demurrageSource: A. Hartrodt - Jens Roemer - 14/06/19

Demurrage and detention charges in container shipping: Current developments appear unreasonable and contradictory to ensure an efficient and economic maritime supply chain.

Demurrage and detention charges have been widely used in container shipping. Demurrage refers to the charge that the merchant pays for the use of the container within the terminal beyond the free time period. Detention refers to the charge that the merchant pays for the use of the container outside of the terminal or depot, beyond the free time period.

Containers are either owned or are leased by shipping lines who provide them to their customers (shippers or merchants) for the safe and fast door to door transport of their goods. Because the cost for using the container during the door to door transport is included in the freight, it is essential for shipping lines to turn around their containers as fast as possible. As a result and with the objective to encourage merchants to move or return their containers swiftly, shipping lines discourage merchants who exceed the free time by charging demurrage and detention fees.

rare elements and usesSource: Geology.com – Hobart M. King, Ph.D., RPG – 04/06/19

The demand for rare earth elements has grown rapidly, but their occurrence in minable deposits is limited. Rare Earth Element Production: This chart shows a history of rare earth element production, in metric tons of rare earth oxide equivalent, between 1950 and 2017. It clearly shows the United States' entry into the market in the mid-1960s when color television exploded demand. When China began selling rare earths at very low prices in the late 1980s and early 1990s, mines in the United States were forced to close because they could no longer make a profit. When China cut exports in 2010, rare earth prices skyrocketed. That motivated new production in the United States, Australia, Russia, Thailand, Malaysia, and other countries. In 2016, rare earth production in the United States stopped as the only remaining mine was put on care and maintenance.

ERP (Enterprice Resource Planning) software can be a daunting (and expensive) process, one that requires long hours of research and deep pockets. The most popular ERP systems often provide more than what’s necessary for non-enterprise organizations, with advanced functionality relevant to only the most technically savvy users. Thankfully, there are a number of free and open source ERP solutions out there. Some of these solutions are offered by vendors looking to eventually sell you on their enterprise product, and others are maintained and operated by a community of developers looking to democratize ERP.
In this article we will examine free and open source ERP software, first by providing a brief overview of what to expect and also with short blurbs about each of the currently available options in the space. This is the most complete and up-to-date directory on the web.

china vs USSource: ESC – Katsiaryna Kliuyeva – 21/05/19

A quarter of European companies with activities in China say that they are affected by the trade dispute between China and the US. This is according to a new report from the European Chamber of Commerce in Beijing. According to Charlotte Roule, director of the European Chamber of Commerce, the trade war between China and the US leaves negative effects. She says that some European companies are even considering relocating their factories away from China, but not the majority yet.
