Operations in full swing at Basra Gateway Terminal

Expansion plans underwayBy Iva Roman

The 1,850 TEU containership Jacob Rickmers unloads cargo at the Basra Gateway Terminal in Umm Qasr, Iraq.

Operations are in full swing at the Basra Gateway Terminal (BGT)

in the Port of Umm Qasr in Iraq.

“We are attracting a lot of interest from container lines and have enjoyed a good pace of cargo build-up since we opened the doors after full takeover in November 2014,” says Phillip Marsham, BGT Chief Executive Officer.

“Our focus is on performance, employing purpose-built container handling gear and rolling out state-of-the-art IT systems that include value-added links for customers. Quay crane performance is now peaking at over 30 moves per hour and considerable attention is being focused on training staff, improving terminal security and creating a strong health and safety environment,” he adds.

Underscoring BGT’s commitment to providing exceptional customer service, Munther Al-Saiegh, BGT Chief Commercial Officer, explains: “The underlying drive is to ensure superior

Southern Iraq is home to some of the largest oilfields in the world. Oil production, as well as other trade factors, drives a strong project cargo potential. BGT is also investing, as part of a USD 130 million investment program, to accommodate this particular requirement.

customer experience exceeding all our clients’ requirements.”

In addition to cargo handling and IT systems deployment, BGT’s investment plans include a general upgrade of the existing facilities at Berth 20 and construction of an entirely new container / multipurpose facility, with the first phase consisting of a 250-meter berth and 20 hectares of backup land.

Piling for a new quay is also underway, with BGT being the first active company in the sector to undertake new berth development. Upon completion, the new facility will have a 600-meter berth and 55 hectare back-up area.

BGT also has a comprehensive general, roll on-roll off and project cargo handling capacity. “General cargo is also healthy,” says Mr. Marsham. “Given the extensive terminal and supporting land areas we possess, we are keen to support our clients’ needs on specialized project cargo opportunities. We are already talking to a number of companies in this respect,” he adds.

Rindra Ralaiarimanana (left), MICTSL Quality Assurance Officer, receives from Francois Schmitt of AFNOR Certification MICTSL’s ISO 9001:2008 certification.

Madagascar International Container Terminal Services Ltd. (MICTSL) in the Port of Toamasina, Madagascar is now compliant with ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 14001 as a result of MICTSL’s efforts to improve corporate performance, customer satisfaction and activities favoring environmental conservation.

Two audits were conducted by AFNOR Certification that confirmed MICTSL’s operations are fully compliant and consistent with the requirements of the two internationally recognized

standards on quality management and environmental management.

The double certification marks an important milestone for MICTSL, signifying the start of a new era for the Company.

The certifications are also in line with the Company’s goal to become the number one terminal in Africa, serving as proof of the management’s commitment to continuous improvement.

“MICTSL is very much focused on this path of continuous improvement in order to evolve from good to great,” says Rachid Baho, MICTSL General Manager.

ICTSI NEWSBREAK

ICTSI successfully executes landmark USD perpetual

securities deal On 22 January 2015, International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI) and Royal Capital B.V. (the “Issuer”) announced the results of the Issuer’s offer to holders (“Security holders”) of its 8.375% subordinated perpetual capital securities guaranteed by ICTSI (the “Old Perpetual Securities”) to tender Old Perpetual Securities for cash (the “Tender Offer”).

An aggregate nominal principal amount of US$229,991,000 in Old Perpetual Securities was submitted by Securityholders in the Tender Offer at a price of US$1,076.25 per US$1,000 in principal amount of the Old Perpetual Securities (the “Tender Instructions”). ICTSI and the Issuer accepted all Tender Instructions submitted.

On the same day, the Issuer successfully priced a US$300,000,000 offering of senior perpetual capital securities, guaranteed by ICTSI and structured to constitute equity under International Financial Reporting Standards or IFRS (the “New Perpetual Securities”).

The New Perpetual Securities confer a right to receive distributions at a rate of 6.250% per annum and were priced at 99.551% to yield 6.375% per annum. The New Perpetual Securities shall rank pari passu with all other outstanding unsubordinated obligations of the Issuer, who will have the right to redeem the New Perpetual Securities on May 5, 2019, May 5, 2024, and any semi-annual distribution payment date thereafter. The rate of distribution for the New Perpetual Securities will be reset every five years from May 5, 2019 and will increase by 2.50% on 5 May 2024, in each case if the New Perpetual Securities were not already redeemed by the Issuer. Consistent with the requirements for equity under IFRS, the Issuer may resolve, at its discretion, to defer payment of distribution otherwise payable on a distribution payment date. The Issuer intends to use proceeds from the offer of New Perpetual Securities for refinancing and general working capital purposes, including funding the Tender Offer.

The New Perpetual Securities were also widely distributed with fund managers accounting for 69 percent, banks for seven percent, insurance for one percent, and private banks for 23 percent. By geography, Asia took up 86 percent with Europe at 14 percent.

The Tender Offer and issue of New Perpetual Securities will allow ICTSI to further its practice of prudent liability and capital management and term out its financing to better match its long-term port concessions, which have maturities up to 2055. The transaction likewise allows ICTSI to reduce overall financing cost.

The transaction is significant in several respects. The Tender Offer is the first such transaction targeting repurchase of U.S. dollar perpetual securities in Asia while the New Perpetual Securities represent the first offering of U.S. dollar senior perpetual securities by a Philippine issuer. This is also the first Asian corporate liability management exercise and the first senior corporate hybrid capital trade globally in 2015.

ICTSI Vice President and Treasurer Rafael J. Consing Jr. remarked, “We are pleased with the result of the tender offer for the subordinated perpetual bonds and the success of the new issue of senior perpetual bonds. This transaction will result in substantial cost savings and will optimize our capital structure within the context of ICTSI’s growth strategy.”

Citigroup and HSBC acted as Joint Lead Managers for the New Perpetual Securities issuance while Deutsche Bank acted as Co-Manager. Citigroup and HSBC also acted as Dealer Managers for the Tender Offer.

DIPSSCOR renews commitment to ISO

9001:2008 standardsBy Chiara AtisDavao Integrated Port and Stevedoring Services Corp. (DIPSSCOR), cargo handler at the Sasa Wharf in the Port of Davao in southern Philippines, retained its ISO 9001:2008 certification after passing a recent external surveillance audit by Societe Generale de Surveilllance (SGS) Philippines, Inc.

Maria Glenda Villaflor, SGS Expert Auditor, conducted the audit to verify DIPSSCOR’s quality management system still adheres to the international standards of ISO 9001:2008.

“DIPSSCOR has demonstrated its commitment to quality processes and procedures by continuously complying with the requirements of the internationally recognized ISO standards,” says Ms. Villaflor in her assessment.

DIPSSCOR initially achieved ISO 9001:2000 certification back in December 2006 before becoming ISO 9001:2008 certified in November 2009.

MICTSL among top performing terminal operators in Sub-Saharan Africa – Maersk

By Michael Ratrimo

Photo shows MICTSL’s operations and engineering teams together with Rachid Baho (first row, eighth from left), MICTSL Chief Executive Officer; Dirk Van Acker (second row, eight from left), MICTSL Chief Operating Officer; Mora Laurent Fortune (second row, second from left), MICTSL Terminal Manager; and Riemert Helder (third row, first from left), MICTSL Head of Engineering.

Maersk Line recently published a report citing Madagascar International Container Terminal Services, Ltd. (MICTSL) as one of the best port operators in the sub-Saharan Africa in terms of berth productivity.

Ranked fourth in the Maersk benchmark, MICTSL, container terminal operator at the Port of Toamasina in Madagascar, averaged 36.4 berth moves per hour (BMPH). The Company achieved its 2014 operational goals with 44 moves per hour per vessel, and 16.5 gross moves per hour per crane.

MICTSL’s number four ranking is no small feat considering the top three terminals, Durban, Tema and Dakar, are equipped with quay cranes. The Port of Toamasina, on the other hand, only uses mobile harbor cranes, which in itself presents significant challenges like limited quay length and heavy full containers being unable to utilize their twin lift capability.

A large majority of terminals worldwide

use the same type of equipment and terminal operating systems. Despite these obvious similarities, productivity levels still vary because a terminal’s performance still depends on its operator’s people management skills — something ICTSI has proven to be very good at through MICTSL and other global operations.

MICTSL is positioned to become one of the major players in the South Western Indian Ocean, focusing mainly on its core strengths: a captive local market of 22 million people; its strategic location on the far eastern South America with access to the East and West African maritime route; and strong operational performance.

Durban, Port Louis and Salalah currently handle regional transshipment — a scenario that’s likely to change once the port extension project in Toamasina is complete. The extension plan involves the dredging of the controlling depth to 16 meters, extension of the total quay length to 700 meters, and the installation of quay cranes.

MAKING THE LIST

The Best New Social Technology Award is one of the categories in the Department’s annual awards. The awards presentation was the highlight of DSWD’s 64th anniversary celebrations in January at the agency’s Central Office in Batasan Hills, Quezon City.

The search for the Best New Social Technology was open to all the DSWD field offices, local government units and non-governmental organizations in the country.

Prior to the DSWD recognition, the PSWMP received a plaque of recognition from the Department of Environment and Natural Resources during the latter’s 13th anniversary celebration of the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act. The Foundation was also invited by the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) to speak before a forum of community leaders on the project, which MMDA acknowledged as one of the best practices in solid waste management.

The DSWD also recognized ICTSI for being one of the Department’s corporate partners in development. ICTSI received the award under the “Salamat Po” (translation: thank you) category. The award, which was received by Voltaire

Wycoco of the Office of the ICTSI Head for Asia-Pacific Region, was in recognition of the Company’s

initiative to waive 65 percent in storage fees and its facilitation of relief goods in last year’s

typhoon victims. The award marks ICTSI’s second recognition in the PaNata awards, as the company also received the same recognition in January 2014 for extending assistance during Typhoon Yolanda relief efforts.

The Philippine Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) has chosen ICTSI Foundation, Inc.’s flagship project for the environment, the Parola Solid Waste Management Project (PSWMP), as the recipient of the 2014 Gawad sa Makabagong Teknolohiyang Panlipunan (Best New Social Technology Award).

Besting other programs representing the country’s 12 regions, the PSWMP was nominated by DSWD’s regional office in the National Capital Region (NCR) to represent NCR in the coveted Pagkilala sa Natatanging Kontribusyon sa Bayan or PaNata Ko Sa Bayan Awards (translation: Citations for Distinct Contributions to the Nation / My Pledge to the Nation Awards). Aside from DSWD-NCR, the Department of Social Welfare of the City of Manila nominated the PSWMP. Both government entities are among the Foundation’s project partners for the environment program.

The Foundation, DSWD-NCR and the City of Manila were recognized for their tri-partite initiative and engagement with multi-sectoral partners in utilizing and sustaining livelihood interventions for poor beneficiaries. The PSWMP was also cited for environmental protection through its multi-sectoral engagements.

Launched in 2013, the PSWMP was intended for two boroughs in Parola, the immediate community of ICTSI’s flagship Manila International Container Terminal, to address indiscriminate garbage dumping in the area. A component of the project is the deployment of the Parola EcoPatrols, community-based champions of solid waste management.

The 62 Ecopatrols help maintain cleanliness along the MICT South Access Road. More importantly, they are also responsible for educating their neighbors on proper solid waste management disposal, resulting to increased awareness of the community, and fostering behavioral change on care for the environment.

GEARING UP

In action: The new Gloria 45-ton reach stacker lifts a container at the New Container Terminal – 1 in Subic.

ICTSI adds muscle to Manila, Subic operations with new generation

reach stackersIn response to growing container volumes coming in and out of the island of Luzon, International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI) recently deployed new generation reach stackers in its Manila and Subic operations.

The four new units of the mobile container handling equipment are stationed at ICTSI’s flagship Manila International Container Terminal (MICT) and at the New Container Terminals 1 and 2 at the Subic Bay Freeport.

The new reach stackers, the first of its kind to operate in Asia-Pacific, bring to a total of 27 mobile container handling equipment deployed at the MICT and Subic terminals. This fleet of reach stackers and empty container handlers is the largest in the Philippines to date.

Supplied and manufactured by Kalmar, the port equipment and technology unit of Cargotec Oy of Finland, the Gloria or Generation G reach stacker takes productivity to a whole new level with its 45-ton total lift capacity, which is an industry-best for its class.

Aside from exceptional performance, it offers three ECO driving modes, namely power, normal and economy, making it the most energy efficient reach stacker in the market today. Gloria also sports an automatic stop-start function, which is

responsible for reduced emissions and fuel efficiency of up to 10 percent.

Antonio Coronel, ICTSI Purchasing Director, is pleased with the new equipment and believes they will contribute to improved port operations in more ways than one. He also praised Kalmar’s “understanding of the critical requirements of our business.”

“They don't just provide highly productive and reliable equipment; they appreciate the dynamics of the business and as a result, can provide solutions that boost productivity yet reduce our costs of operation. We have an ambitious development strategy to become one of the world's leading port management companies and on the same global stage, Kalmar is clearly a trusted partner,” he added.

Björn Jonasson, Kalmar Asia Sales Director expressed his delight at ICTSI becoming “the first customer to specify Kalmar Gloria reach stackers in Asia and particularly so soon after their launch into the region. We have enjoyed considerable success in launching Gloria into other

key territories and the product has now become the benchmark for reach stacker performance throughout the industry.”

MICT, ICTSI’s flagship operation and the Philippines’ largest international container terminal, has an annual capacity of 4.2 million TEUs – a number that continues to grow.

Training on forklift equipment was held last 30 January for the first batch of trainees composed of four on-call general port workers: Joel Afable, Ace Agravante, Ruel Cuison and William Martinez. Training on side lifter and reach stacker equipment was conducted from 3 to 7 February.

PortFolio correspondents from ICTSI’s Philippine operations, together with the ICTSI Public Relations Office (PRO), held their annual correspondents’ forum and fellowship in Vigan, Ilocos Sur last January. The activity allowed correspondents to share their insights on the publication as well as receive updates on PortFolio 2015 programs from PRO. In recent years, the annual fellowship has been a study tour of historical and cultural sites in the Philippines. This year, the correspondents had a “northern exposure” where they experienced Ilocos culture, art and cuisine.
