Logística internacional. Una herramienta para la competitividad

En el actual mercado global se compite cadena logística contra cadena logística. Este Cuaderno examina la logística empresarial, o conjunto de actividades de aprovisionamiento, producción y distribución que permiten optimizar el flujo de los productos desde sus fabricantes hasta los consumidores. Aunque se externalizan todos los procesos de la cadena logística internacional, lo que más se tiende a subcontratar es el transporte (y actividades conexas: almacenaje, manipulación de la mercancía, etc.) y la gestión aduanera, para lo cual se recurre a distintos tipos de empresas de servicios (operadores logísticos, transitarios, etc.) que desempeñan con garantías la mayor cantidad posible de operaciones.

SOLAS Regulation 34 (Safety of Life At Sea)

These regulations were drawn up for Merchant Ships but apply in principle to pleasure craft (see below)

Safe navigation and avoidance of dangerous situations

Summary
· Voyage planning is required on all vessels which go to sea.
· Master to ensure plan is drawn up.
· Details of factors to take into account.
· Master's discretion in decision making not to be compromised
The voyage plan shall identify a route which:
· takes into account any relevant ships' routeing systems
· ensures sufficient sea room for the safe passage of the ship throughout the voyage
· anticipates all known navigational hazards and adverse weather conditions; and
· takes into account the marine environmental protection measures that apply, and avoids, as far as possible, actions and activities which could cause damage to the environment

Small vessels and pleasure craft - Regulation 34 applies to all vessels.
For small vessels and pleasure craft the degree of voyage planning will be dependent upon the size of vessel, its crew and the length of the voyage. The MCA (Maritime & Coastguard Agency) expects all mariners to make a careful assessment of any proposed voyage taking into account all dangers to navigation, weather forecasts, tidal predictions and other relevant factors including the competence of the crew.
Components of a Voyage Plan
Appraise – all available information: weather, tide, boat, crew, route, hazards en route, passage times, aids to navigation
Plan – departure and arrival, constraints, critical times such as tide gates, pilotage plans, ports of refuge
Execute – make the passage according to the plan, taking into account the prevailing conditions.
Monitor – progress against the plan continuously, particularly weather forecast, tides and position
