Executive Summary Our company Woodmate Paper Export Inc. is the leading paper exporters in Canada. Since the time the company has been formed, it has seen a lot of success in the Canadian market, and due to this reason the company is planning to go into export sector, thus changing the name of the company from Woodmate Paper Ltd. to Woodmate Paper export Co. The following report lists about the facts and figures related to an order from a company based in Brisbane, Australia.

The report shows the Incoterm the company will use, the product to be shipped, mode of transportation, dimensions and quantity of the product being shipped, as well as the calculations related to this order. Ideally, the company had planned to transport the shipment to the port of Montreal via CN railway and then further transportation would be done via ocean transport. However, due to the strike of CN railway, the company as immediately acted and decided to ship the container via road transport. Hence, the transport till port of Montreal will be done using truck and then after ocean transport will be taken.

Incoterm Being Used

CPT: Called as carriage paid to, is an Incoterm under which the exporter takes up the responsibility to arrange for the transportation of the goods and pays the freight for goods to a particular point as decided by the parties, mostly which is in the destination country. Apart from paying the freight for the journey, seller also assumes to pay for the services like export packaging, marking and labeling, any documentation fees for the freight forwarder, and loading charges at the seller’s location. Under CPT, once the goods are loaded into the vessel, the responsibility of the seller finishes, and it is the transportation carrier who is responsible for the delivery of goods at its destination. Since the seller is no more responsible after the goods being loaded, the buyer takes the risk of any kind of loss, or any extra cost incurred. This Incoterm can be used with any transportation mode, and also with the multimodal movements. Under CPT terms, the seller has no obligation to insure the shipment.

In terms of action responsibilities, division of costs and passage of risk, CPT terms may be illustrated as follows where the principal modes of transportation are airfreight and ocean freight:

In total, it will take 41 days and 13 hours of travel for the shipment to reach Brisbane, Australia from Montreal, Quebec. Since, the incoterm is CPT, the exporter will be responsible for the shipment only till port of Montreal and after that the risk will be transferred to the buyer. This means that we will not be responsible for insurance of the shipment. However, it will be our responsibility to bear the cost of transportation till the buyers said location in the destination country, i.e., in this case port of Brisbane. We will bear the cost till the container reaches port of Brisbane, Australia.

How the CN rail strike addressed? Due to the strike caused by the workers of CN rail, the company initially had three alternatives to choose from. The first alternative was to wait for the strike to finish, which could take weeks or months. Second

Group Project Report 9

alternative with the company was to go with Canadian Pacific Rail. But according to the Intermodal Domestic Schedule, there was no route applicable for Toronto to Montreal. The third alternative being the road transportation was chosen by the company as it was most viable for the company. Moreover, it takes less time to deliver the goods to Montreal port.

Calculations Number of sheets in each pack = 5000 sheets

Number of packs in each case = 12 packs

Dimensions of each case = 11”x8”x6”

Weight of each case = 30 kgs

Size of pallet = 48”x40”

Number of cases organized on a pallet = 16 cases

(4 pallets in one layer, with a height of total 4 cases)

Container to be used= 40 Ft. container

Number of pallets that can be fitted into one container = 20 pallets

Number of cases to be transported = 20 pallets x 16 cases in each pallet = 320 cases

Dimension of each pallet = 48”x40”x28”

Actual Weight = 30 kg x 320 cases = 9600 kg

Total Volume = (48”x40”x28”)x 20 pallets

= 1075200 cubic inches

Total Volume in cubic feet = 1075200/ 1728

= 622.22 cubic feet

Total Volume in cubic metres = 622.22/ 35.3

= 17.63 cubic metres

Volume capacity of a 40 Ft. container = 45-50 cubic metres

Weight capacity of a 40 Ft. container = 25000-30000 kg.

Group Project Report 10

Since the weight and volume of the shipment can be easily fitted into one 40 Ft. container, thus we will

use one full 40 Ft. container.

Cost of one pack = CAD $ 75

Number of cases = 320

Total cost of the goods = 320x US $75

= CAD $ 24000

List of questions for effectively and efficiently moving the cargo.

What alternative would you suggest to the issue of CN rail strike and Why?

To address this issue the first option available is the rival of CN Rail that is the Canadian Pacific

Railways but if we look the case the strike is just one day before the loading of the container, so

it is a time sensitive issue that requires an immediate alternative.

So to address this issue we will choose the flexible mode that is the road transport by the use of truck, ideal for the short distances like Toronto to Montreal.

Though it will cost more than the rail but will eliminate the delay as it is faster than the railways.

How would the protection and safety of the goods would be ensured?

Palletizing and Unitizing the Cargo:

 Printing paper shall be compactly wrapped in specified quantities with good quality Kraft paper or shrink-wrapped in plastic.

 Closing shall be done using the carton adhesive, gummed tape or pressure sensitive adhesive tape for the final securing.

 Weather resistant shrink wrapping and brown Kraft lamination shall be used for skid wrapping.

Group Project Report 12

 For making of cartons and packaging- fibreboard, corrugated, single wall board with one corrugated sheet between the two flat sheets shall be used.

 In all instances the smallest unit package must be labeled and identified as to contents and banded packages must contain the precise number of specified units.

What guidelines would be given regarding the unloading of the cargo?

Unloading instruction

 All skids, pallets and cartons shall be unloaded on to a dry, secure, weather protected horizontal surface.

 Cargo would be stowed in the reverse order of desired cargo discharge.

What if the goods get damaged during the transit?

If the goods are damaged during the transit then our incoterm CPT covers the insurance, so it will cover the loss if any such incident happens during the shipment.

How will be the goods marked and labelled to ensure proper guidelines for delivery?

 The labeling and marking of packaged printing paper will display the contract number, description of the contents, the number of items and the consignee's address.

 A symbol ‘keep dry’ shall be used for the precaution to avoid any damage from water and moisture to the printing papers.
