Portsmouth International Port should be a thriving and
expanding multi-user port, open to all, that seeks to
exploit its position as the UK’s Best
Connected Ferry Port.
It aims to provide its customers with modern and ever improving facilities whilst yielding
its owners, Portsmouth City Council, a good return on their
investment and a wealth creating enterprise.
Vision Statement 4
Chairman’s Statement
This year has been short of good news as the weather has been a disappointment and the trade in Europe has seen little or no recovery. This has affected the trade throughout the cross channel routes and Portsmouth International Port has also suffered with a reduction in the volumes of trade. The first two years of operation of the new passenger terminal has seen it perform well, and also win recognition from The Portsmouth Society as their ‘Building of the year’. It received much praise from passengers, particularly those joining or leaving the cruise ships that have now become a regular part of the Port’s business. As we progress towards the introduction of the Sulphur Emissions Control Area in January 2015 there is a great deal of nervousness about the way forward and the implications for the ferry industry, but we are committed to working hard with our customers to find a solution. I am certain that Portsmouth, having developed its facilities to provide for a wide range of ships, has taken the right steps towards a secure future. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of those who work at the Port for their part in making it a success for their customers and the City of Portsmouth. I hope that all stakeholders of the Port will find this report useful and I commend it to them. COUNCILLOR MIKE HANCOCK CBE MP

Port The green shoots that may mark the end of the recessionary times have not yet been visible in our trade, with a continuing slow decline throughout our major ferry business. However, the prospects are brighter for cruise ships with more ships this year and more turn around ships than visiting ships. Bookings for 2013 show that the best is yet to come. Our new infrastructure developments have been completed this year with the completion of the move of HMS Bristol and new search bay facilities. We will continue to update signage and other minor infrastructure but the works already carried out bring the ferry port up to date and allow it to deal efficiently with larger vessels.
The completion of the works to relocate HMS Bristol were a tribute to the close working relationship we have with the Royal Navy, MoD and DIO, without which it would not have been possible. At the end of the year we were made aware that Brittany Ferries were reducing their sailings outside of the peak times and this will clearly affect the trade using the Port. However the threat of the imposition of Sulphur Emission controls in 2015 is much more worrying and a constant source of discussions in the ferry trade. It is difficult to prepare for such a potentially calamitous measure, but we hope that we are as prepared as we can be for the future. The Port now has the challenge to work with all stakeholders to provide for the future. M S Putman PORT MANAGER
Statement
2012 saw the Port approached on two occasions by persons wishing to operate new ferry services. This was quite encouraging in the current economic climate, but in the end neither attempt was successful. I believe that the uncertainty for current operators will also mean that the usual enquiries from prospective ferry operators will decline.

Governance
Governance is the term used to describe the system by which organisations direct and control their functions. It is about being accountable to stakeholders and openness and transparency.
7
In March 2010, Portsmouth City Council adopted a Local Code of Corporate Governance, which is the framework by which the Council is accountable to its users, stakeholders and wider community. The Local Code holds the organisation to six core principles of governance. The Port's day to day management is under the control of the Port Manager, a Chief Officer of Portsmouth City Council. The Port Manager reports to the Chief Executive of Portsmouth City Council as well as the Executive Member for Planning, Regeneration and Economic Development. For the 12 months ending 31 March 2013 the Executive Member responsible for the Port was Councillor Mike Hancock CBE MP. There is no Board of Directors; strategic decisions and key decisions are reported to the Executive Member and to the City Council as appropriate in accordance with City Council standing orders and the City Council Constitution. A Port Advisory Board was created in June 2009 and provides an informal forum for discussion of the full range of the activities of the Port. The Board is chaired by Mike Hancock, the Cabinet Member with responsibility for the Port.
The following councillors are also members of the board: • Councillor Donna Jones • Councillor Frank Jonas • Councillor Les Stevens • Councillor Lynne Stagg • Councillor Hugh Mason The Port carries out its own business planning and also assesses its risks. The Risk Register and Business Plan are shared with the Port Advisory Board and the highest risks go into the City Council’s Corporate Risk Register.
The Port is subject to external and internal audits that give confidence to the Council of the operations and processes in place at that point in time. The Port maintains its accreditations to ISO 9001, 14001, 27001, OHSAS 18001 and BS25999 The Port and the Portfolio Holder have agreed to review the Executive arrangements (to include the Portfolio Holder and the Port Advisory Board) to assess whether the current system allows sufficient challenge and openness required for good governance principles to be exercised. The Port is active in ensuring it functions in an ethical manner. This includes its relationships with its employees, customers and suppliers. It strives to do the right things, in the right way, for the right people in an open, honest, inclusive and timely way.

Team
Portsmouth International Port is the UK’s premier ferry port for the Western Channel and the second busiest Cross Channel ferry port overall. It is market led and committed to long-term
growth through the development of infrastructure and resources in line with market needs.
The Port 10
Portsmouth International Port is unique. Being a Municipal Port with a successful business record, it has developed its facilities, throughput and profit. Geographically well placed, with good infrastructure and supported by a good customer base, the Port’s success is built on meeting the requirements of its customers and allowing its customers to expand their business. As well as being the statutory harbour authority for its berths, the Port’s owners Portsmouth City Council, are also the competent harbour authority for the whole of Portsmouth harbour and the approaches (excluding MoD facilities). This includes responsibility for the regulation of navigation in the approaches to Portsmouth’s commercial berths and pilotage of commercial vessels within the Portsmouth Competent Harbour Authority. In the past 35 years the Port has succeeded in building its business against the declining trend of other Municipal Ports, and under the constraints that have seen other ports change their ownership or lose their vitality as port businesses. Whilst the returns received for the investments have been good, the risks have also been high and the capital investment has had to continue at a high level in order to maintain and grow the business. The considerable pressures on the Cross Channel Market have meant that ferry operators in general have demanded a continuous improvement in facilities and good value in port dues.
Today the Port has four main revenue generating areas; namely The Cruise & Ferry Port, Albert Johnson & Flathouse Quays, The Camber and Pilotage. Cruise & Ferry Port The Cruise & Ferry Port built by the City Council was officially opened in June 1976 with one berth. A continued programme of expansion has meant that Portsmouth is now the second busiest Cross Channel ferry port. It covers 44 acres and has 5 operational berths, which between them can accommodate a wide range of ferries. The berths and the linkspans, which join the ship to shore, have been updated and renewed and now represent the best facilities for Cross Channel ferry services other than on the Dover Calais crossing. There were three ferry companies operating from Portsmouth in 2012/13. Brittany Ferries operated regular crossings from Portsmouth to the French ports of Caen, St Malo and Cherbourg, and also to the Spanish ports of Bilbao and Santander. Condor Ferries serviced routes from Portsmouth to the Channel Islands and France. DFDS operated services to Le Havre. The Port is also attracting a growing number of cruise liners. 35 cruise ships visited Portsmouth in 2012. Close to 45 cruise ships are expected to visit Portsmouth in 2013, and this could double in the next 10 years if a designated berth for cruise liners can be
11
found. These calls reflect the growing trend of smaller cruise vessels with a more discerning passenger wishing to explore Northern Europe. Albert Johnson and Flathouse Quays These areas of the Port are leased to MMD (Shipping Services) Ltd, who manage them as berth operators, providing all the services required for their trade. MMD was acquired by Portsmouth City Council in 2008, and is a wholly owned local authority controlled company. The main trade of these quays is the importation of fruit, which is a very competitive market. 60% of all bananas imported into Britain come through MMD. Despite the competitive market MMD has managed to retain key customers including Fyffes and Geest, and from January 2011, Del Monte began using MMD as its sole UK Port for at least three years. Camber The Camber is the oldest part of the International Port and contains a variety of port functions and customers. Eight berths are available for small vessels, primarily fishing boats and private pleasure craft. Each berth can accommodate a number of vessels, and there are also pontoon moorings. Activities are operated through an agent, who collects berthing and storage fees. The newly regenerated waterfront by the Camber is home to Gunwharf Quays, Britain’s first world-class shopping and leisure waterfront.
Two further Camber berths are used by Wightlink, the Isle of Wight car ferry company that operates a year round roll on/roll off service to Fishbourne. The lease for this service has been transferred to Portsmouth City Council’s Asset Management Service Department. Pilotage Portsmouth City Council is the Competent Harbour Authority for commercial vessels using the Port. Charges for acts of pilotage and self pilotage are based on the ship’s overall length in metres. Income is also generated from pilotage exemption certificates.

The summarised financial statements are set out on pages 26 to 35. The Port’s turnover in 2012/13 stood at £15.8 million, and the Port generated a profit for the year of £1.2 million. The Port’s capital expenditure in 2012/13 totalled £4.8 million, and the majority of this spend related to the new terminal building capital scheme. The terminal building opened on 1 April 2011 and the whole of the area around the building has been redesigned, including new electronic signage and a large outdoor video screen. The facility can take up to 2,400 passengers and parking and marshalling areas for 1,000 cars and 500 freight lorries. The terminal is built to BREEAM standards, which is the most widely used environmental assessment method for buildings. Another large area of capital
Financial
An economic impact analysis commissioned from Portsmouth University has shown that the Port is responsible for the direct employment of 805 FTE jobs and the injection of £38.7 million of income into the greater Portsmouth economy annually. Indirectly, these figures rise to 1595 FTE jobs supported by port activity and a total estimated £71.3 million output throughout the greater Portsmouth economy.

expenditure related to the lengthening of Berth 2. This long term investment will enable the Port to accept new, larger vessels safely on a regular basis, thus facilitating future trade. The other large area of capital expenditure related to repositioning of HMS Bristol, part of a larger capital dredging project. The scheme has deepened the waters at the cruise & ferry port has increased the turning circle for vessels visiting the Port. This investment has increased the range of vessels that can safely use the Port.

Leases Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the leased asset to the company. All other leases are classified as operating leases. Rights to assets held under finance leases are recognised as assets of the company at the fair value of the leased property (or, if lower, the present value of minimum lease payments) at the inception of the lease. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the statement of financial position as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the lease obligation. Finance charges are deducted in measuring profit or loss. Assets held under finance leases are included in property, plant and equipment, and are depreciated and assessed for impairment losses in the same way as owned assets. Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Inventories Inventories largely represent spare parts used in the repair and maintenance of linkspans, and are stated at the lower of cost and selling price less costs to complete and sell. Trade and other receivables Most sales are made on the basis of normal credit terms, and the receivables do not usually bear interest. Trade payables Trade payables are obligations on the basis of normal credit terms and do not bear interest. Trade payables denominated in a foreign currency are translated into sterling using the exchange rate at the reporting date.
Portsmouth International Port Notes to the Financial Statements
Accounting policies and explanatory notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2013 1. General information Portsmouth International Port is a local authority owned port, which is run as a department of Portsmouth City Council. The business is not registered as a company with Companies House. There is not a legal requirement for the Port to produce accounts in Companies Act format. These accounts, which have been produced in Companies Act format have, therefore, not been audited. 2. Basis of preparation and accounting policies These summary consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. They are presented in the currency units (sterling) of Portsmouth International Port. Revenue recognition Revenue from sales of goods is recognised when the goods are delivered and title has passed. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Non-current assets Property, plant and equipment are used for service provision. Infrastructure assets are included in the balance sheet at historic cost, net of depreciation. Other property, plant and equipment is included in the balance sheet at market value based on existing use. Specialised assets are included at depreciated replacement cost if there is insufficient evidence to determine market value based on existing cost. Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual values over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. If there is an indication that there has been a significant change in depreciation rate, useful life or residual value of an asset, the depreciation of that asset is revised prospectively to reflect the new expectations. Investment properties are held solely for income generation or capital appreciation. They are included on the balance sheet at open market value.
Impairment of assets At each reporting date, property, plant and equipment are reviewed to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If there is as indication of possible impairment, the recoverable amount of any affected asset (or group of related assets) is estimated and compared with its carrying amount. If estimated recoverable amount is lower, the carrying amount is reduced to its estimated recoverable amount.

3. Exceptional items
When items of income and expense are material, their nature and amount is disclosed separately either on the face of the consolidated income statement or in the notes to the accounts, depending on how significant the items are to an understanding of the Port’s financial performance. The exceptional item for the year ending 31 March 2013 relates to an increased liability recognised in relation to the Pilots' National Pension Fund (PNPF). The amount reflects the liability recognised in accordance with International Accounting Standard 19 'Employee Benefits' (please see note 13) less the reversal of the PNPF provision (please see note 12).

12. Provisions 01 April 2012 In year movement 31 March 2013 The provision balance as at 31 March 2013 relates to a carbon reduction commitment in respect of emissions. The reduction in the provision reflects the reversal of the Pilots' National Pension Fund (PNPF) provision. The PNPF is a centralised multi-employer defined benefit pension scheme for non-associated employers. The Trustee of the PNPF has previously sought clarification from the High Court on the Trustee's powers under the rules of the PNPF. Until the status of the PNPF was clarified, Portsmouth International Port was unable to identify its share of the liabilities, and the scheme was accounted for as a defined contribution scheme for this reason. Following the court's determination and further information being made available on the extent of the PNPFs liabilities, the Port is now able to determine its share of the liabilities. The PNPF has therefore been accounted for on a defined benefit basis for the year ending 31 March 2013. Therefore, the PNPF provision balance as at 01 April 2012 has been credited back to the consolidated income statement. 13. Employee benefit obligations As part of the terms and conditions of employment of its officers and other employees, the Port makes contributions towards the cost of post employment benefits. Although these benefits will not actually be payable until employees retire, the Port has a commitment to make the payments, and they need to be disclosed at the time that employees earn their future entitlement.
The Port participates in two defined benefit schemes; the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS), and the Pilots' National Pension Fund (PNPF).
The LGPS, administered locally by Hampshire County Council, is a funded defined benefit final salary scheme, meaning that the Port and employees pay contributions into a fund, calculated at a level intended to balance the pension liabilities with investment assets.

625,300 (602,000)
23,300
It is not possible to identify the Port's share of the underlying assets and liabilities of the LGPS. Therefore, this scheme has been accounted for as a defined contribution scheme, as permitted by International Accounting Standard 19 'Employee Benefits'. Accordingly, pension contributions for the LGPS are expensed to the consolidated income statement as they fall due. The pension cost charge against profits in relation to the LGPS amounted to £380,918 in 2012/13 (2011/12: £372,062). The most recent actuarial review of the scheme was conducted as at 31 March 2010 by Aon Hewitt Limited, an independent firm of actuaries.
The PNPF is a centralised multi-employer defined benefit pension scheme for non-associated employers. The Trustee of the PNPF has previously sought clarification from the High Court on the Trustee's powers under the Rules of the PNPF.
Until the status of the PNPF was clarified, Portsmouth International Port was unable to identify its share of the liabilities, and the scheme was accounted for as a defined contribution scheme for this reason.
Following the court's determination and further information being made available on the extent of the PNPF liabilities, the Port is now able to determine its share of the liability in the PNPF for the first time. The PNPF has therefore been accounted for on a defined benefit basis for the year ending 31 March 2013.

Long-term expected rate of return on assets in the scheme: Equity investments 7.5% n/a Bonds 3.9% n/a Other 5.5% n/a

Basis for Estimating Assets and Liabilities for the PNPF Liabilities have been assessed on an actuarial basis using the projected unit credit method, an estimate of the pensions that will be payable in future years dependent on assumptions about mortality rates, salary levels, etc. The Port's PNPF liabilities have been assessed by Aon Hewitt Limited, an independent firm of actuaries. The latest valuation of the PNPF was as at 31 December 2010 (calculations updated to 31 March 2013 by Aon Hewitt Limited).
The expected return on scheme assets is determined by considering the expected returns available on the assets underlying the current investment policy. Expected yields on fixed interest investments are based on gross redemption yields as at the Balance Sheet date. Expected returns on equity investments reflect long-term real rates of return experienced in the respective markets. There was no actual return in the year on scheme assets for the PNPF. This is because for accounting purposes, the PNPF was deemed to be reclassified as a defined benefit scheme at the end of the year, hence its assets and liabilities came into existence on 31 March 2013. The total contributions expected to be made by the Port in the year to 31 March 2014 is £1.07m.
