4 CILT International Council Meeting Malta 2010 from left to right: Mr. Len Harper International President, Miss Virginia Tang from Hong Kong, Mr. David Brown from Australia, Mr. Michael Hensley from New Zealand, Capt. Anand Dayal Chairperson of CILT Malta, Mr. Bernard Auton Secretary General Malta is a perfect place for CILT meeting. It is a peaceful island offering fantastic historic sites for visits. The narrow streets of the island were flanked with old 3-storey buildings. Ferries and buses are the main modes of transport. Hong Kong s delegation included four young persons (Joseph Lau, Kenneth Law, Alice Yip and Virginia Tang) and one of them, Joseph Lau made a joint presentation with other young persons to the meeting. Miss Virginia Tang was one of the finalists of CILT International Young Achiever Award. The award went to Michael Hensley from CILT New Zealand who had developed an apprenticeship programme for teenagers who had newly joined the logistics sector. b) Members were briefed on the work of the Education Working Group set up to review educational standards and activities of the Institute. Seven key recommendations were put forward: 111 International CILT programmes would be retained; 222 Key Knowledge Areas (KKA) which had not been reviewed for the past 10 years would be updated; 333 Education programmes would be refreshed and revised based on new KKA; 444 Bench marking of CILT qualifications; 555 Secretary General and a new post of Director of Education would be established to oversee education activities. However, no timing has been fixed on recruitment of the Director of Education; 666 Expand accreditation teams to ensure impartiality and to enhance response; and 777 Education marketing to be enhanced. To reflect the significance of the new approaches, the Membership and Education Committee would be replaced by a new Education Standards group to be established. The main issues transacted are summarised below: a) Key Knowledge Areas were covered in a specifically dedicated workshop. Delegates were divided into seven groups; they worked on the knowledge attributes under different themes. Based on the response received, the aim is to produce a final document by the end of 2010 for adoption at the next council meeting in Prof. SC Wong presented the gift to Capt. Anand Dayal (middle) and Mr. John Portelli (left) of CILT Malta. 4 Newsletter issue 41

5 Outlook of the President Mr. Len Harper gave his views on the future outlook of CILT. The structure developed in the past might not be appropriate for CILT today. Accountability would be enhanced through a system of checks and renewals. For councils that were not managed well, they would be given a deadline for rectification. All councils would be required to sign a Delegation Agreement that they would observe the bye-laws. The President saw organic growth to be achieved not only through individual membership but strategic alliance and internationalisation. Report from Secretary General It is useful to note the Governance structure and the core management team on institute of affairs under the President, and International Vice Presidents who are responsible for standards, membership and Education, appointment of officers, strategy developments and communication with local councils. Worldwide, CILT global community includes 30,000 members working in over 100 countries and more than 5000 people now pursuing qualifications associated with Institute. This allows CILT to leverage on this network and understand better the opportunities. Although this is the first ICM organised by our new Secretary General, Mr. Bernard Auton, the meeting went smoothly. We are indebted to CILT Malta for all their efforts in the organisation of the meeting. The next ICM will be held in Sydney in Accreditation Visit to University of Malta was commissioned to conduct an accreditation visit to University of Malta on their programme Diploma in Transportation and Logistics Management (a 3-year part-time programme). The visit was conducted by Mr. KY Leung and Prof. SC Wong together with Mr. Bernard Auton, and observers from CILT Nigeria and CILT Malaysia. The visiting board was received by Dr. Joseph Azzapardi, Head of Department of Management. After meeting with teaching staff, board members were arranged to review the examination scripts, and others were given a guided tour of the campus. The visit ended with a lunch with 4 students. (Note: A Convention Debrief by the Mr. Bernard Auton, Secretary General, is also available and can be found at the NEWS page of the Institute website.) Presentation by Young members The presentation was interesting. Young members identified problems from their perspectives. Areas identified for improvements included improving website, better communication, bringing in and fostering links with young members and soliciting prominent leaders in the field to join CILT. It was suggested that the Institute should have a three year plan updated every year. Joseph Lau was Hong Kong s representative and spoke with other representatives. Sharing by Hong Kong On behalf of, Harriet Leung made a short presentation on how Hong Kong Office could help overseas councils to arrange visit schedules to Hong Kong. Hong Kong is recognised to be a superb show case on urban transport management. Adequate note of visits should be given. from left to right: Mr. Bernard Auton, Mr. Francis Ehiguese, Dr. Joseph Azzopardi (Head of Dept of Mgt of University of Malta), Mr. KY Leung and Prof. SC Wong Other Matters In response to a request from a Nigerian delegate, CILT will look into female representation and consider if there are hindrances to female participation that could be removed.

7 transport policy committee Recently, the Transport Policy Committee had written two letters to Ms. Eva Cheng, the Secretary for Transport and Housing, on Transport Planning in Hong Kong and Subsidies for Ferry Services in Hong Kong. The following letters are extracts only, please visit the Institute s website at NEWS/POSITION PAPERS page on for the full submissions. 11th June 2010 Transport Planning in Hong Kong Government has undertaken three Comprehensive Transport Studies since the mid-1970 s. CTS 2 was followed by the 1990 White Paper on Transport Policy. CTS 3 was followed in 2000 by the policy document Hong Kong Moving Ahead which focused on: Better integration of transport and land use planning Better use of railways as the back-bone of our passenger transport system Better public transport services and facilities Better use of advanced technologies in transport management Better environmental protection We understand that there are no plans for a further Comprehensive Transport Study. Instead, there is a regular Strategic Highway Project Review and the various public transport modes are subject to review from time to time, for example by the Transport Advisory Committee (Taxis in 2008 and Non-franchised Buses in 2004). Railways have been the subject of separate studies, the latest being the 2000 Railway Development Strategy. We have the following concerns about this fragmented approach to transport planning: Overview: the CTS approach is flexible and responsive to changing community priorities. For example, CTS 3 gave greater emphasis to environmental concerns and in 2010 the community has higher aspirations for pedestrianisation and also for cycling or towards more people-centred planning. The CTS approach provides a coherent framework within which detailed planning and implementation of infrastructure and public transport can take place. It further provides for regular reviews of progress against the targets set Better integration of transport and land use planning.. Better use of railways as the back-bone of our passenger transport system.. Better public transport services and facilities.. Better use of advanced technologies in transport management Better environmental protection.. We understand that the issues are complex and far-reaching, but are greatly concerned at the lack of transparency in reviewing overall progress on the matters covered in the earlier CTS studies, and the absence of strategic vision for the future. We would be grateful for your response to our concerns, and to learn of any plans you may have to address them. 8th July 2010 Subsidies for Ferry Services in Hong Kong We understand that Government is considering subsidizing ferry services to Cheung Chau, Mui Wo, Peng Chau, Lamma (two services), and the inter-islands service. We understand that the basis for subsidy is that passengers would be expected to meet a proportion of any justified fare increase (inflation plus half the remainder) while Government would reimburse to the ferry operator the foregone part of the increase subject to a cap set by the total maintenance costs on the relevant service, totaling some $40 million per annum for the six services. To qualify for the subsidy, the Sunday/public holiday surcharge would have to be reduced from the current level of about 40% to no more than 20%. We understand the difficulties of maintaining the viability of these services, but have the following concerns: Overview: Government s long-standing policy has been to provide transport services at a reasonable fare without direct subsidies. To depart from this policy should not be undertaken lightly, nor without clear policy considerations and objectives. There is nevertheless a variety of subsidy schemes in place, ranging from capital cost subsidies for some railways, to fare concession schemes for students and the elderly. The CSSA includes a component for travel costs. The costs of these subsidies are met in a variety of ways, but normally fall to Government. The policy objectives of existing schemes are quite clear: to ensure the viability of a major new transport development which might not otherwise be built; to lessen the financial burden on a class of citizen, which cuts across the whole of society (students/their parents, the elderly); or to assist those in need. The proposed scheme does not match any of the above broad objectives. Policy.. Practical aspects and implications:.. Every alternative should be exhaustively considered... Conclusion: the policy objectives of the proposed scheme are not clear. The implications are far-reaching. Both the objectives and the implications need to be clearly set out and further analysed before proceeding. In the meantime, if the impact of fares is deemed to be too great, it would seem sensible to consider a scheme to help those in need. Such a scheme may be built on the CSSA, should be based on objective criteria, and applicable to all forms of public transport rather than the ferries alone. We hope these comments are helpful and look forward to receiving your comments on the way forward. cc: Transport Advisory Committee issue 41 Newsletter 7
