tonn), of producing of the automotive industry (- 348 thousand tonn) and of chemicals (- 234 thousand tonn).
