Strategic Planning 1990’s Strategic Management

30

Development of Planning

31

Factors that Make Strategic Planning Essential in the Marine Industry

Cyclical market conditions Fluctuating currency exchange rates Uncertainty in fuel costs Uncertainty in interest rates Emergence of trading partners and trading

alliances Over tonnaging due (partially) to overly

generous subsidies Regulatory and governmental restraints Fast paced technology (leading to

premature technological obsolescence) More rapid response by Safety and

Environmental Regulatory Bodies to disasters

32

Benefits of Using this Process

Opportunity to optimize vessel characteristics

Improved delivery time Better use of lead time Better financing and currency terms Better guarantees Control of extra costs and changes Improved quality Chance to introduce innovation Product is more “obsolescence – proof” Fewer disputes or litigation

33

Strategic Planning Asks Four Questions

How did organization get to its present position?

Where does organization want to go?

How will it get there? How will it function successfully

when it gets there?

91

The Engineer Is Faced With Conflicting RequirementsExample

Physical – minimum weight Economic – minimum cost Social – maximum safety Environmental – minimum impact Commercial – maximum efficiency Esthetic – maximum stylishness Etc.

92

The engineer resolves these conflicts and

searches for “optimum” solutions.

93

Design is solving a problem with many VARIABLES.

94

Design is an ITERATIVE process.

95

Prior to 1970, designers used

CONCEPT DESIGN

Requires Innovation Creativity Judgment Technical perception Economic awareness Analytic log “Hands on” control of the synthesis

process No computers

107

Concept Design Synthesis takes place. Requirements evolve into form and

configuration. Some dimensions and principal

characteristics may evolve. Results in sketch or drawing. May include a written description. May include more than one

alternative. 10 to 80 man – days.

108

Preliminary Design

Should also establish

Ability of vessel to meet mission statement.

Regulatory feasibility. Patent infringements (if any). Need for new technology. Model testing requirements.

103a

Preliminary Design The second iteration in the design

process. Provides more detail. Provides more accurate dimensions. Focuses on essential features. Provides enough detail to verify.

- technical feasibility- economic feasibility

Provides outline specification. Provides enough information for

- Construction cost estimate- Operating cost estimate- Revenue generating estimate

110

Contract Design The third iteration in the design process. Creates definitive description of the

vessel. Can be used as contract documents. Permits total meeting of the minds

between designer and builder. Increase details and accuracy of the

design. Increase accuracy of feasibility checks. Decreases risks.

Tips in Bidding

Hold bidders’ conference. Use addenda, if necessary. Be firm on submittal date. Create short list. Be courteous and fair. Ensure ethical practices.

134

Bid Analysis Price for one vessel Price for a multiple vessel order Currency of payment Additional cost for financing Location of yard (and distance to where

vessel or vessels will be deployed) Cost of positioning vessel Reputation, experience and quality of yard Financial health of yard Proposed building schedule Owner’s costs as they relate to yard

location (i.e. inspectors’ housing, travel, taxes, etc.).

135

Negotiations Have primary bidder and two back-up bidders. Beware of driving bidder below level of

profitability. Be well informed and prepared. Be aware of legal obligations in negotiating

stage. Have at total and complete meeting of the

minds. Yard to take total responsibility for design. Avoid split responsibilities. Review, in detail, all documents and initial

every page and drawing.- Contract- Specifications- Drawings

136

Tips in Negotiating

Be fair. Be patient. Be firm, until it is absolutely

necessary to be flexible. Take enough time for the process.

137

McCormack’s Rules for Negotiating Do not get stranded by “how much”.

Money issues are only one part of the transaction.

Let the other party go first (with terms and numbers).

Play in majors. Do not deal in round numbers. Avoid showdowns. Negotiate backwards. Trade places. Mollify then modify. Deflect with a question. Question positions but do not ignore them.

138

McCormack’s Rules for Negotiating (Cont’d.)

Improve the offer with other parties’ self interest.

Consider barter. Keep your time frame quiet. Step back and relax. See emotional outbursts as

opportunities. Act in anger – never react in anger. Give the other parties side victories. Use candor.

139

Silbiger’s Rules for Negotiating

Know your opponent. Know yourself. Do your homework. Understand your strategy. Understand your limits. Review your negotiations,

afterwards.

151

Debt – Mezzanine Financing

Used when bank unwilling to loan owner sufficient money.

High yield corporate debt, i.e. Junk Bonds.

Closes gap. Provides high return. Compensates for high risk. Usually arranged by investment

banks.

152

Debt - Bonds

Issued by shipowner Certificates of indebtedness Specific purposes Specific rates and period

153

Debt – Ship MortgagesPurposes: Public record of lien Priority of the lien Sequence of prior liens Agreement between lender and

owner:- Operation- Insurance- Maintenance- Trading areas

154

Debt – Factors Considered in Granting Loans

Age of business Type of operation Method of payment Currency of loan and repayment Collateral Character of management Credit history National economic factors Industry Mortgage and loan terms

155

156

Quality of Borrower Liner Co.

- Ability to Market it’s Service

Bulk Carrier Owner- Ability to Service Debt- Cash Flow- Quality of Charters

157

Debt - Rates Floating (variable)

- usually tied to LIBOR Fixed

- Rare from commercial banks. “Swap”

- Swaps are more costly- Lender and third party who have excess variable and fixed rate funds arrange swap.

“Cap”- Protects against rising rates.- Lender pays interest over an agreed level.

“Collar”- Reduces extra costs for a cap.- A combination of a cap and “floor”.

158

Spread Difference between cost of funds to

the lender and the borrower. Based on:

- Credit worthiness of owner- Risk in shipping operation- Size of loan- Period of loan- Type and amount of security- General supply and demand for loans

159

Leases

Operating Finance

160

Leveraged Leases

Most ship leases are leveraged leases.

Owner Lessor■ Provides equity portion of funding■ Provides debt portion■ Retains ownership ■ Holds mortgage■ Make lease payments ■ Receives assignment of lease

166

The Shipbuilding Contract

167

ContractingWhy It Can Be Complicated

International transaction Different laws:

- construction/building- provision of services- sale of goods

More than 2 parties Much money Obligation may occur early, during

- bidding phase- negotiations

Constantly changing- laws- interpretations of law- tax regulations

168

Contracting

Written (usually) Involves legal advice and

assistance Often starts with “Heads of

Agreement” and a “pro forma” contract

Sometimes letter of understanding

169

Shipbuilding Is Governed By Many Laws

Contract law Other laws:

- tort- fraud- negligence- employment- environmental- etc.

170

Contract

A promise enforceable by law. “A contract is a promise or set of

promises for the breach of which the law gives a remedy, or the performance of which the law in some way recognizes as a duty.”

Pact Sund Serventa (Promises made must be kept)

171

Conditions for a Contract An offer An acceptance Consideration Intent to create a legal relationship In writing (sometimes oral) Parties are competent Form required by law Not impossible of performance Not contravene law or public policy

172

An Offer Complete Free of ambiguities Properly communicated Fixed time of acceptance (or kept

open for a reasonable time) May be revoked

- before acceptance- providing offer provides for

notice of revocation.

173

An Acceptance

Creates the binding contract Must be absolute and complete Qualified or conditional is NOT

an acceptance (it is a counter offer).

Silence is NOT an acceptance.

174

A Contract May Be Voided

Material misrepresentations

Fraud Duress Improper conduct

175
