cargo shiping

Transported through refrigerated cargo containers food is increasingly going into the containers and they are tasty morsel for almost every port. In Szczecin prevent them gaining too shallow fairway and deficiencies in port infrastructure. Good marks for the meet officials who seek not to inhibit the flow of goods susceptible to corruption.

Refrigerated, which from its English name is called reefer, it ships to carry goods at a given temperature below or just above zero. Their main charge is cooled and frozen food products, including fruits (bananas, oranges, lemons), fish, seafood and meat. Appropriate conditions for their transport, handling and storage are crucial not only for economic reasons. Corruption may indeed beyond food starting financial, also become a threat to health and even life of the people eating it.

Refrigerated recent meeting was devoted to the maritime industry, which was held under the slogan: “Szczecin – a city-friendly reefers. Participants as assessed that, as in other sectors of maritime transport, more and more refrigerated cargo containers. For the first time he was transported in containers between two ports in 1956, driving the rash reefer came true but only in recent years. Militate in favor of the low transport costs and short time of unloading

-Traditional Reeferships problem several days of unloading in port. In the case of containers, the problem is resolved. Therefore, the whole world uses it increasingly – Sophie assessed Jozwiak, Dean of the Faculty of Engineering and Economics of Transport Maritime Academy in Szczecin.

There are two solutions here. In the first properly designed containers are transported in the marine cold. In the second much more modern solution, the containers are equipped with its own cooling system. Thus when connected to power can be transported without external cooling in the holds of ships or so stored in the container terminals.

Therefore, there is however the first problem for the port of Szczecin. Adapted to transport refrigerated containers from the ships are usually quite slender and have a great draft. Meanwhile, amounting to 10.5 meters depth technical fairway Szczecin-Swinoujscie can affect individuals with a maximum draft of 9.15 meters. In practice, therefore, closed the port for large reefers containers. The situation could change for the benefit only if the postulated since the deepening of the fairway to 12.5 meters. For now, however due to lack of money in the budget are problems with maintaining the current depth of the track, so the need for such modernization will probably have to wait a lot.

It is hard to think in our country life completely without a car. Even, if every day we use city communication or bike, our own “four nears” is no voted help in emergency situations. For people living in small cities and villages, car is real necessary. Not everybody have money to buy car straight from salon. So here is big demand on used cars which keeping good from moment of participation Poland to UE.  Buying a car from offhand can be real occasion, but can happen that becoming by the reason of dishonesty of trade partner genuine nightmare. In our reference book we help how to avoid unpleasant surprises.

1.Where to buy?

Such solution have big advantages: cars majority came from certain sources, vendor in care of salon reputation not give us ” pig in a poke ” and lends guarantee. Unfortunately bought by this way cars are expensive – in comparison with internet auctions even several percents.

We can feel not confident when we buying car in commission sales or internet auction. On auctions especially hard is protect from thieves. However there prices are the best.

Curse for buying new cars are bad regulated numerators which shows course few times less than this really had place. Does not have simple manner to alarm before cheating. In better situation are persons interested with new cars.
Electronic save number of drived kilometers is possible to check in majority of new cars better classes. Unfortunately scammers improved their techniques and most of them can delete all imprint of real course.
Left only going for help to expert staff which on base of degree of expenditure part will define credible course of vehicle. Complex review and opinion on technique state we can make also in authorized service stations.

4.Formality
Contrary to, it is possible to hear that sometimes, there is not bureaucratic nightmare use car purchased If we acquire it from private person, there will be wanted agreement -sale purchased and tax form PCC-3/PCC-3A. We can find them exemplars without difficulty in internet. from former owner we should receive proof of payment of OC insurance and card of vehicle. If we fetch car out of border, we must produce card of vehicle . We manage with all documents for office of city to registration car.

(Thing according of PF analysis carried on AAA AUTO GROUP)

Demand on cars in Central and East Europe should be high by increasing the income, growing power purchasing, improving of financial conditions and advantageous prospects on labor market. Demand will grow also from the point of view of greater requirements of relocation junior population part which cannot be allowed in state to buy new car. Such deduction gout detailed analysis carried by famous firm Patria Finance on order AAA AUTO, which content make public media.

Though joint number of personal cars in old fifteen countries comes for 200 millions, in year 2006 it perform about 28,2 millions of transaction with purchase or sale of used cars. Taking additional under note data concerning sale of new cars, it means, that average period of property of car totals about 4,6 years, in majority countries of region that period more or less twice longer. As it affirms Jiří Soustružník, Patria Finance analyst and co-author of analysis, it is next indicator of upcoming strong demand on cars in this region because growing power purchasing probably will cause gradual short circuit of said period in countries of Central and East Europe.

Though demand is stimulated by many factors can be expected that trend related with acquisition of used cars instead of new will be still relatively high in CEE region. Although power of purchasing population grows new models of cars are still unattainable for many persons. Simultaneously Western Europe countries fulfill role of supplier of used car about relatively high quality. CEE Region can also use from relatively inexpensive service and favor coherent.

As analysis underlines, success of dealers of used cars in comparison with dealers of new cars in big measure bears on their models of activities it, if they are in state to provide additional services, limit uncertainty increase transparency in dealings with customers. Nevertheless,, as it underlines Jiří Soustružník, growing complexity model activity and the need to provide services presenting added value can also presenting chance of conquest of participation on market achievements of benefits of scales on divided market of used car, despite low foreign limitations and export.

Patria Finance has valued on base of information gotten in lease and financial institutions that joint market volume of used cars in Czech Republic reaches about 250-300 thousand, from that 50 000 cars a year presents object of direct sale. Firm Patria value Slovak market on 100 000 cars, Hungarian 350-400 thousands and polish potentially 750-800 thousands used cars a year.

Accepting that turn of personal cars will grow slower than PKB. Analysis forecasts growth of national fleet of about 2,8%. (for countries of CEE region about lower look-aheads) for 6,3% (for countries about superior look-aheads) A similar increase can also be expected in range of new car registration that is demand on new cars (new and used imported). Heeding on relatively high trends in range of buying used instead of new cars in CEE region, Patria Finance analysis keep that these look-aheads is possible to perceive as minima of average growth respect of import of used car.

Greatest revenue memorial , consumers can mention their cars on newest models frequently ( or newest models on market of used cars ). This assumption means that growing revenue in CEE region should become reflected in boosted turns of market of used cars. Patria Finance analysis composed on order AAA AUTO concludes that then it will have greatest influence on demand of used car.
