The Impact of the Financial Crisis
New port projects and concessions
Investment Banks back in 2006
Goldman Sachs purchased 49% of terminal operator Stevedoring
Services of America (SSA)
American International Group (AIG) bought the US terminals of
Dubai World Ports
What Now ??
Infrastructure Funds/Pension Funds were seeking long-term returns
and once saw transport infrastructure as secure and stable
Will they keep this view ??

The Impact of the Financial Crisis
New port projects and concessions
Quotations of the maritime press
Hutchison : “all investments for new projects in 2009 are frozen”
DP World : “DPW is reviewing its expansion strategy, cutting costs
and freezing recruitment”. “DPW will defer half of its planned
expansion”
APM Terminals : “Port projects will return to realistic levels and
APMT has taken a time out to review the portfolio”
ICTSI : “ICTSI is not looking for expansion except for programs that
were decided on before”
COSCO Pacific : “New port investments are too risky in the current
market”
Eurogate : “Eurogate has suspended non-essential investments”
Gioia Tauro : “Our objective is to get through the slump somehow
and then to see when the hurricane is past how we have come out,”

Future of port infrastructure financing
Extracts from the World Bank Transport Forum April 2009 debates
involving port authorities, private sector, IFC, financial experts and
other experts
While port congestion is easing in developed countries, there are
still ports in developing countries that suffer heavily from
congestion
Port projects must stay on the stimulus policies for development,
so they will be ready to handle the upturning growth
Port projects will mostly remain modest in size and time-frame
Expectations and ambitions must adjust to “what can actually be
financed”
Unrealistic and complicated concession terms and processes too
often delay needed projects
Governments should facilitate more agile and simplified
environmental approval procedures
12. State of the Port Sector 2009State of the Port Sector 2009 1313
Future of port infrastructure financing
(contd)
Projects will be expected to generate cash flows early on in
their lifetime
Projects with less than 25% equity investment by the project
proponent might not even be looked at
Investors will need to show more commitments to convince
lenders
The existing portfolios of projects need to be combed, staged
and reduced
Even IFIs as lenders of last resort need to rationalize their
portfolios
This does not mean a return to 100% public. Public financing is
also suffering and waning, in line with fiscal revenue
Evolution of PPPs : there are still private equity investorsthere are still private equity investors
around looking for good projectsaround looking for good projects
Let some white elephants die or sleep
However it is preferable to scale back than to stop

The Impact of the Financial Crisis
Maritime transport
It takes 3 to 5 years to design, build and launch
a set of 9-10 sisterships
Who in 2005 has predicted today’s crisis ?
More ships, less cargo
Earnings in free fall due to combined volumes
and freight rates drops
Free fall of charter rates, but no customers
Lay up vessels, Scrap vessels
14. State of the Port Sector 2009State of the Port Sector 2009 1616
The Impact of the Financial Crisis
Maritime transport (Contd)
Lay off workers (shipping and ports)
Slow steaming, the Cape route, the Somalia piracy
situation
Risk on shipyards
Idle vessels used as storage for empty containers or
unsold cars
Will the survivors of the shipping industry
still be able to carry the trade volumes
produced in the post-crisis ?

Positive ripples?
Singapore, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Shenzhen and Los Angeles /
Long Beach saw a 29% volume rebound in March 09 compared to
February 09
Analysts attributed this momentary rebound to the end of the
traditional Lunar New Year slack. And the April figures for
Singapore went 5% down

Brazil is bravely pursuing major dredging works in most of its
container ports (in spite of some setbacks) but port concessioning and
environmental processes remain complex and slow
It is the aged vessels (less fuel efficient and more polluting) which
are being scrapped first

Notas do Editor
Trade prospects for 2009 remain heavily conditioned by the unfolding financial crisis.
Ongoing turmoil in the financial sector and acute credit shortages will continue to inexorably spread.
With the global economy remaining weak in 2009, a gradual pickup in trade volumes is not expected to take place before 2010.
Lay up : still costs usd 700,000/y for a small 1700 teu vessel
Scrappage prices are tumbling - rates from Indian, Pakistan and Bangladesh hubs are down to USD300 per ldt, from a USD750 ldt high last summer.
Lay up : still costs usd 700,000/y for a small 1700 teu vessel
Scrappage prices are tumbling - rates from Indian, Pakistan and Bangladesh hubs are down to USD300 per ldt, from a USD750 ldt high last summer.
