LONDON gATEWAY MARkET STUDYClient: DP WorldMoffatt & Nichol was commissioned by the developer of London Gateway, DP World, to research and generate a detailed market study assessing the competitive position of the new port being developed in the Thames Gateway region. The 1,500 acre project includes a 600 acre, 9 million ft2 logistics park which is on-site behind the container terminals. Moffatt & Nichol leveraged its strong understanding of the UK container port market and supporting logistics service networks to deliver detailed analysis of the current and future container shipping market serving the UK and North Europe, together with a review of the competing regional ports and future container volumes. A thorough assessment of the value offered by port-centric distribution facilities was also outlined. Upon delivery of the final report, Moffatt & Nichol has continued to support both DP World and potential lenders through the lenders’ wider due diligence process.

DUE DILIgENCE FOR SPANISH CONTAINER AND BULk ASSETSClient: Confidential Infrastructure FundMoffatt & Nichol provided specialised commercial and technical due diligence in relation to both Spanish container and bulk assets. The study assessed the commercial operating environment, critically analysing volume, revenue and operating cost projections as well as key customer contacts. The core deliverables were a full lenders’ report and the development of a financial model to establish the profitability of each asset. Moffatt & Nichol also provided full technical due diligence and assessed the current Opex and Capex plans at each facility. Moffatt & Nichol’s findings and recommendations have fed directly into the individual assets’ future business plans.

NEW CONTAINER AND ETHANOL FACILITY IN SANTOS, BRAzILClient: Inter-American Development Bank Moffatt & Nichol was engaged to act as Integrated Engineering and Market Consultant for the Embraport project by IADB. When fully developed, Embraport, located in the Port of Santos, Brazil, will include a 1,100m container quay, 250m mooring pier for liquid bulk cargo, a container storage site of 600,000m2, a 100,000m3 tanking park, a pipeline system, administrative buildings and a bonded warehouse. The assignment included the review of existing studies provided by the developer, followed by a site visit and management meetings to gain a greater depth of understanding of the project. Moffatt & Nichol then produced commercial and technical reports. The loan for the project closed in December 2011 and construction is now over 35% complete. Moffatt & Nichol is continuing its involvement in this US$800 million project, acting as the independent monitoring engineer for construction, commissioning, payment certification and operational phases.

PORT OF gOTHENBURg DUE DILIgENCEClient: Confidential Moffatt & Nichol was selected as commercial and technical due diligence advisor to the project sponsors in support of their bid to acquire a 25-year commission for the Port of Gothenburg’s container terminal. The terminal was established in its present location in the mid-1960s and represents a vital component and natural hub for trade flows to/from Scandinavia. Commercially, Moffatt & Nichol compiled a comprehensive market study and lenders’ report which was supported by a fully functional interactive volume and revenue model. The lenders’ report evaluated numerous economic conditions including the Swedish container market and market share, hinterland cost analysis, competitive opportunities and risk analysis, and liner strategies. Assessing the sponsor’s business case, Moffatt & Nichol completed a validation and critical analysis of its technical achievability, providing a terminal yard optimisation simulation, Capex and Opex reviews and provisions in overcoming structural challenges through a geo-technical review.

POTENTIAL FOR TERMINAL AUTOMATION STUDYClient: Cargotec Leading Finnish-based container crane and specialist port services company, Cargotec, commissioned Moffatt & Nichol to provide a detailed assessment of current and future terminals that could potentially use automated equipment. This detailed assignment involved development of a global terminal database that provided confirmation of where terminal automation is currently in use and where it is planned, along with a number of additional facilities that could, in the future, look to benefit from the use of automated equipment. Moffatt & Nichol provided specific information relating to current and future port infrastructure on a global basis, while also identifying key market trends impacting the port industry, both currently and in the future. These included growth of container ship sizes, supply and demand balance of key trade lanes and regional container port growth, with particular emphasis also placed on supply of port capacity moving forward to meet likely demand.

ITALIAN BULk PORT ADvISORY SERvICESClient: Project Finance Lenders Moffatt & Nichol was appointed as technical/market advisor to a group of lending banks for the restructuring of a €94m loan provided to Terminal Rinfuse Italia S.p.A. (TRI), the largest dry bulk terminal operator in Italy. TRI provides port-related services at three terminals in the ports of Marghera, Savona and Genova. Moffatt & Nichol critically reviewed the company business plan and advised lenders on how the business could be restructured on a sustainable basis; identified the funding requirement to stablise the business and fund capex; led negotiations with the company on sustainable business including recommendation of disposal of poorly performing asset. Each of TRI’s terminals presented unique challenges, which Moffatt & Nichol was able to interpret at a business level for lending banks. With a slumping Italian economy and unexpectedly low throughput thus far in 2012, lenders have been evermore reliant upon Moffatt & Nichol to re-assess the business plan and provide expert analysis and opinion throughout the restructuring process.

IBERIAN COMMERCIAL AND TECHNICAL DUE DILIgENCEClient: Noatum PortsNoatum Ports (JP Morgan) requested Moffatt & Nichol to act as the technical and commercial advisor for this project, which included the acquisition of the controlling interest in a diversified portfolio of terminals across the Iberian region. Following site visits and management meetings at each of the terminals in the portfolio, Moffatt & Nichol assessed all the separate terminals and the portfolio as a whole, creating an independent business plan, with a specific focus on projected revenues, costs and capital expenditure. There was also a requirement for an independent throughput forecast for bulk commodities and containers, which included a Base Case and Low Case till the end of the concessionary periods. In addition, Moffatt & Nichol provided support in the investment decision making process and valuation of the portfolio, attending meetings and participating in discussions around the acquisition process.

ISkENDERUN LENDERS’ TRAFFIC AND TECHNICAL ADvISORY SERvICESClient: Limak Investments, UniCredit Bank AG After initially completing a port master planning study for Limak Investments, a Turkish infrastructure investment company, Moffatt & Nichol was retained by UniCredit Bank AG to act as Lenders’ Traffic and Technical Advisor with regards to raising capital for the construction works. The scope of work included a full commercial analysis and market forecast, technical due diligence and assistance to the Lenders’ advisors with regards to the engineering procurement and construction contract, the operations and maintenance contract, and the required insurance amounts. The market forecast was based on Moffatt & Nichol’s proprietary hinterland growth and least cost market analysis methodology, used to accurately assess the extent of the port’s hinterland, its growth prospects and the anticipated market share capture from competing ports. Moffatt & Nichol worked closely and collaboratively with the bank, the sponsor, and key port personnel throughout the project.
