Sector Background Ports in developing countries represent a key asset for economic development They need to operate efficiently and be properly structured in order to support an increase in trade and GDP by linking countries, both coastal and landlocked, productive hinterlands and consumers to global markets Through their nodal role of facilitating intermodal transport ports have a significant role in contributing toward achievement of the Millennium Development Goals Port Issues and Views 4

Global (container) port capacity Global container port capacity is reaching critical levels Development of new port capacity in countries like China is fast, but in other regions (like USA and Europe) much slower, due to many procedures (i.e. public inquiry, EIA, inefficient hinterland connections, etc.) Example Port 2000 project in Le Havre: First Phase of 4 berths took 3 years Yangshang Offshore Terminal in Shanghai: Phases 1 and 2 (9 berths) and 32.5 km long bridge took 5 years Port Issues and Views 13
Expected Utilization Rates by 2011 (Source: Drewry) 140% 99% 107% 110% 101% Port Issues and Views 14
Private sector involvement Governments, in particular since the 1990 s, started to invite the private sector both for capital and operational experience To date, developing economy countries entered into 230 projects totalling more than US$ 24.7 billion of investment in 15 years In Africa some 70% of the (container) port operations are still run by the public sector LAC is second, but the process is gaining momentum Port Issues and Views 15

Private sector involvement (contd.) The WB Port Reform Tookit (Second Edition 2006) provides extensive details since not one solution fits all The Landlord Port Management Model is the World Bank s preferred option Private sector involvement will grow but Governments will continue to be the landlord, regulator and provider of basic infrastructure Governments grant a concession (Lease or BOT) for 10-30 years Investment costs of new facilities may run into billions of US$ Top 24 Global Terminal Operators handled 67% of the global container throughput in 2005 Port Issues and Views 17
Growing involvement of private investors in port projects (Source: Lloyds List November 2006) Private investors are flocking to the ports industry and so far have been proved right (ING source) There is 'a 100% capacity demand' and this would outstrip the asset value Cargo volume increases are outpacing terminal capacity Typically investors were paying multiples 12-14 times above the port group's earnings level Port Issues and Views 18
Growing involvement of private investors in port projects (contd.) (Source: Lloyds List November 2006) Examples Dubai Ports World (DPW) paid a multiple of 15.3 for P&O Ports in February 2006 Babcock ' Brown a multiple of 12.9 for PDW Ports in December 2006 Peel Ports paid a multiple of 11.5 times for Mersey Docks and Harbour Company Contrast of recent buys with those of a few years ago Royal Nedlloyd paid a multiple of 5.1 for ECT in 1998 Mersey Docks then paid a multiple of 5.3 for Medway Ports Port Issues and Views 19
Growing involvement of private investors in port projects (contd.) (Source: Lloyds List November 2006) IPO s: Oversubscription was much in evidence as from these Chinese examples: Xiamen was 94 times oversubscribed, Tianjin an amazing 1,703 and Dalian 851 times Important issues: The industry is dependent on world trade and cyclicality and notoriously difficult to forecast Planning and lead times could be incredibly long Port Issues and Views 20

Port and Supply Chain Security The International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code of the IMO was introduced in July 2004 The implementation of the ISPS resulted in a small increase of port/terminal handling costs (preliminary outcome of ongoing WB study) 2007: IMO statement that there still is considerable confusion about the actual ISPS requirements Supply Chain Security concentrates on security issues in the entire chain from producer to consumer Port Issues and Views 23

Operational systems and technology In particular in container terminals increasing automation Aims: Reduction of labor costs and higher efficiency and productivity Shipping lines will require 250 moves per berth hour whereas most terminals today are in in the range of 50 to 120 moves per berth hour Port Issues and Views 26

Major Air Polluters in Ports Oceangoing vessels and port craft if they use lowgrade fuels and have inefficient engines Solutions are cold ironing (the use of special electrical outlets to power ships while in port) or the use of low-sulfur fuels Cargo handling equipment, trucks and locomotives Solution: fleet modernization, alternative fuels and reduced idle time Also important: Dust, Noise, Smell and Light pollution and Foreign Ballast Water Port Issues and Views 29

City-Port relationship Cities may benefit from ports: employment, tax income, economic development, but Ports may also has a negative influence on cities such traffic congestion, air, noise and light pollution and security issues Port zoning plans may lead to improved coexistence Increasing trend to move ports to Greenfield sites and redevelop the port in real estate (housing, recreation, business), marina, cruise terminal, and / or fishery facilities Port Issues and Views 33

Social issues More efficient equipment and automation decrease human requirements in cargo handling Social issue: redundancy Manual work shifts to inland facilities Ripple effect studies: a port may create employment in the hinterland which is three to four times the direct port employment Port Issues and Views 37
