COVER STORY

BGT inaugurates terminal expansion

Expansion is Iraq’s first foreign-financed port infrastructure

Basra Gateway Terminal (BGT) has opened a new terminal at the North Port, Umm Qasr.

The inauguration, which was led by Enrique K. Razon Jr., ICTSI Chairman and President, marks the successful implementation of the first fully foreign-funded port infrastructure in Iraq.



The first phase, which costs USD130 million, includes a 200-meter berth (Berth 27) and adds 300,000-TEU annual capacity to BGT. At full build, the new terminal area will have 600 meters of quay and 50 hectares of storage space.

During his inaugural speech, Mr. Razon emphasized ICTSI’s commitment to Iraq: “Today represents a milestone in the development of Iraq’s shipping infrastructure. ICTSI’s commitment to Iraq is evidenced by major investments in the upgrade of existing Berths 19, 20 and the construction of the new terminal incorporating Berth 27.”

He adds: “Modern and reliable infrastructure, equipped with state-of-the-art quayside and landside handling system is critical for sustainable economic growth. We are confident that the new terminal area will boost efficiency and speed up the movement of import and export cargo, supporting Iraq’s rapid economic growth.”

Also present at the ceremony were Dr. Majid M. Al-Nasrawy, Basra Governor; Mr. Riyadh Swadi Shamkhi Al Hammad, General Company for Ports of Iraq (GCPI) Port Director; and Elmer G. Cato, Charge d’ Affaires, en pied and Head of Mission, Embassy of the Philippines; together with ICTSI senior management. The inauguration was also attended by senior delegates from the growing portfolio of shipping lines that use BGT.

Phillip Marsham, BGT Chief Executive Officer, noted that the fast-track development and on-time completion of the new terminal area was made possible through ICTSI’s good working relationship with the GCPI and other Iraqi government agencies.

“This is a special day for BGT and Umm Qasr Port, with the project completed on time. The support of the GCPI and all the government agencies involved made this possible. BGT is now well-positioned to build on the considerable progress already made in delivering high-caliber services in line with international standards of port operation,” says Mr. Marsham.

Summarizing the combined impact of ICTSI’s comprehensive investments, Hans-Ole Madsen, ICTSI Senior Vice President and Head of EMEA Region said: “BGT is set to consolidate and expand its position as Iraq’s premier multi-purpose container terminal. With the investment in modern infrastructure, handling systems, and supporting IT systems as well as extensive staff training, BGT will progressively raise the bar in container and general cargo handling operations in Iraq.”

In addition to the new equipment and IT systems, BGT has also invested heavily in the training of its workforce. Majority of BGT’s workers are from the local community.

ICTSI successfully prices tender offer, new perpetual securities issuance

International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI) successfully repurchased USD 345.5 million of its outstanding perpetual securities via a tender offer, funded by the USD 375.0 million issuance of new senior perpetual securities. The liability management exercise allowed ICTSI to further strengthen its capital structure while realizing significant cost savings.

OPC’s HSSE program put to the testBy Evelyn Leiva

Last September, Operadura Portuaria Centroamericana (OPC) in Puerto Cortes, Honduras, carried out two important activities in line with International Container Terminal Services, Inc.’s (ICTSI) Global HSSE Program.

The Honduras Designated Authority (ports), together United States Coast guard representatives visited OPC last 21 September to review the company’s compliance to security processes and the ISPS Code. The visit is part of the International Port Security Program (IPS). Established in 2003 by the US Coast Guard, the IPS reinforces the implementation of the ISPS Code as part of the US Maritime Transportation Security Act.

During a preliminary meeting, OPC security and safety managers explained how OPC complied with the certification process. They also discussed the current security measures implemented within the terminal, followed by a tour around the facility. The visiting authorities expressed satisfaction with OPC’s compliance, saying that in critical areas, OPC exceeds the minimum requirements of the ISPS Code.

In the same week, OPC, in coordination with the local fire department, conducted

a safety drill featuring a scenario with sodium hydrosulfite toxic gas and fire. OPC’s emergency response team, supported by Security and Operations departments, took part in the drill. The fire department mobilized fire trucks, an ambulance, and their HAZMAT unit. The activities included establishment of on-scene command, incident assessment, victim assistance and evacuation, firefighting, decontamination – all in

compliance with the MSDS and ERG. In 2008, Puerto Cortes had a real case with Sodium hydrosulfite toxic gas, which is still handled in containers at the terminal.

Both activities provided a good opportunity for OPC personnel with HSSE duties to test their level of preparedness, as well as internal and external communication. They also provide OPC with the opportunity to make the necessary improvements in related issues.

On 13 October, ICTSI and issuer Royal Capital B.V. (RCBV) announced the results of the RCBV’s offer to security holders of its 6.25 percent senior perpetual capital securities callable in 2019 (NC19 securities) and 5.50 percent senior perpetual capital securities callable in 2021 (NC21 securities), which together with the NC19 securities, the old perpetual Securities, both guaranteed by ICTSI, offered to tender old perpetual securities for cash.

An aggregate nominal principal amount of USD 345,453,000 in the old perpetual securities was submitted by security holders in the tender offer of which USD 160,314,000 comprised tenders of the NC19 securities and USD 185,139,000 from tenders of NC21 securities. RCBV offered security holders a price of USD 1,067.50 per USD 1,000 in principal amount of the NC19 securities and USD 1,057.50 per USD 1,000 in principal amount of the NC21 securities. ICTSI and RCBV accepted all tender instructions submitted.

In addition, RCBV successfully priced a USD 375,000,000 offering of new senior perpetual capital securities, guaranteed by ICTSI. The new perpetual securities were structured to constitute equity under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and represent ICTSI’s third successful issuance in this format.

The new perpetual securities confer a right to receive distributions at a rate of 4.875 percent per annum and were priced at 99.225 percent. The new perpetual securities shall rank pari passu with all other outstanding unsubordinated obligations of RCBV, who will have the right to redeem the new perpetual securities on 5 May 2024 and any semi-annual distribution payment date thereafter. The rate of distribution for the new perpetual securities will be reset every five years from 5 May 2024 and will increase by 2.50 percent per annum on 5 May 2024, in each case if the new perpetual securities were not already redeemed by RCBV.

Consistent with the requirements for equity under IFRS, the RCBV may resolve, at its discretion, to defer payment of distribution otherwise payable on a distribution payment date.

The new perpetual securities were widely distributed with fund managers accounting for 46 percent, private banks for 30 percent, and banks for 24 percent. By geography, Asia took up 82 percent with Europe at 18 percent.

The transaction is significant in several respects. The tender offer is the first such transaction targeting repurchase of USD perpetual securities in Asia this year. Meanwhile, the new perpetual securities achieved the longest non-call date for any Asian corporate hybrid security to date. ICTSI remains the only Philippine issuer to have offered USD senior perpetual securities in the international debt capital markets. Moreover, the new perpetual securities set a record-low USD distribution rate for a Philippine corporate perpetual security, a significant reduction relative to the NC19 Securities and NC21 Securities.

Rafael D. Consing, ICTSI Senior Vice President and Chief Financial and Compliance Officer, remarked, “This capital management exercise is strategic and value accretive in many respects. The two most important of which are the extension of the call duration on almost half of ICTSI’s outstanding senior perpetual securities, and securing guaranteed annual cost savings from the lower distribution rate. We are pleased to have achieved these objectives particularly given the volatile market backdrop.”

Citigroup Global Markets Ltd., The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corp. Ltd. and Standard Chartered Bank acted as joint lead managers and joint bookrunners for the new perpetual securities issuance and as dealer managers for the tender offer.
