BMI maintains its cautious outlook for the Argentine freight transport sector. A more drastic slowdown than we previously expected in various high frequency indicators have led us to revise down our forecast for Argentine real private consumption and gross fixed capital formation growth in 2014. As a result, our real GDP growth forecast is 0.4% in 2014, a downward revision from our earlier forecast of 1.2%, as the impacts of the January currency devaluation weigh on private consumption and fixed investment to a greater extent than we had originally factored in. This forecast implies an even greater slowdown from 3.0% real GDP growth in 2013. The main driver of the slowdown is the impact of the country's January 23 currency devaluation, which sent inflation expectations soaring. As a result consumer confidence has plunged.

A hybrid electric vehicle combines two energy sources: mechanical, i.e., internal combustion engine (ICE), and electrical. The size of the gasoline engine in hybrid electric vehicles is smaller than that in traditional vehicles. The combination of these two power sources helps achieve better fuel economy and performance. Hybrid electric vehicles are equipped with efficiency improving technologies such as regenerative braking, which charges the battery by converting kinetic energy into electric energy. Also, many hybrid electric vehicles have start-stop systems, which shut down the ICE when idle and restart it when needed, to reduce idle emissions.

Travelling was made easy and inexpensive in 2013 largely due to the availability of low cost carriers with the majority of the regional destinations included in their network. New and longer routes, more flight frequencies as well as user-friendly and value-added online booking systems played a key role in securing more air travel sales for Singapore. In addition, business travellers who were on short haul travel or worked on lower corporate travel budgets also benefited from low cost carriers as an alternate form of transportation. This new consumption trend of business travel and strong performance of low cost carriers contributed to slower growth in value sales in 2013 as the average spend per trip reduced accordingly. Passenger movement remained healthy with 5% growth in 2013, well supported by Singapore's open skies agreement in Asia Pacific and increased frequencies to Indonesia and China.

Transportation safety and security systems are highly advanced systems, which are gaining popularity in recent times. Adequate safety and security remain a prerequisite for any transport system. These systems form part of aviation, cargo supply chain, maritime, and other popular passenger transport systems such as roadways and railways. Law enforcement, border security, and intelligence agencies work in association with each other in a multi-jurisdictional platform on the basis of inputs provided by these systems. With an increase in traffic and goods in transit every day, and integration between different modes, it has become imperative for the concerned agencies to ramp up security measures at sensitive infrastructure.

As the online market progresses more and more people are ordering internationally in particularly the USA where goods are cheaper due to global supply, when ordering internationally a client needs to be aware that goods received will be safe and secure, but which service is highest recommended for international shipping?

3PL is the outsourcing of logistics and distribution activities by companies to logistics solution providers known as 3PL providers. A 3PL provider is a company to which shippers (customers that transport goods using 3PL services) outsource a part or all the supply chain management (SCM) functions of their logistics services. A 3PL provider plays a significant part in handling customer logistics requirements and performs transportation, location tracking, and sometimes product consolidation activities. Thus, 3PL providers typically specialize in transportation, warehousing, and integrated operation services, which they customize according to their customers' needs. Often, 3PL providers go beyond logistics and provide value-added services such as inventory management, cross-docking, door-to-door delivery, and the packaging of products. They also provide strategic and operational value to many shippers worldwide. Currently, 3PL improves logistics effectiveness by introducing new and innovative ways to manage the SCM.

Political uncertainty will continue to affect the Egyptian economy in 2014 as the country continues through its rocky transitional period towards democracy. However, the election of former Field Marshall Sisi to the presidency following elections at the end of May 2014 will serve to reduce political risk and will introduce a measure of stability not seen since the ouster of President Mubarak in 2011. Sisi's election will provide a veneer of political legitimacy, thereby releasing US aid flows, and should help the economy get back on track. A recovering economy will be felt in the country's ports and airports and on its freight services, as consumer demand and investment into infrastructure picks up, thereby boosting container and dry and liquid bulk freight services.

The Australian economy grew by 1.1% quarter-on-quarter (q-o-q) after seasonal adjustments in Q114, reaccelerating from a pace of 0.8% recorded in Q413. Strong export growth was further accentuated by a contraction in imports, which saw the goods and services balance move into the black in Q114 for the first time in nine quarters. Given that latest data from the Chinese customs authorities for April showing another surge in iron ore imports (which are primarily from Australia) to 24.2% year-on-year (y-o-y), we have upgraded our real GDP growth forecast to 2.3% to account for the stronger export performance.

BMI forecasts growth across the board at Colombian ports in 2014. This will, in part, be due to base effects, as most facilities endured a downturn in volumes in 2013. Shipping sector growth over the medium term will be supported by growth in private consumption on the back of rising wages, and the opening of the expanded Panama Canal, which would see more, and larger, vessels calling at the country's ports. This possibility has piqued the interest of international container terminal operators, such as International Container Terminal Services Inc (ICTSI). Throughput volumes will also be supported by the growing dry bulk export story, in particular coal.
