NOW in its fourth decade, The Offshore
Europe Oil & Gas Conference & Exhibition
(OE 2009) takes place in Aberdeen, Scotland
and attracts approx 30,000 industry visitors
and 1600 suppliers; a global audience of
engineers, technical specialists, industry
leaders and experts, project owners and
mangers, to share ideas, debate the issues of
the moment and to create common agendas
for the future of the upstream industry. OE
2009 is where the E&P community meets
to find the solutions required to keep up
with an accelerating technology race and
understand the demands of a changing
industry committed to ensuring security
of supply in an increasingly complex
world. The OE offers an unprecedented
international meeting place for debate and
knowledge sharing to examine solutions,
maximize recovery, extend field life,
improve operations and best practice levels
in a safe and sustainable manner. The global
profile and relevance of the conference is
highlighted this year with countries such
as China taking three pavilions, with new
pavilions also from Spain and Western
Australia, as well as others from countries
who have previously participated such as the
United States, Norway, Germany, France,
Canada, Italy, Denmark, Belgium and
Northern Australia. International delegations
are also lined up to visit the show from
important international markets including
Brazil, Russia, North and West Africa and
the Middle East. As such, it is one of the
strongest markets for suppliers and service
providers to the E&P community available.

Charles Kendall’s one-stop solution
ADVERTISING FEATURE
2
The Charles Kendall
Group has built an
enviable reputation for
high-quality, customerfocused service. Now,
with the Group’s
constituent services
integrated into a onestop supply chain
shop, the company is
moving from strengthto-strength.
AS shippers become more
demanding, regarding the
quality and cost-effectiveness of
their supply chain management,
independent forwarders are
moving into a new sphere of
integrated solutions.
INTEGRATION
British-owned Charles
Kendall Group is spearheading
these changes as managing
director Peter Sunderland
of Charles Kendall Freight,
explains: “We have positioned
ourselves as a supply chain
management company,
rather than a standard freight
forwarder, with strong frontend procurement. We are
a stable company you can
trust, delivering a full-range of
global supply chain solutions,
which are customer-driven and
bespoke to their needs.”
Vertically-integrating a range
of products and solutions,
including procurement, logistics,
packing, consultancy, customs
compliance, exhibitions, military
logistics and project services,
has allowed the company
to position itself to win new
business.
“It’s no secret that overall
freight volumes are down in
these difficult times. Our main
ocean exports to the USA have
certainly been affected,” says
Murray Frew, general manager
ocean exports. “Yet having
completed the integration of
procurement and packing into a
single solution for the customer
we have strengthened our
performance. Crucially, service
is still a priority for customers.
If you establish a reliable
reputation for quality with
shippers – if you get it right with
these companies – then they
will retain your services. Thanks
to the complete supply chain
solutions we now offer we have
upped our conversion rate for
enquiries to around 60 per cent.”
PROCUREMENT
The procurement part of
the business has always been
important to Charles Kendall,
providing services to both public
and private companies, and the
new integrated structure adds
additional value to the service.
“We can ensure closer control
of costs in the supply chain
as we can also warehouse,
SOLUTION: A good example of CK’s integrated solutions was
this £4 million precision tooling machine that was packed by
Bestworld, before being shipped by Charles Kendall Freight
pack and distribute goods as a
seamless service. We can also
provide consultancy services as
a core competency, including
compliance,” says Sunderland.
PACKING
The integration of Bestworld
Packing, CK’s wholly-owned
leading export packing
company, has added a new
dimension to the company’s
portfolio. “The most successful
projects have been combined
with our packing and shipping
services. Having a packing
service under the umbrella
of the company has provided
one-stop solutions that many
customers have utilised and
found to be a big advantage,”
explains Frew. The packing
service now also includes both
dangerous goods and military/
section 5 cargoes.
Project cargo has been a
boom area for CK in the last 18
months as Frew explains: “We
have focussed hard on project
work, we have been pushing
project shipments and we are
well above budget. It has been
a big contributor to our success
this year. The majority of our
project work is ocean freight
and this can be combined with
our packing division to add
extra value. We have, however,
also coordinated a number of
airfreight project shipments,
including charters to the Middle
East.”
PROJECTS NETWORK
CK’s gains in project
cargo have been aided by its
membership of the WCA Family
Projects Network. According
to Frew, “becoming a member
of the Projects Network has
helped boost our presence in
this segment. We offer doorto-door services across the
world and membership has
helped us identify like-minded
quality companies to provide the
perfect solution for customers”.
“The Project Network has
been a major help over the last
12-18 months. We have also
been handling enquiries for
other members, especially for
US business. This has been
self-generating in terms of new
business for us. There is the
right mix of agents in the Project
Network with only one or two
in each country. This ensures
WCA FAMILY PROJECT NEWS
the quality of partners is high
and we can build a rapport
with these guys. We have
always found that long-term
relationships work better as a
business model. The vetting
system for joining the Project
Network is comprehensive and
helps maintain standards.”
SECTOR SPECIALISTS
Other sectors of the business
have also benefitted from
the vertical integration. “In
the last couple of years we
have concentrated on specific
industry sectors. We have
added value to our military and
exhibition specialist services
that have reaped dividends. We
now have a very strong military
business through our Redcliffe
brand. This is demonstrated by
the fact that we temporarily lost
a contract on price to a major
multinational. However they
could not match our level of
service and we soon won the
contract back,” said Sunderland.
Now with the company
providing a global transportation
service from five locations in the
SUNDERLAND: We are a
global player that provides
global supply chain solutions
UK, three in the Middle East and
two in Hong Kong and China, as
well as a representative office
in India, the company is well
placed to expand its worldwide
presence. “We are a global player
that provides global solutions.
We deliver specific solutions
for every customer, not generic
products. All of our customers are
important to us. We are happy to
deal with small companies and
happy to deal with multinationals,”
concludes Sunderland.
Oil and gas experts
THE Middle East has been a particularly rich source of new
contracts for the company, especially in the oil and gas industry.
“Our Middle East business has been a real area of growth in the last
year,” says Frew, “we have employed extra personnel to help cope
with the increased demand. There is a huge amount of project work
in the region and our reputation has allowed us to rapidly increase
our revenues.”
Sunderland believes that CK’s core values have helped in securing
a range of new contracts. “We have won significant business in the
oil and gas sector in the Middle East by offering the right level of
service. Multinationals just cannot match what we can offer. For
example we keep customers and all interested parties in the supply
chain informed constantly by text. This constant flow of information,
even to parties in the field, is an essential part of our offering. These
companies then tell colleagues about the level of service they receive
and we gain further business through word-of-mouth.”

Crude Oil - Soft cargo insurance
3
market awaits major catastrophe for correction
THE last couple of years have seen some
dramatic fluctuations in the price of crude
oil with somewhat surprising consequences
in the cargo insurance markets; premiums
were held unusually low despite the need for
record capacity to cover the ever-increasing
value of oil.
Currently, an average VLCC shipment
of around USD100m per vessel is typical but
at its peak in 2008, it was not uncommon to
see values of up to USD300m. This seemed
to be the maximum level at which insurance
markets could support ultra-cheap premium
rates, and anything greater than this was
likely to require more expensive capacity
and thus drive up overall prices.
Relative to many other sectors, the
oil business tends to be well-managed, so
losses are comparatively rare and generally
minor. There has been no major casualty
for some time, and the incidence of “paper
losses” – differences between the measured
quantities at loading and discharge, where
there is no actual physical loss of cargo – has
reduced significantly in recent years with the
widespread use of electronic metering. So
premium rates have consistently fallen and
remained low.
As oil values, and consequently insured
turnovers, fell during late 2008 and early
2009 so too did insurers’ USD premium
income, and we have recently seen some
increases in rates in response to that.
However, the market still remains soft
providing crude oil cargo owners with access
to historically low insurance rates.
However, the potential for catastrophic
loss is always present and it is considered
likely that the next major crude oil disaster
will result in a dramatic correction in the
insurance markets.
Crude Oil Cargo Cover
The cover available to crude oil cargo
owners varies from Total Loss Only to
ICC “C” (coverage against named major
perils such as sinking, stranding, burning,
General Average, etc), ICC “A” (All Risks)
and Guaranteed Outturn (GOT - coverage
against a lower than expected discharge
quantity, from any cause).
GOT policies will contain a deductible
of between 0.50% and 1.00% of value
for “normal” loss reflecting the differing
characteristics of each type of crude oil and
their typical loss of volume or weight during
transit. The policy will pay claims for any
shortage in weight or volume beyond that
amount.
War and Strikes Cover is generally
purchased alongside the basic physical

Qatar expand LNG
production with new plants
RAS Laffan Liquified Natural Gas,
or RasGas is in the final stages of
beginning operation. It will be the
second LNG unit in Qatar to begin
operation in 2009, with the first opening
in April of 2009. The new facility is
expected to produce 7.8 million tons
of LNG per year, making it the world’s
largest producer of LNG.
The construction of the two
plants with two more in development
will double the capacity of Qatar which
is already the world’s largest exporter
of LNG, or gas chilled to liquid form
for export. Qatar is looking to cushion
themselves from the lower energy
prices plaguing the region crippled by
the global financial crisis by increasing
exports. The Gulf Arab peninsula
nation is the world’s richest country per
capita income and hopes to continue
to maintain this by investing heavily in
the development of up to four new LNG
plants this year. Qatar is expected to
boost its production to 62 million TPY

Production and distribution become more and more a logistic task in times of e-commerce, globalisation and global
networks. We want to be your innovative partner in this process!

by the end of 2009 and has set a target
for 2010 to be producing 77 million
TPY.
RasGas is a joint venture
between the state controlled Qatar
petroleum and Exxon-Mobil. The
completion of this plant puts ExxonMobile as the largest US oil company.
David Rosenthal, Vice President
of Exxon-Mobile, said that “gas
flowing into the unit and the first LNG
production is imminent.” Exxon is a
partner in all four of the LNG projects
due to start in Qatar this year making
them the largest foreign investor in the
country.

Early signs of a recovery
AIR France receives
delivery of its first A380
and Thai Airways receives
its 1000th A330/A340
while Ethiopian places
an order worth US$4.2
billion consisting of, five
B777-200LRs and 12
A350-900s which will be
delivered from 2010 to
2017; such orders gives
the impressions demand
for air cargo must be on
the rise. Why else would
airlines worldwide be
spending so much money
on new carriers? However
in fairness to Air France
and Thai Airways no one
could have expected the
downturn at the time of
placing the order for the
aircrafts. In reality despite
the investments made by
carries to increase their
cargo capacity the overall
airline industry continues
to face consistent overall
decline of 16.5 percent in
cargo traffic in June 2009.
The hardest hit is the
European industry which
in the past has been
accustomed to a steady
average of five percent
growth per annum; while
currently they are faced
with a 22 percent drop in
freight traffic. Following
suite is the Asia-Pacific
airlines which have
recorded close to a 16
percent fall in cargo traffic.
Such declines
have plagued the
airlines industries for 13
consecutive months, with
many airlines expecting
this trend to continue
for several more years
before traffic will return to
levels seen in early 2008.
However with the current
increases in airplanes,
notably freighters to the
various airlines, this is
a perfect opportunity for
forwarders worldwide to
take advantage and lock in
better rates.
With such a huge
order as that made by
Ethiopian, it is clear
there are players that
are expecting the turn
around to come soon and
are taking the necessary
steps to be as competitive
as possible when that
growth comes. The
African continent has
been experiencing overall
a very steady growth,
becoming stabilized and
investors are moving in,
has Ethiopian by making
this bold move taken a
lead on its neighbours as
the regional centre to meet
the demand that will surely
come.
