Background The British Shippers' Council is a strategic policy making arm of FTA. Its members comprise industry representatives from a cross section of businesses who require international freight transport, logistics, distribution and shipping services. The Freight Transport Association (FTA) is a leading UK trade association and serves industry as users of transport & distribution services by all modes. FTA's 11,500 member companies represent all sectors of UK industry and consign 70% of UK visible exports, 90% of all freight moved by rail and also operate nearly half of the UK fleet of commercial vehicles. Our Strength At the heart of FTA is its unrivalled knowledge of transport and distribution, shared between 360 staff operating out of five UK offices and Brussels. This knowledge resource is delivered through local, national and European representation together with a comprehensive range of commercial services. Our Objectives FTA's membership is a broad church of mostly freight service providers (primarily road freight) and users of freight services (i.e. shippers). The British Shippers' Council has traditionally focussed most of its attention and activities on the maritime and air freight services and on trade facilitation through customs and documentation. Policies are made which aim to provide the right conditions in which industry is able to take advantage of a wide range of competitive and efficient services. Such services would enable them to enhance rather than hinder their global supply chains and promote the competitiveness of their products in overseas markets. FTA's Rail Freight Council is a forum of both users and operators and UK track infrastructure owners - all of whom are FTA members. This Council is FTA's principal strategic policy making body for matters to do with rail freight, both domestic and European. Together with FTA's Road Freight Council, largely comprising freight vehicle operators, FTA seek to promote developments in the freight industry which benefit industry and make their supply chains more efficient.

Mission and Goals The French Shippers' Council (Association des Utilisateurs de Transport de Fret) represents industry and traders as good transport users.

The whole supply chain needs to be efficient to maintain a strong industry in Europe in general and in France in particular. It is a major competitiveness issue. To achieve that goal, AUTF has got four missions: To inform its members To represent them in front of national and regional public authorities To raise the profile of transport and logistics in industrial companies To offer its members many occasions to exchange experiences and knowledge French Shippers' Council deals with all the means of transport: Road Rail Inland waterways Air Maritime Influence in Europe Transport issues not only concern the national frame, many important decisions are taken by European authorities.

The Hong Kong Shippers' Council was established in 1967 and incorporated as a separate entity in June 1976. Its forerunner was the Freight Joint Committee formed by the Federation of Hong Kong Industries in 1961. The Hong Kong Shippers' Council evolved from this committee. The aims and objectives for the establishment of the Council are to protect and promote the interests of Hong Kong exports and importers, traders and manufacturers in matters relating to the transportation of merchandise by sea, land and air. The Council has worked towards establishing a level playing field between shippers and service providers, such as the shipping lines and airfreight carriers. The Council is an independent organisation of international status, with open membership. The Council represents Hong Kong shippers overseas and is a member of regional and international shippers' councils like the Global Shippers' Network and the Federation of ASEAN Shippers' Councils (FASC). The Council works together with other shippers' councils towards shaping the regulatory environment on issues relating to the shipping and transportation of goods on a local, regional and global level.
