Container Terminal Concession Guidelines

Why the container terminal concession guidelines?

• Background:
• The momentum of terminal

concession picked up in Sub-Sahara Africa in the early 2000s

• What was perceived as niche market

has become mainstream:

• Many more players interested than the

‘Africa specialists’

• More ambitious developments
• Despite slow-down in global trade,

container traffic will continue to increase, requiring additional terminal capacity

• New concessions and renewal of

existing ones over the next few years

• The challenges:
• Most concessions were made in ‘crisis

mode’:

• The constraints of inadequate facilities

unable to cope with the pace of containerization of the Africa seaborne trade was an obstacle to growth

• Primary objective was to upgrade of

the container facilities, not necessarily long term vision

• Difficult learning curve:
• New set of issues and skills required

from the port authority

• Asymmetry: ports and governments

negotiating with very experienced international TOCs

What is in it?

• Scope:
• As the title says: container terminals, not

the other types port concessions

• Does not replace other resources (Port

Reform Toolkit, etc.)

• The Guidelines identify critical issues that

need specific attention throughout the process, and also highlight areas where specialized support may be useful to ensure a successful outcome

• Not ‘one size fits all’ approach, but rather

clarify the consequences and rationale for critical choices that need to be made in a concession

• Examples drawn from Sub-Sahara Africa

Background

• The issues, the challenges, the players

The Concession process

• International tender or direct negotiations:

the dos and don’t

Managing the Concession

• Consequences of the choices in the concession

contract, tips and tools for oversight

What next?

• Short term:
• Feedback from port management
• n the guidelines
• Sharing stories/learning from past

experience:

• Things that could have been done

differently

• Things that worked well
• More examples
• Workshops on container terminal

concessions for port MDs

• rganized by the port associations
• Longer term:
• Identify support needed by port

authorities and governments for the future concessions

• Promote sharing of performance

indicators by terminals

• Develop customer feedback loops

Port Performance Indicators

Why PPIs?

• Background:
• Pioneering work from UNCTAD
• Long standing topic for the two

associations and the ports, but different levels of PPI collection, review and publication across ports

• Development of IT (terminal
• perating systems, VTS, Single

Windows) creates new potential data sources (but also challenges)

• The challenges:
• PPIs are mostly seen as ‘nice to have’

and not necessarily part and parcel of port efficiency drive

• Relevance is both local and regional,

short term and long term:

• Local and short term: foundation of

efficiency improvement

• Regional and longer term: optimization
• f regional investment and transport

networks and services

• Transformation of the ports into

landlord authorities: managing the integration of operational data from multiple terminals

The PPIs program with PMAWCA / PMAESA

• Where we are:
• Assessments of what exists and

could be expanded were conducted in 10 pilot ports (Dakar, Abidjan, Tema, Douala, Pointe Noire, Lobito, Maputo, Mombasa, Dar es Salaam and Djibouti

• Synthesis report on main findings:

gaps and practices

• What is yet to be done:
• Complete a second round of data

collection to compile four years 2013 to 2016 inclusive

• Consideration to include Lagos
• Economic note on the 10 (or 11 if

Lagos is included) activity for the four years period

• Development of guidelines on

‘how to collect and use port performance statistics’ (guidelines

• n operational level are lacking)

Requested input from associations & ports?

• Short term:
• Facilitate the second round of data

collection (Q2 2017)

• Reflect on set of recommendations:
• Internal review IT / Corporate planning /

marketing dept. to enhance current set of PPIs

• Integration of data across terminals and

functions (within existing IT systems)

• Improve on dissemination and sharing (port

community and wider audience through Internet)

• Coordination and monitoring mechanisms –

port & Associations levels – to ensure collection/production/dissemination

• Inspiration for other ports?
• Longer term:
• Rethink next generation of IT systems for

port operations and data integration

• Partner with training organization to

deliver the PPIs training

• Sharing PPIs as global public goods:
• Port community
• Development partners
• RECs and regional integration institutions
• Corridor Management Institutions
