KARACHI PORT MODERNIZATION PROJECT

(LOAN 3335-PAK)

PREFACE

This is the Implementation Completion Report (ICR) for the Karachi Port Modernization Projectin Pakistan, for which Loan 3335-PAK in the amount of US$91.4 million was approved on May30, 1991, and made effective on February 6, 1992.

The Project was closed on June 30, 1998, after a one-year extension granted beyond the originalclosing date of June 30, 1997. Because of foreign cost savings, US$16 million was cancelled onOctober 31, 1998. The final disbursement was made on December 18, 1998, and the remainingundisbursed balance (US$6,769,341.29 million) was cancelled.

The ICR was prepared by Robert Panfil, Lead Infrastructure Specialist with the assistance of RaulAuzmendi, Transport Economist (consultant), particularly with the economic evaluations andOmar Hayat, Financial Analyst (consultant), with the financial assessment. The report wasreviewed by Sadiq Ahmed, Country Director, Hiroaki Suzuki, Acting Infrastructure SectorManager, Lynn Bennett, Social Sector Manager, Marc Juhel, Lead Ports Specialist and PeerReviewer, Ismail Mobarek, Principal Port Engineer and Task Manager, John Tillman, SeniorEconomist and Navaid Qureshi, Senior Urban and Transport Specialist. In addition, IreneChristy, SASIN, provided active support in the preparation of the report.

Preparation of this ICR was begun during the Bank's final supervision/completion mission in June1998 and a Mission to Karachi took place in October 1998. The ICR is based on the mission'sfindings, which are included in Appendix A, material in the Project File, and discussions withofficials of the Bank and Borrower. In addition, the borrower contributed to preparation of theICR by providing an evaluation and data, which are included as Appendix D.

PAKISTAN

KARACHI PORT MODERNIZATION PROJECT

(Loan 3335-PAK)

EVALUATION SUMMARY

Introduction

(i) Karachi Port Trust (KPT), located on the south side of Karachi City, is Pakistan'slargest port. The port has a 4km long entrance channel and provides access for tankersup to 75,000 DWT and general cargo/container vessels up to 22,000 DWT. Presently,KPT handles about 10 million tons of dry cargoes (60% containers, 10% break-bulk and30% bulk) and 13 million tons of liquid cargoes. Until Port Qasim was developed in theearly 1980's, KPT was Pakistan's only port. Port Qasim, located near Karachi andaccessed by a 35 km channel, was originally built to serve the Pakistan Steel complex.With the recent construction of a container terminal, PQA now is in direct competitionwith KPT.

Project Objectives

(ii) The major Project objectives were to: (a) assist with the development of anappropriate strategy for the medium/long-term development of the port subsector; (b)reduce port costs at Karachi through improved cargo handling productivity, acceleratedcargo and document clearance and improved land-side access to the port; (c) strengthenthe Karachi Port organization through changes in institutional, managerial and financialstructures; and expand liquid cargo handling facilities.

(iii) To accomplish the objectives, the Project consisted of five components: (a) CivilWorks (70% of total appraisal costs) - Construction of: a liquid products marine terminal;the Jinnah Bridge Phase II, Quay-side pavements; and the Keamari Groyne Access Road;(b) equipment (21%) - Procurement of: dredging plant, environmental protectionequipment, port operations computers and software, radar and related equipment andspare parts; (c) trade facilitation improvements; (d) Institutional strengthening inadministration, economics, marketing security and environment; and (e) projectpreparation and supervision, studies, technical assistance and training.

Implementation Experience and Results.

(iv) At the beginning, the appraisal of the Project was delayed by about 18 months(June 1988 to December 1990). The main causes of the delay were due to the PlanningCommission's concern about the use of mobile cranes and the Bank's concern thatprocurement for the major works be well advanced. The delayed appraisal allowedimportant issues to be resolved and advanced project and procurement preparation. In the

Page 6: IMPLEMENTATION COMPLETION REPORT PAKISTAN Public ... · October 31, 1998. The final disbursement was made on December 18, 1998, and the remaining undisbursed balance (US$6,769,341.29

3

end, the overall project implementation period (from appraisal to completion) did notsuffer.

(v) After the project approval, the implementation of most components waseffectively carried out, although there were some delays and the Project was completedone year behind schedule. The most important delays took place with the construction ofthe Jinnah Bridge Phase II (32 months)and the procurement of the hopper barges for thenew dredger (64 months). These were mainly caused by contractor performanceproblems. Towards the end of the Project, political instability was also a major factorcausing delays and this led to the cancellation of several new components that had beenadded late in the project.

(vi) Overall the Borrower's performance was considered to be satisfactory. Ingeneral, KPT performed better on the 'physical' components than on the 'institutional'components. KPT did a good job to ensure that the works and goods were of highstandards. Also, most of the studies were well done and produced adequaterecommendations. However, follow-up on several key studies involvingcomputerization, navigational systems, trade facilitation and cargo handling operationsstill remains to be undertaken.

(vii) KPT is financially sound and has been able to generate sufficient cash to meet itsinvestment obligations. However, several important financial issues still remain to beaddressed such as the re-evaluation of fixed assets, separation of accounts based onactivity-wise cost and profit centers, rationalization of the tariff structure and marketmanagement of KPT's extensive real estate holdings.

(viii) Overall the Bank's per.formance was considered to be satisfactory. Considerableeffort was devoted to the appraisal and subsequent supervision. Having the bid price forthe major civil works before the Board Presentation reduced the risk of cost differencesand delays. Also the Bank showed flexibility by agreeing to include several additionalitems in the Project that would increase the efficiency and environrmental safety of theport. The Bank's performance would have improved if the appraisal had focused greaterattention on private sector participation and on 'shore-to-gate' (land-side) performanceindicators. Also, more supervision input and focus might have been usefully spent onport operations, private sector participation and management.

(ix) Overall the Project outcome and impact was rated as satisfactory (Table 1). Thephysical components were of high priority and are expected to have a high economic rateof return. Ship waiting and service times have decreased during the Project period.However, labor productivity in some cases did not increase as much as expected in theSAR. In addition, the outcomes from institutional strengthening are mixed. Also, whilethere have been some institutional strengthening improvements (port security andenvironment control), many noted in the Appraisal still remain to be addressed(computerization, privatization and marketing). These issues will be addressed in aproposed follow-on project (Karachi Port Development Project).

Key Lessons Learned.

* Trade facilitation needs high level support. KPT was not able to gain the supportand cooperation of other key stakeholders. To gain the cooperation of keystakeholders, trade facilitation efforts need strong sponsorship at the ministerial(national) level.

* Limit covenants to key policy issues. The large number of covenants (nearly 30)detracted attention from the important issues (e.g. privatization, port operations andlabor productivity) that would have a direct influence on the achievement of theProject objectives. Greater selectivity in the use of covenants will increase theirimpact.

* Obtain bids for major civil works and goods before Board Presentation. Before theProject was presented to the Board, procurement of the major components was welladvanced. The advanced procurement provided firmer cost estimates, allowed fasterinitial disbursements and provided further time for discussion of important policyissues during the preparation of the Project.

* Define agreed measurable targets for the objectives: The Project contained anumber of performance indicators which allowed a straightforward assessment ofsome of the objectives. The targets needed to be fully agreed with the counterpartagency and broadened to cover such area as institutional strengthening and 'shore togate operations'.

* Focus greater appraisal and supervision attention on port operations. Majorattention was given to the appraisal and supervision of the procurement andimplementation of civil works. While this was justified, even greater returns mighthave been gained had the appraisal and supervision included more port operations andprivate sector development specialists.

* Provide greater clarity in concession/ ROT bidding documents. The biddingdocuments for the container terminal did not sufficiently detail the responsibilities ofall involved parties and resulted in long negotiations and litigation. The importanceof clear, well prepared bid documents has been reconfirmed.

KARACHI PORT MODERNIZATION PROJECT

(Loan 3335-PAK)

PART I: PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION ASSESSMENT

A. PROJECT OBJECTIVES

1. The major project objectives were to:

* assist with the development of an appropriate strategy for the medium/long-term development of the port subsector;

* reduce port costs at Karachi through improved cargo handling productivity,accelerated cargo and document clearance and improved land-side access tothe port;

- strengthen the Karachi Port organization through changes in institutional,managerial and financial structures; and

3 expand liquid cargo handling facilities.

2. The objectives were consistent with both the Government's and Bank's strategiesto increase the productivity of the transport sector and ports subsector to supportPakistan's economic and social development. These strategies involved expandingplanning and coordination within the sector/subsectors; improving the operations andmaintenance of existing assets; increasing private sector participation and competition(both to improve efficiency and provide a source of capital); and focusing investments onrehabilitation and modernization of existing assets. In addition, the Government began apolicy of decentralizing responsibilities in the ports subsector in the early 80s. Thisincluded self-financing of port operations, generating investment funds through internalcash generation, and promoting competition among ports for cargo.

3. The objectives of the Project were clear, realistic and in line with both theGovernment's and Bank's strategies in the sector. Through the training, studies andphysical investments proposed under the Project, it was expected that Karachi Port wouldoperate in an efficient and competitive manner both nationally and internationally.

B. ACHIEVEMENT OF PROJECT OBJECTIVES

Project Components

4. To accomplish the objectives, the Project consisted of five components:

* Civil Works (70% of total appraisal costs): Construction of: a liquid productsmarine terminal (OP-V) and of an outfitting pier and crane pier (20%); theJinnah Bridge Phase 11 (37%), quay-side pavements(12%); and the KeamariGroyne Access Road (1%);

* Equipment (21% of the total appraisal costs): Procurement of: dredging plant(16%); environmental protection equipment (1%); port operations computersand software (2%); radar and related equipment (1%); and spare parts forfloating and land based equipment(1%);

* Trade facilitation improvement: Establishment of the Pakistan Simplificationsof International Trade Procedures Committee (PAKPRO) and three taskforces to simplify trade procedures and associated data flow;

* Institutional strengthening: Study to restructure KPT's administration(reinforce the Computer Center and Finance Division); engage a transporteconomist; create a marketing cell; and set up a port security force and marineenvironmental cell;

o Project preparation and supervision assistance, studies, technical assistanceand training (9% of total appraisal costs): Feasibility, design andsupervision/procurement assistance for OP-V, Jinnah Bridge Phase II,dredging plant, and mobile cranes; Studies for (a) second stagecomputerization and institutional strengthening, (b) environmental protection,(c) rationalization of pipelines, (d) master planning and dredging, (e) radarand related equipment, and (f) improvement of general and bulk cargohandling operations; Technical assistance for cargo handling and equipmentmaintenance; and training for use of PCs and computer programming,operation and maintenance of the new dredger, marketing of port services andfacilitation of trade.

Objectives

5. Assist Development of Subsector Strategy. Fully achieved. A national masterplan study was carried out with financing by ADB and a master plan for Karachi Port tocomplement the national master plan was funded under the Project. The KPT masterplan was successfully completed and approved by the KPT Board. During the time ofpreparation of the Project there was considerable discussion about the future expansion ofthe port and how it should be carried out. Specific issues involved the development ofnew areas versus rehabilitation of the existing port, the role of private sector investmentand operations, and the landlord port operations concept. While the study was not the

Page 11: IMPLEMENTATION COMPLETION REPORT PAKISTAN Public ... · October 31, 1998. The final disbursement was made on December 18, 1998, and the remaining undisbursed balance (US$6,769,341.29

8

only factor, the KPT, Government and the Bank have now agreed that the way forwardinvolves increasing the role of the private sector and putting into operation the landlordconcept. The next proposed project will further carry out this strategy.

6. Reduce port costs. Partially achieved. Port costs were expected to be reducedthrough improved capacity and productivity. Specifically, the new oil berth was expectedto allow larger vessels to be handled at a quicker rate. The new dredger was to providegreater depths in the harbor channels. The Jinnah Bridge Phase II and reconstruction ofthe quay-side pavements were to provide better port land-side access. Cargo handlingimprovements were to be derived from increased trade facilitation, computerization,private sector participation, and reorganization and training.

7 The productivity of the port, particularly for 'ship to shore' operations, hasincreased during the Project, but not to the extent expected in the appraisal. For all cargotraffic, ship waiting time, and ship turnaround time have been substantially reduced(Table 6). For container traffic, the tons handled per ship service hour have increasedwith the introduction of mobile cranes by the private sector. It appears likely that theSAR 1999/00 target of 230 tons per ship hour will be met with the new private sectorcontainer terminal just completed at KPT and increased competition from Port Qasim.However, for oil traffic, productivity has not improved and it does not appear likely thatthe SAR target of 987 tons per ship service hour will be reached.

8. For 'shore to gate' operations, the picture is more mixed and cost savings are notas evident. The construction of the Jinnah Bridge (Phase II) certainly improved access tothe port. However, relatively little progress was made with trade facilitation,computerization, private sector participation and reorganization and training. Generalcargo still stays in the port storage area for an inordinate time period. Nearly 50% of theKPT's revenue is derived from storage of cargo in the port. The Committee (PAKPRO)for the simplification of international trade procedures and appropriate task forces wereestablished in 1991 and 1992. However, while KPT has made some improvements, itwas not able to obtain the support of the interested parties to carry out major reforms. Asindicated below (para 9) implementation of computerization, private sector participationand reorganization has also been slow.

9. Institutional Strengthening Partially achieved. Under the Project KPT was tocarry out measures to strengthen its management including:

V (i) restructuring its computer center and finance division. The computer center wasrestructured and PCs were introduced under the first phase of computerization. Thesecond stage of computerization was to establish a central on-line computerized databank with inter-links to port users and associated organizations. However, afterdelays in undertaking the study and obtaining its approval, the second phase wasnever implemented after a change in Government (See Para 15).

v (ii) engaging a transport economist in the Planning and Development Division. Atransport economist was not hired.

9

V (iii) creating a marketing unit in the Operational Division. The marketing unit wasnot created.

V (iv) improving port security and environmental control. Port security wasstrengthened with the appointment of key staff. A Marine Pollution Control Cell hasbeen established and flooding booms, floating tanks, and skimmers were procured.Fines are being applied to delinquent ships, but the fines are low. Also, water qualitylaboratory equipment and surveillance facilities still need to be procured with KPT'sown resources.

V (v) improving general and bulk cargo handling operations including encouragementto the private sector. After considerable delays, a private container terminalconcession has been established and KPT is now planning to call for bids for a secondterminal. A study has been completed to encourage more extensive private sectorparticipation but it is still under consideration and may be implemented under theproposed new project.

10. Expand liquid cargo handling facilities. Fully achieved. The new liquidproducts Marine Terminal OP-V has been successfully constructed and equipped withmodem facilities for handling processed oils (including crude oil for emergencies) & nonprocessed oil products. OP-V has replaced the old oil piers OP-II and OP-III and has thecapacity to receive ships up to 75,000 DWT.

Economic Evaluation

11. An updated economic analysis was undertaken of the same major Projectcomponents evaluated at the time of the SAR. These amount to 79% of Project costs. Tobe consistent with the SAR economic evaluation, the same methodology, to the extentpossible, was employed in the reassessment (see annex 3).

Updated Economic Rates of Return

Components % of Project Cost Updated ERR (%) SAR ERR (%

Jinnah Bridge Phase II 30 20 20Oil Terminal 17 73 70

Dredger & Barges 32 17 29

ALL 3 components 79 30* 36Cost weighted average which is consistent with SAR; overall estimated ERR based on discounted flows is 22%.

12. The economic reassessment indicates that the major physical components of theProject are likely to meet their objectives. Except for the dredger, the components areexpected to have ERRs that are similar to those estimated in the SAR. The ERR for thedredger and barge component, is estimated to be less than the SAR estimate because ofthe higher costs and delays during construction, particularly the hopper barges. The

Page 13: IMPLEMENTATION COMPLETION REPORT PAKISTAN Public ... · October 31, 1998. The final disbursement was made on December 18, 1998, and the remaining undisbursed balance (US$6,769,341.29

10

absence of the barges, which are not expected to be completed until January 1999, greatlylowered the dredger's productivity.

C. MAJOR FACTORS AFFECTING THE PROJECT

13. Appraisal delays. The Project was originally appraised in June 1988, but theappraisal was not finalized (post-appraisal) until December 1990. Negotiations tookplace in April 1991 and Board Presentation was in May 1991. The main reason for thedelay was due to a disagreement over the procurement of mobile container cranes. Fivemobile cranes to be owned and operated by the Port Authority were originally proposedby the KPT and the Bank. At the time container traffic was rapidly growing and bothKPT and the Bank saw the crane as an efficient intermediate step until fully equippedcontainer terminals could be developed. The planning commission, who withheldGovernment Project approval, argued that mobile cranes were relatively inefficient andwere not a worthy investment. Great pains were taken to explain the merits of the mobilecranes (speed, flexibility and quick procurement). In the end the planning commissionsaw the merits of the mobile cranes and a compromise was agreed that the cranes wouldbe procured by the private sector and not by the KPT.

14. The Project was also delayed when the Bank decided that the bids for the majorcivil works components should be available before presenting the Project to its Board. Inthe end however, overall Project implementation time was not delayed. During theeighteen months following the early appraisal, procurement documents were beingprepared and bids were being solicited.

15. Political instability and labor unrest. Particularly towards the end of the Projectin 1996/97 political conditions had affected the decision-making process of the country.The caretaker Government's attention was focused mainly on holding elections andtransferring power to an elected Government. As a result, virtually all economicdevelopment activities were suspended and various procurement items being processed orunder award were put on hold. In the case of the computerization (2nd Phase), the sole-source implementation contract was reversed after the change of Government. Also,additional items (tug boats environment control equipment and pilot vessels) which wereincluded near the end of the Project, could not be procured because of the delays. Inaddition, because of the unrest at times the supervision missions were unable to travel toKarachi. The political instability is also affecting preparation of the proposed follow-upproject. Decisions concerning private sector participation are being delayed and theinterest of the private sector to participate is also reduced.

16. Slow traffic growth. The Port of Karachi is the largest port of Pakistan, handlingover 85% of the whole dry and liquid cargo in the country. However, the traffic handledin the period 1993/94 to 1997/98 has been stagnant at a total average of 23.2 million tons,composed by 9.8 million tons of dry cargo and 13.4 millions of liquid cargo. It nowappears unlikely that the SAR projections of 30.4 million tons (11.7 dry cargo and 18.7oil) will be obtained.

Page 14: IMPLEMENTATION COMPLETION REPORT PAKISTAN Public ... · October 31, 1998. The final disbursement was made on December 18, 1998, and the remaining undisbursed balance (US$6,769,341.29

11

17. The stagnation of traffic at KPT has been caused by two main factors. First, thegeneral Pakistani economy has suffered because of political turmoil in recent years.Second, possibly of more importance, Port Qasim (PQ), located about 30 km. fromKarachi Port, has developed specialized facilities for wheat and containers. In particular,a BOT container terminal established by private shippers to handle 200,000 boxes startedoperations on September 7, 1997, and is operating efficiently. This development willbring KPT into direct competition with PQ for lucrative container traffic and shouldprovide a powerful incentive to improve productivity. KPT julst put into service its firstBOT container terminal in November 1998.

18. Appraisal Risks. The SAR noted three risks - possible delays because of ECNECapproval and slow procurement, competition from an oil berth at Port Qasim andinsufficient capacity of the Jinnah Bridge layout. No risks were identified for thedredging component. As noted in the SAR, all the major components had ECNECapproval and procurement was well advanced so that the delay risk was expected to bemitigated. This certainly was true. The delay between the original appraisal and postappraisal of 18 months allowed Project preparation to advance and helped to reduceimplementation delays. Nevertheless, delays did develop during the implementation ofthe Project and most components were delayed one-to-tvvo years. In particular,contractor performance problems developed with the construction of the Jinnah Bridgeand the hopper barges for the dredger. To some extent, such risks were hard to avoid andare part of larger civil works projects. Of more concern were the delays in the studiesand institutional strengthening components. These do not appear to have been preparedand agreed in the same degree of detail as the engineering works. These componentstended to be delayed in starting for two - three years and implementation and subsequentfollow-up was also delayed and often not implemented.

19. The possible risk of another oil berth in Port Qasim did not materialize. Asindicated in Para 16, oil traffic has grown at a slower rate than projected (13.1 tons actualin 1997/98 verses the projection of 18.7 in 1999/00). There are no capacity problems inthe near future.

20. Also the risk of undercapacity of the Jinnah Bridge has not materialized. At thetime of SAR, it had been estimated that the overpass could be needed by 2012 to avoidsaturation at the Jinnah Bridge approach to the roundabout. It had been agreed then toconstruct the roundabout and the flyover together with a common foundation for theoverpass, which would be built later on as traffic warrants. However, the overpass wasbuilt at the same time as the rest of the structure. Low additional cost (about US$2.9million), availability of the contractor in place, avoidance of having to disturb trafficduring the future construction, and the current availability of the overpass to facilitatetransport and, eventually, to be used in case of emergencies, justified the decision.

12

D. PROJECT SUSTAINABILITY

21. It is likely that KPT will maintain and build upon the Project's achievements andthe Project will be sustainable. While KPT needs to modernize its organization, itpossesses a great deal of technical competence which should enable it to adjust to thefuture. It also possesses a strong asset base and sound finances which should provide themeans for further development of the organization. In addition, the fact that Port Qasimhas now become a major player, particularly for container traffic and potentially for oiltraffic, should provide a major incentive for KPT to continue to improve its productivity.

E. BANK PERFORMANCE

22. Overall the Bank's appraisal and supervision was considered satisfactory.Considerable effort was devoted both to appraisal and supervision.

23. Appraisal and Design. A thorough appraisal process was followed. The majorcost components (oil berth OPV, Jinnah Bridge quay repaving and dredger) involvedrehabilitation and replacement of existing structures/equipment. All were needed andjustified. In addition, delays between the appraisal mission and the post appraisalmission allowed the Project to become better prepared. Having the bidding price for themajor civil works before the Board Presentation reduced the risk of cost differences anddelays. Also, the decision to encourage the private sector to finance the mobile containercranes was correct. In hindsight, the privatization and labor issues needed to beaddressed more directly. Even more of the port's operating and support services couldhave been contracted out or done on a BOT basis. The next proposed project isconsidering such arrangements.

24. Performance indicators. The Bank did include several performance indicators inthe SAR and the KPT was obligated to produce additional indicators. These indicatorsallowed a fair assessment of the port's performance. However, most of the indicatorsfocused on the port's 'ship-to-shore' performance and not on the 'shore-to-gate'throughput performance indicators such as cargo clearance time and average cargostorage time. Specifically, for import containers the dwelling time in ports, time requiredfor customs clearance and percentage of containers physically controlled by customs areimportant performance indicators. Performance indicators for the institutionalstrengthening components were not indicated. These could include the number of staff ofthe Port Authority, tonnage handled per staff and revenues per staff member. In addition,additional financial indicators would have been useful such as the percentage of revenuesfrom storage and rate of return on port assets and other real estate holdings.

25. Flexibility. The Bank showed considerable flexibility in pursuing the objectivesof the Project. For instance, in August 1995, the Bank agreed to include a number ofadditional items which would increase the efficiency and environmental safety of theport. These items included financing of redundancy payments for KPT staff andprocurement of fire fighting/pollution control tugs and a harbor safety craft for night

navigation. Also consultant services were included in the Project for design of a newNapier Mole Bridge, deepening of the channel, and design for the refurbishment of thepipeline reticulation of OP 1 to integrate it with the pipeline system of OP5. The Bankalso showed flexibility by extending the Loan closing date to allow the additional itemsto be completed after political instability delayed Project implementation (para. 15).Unfortunately, even with the extension, because of slow processing and longer thanexpected delivery dates, many of the additional items were not undertaken.

26. Supervision personnel. The Project was mostly supervised by civil engineers.On the one hand this was appropriate because most of the day-to-day problems involvedprocurement and construction. On the other hand, more input and focus might have beenusefully spent on operations and port management. The ultimate objective of the Projectwas to improve ship-side and land-side throughput and more attention to this objectivemight have helped to fully achieve the Project's objectives.

27. Supervision Time. Because of the appraisal delays, the Bank spent a higher-than-average time on Project preparation and appraisal compared with other port projects.This, however, allowed the procurement to be well advanced by Board presentation. Thetime on supervision was about average for Bank projects.

F. BORROWER PERFORMANCE

28. Overall the Borrower's performance was satisfactory. In general, KPT performedwell on the civil engineering side. Performance on the institutional side, particularly theimplementation of study recommendations, was weaker.

29. Procurement and contractor payments. Overall most procurement wassatisfactorily executed by KPT. However, delays in approving contracts frequentlyoccurred because of the bureaucratic clearance procedures both at the KPT and nationallevels. Payments to contractors were also frequently delayed for bureaucratic reasons.The delays in payments were frequently mentioned by contractors.

30. Implementation Delays Completion delays of one to two years were common formost Project components (Table 5). For large civil engineering projects, these delays ofthis magnitude are common and, for the most part, the delays were well managed byKPT. Two of the physical components, the Jinnah Bridge (2nd Phase) and the hopperbarges suffered extensive delays. In both cases weak contractors were involved.However, the delays in undertaking institutional strengthening activities were moreavoidable. They indicated a reluctance on the part of KPT to make major changes in portoperations, particularly in the area of private sector participation. At the start of theProject it was expected that container terminals would soon be established. However,because of unclear procurement documents and prolonged negotiations, one terminal isjust now coming on stream.

31. Studies. Several important studies were carried out during Projectimplementation (Table7). In general, they were done properly, produced adequate

Page 17: IMPLEMENTATION COMPLETION REPORT PAKISTAN Public ... · October 31, 1998. The final disbursement was made on December 18, 1998, and the remaining undisbursed balance (US$6,769,341.29

14

recommendations and were approved by KPT and the Bank, but the implementation ofstudy recommendations has been mixed. The Rationalization of the Oil Pipelines wascarried out and implemented concurrently with the construction of OP-V. In addition, theMaster Plan Study is, to a large extent, the basis for the strategy KPT is following in theforeseeable future. However, the Computerization Study (2nd Stage) for the improvementof port operations and for electronic inter-linking with port users has not beenimplemented. Radar and related equipment needed to monitor extended harbor limits andsupport safe ship maneuverings under the Navigational Aids, Radar and Traffic SystemsStudy has been deferred. The private sector participation recommendations under theGeneral and Bulk Cargo Handling Operations have also not been followed up.Equipment procurement under the Environment Protection Study also needs to becompleted.

32. Trade facilitation. Despite the high expectations at the beginning of the Project,only modest improvements were made in this area. KPT made significant documentaryprogress reducing the number of documents required from 32 to 4 or 6. However, theimprovement did not spread to other agencies. A stronger sponsorship from the centralgovernment was needed. KPT was not in a position to effectively influence majorstakeholders such as customs, the banking industry, Ministries of Finance and Commerceand private industry. Also, in some respects, KPT has a conflict of interest in the matter.The more efficient the port throughput, the less revenues it collects from storage fees.Presently storage fees amount to about 45% of KPT's total revenues. Trade facilitationneeds strong sponsorship at the national level, such as the Ministry of Finance orCommerce.

33. Covenant Compliance KPT's compliance with the covenants was mixed. In theend, KPT met the legal covenants, but delays were frequent. More importantly the spiritbehind the covenants was sometimes not met. Many of the covenants referred toundertaking studies. While the studies were completed, recommendations were notimplemented or only partially implemented (para 30). In hindsight, the large number ofcovenants may have lessened their effectiveness. Many were redundant in that they werealready covered by the implementation schedule. A few selective covenants, might havedrawn greater attention of both KPT and the Bank to private sector participation andincreased productivity.

34. Financial Management. The Port is financially sound and has been able togenerate a positive internal cash generation during the Project. The working ratio in1996/97 was 65% and the debt to equity was 10.5% in 1996/97. KPT has financedalmost 49% of its capital expenditure from operations which is over the Project's legalcovenant of 40%. Also, the rate of return on 'historical cost' assets in 1995/96 was over50%. In addition the audit reports, submitted by a private auditor, have generally beensatisfactory.

35. Despite KPT's apparent sound position, several important financial managementissues noted in the SAR were not addressed during the Project. In accordance with theloan covenant, KPT undertook a reevaluation of fixed assets, but the accounts have notyet been adjusted. Separate accounts based on activity-wise cost and profit centers

Page 18: IMPLEMENTATION COMPLETION REPORT PAKISTAN Public ... · October 31, 1998. The final disbursement was made on December 18, 1998, and the remaining undisbursed balance (US$6,769,341.29

15

including administration and subsidiaries have also not been established. In addition, thetariff structure was to be rationalized and made more transparent, but this has not beencompleted. KPT also has extensive real estate holdings which are leased to variousparties at significantly lower than market rates. Resolution of these issues is basic toimproving KPT's financial management.

G. ASSESSMENT OF OUTCOME

36. Overall the Project outcome was rated as satisfactory (Table 1). The physicalcomponents had high priority and are expected to have a high economic rate of return.Ship waiting and service time has decreased during the Project period. On the negativeside labor productivity in some cases did not increase as much as expected in the SAR.In addition, the outcomes from institutional strengthening are mixed. Also while therehave been some institutional strengthening improvements (port security and environmentcontrol), many noted in the Appraisal still remain to be addressed (computerization,privatization and marketing).

H. FUTURE OPERATION

37. A new operation is under consideration to further extend the gains made under theKarachi Port Modernization Project. The objectives of the new project are to: (i)improve the performance of Karachi Port Trust (KPT) organization as a landlord port;(ii) assist in creating an enabling environment for private sector participation in portactivities; (iii) improve the port safety and environment; (iv) reduce the constraints totrade growth and competitiveness, in coordination with the proposed Pakistan Trade andTransport Facilitation Project, through facilitation of procedures and operations. Underthe proposed project the role of KPT would be expanded beyond that of infrastructureprovider to that of trade and hinterland transport facilitator. Project preparation willinvolve "up-front" actions which will promote the landlord port concept and privatesector participation such as corporatization and divestment of subsidiary services as wellas taking into account the lessons learned from the previous Project.

I. KEY LESSONS LEARNED

38. Trade facilitation needs high level support. Under the Project, KPT was to playa lead role in introducing trade facilitation. KPT did attempt to coordinate tradefacilitation efforts and internally did make some improvements with documentsimplification. However, to gain the cooperation of key stakeholders, trade facilitationefforts need strong sponsorship at the ministerial (national) level.

39 Limit covenants to key policy issues. The Project had nearly 30 legal covenantsranging from important policy issues to implementation dates for studies. Many of the

Page 19: IMPLEMENTATION COMPLETION REPORT PAKISTAN Public ... · October 31, 1998. The final disbursement was made on December 18, 1998, and the remaining undisbursed balance (US$6,769,341.29

16

covenants were redundant. More importantly, the large number of covenants detractedattention from the important issues (e.g. privatization, port operations and laborproductivity) that would have a direct influence on the achievement of the Projectobjectives. Greater selectivity in the use of covenants should increase their impact.

40. Obtain bids for major civil works and goods before Board Presentation. Beforethe Project was presented to the Board, procurement of the major components was welladvanced. This did not eliminate later implementation delays that took place because ofweak contractors. However, it provided firmer cost estimates, allowed faster initialdisbursements and provided further time to discuss important policy issues during thepreparation of the Project.

41. Define agreed measurable targets for the objectives: The Project was advancedin this respect. It contained a number of performance indicators which made theassessment of the objectives relatively straightforward. However, the targets needed tobe fully agreed with the counterpart agency and broadened to cover such areas asinstitutional strengthening and land-side operations.

42 Focus greater supervision attention on port operations. The main objective ofthe Project was to increase productivity which would lower throughput costs of the port.Major attention was given to the supervision of the procurement and implementation ofcivil works. This effort was justified and investments are expected to increaseproductivity. However, even greater returns could have been gained if more supervisiontime were devoted to port operations. This includes shore-to-gate operations as well asship-to-shore operations.

43. Provide greater clarity in concession/BOT bidding documents. A public tenderwas undertaken for the concession of the container terminals. The open tender providedtransparence, however it was not sufficient to avoid extended subsequent negotiationsdelays and legal proceedings. The bidding documents did not sufficiently detail theresponsibilities of all involved parties and left too much discretion to the port authority.The importance of clear, well prepared bid documents has been reconfirmed.

IMPLEMENTATION COMPLETION REPORT (ICR)MISSION

AIDE-MEMOIRE(October 20 - 26, 1998)

A. GENERAL

1. A World Bank (WB) mission composed by Transport Consultant Raul Auzmendivisited Karachi, Pakistan from October 20 to 26, 1998. The objectives of themission were: (i) to assess in place the major results achieved during theimplementation of Loan No. 3335-PAK, (ii) to gather information for thepreparation of the ICR, and (iii) to collect supporting data to undertake, on returnto WB Headquarters, the economic re-evaluation of the main components of theproject. The mission met the Chairman of Karachi Port Trust (KPT) Vice AdmiralKhalid M. Mir, and high level officials of the different divisions of KPT (for acomplete list of persons met during the mission refer to Annex I). Also, themission inspected in-situ the major project components such as Jinnah BridgePhase II, Liquid Products Marine Terminal (OP-V), the Dredging Plant, the newKarachi International Container Terminal and the Port of Qasim. The viewsexpressed herein are those of the mission and would in due course be confirmedby the WB. The mission wishes to thank all parties concerned with the project, forthe courtesies and cooperation extended to it.

B. OVERALL ASSESSMENT

2. All the physical project components were adequately completed with some delayswith respect to the original Staff Appraisal Report (SAR) schedule. These delaysare considered to be within reasonable limits for this type of projects. Thecomponents were executed within the SAR estimated costs. They were built inaccordance with the required high standards, are being properly maintained andare operating correctly, with some observations indicated in paras. 5 and 7. Mostof the studies financed by the project were properly carried out and approved bythe KPT and the Bank. In general, the recommendations were sound andapplicable to the specific conditions of the country. The degree of theirimplementation varies, and more details are included in para. 8. The overallobjective of the project was to improve the efficiency of the port, as measured by

Page 36: IMPLEMENTATION COMPLETION REPORT PAKISTAN Public ... · October 31, 1998. The final disbursement was made on December 18, 1998, and the remaining undisbursed balance (US$6,769,341.29

33

specific operational targets specified in para. 3.24 of the SAR. Comparison ofthese values with the actual ones can be found in Annex II. In general, progresshas been mixed. From the time of the SAR, productivity values have remainedabout the same for movement of bulk cargo and for the average turn around timeof general cargo vessels, has shown some improvements for movements ofcontainerized cargo (carried out by mobile cranes), while significantimprovements have been obtained in ship waiting tinme and availability of cargohandling equipment. However, this has to be considered in line with a generalstagnation of the traffic handled by KPT (traffic numbers are almost the same, forall types of cargo, inl997-98 as they were in 1992-93). The operation of the newBOT container terminal installed in berths 22-24 will start in November 1, 1998.The terminal, which will be privately operated, has three modem gantry cranes,adequate lifting and transport equipment, and a well designed storage area. Thissystem would undoubtedly help improving the movement of containers to therange of 22-25 boxes/hr/crane, which is comparable with port productivityachieved in developed countries. In general, KPT is concerned about improvingproductivity, and related actions are taken through an intensification of privatizingselected port activities and reduction of its personnel (see para. 9).

C. SPECIFIC COMMENTS

3. Jinnah Bridge Phase II: The quality of the construction of the interchange,composed by a roundabout, a flyover and an overpass, is good, and the systemfunctions adequately. An area that at certain times of the day used to be highlycongested before, is now operating at a comfortable level of service. To get anindication of the impact of the structure in the system, during the mission a traveltime survey was carried out at peak hour, registering the time it takes now toconnect specific points in the project influence area. The results were comparedwith similar information gathered in 1988, before Loan approval, and the result isthat in that year it was taking 64% more time than now to connect all of the samepoints. The result is impressive, and it is conservative because obviously thesystem carries now a higher traffic volume as a result of the normal growthoccurred along ten years. Incidentally, during the mission a comparison was madebetween actual traffic counts taken by KPT in 1996 in eight links of the projectinfluence area, with the related traffic volumes in the same links as forecasted forthe same year at appraisal. The consistency is high, which validates the forecastincluded in the SAR.

4. At the time of SAR, it had been estimated that the overpass could be needed by2012 to avoid saturation at the Jinnah Bridge approach to the roundabout. It hadbeen agreed then to construct the roundabout and the flyover together with acommon foundation for the overpass, which would be built later on as trafficwarrants. However, the overpass was built now together with the rest of thestructure. Low additional cost (about US$2.9 million), availability of thecontractor in place, avoidance of having to disturb traffic during the future

Page 37: IMPLEMENTATION COMPLETION REPORT PAKISTAN Public ... · October 31, 1998. The final disbursement was made on December 18, 1998, and the remaining undisbursed balance (US$6,769,341.29

34

construction, and the current availability of the overpass to facilitate transportand, eventually, to be used in case of emergencies, justified the decision.

5. The mission indicated two observations with respect to the current operation ofthe interchange. First, the system is not simple, and the users should be clearlyinstructed about the main characteristics of it. The mission is of the opinion thatthe current signing system is inadequate in number, size and content. KPTindicated that a related bid would be call for, during the next few months. Second,as happens in similar cases in other countries, the interchange dumps largevolume of traffic in the connector points, and consequently the conditions in themshould be carefully studied to avoid congestion. In particular, the mission verifiedthat this is especially bad at the connection with the Mauripur Road. Apparently,the solution consists of widening a section of about 100 meters, work that theMunicipality, together with a 30% financing by KPT, will call for bid soon.

6. Liquid Products Marine Terminal (OP-V): The construction quality andmaintenance of this terminal is good. The timing for its construction was veryappropriate, because the combined capacity of the new OP-V and the existing OP-IV (built in 1978 for 75,000 DWT tankers, under another WB loan) will beenough to satisfy the demand for some years to come. This will permit thetemporary closure of the third berth OP-I (built in 1966 for 35,OOODWT tankers)which should then be replaced by a new, larger, more modem facility. The trafficmoved in 1997-98 by OP-V was about 5.4 million tons, which represents morethan 40% of the total port traffic. Only about 10% were moved through OP-I, andthe rest was handled, almost entirely, by OP-IV. Berth occupancy before OP-Vstarted operations in April 1994, was reaching high levels around 80%, whichwith only two berths resulted in increased ship waiting time and demurragecharges. After OP-V was operational, the berth occupancy came down tocomfortable levels around 65%.

7. Dredging Plant: The bucket chain dredger is mechanically working fine, and ithas been properly maintained. In February 1997, outside the guaranty period, ithad a major breakdown, but the supplier promptly fixed the problem, at no chargefor KPT. It started operations in March 1995, but significant delays occurred inthe construction of two hopper barges, which were supposed to satisfy the haulingneeds of the dredged soil to its final deposit. These barges are now expected to bein place in early 1999. In the meantime, existing old and smaller barges have beenutilized. This seem to be one of the major reasons for the low production achievedby the dredger, that in slightly over three years of operation could only dredge anaverage of about 320,000 cubic meters of solid per year. Its theoretical capacity isabout three times that value. On top of the indicated delays in counting withadequate barges, it seems KPT is experiencing shortage of qualified manpowerand outdated working conditions. KPT is concerned with respect to this situation,and solutions are being worked out, including privatization of part of the dredgingactivities.

35

8. Studies: Several studies were carried out during project implementation. Ingeneral, they were properly done, produced adequate recommendations, wereapproved by KPT and WB, but their implementation has been mixed. The MasterPlan Study is, to a large extent, the basis for the strategy KPT is following in theforeseeable future. The Computerization Study helped in encouraging the use ofcomputers in KPT, which has been partly achieved. The study on Rationalizationof Handling Equipment and Privatization perhaps lacks details on specifics of theoperations. As a result of the Environmental Impact Study a Marine PollutionControl Center was established, and some related equipment, such as floatingbooms, skimmers, floating tanks, laboratory equipment for water quality, havebeen purchased. The Rationalization of Pipelines Study was carried outconcurrently with and implemented during the construction of OP-V.

9. KPT Strategy to Improve Productivity: Two major actions have been taken byKPT to improve efficiency: privatization and reduction of personnel strength. Atop of the line dedicated BOT container terminal at a cost of US$65 million isgoing to start operations in November 1, 1998. Private interests in developing asecond container terminal in berths 6 to 9 are going to be called for soon. Otherprivatization schemes are also under consideration. As far as reduction ofpersonnel strength is concerned, a golden handshake program is beenimplemented. Out of a total of 12,500 people, about 600 has accepted theconditions for leaving the organization.

D. CONCLUSIONS

10. In summary, the project was executed without major problems. It was executedwithin reasonable variations in cost and timing. Some US$16 millions from theLoan were cancelled because of savings in foreign exchange components of civilworks and equipment contracts. Government financed similar amount of moneyin Rupees in related works. The facilities are properly maintained. In general, thefacilities function well with some operational improvements required in certainareas. The impact of the studies was mixed. Improvements in productivity wereonly partly achieved.

ECONOMIC RE-EVALUATION

I. GENERAL

1. An updated economic analysis was undertaken of the same project componentsevaluated at the time of the SAR, namely: (a) the construction of a roundabout and itsroad connectors with the city and port networks (Jinnah Bridge Phase II), (b) theconstruction of a Liquid Products Marine Terminal (Oil Pier V [OP-V]), and (c)provision of a replacement dredger and two hopper barges (Dredger Plant). These amountto 79% of project costs (see Table 8A and 9). To be consistent with the SAR economicevaluation, all inputs and outputs were converted to constant 1990 prices. Financial costestimates were converted to economic costs by applying appropriate factors as used at thetime of appraisal. All the physical project components were adequately completed withsome delays with respect to the original Staff Appraisal Report (SAR) schedule. Inparticular, the delivery of the two hopper barges is still pending. However, these delaysare considered to be within reasonable limits for this type of projects. The componentswere executed within the SAR estimated costs. They were built in accordance with therequired high standards, are being properly maintained and are operating correctly, withsome observations indicated below.

II. COSTS AND BENEFITS

2. Jinnah Bridge Phase II: The quality of the construction of the interchange,composed by a roundabout, a flyover and an overpass, is good and the system functionsadequately. An area that at certain times of the day used to be highly congested in late80's is now operating at a comfortable level of service. To get an indication of the impactof the structure in the transport system, a travel time survey, using the moving observermethod, was carried out at peak hours on October 21, 1998, registering the time it takesnow to connect specific points in the project influence area. The results were comparedwith the same information gathered in 1988, before Loan approval. The conclusion is thatin that year it was taking 64% more time than now to connect all of the same points.

Table BI shows the information in 1988, without the project, and the current, with theproject. This is impressive. It is also conservative because obviously the system carriesnow a higher traffic volume as a result of the normal growth occurred along ten years.

Page 42: IMPLEMENTATION COMPLETION REPORT PAKISTAN Public ... · October 31, 1998. The final disbursement was made on December 18, 1998, and the remaining undisbursed balance (US$6,769,341.29

39

the overpass, which would be built later on as traffic warrants. However, the overpasswas built now together with the rest of the structure. Low additional cost (about US$2.9million), availability of the contractor in place, avoidance of having to disturb traffic laterduring the future construction, and the current availability of the overpass to facilitatetransport and, eventually, to be used in case of emergencies, justified the decision.

4. There are two observations with respect to the current operation of theinterchange. First, the system is not simple, and the users should be clearly instructedabout the main characteristics of it. The current sign system is inadequate in number, sizeand content. KPT indicated that a related bid would be call for, during the next fewmonths, adopting international standards. Second, as happens in similar cases in othercountries, the interchange dumps large volume of traffic in the connector points with theroad network, and consequently the conditions in them should be carefully studied toavoid congestion. In particular, during the ICR mission it was possible to verify that thisis especially bad at the connection with the Mauripur Road. It seems the solution shouldbe widening a section of about 100 meters, work that the Municipality, together with a30% financing by KPT, will call for bid soon.

5. To update the economic evaluation, actual financial costs were converted to 1990prices (bid prices were of 1991) and multiplied by a factor of 70% to transform them intoeconomic costs. This is the factor used in the report "Construction of Jinnah Bridge,Phase II" (CJB-PHII) by consultants, which was the basis for the SAR.

6. Moreover, one of the major matters to be confirmed is how the actual trafficvolumes compared with the corresponding traffic volumes forecasted at the time ofappraisal. The assignment model utilized for (CJB-PHII) is not available anymore Due tolimitations of time and resources, it was not possible at the ICR mission to carry out acomplete traffic survey in the project area. However, a very comprehensive TrafficSurvey had been carried out in 1996, by one of the consulting firms that had prepared thebasic report (CJB-PHII) mentioned above. That survey was conducted while the projectwas under construction, and consequently non-operational. So, the traffic volume resultsof the 1996 survey, in specific posts, were compared with the forecasted traffic volumesin the same posts and for the same year, 1996, based on the results of the original trafficsurvey conducted in 1988 for the (CJB-PHII). The results are shown in Table B2. Thevariation among posts is somewhat broader because the area is an urban one, andconsequently traffic diversions among links are likely. But the aggregate values indicatethat what was forecasted for 1996 at SAR is only 11% lower than the actual valuesregistered in the same year. The result is very good, and it could be concluded that for theupdate analysis it could be conservatively assumed the same traffic volume values of theSAR. As a final check, annual traffic growth at appraisal was assumed to be 4%, whichalso seems to be conservative if it is compared with an actual annual growth of 5.2% inthe motor vehicle registration in Karachi during 1986 to 1996 (Table B3).

GrossBenefits are the same as indicated in the SAR for the corresponding years. As shownabove the total traffic volume in the area could be considered the same as in SAR. Theonly transport infrastructure in the area is the interchange, so, undoubtedly, traffic mustbe assigned as expected at SAR, and the traffic forecast for future years seem to beconservative. Another reason that supports the conservative nature of the assumption isthat the interchange has now the contribution of the overpass, whiat in the SAR evaluationwas considered to be built later on. The ERR results to be 19.7%, almost the same as thecalculated at SAR (20%). As a switching value, if the values of the gross benefits arereduced to 54.5% of the assumed values, the project would have an ERR of 12%.Obviously, it is highly unlikely that a situation like that may hap pen.

8. Liquid Products Marine Terminal (Oil Pier V [OP-V]): The constructionquality and maintenance of this terminal is good. The timing for its construction was veryappropriate, because the combined capacity of the new OP-V, which is designed tohandle 75,000 DWT tankers, and the existing OP-IV (built in 1978 for 75,000 DWTtankers, under another WB loan) will be enough to satisfy the demand for some years tocome. This will permit the temporary closure of the third berth OP-I (built in 1966 for35,000DWT tankers) which should then be replaced by a new, larger, more modemfacility. The traffic moved in 1997-98 by OP-V was about 5.4 million tons, whichrepresents more than 40% of the total port traffic. Only about 10% were moved throughOP-I, and the rest was handled, almost in its entirety, by the existing OP-IV. Berthoccupancy before OP-V started operations in April 1994, was reaching dangerous levelsaround 80%, which with only two berths resulted in increased ship waiting time anddemurrage charges. After OP-V was operational, the berth occupancy came down tocomfortable levels around 65%. Consequently, average tankers waiting time came downfrom a high value of 103.5 hours/ship in 1993/94, to 45.5 in the year OP-V started

42

operations, and a current value of 26.9 in 1997/98. However, the service time and thevolume of cargo unloaded per tanker have remained about the same.

9. As indicated in para. 1, in order to be consistent with the SAR economicevaluation, all inputs and outputs of the updated economic analysis must be converted toconstant 1990 prices. This was not necessary for OP-V, because its tender opening wasFebruary 28, 1990. The actual financial costs were multiplied by a factor of 80% totransform them into economic costs. This considers that part of the contract consisted ofimported materials and part was construction work.

10. The benefits of the new OP-V are twofold. First, is the difference in ship waitingtime, for the same volume of cargo, between the without project situation (only OP-IVand OP-I operate) and the with project situation, when the OP-V is incorporated into thesystem. Table 51 summarizes the calculations of the demurrages foregone (benefits), as aresult of the project. The second benefit is the savings in freight rates of tanker operatingcosts since larger tankers could be used with the new berth. In the economic analysis itwas assumed larger ships after 2002. However, statistics show that in the four years OP-V has been in operation, the cargo per ship has remained practically constant. Thisbenefit will be disregarded as part of the sensitivity analysis.

l Its methodology is based on queue theory and Poisson arrival of ships.

11. Finally, Table B6 shows the Updated Economic Rate of Return Analysis (ERR) forOP-V. The ERR is 73%, slightly higher than the value of 70% derived at SAR. A veryunlikely reduction of 50% of the benefits, would reduce the ERR to a healthy 43%. If theincrease in ship size after 2002 is disregarded, the ERR remains about the same as in thebase case.

12. Dredger and two hopper barges: The bucket chain dredger is mechanicallyworking fine, and it has been properly maintained. In February 1997 it had a majorbreakdown, but the supplier promptly fixed the problem. It started operations in March1995, but significant delays occurred in the construction of the two hopper barges, whichare supposed to carry the dredged soil. These barges are now expected to be in operationin early 1999. In the meantime, existing old and smaller barges have been utilized. Thisseems to be one of the major reasons for the low productivity achieved by the dredger,that in slightly over three years of operation could only dredge an average of about320,000 cubic meters of solid per year. Its theoretical capacity is about three times thatvalue. On top of the indicated delays in counting with adequate barges, it seems KPT isexperiencing shortage of qualified manpower and outdated working conditions. Forexample, a barge that can operate with 13-14 persons, is forced to have 28 in accordancewith the rules. KPT is concerned with respect to this situation, and solutions are beingworked out, including privatization of part of the dredging activities.

13. The dredger operates, as expected at SAR, in the upper harbor, together with othertwo dredgers. A trailing suction dredger carries out the dredging of the approach channeland lower harbor. The annual maintenance dredging requirements for the upper harborare about 600,000 cubic meters of soils, which since the incorporation of the projectdredger, has roughly been the aggregate production of the three dredgers. Additionalproduction is needed for carrying out capital dredging, including progressive deepeningof the navigable channel from 32 ft. to 37 ft., the depth of Port Qasim.

14. The traffic of general cargo, bulk cargo and oil tankers handled in the Port of Karachihas shown a general stagnation during the 90's. The Chart shows the general trend,together with a projection of the traffic for the next 20 years, as prepared by consultantsTAMS in 1994 and updated in October 1998 by Rendel Palmer & Tritton. Those valueswere used in the Updated Economic Analysis of the Dredger Plant.

15. The contract price was in DEM and it was converted to US$ for the updatedeconomic analysis. Taxes are duties are not included in the contract price. The benefits ofthe dredger are basically the avoidance of the operational delays which would have beencaused to the ships in case the maintenance dredging was not entirely performed. Also,through capital dredging, it would be possible to gradually count with deeper depths,which would permit larger ships to operate in the Port of Karachi. As indicated in theSAR, to assess these benefits accurately would require a detailed study of theconsequences of siltation on ship movements. Simplifying assumptions were made atSAR to obtain an approximate ERR, and a similar approach is followed in this analysis.Table B7 gives details of the assumptions made to estimate the benefits.

Table B8 shows the updated economic analysis. The updated ERR is a satisfactory17.2%, although substantially lower than the value of 29% of the SAR. The result is notsurprising given the operational difficulties found to obtain adequate productivity. Theanalysis is conservative because the future production of the dredger is estimated to bearound 600,000 cu. meters per year, almost twice the current production with old barges,but below its technical capacity of 900,000. As a switching value, if the values of thebenefits come down to an unlikely 64% of the assumed values, the project would have anERR of 12%.

2. Financial Performance. At the end of 1996/97, KPT's operating revenueconsisted of cargo handling (27%), cargo storage (45%), and ship movement & services(28%). The operating revenue and operating income increased from Rs. 2.4 billion andRs. 519 million in 1991/92 to Rs. 5.5 billion and Rs. 1.7 billion in 1996/97 respectively.During 1991/92 - 1995/96, KPT's operating revenue nearly doubled at an average annualgrowth rate of 23%, representing about 84% of total revenue. These increases inoperating revenue can be attributed to the combination of tariff increases implementedbetween 1991 and 1994, representing an overall tariff increase of 120% during the periodbased against the 1988 tariff schedule. However, the operating revenue increased only by3% between 1995/96 and 1996/97 mainly due to loss of cargo volume to Port Qasim. Inthe non-operating revenue category, interest on number of investments accounted forabout 75% of total non-operating revenue. KPT has invested its net surpluses of aboutRs. 6.9 billion in various Government schemes as required by the KPT Act, earning about15% per annum. The revenue from real estate property management only accounted for

51

8% of total non-operating revenue, which is a nominal amount considering the currentmarket value of properties owned by KPT.

3. The past financial performance of KPT is reflected in its cumulative surpluses, andpositive internal cash generation. The cumulative operating and net surpluses during1991/92-1996/97 amounted to Rs. 7.7 billion and Rs. 11.6 billion respectively, indicatinga very sound financial position. KPT's sound financial position is also reflected by itspositive internal cash generation over the years, which has significantly improved KPT'sliquidity. The current and acid test ratios confirm the improved liquidity of KPT, whichimproved from ratios of 1.6 and 1.4 in 1991/92 to 2.2 and 2.1 in 1996/97 respectively.The working ratio during the period from 1991/92 to 1995/96 improved from 73% to65% as a result of an increase in revenue, which has contributed to KPT's continuedsurpluses.

4. At the end of 1996/97 the term loan (local and foreign) was 1.6 billion Rupees.The leverage ratio (debt/total assets) of KPT of 0.09 times during the period clearlyshows the extent of KPT's solvency. During 1991/92-1995/96, KPT has financed almost59% of capital expenditures through annual net cash flows from its operations andremaining 41% from long-term loan. The rate of return on fixed assets valued athistorical costs in 1996/97 was about 51 %.2 The rate of return on equity is about 22%,which is satisfactory compared to other ports in the region. KPT has a strong capitalstructure with a debt to equity ratio of 11 %.

5. External audit of KPT accounts. KPT has engaged private auditing firm toaudit its accounts. The audit reports submitted to the Bank over past few years have beengenerally satisfactory.

Financial Issues Despite KPT's apparent sound financial position it faces anumber of major financial issues, many of which were discussed in the Appraisal. Theseissues will need to be addressed in any follow-up project.

6. Historical Asset Costs. KPT's operating expenses are understated, since thedepreciation charges accounted for are based on historical costs of assets which aresignificantly below the market value. Under Ln.3335-PAK, an agreement was reachedthat KPT would complete the revaluation of its assets to reflect the re-valued assets onKPT's balance sheet as of July 1, 1993. KPT confirmed that the revaluation exercise wascompleted in 1993, but it is yet to be reflected in its accounts. Also, KPT needs toconduct the physical verification of inventories with the help of private accounting firnsto reflect the actual value on the balance sheet.

Separate and improve accounting systems. Separate accounts need to be based onactivity-wise cost and profit centers including administration and subsidiaries services.Specifically, separate assets and liabilities need to be conveyed to Dredging andEngineering services subsidiaries. In addition, local experts (reputable accounting firms)

2 The estimated 1996/97 rate of return based on revalued fixed assets was about 8%.

will be needed to review the present administrative and technical capacity of the FinanceDivision and to identify areas to be further strengthened including cost accounting,budgetary control, and management accounting system

Reassess real estate leases. The revenue generated from estate assets leased to variousparties is significantly lower than competitive market rates. KPT needs to review thoselease and develop mechanisms to adjust lease payments every 3 to 5 years to bring themto par with going market rates.

Tariff restructuring. About 45% of KPT's revenues come from storage charges. Theoperating results show no decline in storage revenue during the project implementationperiod except during 1996/97, in which storage revenue decreased slightly from thepreceding year. KPT needs to improve the level and structure of tariffs with moreemphasis on cost-related charges. Also, the tariff structure needs to be rationalized with aview to simplifying the tariffs structure and comparing its level with the level of tariffs atsurrounding ports in the region.

KARACHI PORT MODERNIZATION PROJECTPORT V

(LOAN NO. 3335 - PAK)

EVALUATION SUMMARY

OBJECTIVE:

a. Karachi Port, which is located on the south side of Karachi city, handled 8 milliontons of dry cargo in 1989/90 and 11 million tons of liquid cargo. The port has a 4 km longentrance channel (183 meters wide and 12.2 meters deep), and provides access fortankers up to 75,000 DWT and for general cargo/ container ships of up to 22,000 DWT.

b. Karachi Port is a medium size port which is comparison with other regional portsrequired significant improvements, especially in handling of general cargo and bulkcommodities.

c. Beside this, the landside movement of cargo beyond Karachi Port becarneconstrained by traffic congestion. The traffic problem in Karachi is caused by twofactors. First, urban development has generated considerable growth in city traffic,reaching as high as 6-7% per annum in many areas. Second, not only is the port a majorgenerator of traffic, but it is located at a central point in the city road system. Moreover,the landside access to the East Wharf area, which is located on Keamari Island, isprimarily via Jinnah Bridge Phase-I bridge, and landside traffic is thus focused on asingle point on the mainland. Severe congestion is affecting urban and port traffic, andimprovements were required to build now road/ bridge network specially Jinnah BridgePhase-II project.

d. Dry cargo traffic grew at an average rate of 6% per annum during 1979/80 and1989/90, and future trends depend upon developments in Pakistan' major import andexport commodities as well as the growth in general cargo imports and exports which aretied more closely to overall GDP development.

e. The solution to this problem is: (I) constructing and equipping specializedcontainer facilities, (ii) introducing modem second generation mobile quay cranes tohandle containers, multi-unitized general cargo and bulk (whenever unloaded inKarachi); and (iii) constructing specialized bulk handling and storage facilities andequipment would result in berth occupancy of an acceptable rate of 63% in 1999/2000.

58

f. As part of its overall privatization policy , GOP has decided that in future cargohandling equipment is to be purchased and operated by the private sector wheneverfeasible.

g. The growth rate of oil imports depended largely on the growth in the domesticconsumption of petroleum products, since Pakistan's production of crude oil is expectedto remain largely unchanged during the next 10 years. Consumption growth wasprojected to be about 7% per annum, reflecting economic development and theacceleration in the construction of fuel oil fired power stations. A modest growth in otherliquid products (edible oil and molasses) was also anticipated, resulting in overall liquidproduct cargoes increasing from 11.6 million tons in 1989 to 20.1 million tons in the year2000 at a 5.7 % annual growth rate.

h. To deal with this situation, KPT was required to construct an additional oil liquidproducts berth, that would provide liquid product handling capacity of about 19 milliontons per year at a berth occupancy rate of 60%.

Implementation Experience and Results.

a. The project will be completed satisfactorily by June 30, 1998. The closing datewas extended for one years due to a delay in the Karachi Port component which is underthe same loan.

b. Project implementation was satisfactory because all objectives were achieved:Physical components were constructed ahead of schedule, equipment was procured, andthe action plan, training and a study were carried out. Training provided extensivecourses for both managers and workers. The Master Plan and Port Optimization Studyprovided a solid basis for future development, implementation of an action plan improvedthe port environment; port operations became more efficient and physical capacity wassubstantially increased with the addition of the Oil Terminal OP-V and the Port Project.These achievements were partly due to the project's relative lack of complexity and tocoordination between the KPT and the Ministry of Communication (MOC), which hasoverall responsibility for the port sector.

c. The project benefit included savings in: (a) Cargo-handling cost, (b) Ship waitingand berthing time, and (c) cargo time. The economic internal rate of return (EIRR) forproject components in SAR was estimated at 20% percent for Jinnah Bridge Phase II,70% for Oil Terminal V, and 29% for dredgers and barges. The achieved correspondingEIRR on completion of the Project at the end of the loan closing period are, 19.7%,73.1%, and 17.2% respectively. The EIRR for two projects are satisfactory and the lowerEIRR for dredger and barges is due to delay in construction of barges.

d. Cost estimates at appraisal were reasonable. The final cost was estimated at aboutUS $ 57.31 million. In loan amount and disburse amount is due to the saving in foreigncomponent of project.

59

e. KPT financial performance is solid. Although the operational ratio (operatingcosts/operating revenues) was higher than estimated in the SAR (61.8 percent against56.5 percent) due to sharp domestic prices increases in 1992-98, KPT absorbed this byincreasing the amount of container traffic it handled. Since container traffic will mostlikely expand further, KPT's financial condition will remain solid.

f. No environmental or resettlement problems arose during implementation.

Sustainability:

g. At completion, the project appeared sustainable. Because port traffic willundoubtedly grow along with rapid economic development in the Port area , theexpanded facilities clearly needed. In fact, traffic in containerized cargo has soared, andthe project's oil terminal operate efficiently due to the modem facilities and equipmentand trained staff provided under the project. In addition KPT is financially stable and hasenough resources to maintain and operate the port properly, if it maintains its currentoperating scale.

Findings and Lessons Learned:

The finding and lessons include the following:

(i) KPT capably carried out the construction, procured equipment, conductedstudies and developed its organization; KPT completed construction ofberths four months ahead of the schedule with satisfactory quality.

(ii) With regard to the procurement of equipment & work, there is a risk thatproblems will surface when the lowest bidders of Govt. Sector Companiesare awarded contracts.

(iii) Projects should be designed as independently as, possible. Although ttheare separate and independent projects ( the project entities and

activitiesare both different), the Karachi Port Project, implementation of which wason time, could not be closed due to the delay by various reasons and hadto wait for one year.

(iv) Performance indicators with regard to port operations, maintenance andenvironment quality were clearly stated in the SAR ( to monitor theproject's progress) and proved quite useful,

(v) Project design was relatively straightforward and thus avoided problemsof coordination among various agencies; and

(vi) When tariffs are regulated and price increases are high, actual tariffscannot reflect actual costs. It is suggested that some mechanism should beadded into the tariff calculation to reflect actual operational cost.

KARACHI PORT MODERNIZATION PROJECTPORT V

(LOAN NO. 3335 - PAK)

PART I. IMPLEMENTATION ASSESSMENT

A. PROJECT OBJECTIVES.

1. When project was identified in the mid 1985-88, Karachi Port was badlycongested and container berths, bulk cargo berths, port equipment, storage yards andtransport infrastructure ( distribution), were in short supply. In fact, it appeared thatcongestion would threaten the expansion of Karachi foreign trade. To remedy thesituation, the Government began to reform the port in PQA in 1980-81, and graduallyapplied to other ports, through decentralization of responsibilities, which included self-financing of port operations, generating investment funds through internal cashgeneration, and promoting competition among ports for cargo.

2. The main objectives of the project were to make Karachi's handling of OilTankers & general cargo more efficient by constructing special berths with modernequipment. The project also promoted efficiency by rehabilitating existing facilities andtraining both operational and managerial staff. Finally, it optimized future developmentby studying the potential of the port to distribute and transport cargo more effectively andeconomically.

3. Development under the project consisted of:

(a) Construction of Liquid Products Marine Terminal, OP-V.

The new liquid products Marine Terminal OP-V, at a cost of Rs. 575million has been constructed in replacement of existing Oil Piers OP-IIand OP-III, having a capacity of 6 to 8 million tons, provided with modernfacilities for handling POL & Non-POL products and additional provisionof handling crude oil for emergency.

(b) Construction of Jinnah Bridge Phase-II with Flyover Connection.

The Jinnah Bridge Phase II is an extension of the Phase-I Bridge and is athree level traffic junction between the existing roads (15 level) i.e.Keamari Road, Moulvi Tamizuddin Khan Road (New Queens Road) and1.1 Chundrigar Road, (McLeod Road), accomplish by means of a freeflowing elevated roundabout (2nd level) with an elevated flyover (2nd level)

Page 64: IMPLEMENTATION COMPLETION REPORT PAKISTAN Public ... · October 31, 1998. The final disbursement was made on December 18, 1998, and the remaining undisbursed balance (US$6,769,341.29

61

connection to the Mauripur Road, and an Overpass (3rd level) as a directeast-west connection, designed to fully cater for the future increasedtraffic volume in 2015. The layout and alignment of the scheme have beenplanned keeping in mind the future traffic needs of the port and willconveniently mesh into the transportation network of Karachi.

The new structure, (roundabout, flyover and overpass), is a modem,aesthetically planned and elegantly designed State-of the Art ofconstruction. The project has substantially been completed and formalinauguration ceremony was held on 10- 10-97 by the Minister.

(c) Procurement of Bucket Dredging Plant.

I. BUCKET DREDGER:

Stationary type Diesel electric bucket dredger (B.D. AFTAB)arrived at Port on 27-12-1994, under the World Bank loan (3335-PAK)having cost of DM=24,755,912, (i.e.. Rs. 408,472,548).

The dredger was in operation 26-03-1995. The salient feature of theBucket Dredger are as under:

- Capacity of dredger is about 700 Cum/ hour.

- Maximum dredging depth. 20 meters.

- Each Bucket capacity is about 850 liter.

- Chain of Bucket included 56 Buckets.

II. TWO NOS. SPLIT HOPPER BARGES.

Associated work of construction of two Hopper Barges wasawarded to Karachi Shipyard & Engineering Works and the Keel Layingwas carried out in October. 1994. Contract completion date was March1995, which has passed. The progress of work has been extremely slowand seriously delayed. Barges were finally launched during Nov./Dec.1995 and at present approx. 35% work is left for completion. Which is tobe completed by 27-01-99 as per addenda contract signed with KSEW on27-05-1998.

(d) Construction of RCC Quay-Side Pavements and Access Roads.

The existing quay-side aprons in most of Karachi Port area is in apoor state of repair and rails embedded in the aprons make it unsuitable for

working effectively with modem cargo handling equipment. Due to extensiveusage for the last four decades and fundamental changes in cargo handlingbrought about by containerization and utilization, the storage and transit plinthaccess roads and other areas, are in a broken and dilapidated condition, needingre-construction. KPT under the modernization project, has therefore proposed there-construction of quay side pavements of eight berths at East Wharves in aphased manner at a cost of Rs. 400 million in local currency. About 60,000 sq.mhas already been constructed and work is in hand on further similar area. Theapproach road to Keamari Groyne Cargo Complex has been completed at a costof Rs. 12 million. Reconstruction work of quay side pavements of Berth No. 12-13 has been recently completed and further work on other berths is underimplementation.

(e) STUDIES (Technical Assistance) & Training.

KARACHI PORT MODERNIZATION PROJECTPORT V

(LOAN NO. 3335 - PAK)

PART I. IMPLEMENTATION ASSESSMENT

B. ACHIEVEMENT OF OBJECTIVE

This was the fifth Bank-assisted port project in Pakistan (KPT). The KPT hadoverall responsibility for project implementation.

Civil Works: The individual contracts were undertaken for the Oil Terminal(OP-V), Jinnah Bridge Phase-II & Reconstruction of Quay side pavement and AccessRoad. Construction was delayed due to various reasons. The detail of each project(subproject) are as under:

a) Construction of Liquid Products Marine terminal., OP-V.

The new liquid products Marine Terminal OP-V, at a cost of Rs. 575 million with69% foreign currency component, has been constructed in replacement of existing OilPiers OP-I1 and OP-III. It has a capacity of 6 to 8 million tons and is provided withmodem facilities for handling POL & Non-POL products and the additional provision ofhandling crude oil for emergency. The facility was completed by M/s. China HarbourEngineering Company of China and after successful tests & trials the formalcommissioning by the then Prime Minister of Pakistan was held on 23rd February, 1995.

Pollution control equipment under this contract arrived in Karachi in December 1996 andhas been handed over to MPCC.

b) Construction of Jinnah Bridge Phase-1l with Flyover Connection.

The Jinnah Bridge Phase-II with Flyover Connection at a cost of Rs. 933 millionwith 25% foreign exchange component was awarded to China Yunnan Corporation.China (CYC) for completion in 96 weeks and was to be completed by 18-12-95. Thework has been delayed due to lack of expertise, ability, contractual knowledge andmanagement capabilities of the Chinese Contractor. Despite signing of two MOUs inJune 94 and Sept. 95, no significant improvement in MWs. China Yunnan Corporationperformance was observed. Accordingly Contractor's responsibility from China wascalled to have a high level meeting between KPT. Consultant & Contractor, chaired ;by

Page 67: IMPLEMENTATION COMPLETION REPORT PAKISTAN Public ... · October 31, 1998. The final disbursement was made on December 18, 1998, and the remaining undisbursed balance (US$6,769,341.29

64

Chairman KPT from 19-25 March 96, and some improvement were observed. AfterDecember 96, the progress again suffered due to the absence of the Chief ResidentEngineer. In Jan 1997 MWs. LA&P refused to take up further work till their alloutstanding payments are finalized.

High level meetings were held in May, 1997 between the high officials of theContractors, Consultants and KPT. However. M/s LAP did not take up the sitesupervision from May 15, 1997 as committed in these meetings. To resolve this issue,MIs. Indus Associated Consultant were appointed as Engineer for the balance work of theproject with the approval of the World Bank and Govt.

The project has substantially been completed and the formal inaugurationceremony was held on 10-10-97 by the Minister for Communications Mr. Azam Hoti andMadam Chen Muhua Special Envoy of the Peoples Republic of China. The rotary,flyover and overpass have been brought in use. Minor works like footpath, lightingpoles, roads signs and marking painting & energizing electric poles etc. are in hand andwill be completed shortly.

c) Construction of RCC quay-Side Pavements and Access Roads.

The East Wharves of the Port Of Karachi were constructed under the first phaseof Port Development during 1954-60. Due to extensive usage over the last four decadesand fundamental changes in cargo handling brought about by containerization andutilization, the storage and transit plinth, access roads and other areas are in a broken anddilapidated condition, needing re-construction. KPT under the modernization project hastherefore proposed the re-construction of quay side pavements of eight berths at EastWharves in a phased manner at a cost of Rs. 400 million in local currency. About 60,000sq.m has already been constructed and work is in hand on further similar area. Theapproach road to Keamari Groyne Cargo Complex has been completed at a cost of Rs. 12million. Reconstruction work of quay side pavements of Berths No. 12-13 has beenrecently completed and further work on other berth is under implementation.

Procurement of Bucket dredging:

The KPT Board and the Federal Government had approved procurement of a new bucketdredger with two hopper barges in replacement of old and outlived dredging fleet. Thenew plant will have a capacity of 900,000 cum. per annum.

The new Dredger was completed by DWE of Germany in their yard at Deggendorf.Germany. After confirmatory trials and final test/inspection the new Dredger "Aftab",was taken over on March 26, 1995. One year guarantee period has been completed andthe Certificate of Due Performance issued by the Engineer/KPT. The Dredger is workingsatisfactorily.
