E-Seal test Project Myawaddy Trade Zone - Ma yan Chaung Myawaddy Trade Zone
What are the factors to be considered to make it a successful scheme? Opportunities for Trailer Swapping Scheme Increasing volume of importation into Myanmar Infrastructure (roads) in Myanmar under improvement New bridge connecting Myawaddy-Maesot, Friendship bridge 2 to be constructed by the end of 2017 Congested ports in Yangon Road restriction for trucks in Yangon only allowed to drive during specified time (nighttime) Threats for Trailer Swapping Scheme Insurance of Foreign (Thai) prime movers, semi-trailers and containers Myanmar Insurance to accept such insurance service Expansion of Thilawa Ports by the end of 2018 MACCS not applied for customs clearance at border
What are the factors to be considered to make it a successful scheme? Strengths of Trailer Swapping Scheme No manual trans loading means reduced time (no need to carry cargoes and no need to do lashing again) less risk for the cargoes being damaged or degraded better health and safety (less risk of workers getting injuries) Less lead time (less than 3 days after pick-up in Bangkok and delivery in Yangon) Weakness of Trailer Swapping Scheme Not cost effective for low density cargo (high volume & low weight) Require export cargoes for competitive trucking cost (Yangon-Myawaddy) No Back Cargo.
Final Words What have we learnt? - What next? What have we learnt from the project No issues with this scheme at Myawaddy customs proven project & smooth operation Waiting to cross Friendship bridge takes longer than expected 4 hours No need to do customs inspection at Myawaddy side so the cargo was released very fast at the border If Thai prime movers can be insured under Myanmar Insurance, the new scheme will attract more Thai trucking companies and help the scheme to be commercialized. What are the actual advantages of Trailer Swapping Scheme? Compared to sea shipment, the lead time is considerably reduced (by around.80%) Compared to trucking trans loading shipment, the quality of cargo can be maintained (under controlled condition)
Final Words What have we learnt? - What next? What cargo would you carry with this new scheme? No trans loading means the cargo can be stored in a container under controlled condition (temperature, humidity etc) It is containerized so the volume that can be transported is fixed. For this reason, this scheme is not beneficial for low density cargo (high volume, low weight) Assuming above 2 characteristics of the scheme, refrigerated cargoes or cargoes which require short lead time will benefit from the Trailer Swapping Scheme.
