“This is a premier project for ICTSI in Australia and the partnership with Kalmar allows us to introduce cutting edge, best-proven automated container handling equipment and technologies to Webb Dock. Kalmar’s strong track record in delivering automated terminal solutions in Australia as well as in other parts of the world will help us to put Melbourne amongst the leading ports of the world.” — Christian R. Gonzalez, ICTSI Head of the Asia-Pacific Region of the world will help us to put Melbourne amongst the leading ports of the world,” says Christian R. Gonzalez, ICTSI Head of the AsiaPacific Region. Webb Dock East is operated and developed by ICTSI Australian unit, Victoria International Container Terminal Ltd. (VICT), a consortium where ICTSI owns 90 percent of the company. Partner Anglo Ports Pty. Ltd. holds 10 percent. Cargotec-Kalmar’s partnership with VICT marks a milestone in Australia’s
port infrastructure development. Australia has shown the way in port automation and Kalmar has played a key role in introducing innovative automation solutions to the country’s leading ports. “We are extremely pleased to have been selected as the main partner in this landmark project. Our proven solutions and experience in port automation will not only ensure superior operating efficiency but also minimal environmental impact in this highly populated area. We are
committed to delivering VICT a highperforming system with best of breed automated port equipment,” says Olli Isotalo, President of Kalmar. The new terminal will introduce fully automated operations from gate to quayside and deliver an estimated capacity of 350,000 TEU in its first phase. When fully developed, the 35.4 hectare terminal will be able to handle up to 1.4 million TEUs annually. Construction of the terminal superstructure and facilities will start late 2014.

ICTSI launches incentive program for Manila truckers With reports from Zinno Gudez
In a move to assist truckers affected by the truck ban, International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI) launched last 2 July an incentive program for accredited truck driver members of the Alliance of Concerned Truck Owners and Organizations (ACTOO) and Confederation of Truckers Association of the Philippines (CTAP). The incentive program, an initiative of ICTSI’s Commercial and Risk Management Department, aims to assist truck drivers who may have been negatively affected by their shortened road travel time as a result of the expanded truck ban in the City of Manila. Manila implemented an expanded truck ban in February to help decongest road traffic. The truck ban had negatively impacted the incomes of truck drivers due to the
truck’s limited engagement time in the delivery of cargo. From four trips a day prior to the truck ban, truckers could only do a trip or two. Truck drivers servicing the Port of Manila are contracted and paid by consignees on a per trip basis. In a related development, the City of Manila lifted the expanded truck ban on 13 September. The following are the winners of the electronic raffle of the incentive program:

ICTSI 1H net income up 23% to US$101.7 M Throughput grows 18% to 3.6 M TEUs, revenues up 23% to US$510.3 M, EBITDA improves 13% to US$212.2 M International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI) reported unaudited consolidated financial results for the first six months of 2014, posting revenue from port operations of US$510.3 million, an increase of 23 percent over the US$413.7 million reported for the same period last year; Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) of US$212.2 million, 13 percent higher than the US$188.1 million generated in the first half of 2013; and net income attributable to equity holders of US$101.7 million, up 23 percent over the US$82.9 million earned in the same period last year. The higher net income attributable to equity holders for the first semester was mainly due to strong operating income from its three geographic segments and gains recognized on the sale of a non-operating subsidiary in Cebu, Philippines; the termination of its management contract in Kattupalli, India; and the settlement of the insurance claims in Guayaquil, Ecuador of US$13.2 million, US$1.9 million and US$1.5 million, respectively. Excluding the non-recurring items, recurring net income would have been three percent higher at US$85.1 million. Diluted earnings per share for the period was likewise higher by 23 percent at US$0.043, from US$0.035 in 2013. For the quarter ending 30 June 2014, revenue from port operations increased 28 percent, from US$204.4 million to US$261.4 million while EBITDA was 20 percent higher at US$108.6 million, from US$90.6 million. Net income attributable to equity holders grew 17 percent, from US$42.2 million to US$49.3 million. Excluding the non-recurring gains from the termination of the management contract in India and the settlement of CGSA’s insurance claims, recurring net income would have increased nine percent to US$45.9 million. Diluted earnings per share for the quarter improved 16 percent to US$0.021 from US$0.018 in 2013. ICTSI handled consolidated volume of 3,566,023 twentyfoot equivalent units (TEU) for the first six months of 2014, 18 percent more than the 3,027,005 TEUs handled in the same period in 2013. The increase in volume was mainly due to the continuous growth in international and domestic trade in most of the Company’s terminals and the volume generated by Contecon Manzanillo S.A. (CMSA) and Operadora Portuaria
Centroamericana, S.A. de C.V (OPC), the Company’s new container terminals in Manzanillo, Mexico and Puerto Cortes, Honduras, respectively. Excluding the volume from the two new terminals, organic volume growth increased one percent. The Company’s seven key terminal operations in Manila, Brazil, Poland, Madagascar, China, Ecuador and Pakistan accounted for 70 percent of the Group’s consolidated volume in the first half of 2014. For the quarter ending June 30, 2014, total consolidated throughput was 18 percent higher at 1,808,928 TEUs compared to 1,530,543 TEUs in 2013. Gross revenues from port operations for the first six months of 2014 surged by 23 percent to US$510.3 million from the US$413.7 million reported in the same period in 2013. The increase in revenues was mainly due to the revenue contribution from the new terminals in Puerto Cortes, Honduras and Manzanillo, Mexico, favorable volume mix, stronger revenues from ancillary services and tariff increase in certain key terminals. Excluding the revenues from the new terminals, organic revenue growth was at seven percent. The Group’s seven key terminal operations in Manila, Brazil, Poland, Madagascar, China, Ecuador and Pakistan accounted for 75 percent of the Group’s consolidated revenues in the first half of 2014. Gross revenues from port operations for the quarter ended 30 June 30 2014 surged by 28 percent to US$261.4 million from the US$204.4 million reported in the same period in 2013. Consolidated cash operating expenses in the first half of 2014 grew 29 percent to US$221.0 million, from US$171.9 million in the same period in 2013. The increase was mainly driven by higher volume-related expenses (i.e., on-call labor, fuel, power

and repairs and maintenance), government-mandated and contracted salary rate increases in certain terminals, increased business development activities, cessation of ICTSI Oregon’s rent rebate program beginning January 2014 and cash operating expenses and start-up costs of new terminals. Excluding the cash operating expenses of the new terminals in the same period in 2013, total cash operating expenses would have increased by only five percent. Consolidated EBITDA for the first half of 2014 increased 13 percent to US$212.2 million, from US$188.1 million in 2013 mainly due to the contribution of the new terminals in Puerto Cortes, Honduras and Manzanillo, Mexico, stronger revenues from ancillary services and tariff increase in certain key terminals. Excluding the impact of the new terminals, consolidated EBITDA would have increased by three percent. Meanwhile, consolidated EBITDA margin decreased by 42 percent in the first six months of 2014 compared to 45 percent in the same period in 2013 due
to the higher port fees and cash operating expenses. For the quarter ended 30 June 2014, consolidated EBITDA increased 20 percent to US$108.6 million, from US$90.6 million in 2013 while consolidated EBITDA margin declined by 42 percent compared to 44 percent in the same period in 2013. Capital expenditures for the first half of 2014 amounted to US$104.5 million, approximately 34 percent of the US$310 million capital expenditure budget for the full year 2014. The established budget is mainly allocated for the completion of phase one development in the Company’s new container terminals in Mexico and Argentina, and to start the development of the terminals in Honduras and Democratic Republic of Congo. In addition, ICTSI invested US$23.9 million in the development of SPIA, its joint venture container terminal development project with PSA International Pte Ltd. (PSA) in Buenaventura, Colombia. The Company’s expected share for 2014 is approximately US$120.0 million.

Parola trash analyzed for livelihood opportunities By Joy Lapuz
The ICTSI Foundation, Inc. recently conducted a waste analysis and characterization study (WACS) in Parola, the host community of ICTSI flagship Manila International Container Terminal.
The WACS activity is part of the Foundation’s Parola Solid Waste Management Project in partnership with the national government, through the environment and social welfare departments, local government units and institutional partner Philippine Business for Social Progress. The study is expected to provide the baseline data to determine the appropriate technology to process solid wastes that will generate additional livelihood for Parola’s urban poor residents. In the conduct of the WACS, 30 of the 62 volunteer EcoPatrols were deployed as collectors, sorters, encoders and recorders. A total of
201 households were used to generate waste samples. Household wastes for three consecutive days, including one weekend day, were collected, weighed and analyzed.
WACS results paved the way for the Parola community to establish a materials recovery facility as required by Republic Act 9003 – Ecological Solid Waste Management Act.

This is followed by residual wastes or those which are not compostable and not recyclable. The study also revealed that highgrade recyclables such as PET bottles are no longer in Parola’s waste stream as these are sold by residents at junkshops.
