9 Design Your Strategy

10 Port Investment Toolkit A port master plan and strategic plans are needed in order to develop an understanding of projects and capital investments that might further the port s strategic goals. The application of any project finance plan or P3 technique must be in congruence with ports portfolio of plans, generally to create positive economic impact through the development and utilization of a port s marine terminal infrastructure. For example, would the port prefer to seek upfront capital from a P3 concession for use on other port facilities, or would maximizing revenue sharing from the project better meet the port s long-term needs? This process can help the port, investors, and other stakeholders to understand the overall strategic guidelines and criteria regarding the identification of appropriate project/p3 opportunities, the utilization of financing structures, and the selection of potential private sector partners.

11 Resource Pooling Non-vessel operating common carriers (NVOCC) A type of ocean freight forwarder. NVOCCs book space in large quantities for a reduced rate, then sell space to shippers in lesser amounts. NVOCCs consolidate smaller shipments into a container load that ships under one bill of lading. Cost-Benefit Analysis Template To provide a basis for comparing projects or decisions. It involves comparing the total expected cost of each option against the total expected benefits, to see whether the benefits outweigh the costs, and by how much.
