COVER STORY
Basra Gateway Terminal wins Seatrade Middle East Award
B
asra Gateway Terminal (BGT), International Container Terminal Services, Inc.’s (ICTSI) Iraqi unit operating at the Port of Umm Qasr, was recently conferred the “Contribution to the Development of the Regional Maritime Cluster Award” at the 2016 Seatrade Maritime Awards for the Middle East, Indian Subcontinent, and Africa. “We are proud to have been given this recognition by Seatrade. BGT has been very successful in Umm Qasr and at this rate, there’s already a visible positive impact to regional trade. With the completion of our first terminal expansion a couple of weeks ago, we’re looking to play a bigger economic role in the region,” says Hans-Ole Madsen, ICTSI Senior Vice President and Regional Head for Europe, Middle East and Africa. Last month, ICTSI inaugurated BGT’s USD130 million first phase expansion, which adds a 200-meter berth and 300,000-TEU annual capacity to the terminal. At full build, the new terminal area will feature 600 meters of quay and 50 hectares of storage space. “This award is an important milestone for us. It is a great source of pride considering the speed by which we completed this new terminal after operating for only two years at the old
terminal,” says Phillip Marsham, BGT Chief Operating Officer. Held at the Palm in Dubai, the annual awards aims to promote significant contribution and pioneering advancements across the maritime and shipping world. BGT is thus poised to become Iraq’s first port facility capable of servicing 300-meter container vessels. This will be a game changer resulting in increased efficiency, reduced transportation costs, and seamless trade movement between Iraq and the rest of the Gulf region. In 2014, ICTSI signed a contract with the General Company for Ports of Iraq to operate, develop and expand the container handling facilities at the Port of Umm Qasr. The contract includes a 10-year concession covering Berth 20, and a 26-year concession that includes the construction of a new terminal under the expansion component of the project.
We are proud to have been given this recognition by Seatrade. BGT has been very successful in Umm Qasr and at this rate, there’s already a visible positive impact to regional trade. With the completion of our first terminal expansion a couple of weeks ago, we’re looking to play a bigger economic role in the region.

PICT, KMTC sign exclusive deal
Pakistan International Container Terminal (PICT) has signed a long-term partnership agreement with South Korean shipping line Korea Maritime Transport Co. Ltd. Under the deal, KMTC will exclusively utilize PICT’s port services for the next four years. “Our partnership with KMTC will benefit KMTC’s clients and our stakeholders here in Karachi. We are honored that KMTC has chosen to work exclusively with PICT,” said Capt. Zafar Iqbal Awan, PICT Chief Executive Officer. Back in July, KMTC launched its Asia Indian Subcontinent (AIS) service in Karachi with a productivity of 2,600
TEUs per call. The AIS service runs the following port rotation: Qingdao, Kwangyang, Busan, Ningbo, Shekou, Singapore, Port Klang, Nhava Sheva, Mundra, Karachi, Port Klang, Hong Kong, and Qingdao. With more than half a century of full liner service logistics knowledge, KMTC is steadily building its vessel fleets to widen its service boundaries and fulfill customer needs.

SBITC opens first CFS in Central Luzon Located at the NCT-2 premises, SBITC’s container freight station is the first and only facility of its kind in Central Luzon. With the facility completed, SBITC looks to attract more customers to Subic.
Subic Bay International Terminal Corporation (SBITC) recently opened its Dock Container Freight Station (CFS) at the New Container Terminal 2 (NCT 2) of the Subic Bay Freeport in Zambales. Inaugurated last 7 November, the CFS is the first and only facility of its kind to serve the Central Luzon Market. Roberto Locsin, SBITC General Manager, led the ribbon-cutting and welcomed partners from Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority, Bureau of Customs, and ECU Worldwide. “For the past two years, we have been working to improve our services here in Subic to attract more clients. We have the strategic location, manpower and infrastructure to sustain the market in Manila and the growing trade in Central Luzon. With the completion of the CFS, SBITC adds more value to the services we offer,” said Mr. Locsin. The facility, which houses an import and export, dangerous goods and customs area, is capable of stuffing and stripping eight containers simultaneously. SBITC also commissioned a pair of new Jung Heinrich DFG 435 forklifts, which will be used for CFS operations.
Inside the CFS
• 9M2016 throughput grew 12% to 6.4 million TEUs • 9M2016 revenues increased 5% to USD 835.0 million • 9M2016 EBITDA improved 15% to USD 390.3 million
For the quarter ending 30 September 2016, revenue from port operations increased 18 percent from USD 239.9 million to USD 284.2 million, while EBITDA was 30 percent higher at USD 132.9 million from USD 102.1 million. Net income attributable to equity holders was up 53 percent from USD 35.8 million to USD 54.6 million in 2016 mainly due to the strong volume and revenue growth across all three of the Company’s geographic segments tapered by higher depreciation and amortization expenses and lower capitalized borrowing costs at Tecplata in Argentina, and higher interest and financing charges arising from higher average loan balance. Excluding new terminals and projects, consolidated net income attributable to equity holders would have increased by 72 percent. Diluted earnings per share for the quarter increased 66 percent, from USD 0.013 in 2015 to USD 0.021 in 2016. ICTSI handled consolidated volume of 6,435,192 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) in the first nine months of 2016, 12 percent more than the 5,768,248 TEUs handled in the same period in 2015. All three of the Company’s geographic segments in Asia, EMEA
and Americas continued to post positive volume growth for the third consecutive quarter. The increase in volume was mainly due to new shipping lines and services, improvement in trade activities in most of the terminals in the Asia region and the continuing ramp-up at ICTSI Iraq. For the quarter ending 30 September 2016, total consolidated throughput was 15 percent higher at 2,170,559 TEUs compared to 1,880,118 TEUs in 2015. It was the second consecutive quarter of double digit volume growth at all of the Company’s three geographic segments. Gross revenues from port operations for the first nine months of 2016 increased five percent to USD 835.0 million from USD 792.0 million reported for the same period in 2015. The increase in revenues was mainly due to volume growth at most of the Company’s terminals, tariff rate adjustments and new contracts with shipping lines and services at certain terminals, and the continuing ramp-up at ICTSI Iraq. This, however, was partially offset by unfavorable container volume mix and lower non-containerized and storage revenues at certain terminals. For the third quarter of 2016, gross revenues increased 18 percent to USD 284.2 million from USD 239.9 million in 2015. All three of the Company’s geographic segments in Asia, EMEA and Americas posted double digit revenue growth in the third quarter of 2016. Consolidated cash operating expenses in the first three quarters of 2016 was down five percent to USD 310.1 million from USD 326.6 million in the same period in 2015. The decrease was mainly due to the improved operational efficiencies resulting to lower costs of repairs and maintenance, lower fuel and power consumption, combined with lower global fuel prices; the implementation of the company-wide cost optimization initiatives; and lower variable cost at ICTSI Oregon (IOI) in Portland, Oregon, USA. The reduction in cash operating expenses was tapered by increase in variable manpower costs as a result of increase in volume and the cost contribution of new terminals and projects. Consolidated EBITDA for the first nine months of 2016 increased 15 percent to USD 390.3 million from USD 339.5 million in 2015 mainly due to strong revenue growth combined with lower operating costs and effective cost optimization initiatives. Consequently, consolidated EBITDA margin improved to 47 percent in the first nine months of 2016 from 43 percent in the same period the year earlier. Consolidated financing charges and other expenses for the first three quarters increased 38% from USD 48.6 million in 2015 to USD 66.8 million in 2016. The increase was mainly due to slightly higher average loan balance and lower capitalized borrowing costs due to the cessation of the capitalization of Tecplata’s borrowing cost, unfavorable translation impact of certain currencies against US dollar in 2016, and the recognition of solidarity contribution tax and provision for claims at Contecon Guayaquil S.A. (CGSA) in Guayaquil, Ecuador. Capital expenditures for the first nine months of 2016 amounted to USD 297.9 million. Excluding capitalized borrowing costs and expenses, capital expenditures amounted to USD 273.0 million, approximately 65 percent of the USD 420.0 million capital expenditure budget for the full year 2016. The established budget is mainly allocated for the completion of the initial stage of the Company’s new container terminals in Australia, Democratic Republic of the Congo and Iraq, and the continuing development of the Company’s projects in Honduras and Mexico. In addition, ICTSI invested USD 50.1 million in the development of Sociedad Puerto Industrial Aguadulce S.A. (SPIA), its joint venture container terminal development project with PSA International Pte Ltd. (PSA) in Buenaventura, Colombia. The Company’s share for 2016 to complete the initial phase of the project is approximately USD 60.0 million.

International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI) recently reported unaudited consolidated financial results for the first nine months of 2016, posting revenues from port operations of USD 835.0 million, an increase of five percent over the USD 792.0 million reported for the same period last year; Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) of USD 390.3 million, 15 percent higher than the USD 339.5 million generated in the first nine months of 2015; and net income attributable to equity holders of USD 141.9 million, up 4 percent from the USD 136.2 million earned in the first three quarter of the previous year. Net income attributable to equity holders increased primarily due to the volume and revenue growth tapered by higher depreciation and amortization expenses and lower capitalized borrowing costs related to Tecplata S.A. (“Tecplata”), the Company’s new terminal in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and higher interest expense from higher average loan balance. Excluding the effect of new terminals and projects, consolidated net income attributable to equity holders would have increased by 28 percent. Diluted earnings per share for the period was six percent lower at USD 0.052, from USD 0.055 in 2015.
