First of all, SCMAP invites colleagues to its 2-part blockbuster on April 26, 2012.

Conducting the seminar will be Ateneo professor Ninoy Rollan. Learn personality types and other topics  that will help you understand yourself and members of your team. The seminar comes with a budget fee. SCMAP members and non-members alike are invited. Fees will be finalized soon.

Part 2 (1:00 to 5:00 pm on April 26) will be the second general membership meeting of 2012. SCMAP members are invited for free. Highlights of the GMM include updates on issues, namely (1) the bunker surcharge deferment issue, (2) the cargo handling rate increase petitions, and (3) the mandatory weighing implementation.

Updates on Hanging Issues

• Bunker Surcharge. Implementation has been set on March 16, but SCMAP is still in talks with PLSA.

• PPA Hearings. Petitions for increase were filed with PPA by ATI and ICTSI (+21% each) and by MNHPI (+20%).SCMAP submitted initial positions on the petitions of ATI/ICTSI and MNHPI and attended the hearings on March 20. Then SCMAP submitted updated positions just before the long holidays. It seems that the hearing process has been revised, for the better, we hope.

• Mandatory Weighing. Several consultation meetings have been held so far. Although questioned by SCMAP, a weighing fee of P80 has been set.
