This is the presentation made by me and my colleagues for our Shipping project. It contains images of improvised containers challenging and hence increasing size of the container market.
This document summarizes a workshop on valuing a container terminal. It discusses that BMT develops three coupled models to value a concession: a throughput model to forecast container volume, an operational model to simulate terminal operations and development, and a financial model to construct profit and loss statements and balance sheets over the valuation period. It provides details on the valuation process and components of the throughput and operational models, including assessing the hinterland and competition to determine tariffs, and modeling costs, capacities, and capital expenditures.
The document summarizes the economic impact of the cruise industry in the Canada/New England market. It finds that over the past decade, cruise capacity in the region has trended upward and accounted for 1.5-2% of global cruise capacity. Direct spending by cruise lines, passengers, and crew totaled $1.1 billion in Canada and $19.1 billion in the US in 2007 and 2008 respectively, supporting thousands of jobs. A typical port call by a 2,500 passenger ship generates between 114-136 jobs through spending by passengers, crew, and cruise lines.
Toyota's brand suffered a downfall worldwide due to immediate acceleration accidents occurring while driving, which led Toyota to conduct large recalls in both Japan and other countries. While Toyota recalled around 200,000 Prius vehicles in Japan, the brand seems to be bouncing back in 2014 after suffering damage from the acceleration issues and recalls.
Este documento trata sobre la axiología y los valores. Explica que la axiología estudia los valores positivos y negativos. Luego clasifica y define diferentes tipos de valores como valores morales, estéticos, religiosos e intelectuales. También habla sobre las virtudes como la prudencia, justicia y templanza. Por último, define la anomía como la falta de normas sociales y cómo esta puede originarse, así como algunas acciones para contrarrestarla como la responsabilidad social y la formación profesional.
There are several types of public forums where free speech rights apply to different degrees. Classical forums like streets and parks allow broad expressive activity and exclusion based on subject matter or viewpoint is prohibited. Dedicated forums made for expressive purposes have similar protections. Limited purpose forums, like municipal auditoriums, can restrict activity to specific categories but not viewpoints within those categories. Non-public forums have the most flexibility for subject matter restrictions and possibly viewpoint restrictions as well. The degree of allowed speech restriction decreases moving from non-public to classical forums, but other factors like economics and politics also influence forum policies.
The document provides an overview of a company's business performance from January to September 2013. Key points include:
- Net profit increased 6.8% compared to the same period last year, with solid operating leverage and key ratios outperforming industry peers.
- The main business areas - Equity, Clearing & Settlement, and Information - saw revenue increases, while Listing revenues stabilized.
- Investment flows channeled through the exchange continued strongly in 2013, up 27.7% year-over-year, demonstrating companies' use of the market to strengthen their balance sheets.
- Cost control measures kept expenses largely in line with revenues across most business lines, supporting improved margins.

Fathom Shipping - Growing Technology Sectors in MaritimeFathom Shipping
This is the material Alison Jarabo, Director at Fathom Shipping presented at Moore Stephens Investment Opportunities in Shipping, London, 15th january, 2015.
The material discusses key figures and trends in the shipping industry as well as what they mean for the shipping investment community for the next year.
Logistics are such a hard thing to manage and the better the information the better the results. M2M has the ability to impact logistics in a manner that has not been seen since railed and shipping standardized containers. What does the future hold for logistics management and how can M2M be used to make just-in-time services even better?
This document discusses the impacts of globalization and technological changes on ports. Containerization has led to reductions in ship time in port and berth time as well as personnel requirements for cargo handling, raising berth productivity and capital intensity. Future ship and crane designs will continue to drive the need for increased port productivity. Growing ship sizes mean lower costs per container as productivity increases. Ports must improve to accommodate larger ships to remain competitive. Information technology and security are also changing port operations and services to customers.

1) Cost-cutting along fresh produce supply chains can undermine resilience if not approached strategically. Supply chains need flexibility through variable cost models, global networks, and responsiveness.
2) Leading supply chains focus on minimizing category 1 costs while protecting investments in talent (category 2) and strategic initiatives (category 3) that drive profitability.
3) Building flexibility through collaboration and agile practices allows supply chains to adapt to volatility without resorting to unsustainable cost-cutting. Leaders invest in capabilities like visibility, complexity management, and sustainability.
Deswik-IPCC2013 Presentation-Scenario based analysis of IPCC trade-offsDeswik
This presentation was delivered by Deswik at the I-M Mining IPCC 2013 conference on 14th October 2013.
The presentation outlines a recommended approach for assessing the viability of In Pit Crushing and Conveying (IPCC) for mining operations. The key point is that modelling MUST include both the proposed system as well as other conventional fleet areas of the mine, modelled as a single system. This allows identification of system interactions and fatal flaws that are evident only in a combined mine plan model.
In previous years multiple presentations called for development of mine planning software that is capable of effective IPCC planning. Deswik commenced work in February 2013 on addressing this need, and have formed a partnership with industry experts RWE to ensure the result is fit for purpose. This presentation illustrates techniques that use the first results of this endeavour.

16. Financial Assumptions
1. To calculate break even for each slot, a unique concept of ‘Slot per mile’ is introduced. This concept is definitely new
in the Container industry but same concept is used in airline industry to calculate breakeven for calculating
‘Available seat per mile’.
2. For first seven of our selected routes, Financial calculation is carried out to check the robustness of pricing system and
breakeven calculation.
3. Time Charter rate for calculation is based on Data obtained from Freight Forwarder in India
(This is an approximation, as slot rates are available only between two ports without multiple port handling)
4. Capital cost for procuring containers and its equipments are based on quotation received from one the manufacturers
(approximation)
5. Average data for port handling charges and distance is taken from www.csav.cl and www.axamarine.com.
For the simplicity of financial calculation, port handling is taken as constant.
6. Also, in difficulty of getting data for inland transportation, an average of $100 per slots is taken for 300miles.
Also, WACC is based on 10% is based on similar company’s financial data and risk free rate of 4% is taken. Sales revenues is
increasing at a rate of 7.2% per annum ( Projected growth of most of the container liners in year 2011). Inflation is ignored.
7. All the above assumptions, may affect the credibility of financial calculation. But at large, it is not affecting
company’s profitability because of its nature of pricing of each slot. All variable costs are passed to the customers.
Variable cost for the customer includes VAT and cargo insurance.
8. Unique way of slot pricing for customer will help the company and investor’s in mitigating all price risk.
9. A projection of cash flow, balance sheet and profit and loss statement is prepared for next 5 years.
17. Contain Solutions is forecasted to have an Internal rate of return
(IRR) of 29% over a period of ten years. The NPV has been
simulated for varying WACC’s using 1000 iterations the NPV is
found between $ 8.25 and $ 25.12 million at 90% confidence
interval.
The start up expenses amount to $ 8.6 million and the company
requires an additional $ 3.78 million during the first year of
expansion of its operations.The capital allocated for the purpose of
this project far exceeds the funding required in turn eliminating
external sources of funding in the near future.
Possible Exit Strategy
The Exit strategy we have is to sell the time charter slots to other
freight forwarders and sell off the containers in the container leasing
market. Since, the company‟s investment on fixed costs is minimal,
it provides a strategic advantage to exit the market easily.
18. Conclusion
1. Contain Solutions will aim to increase the value for its investors.
2. The company, with it’s extensive marketing, route selection and planning, consolidation of NVOCC under the
company’s name and fail-proof financial planning will definitely expand the horizon of containerization by providing the new-age containers.
3. Company’s deep in-sighted dictum ‘transporting values’ incorporates values concerning investors, social value,
value for its employees, values for international rules and regulations.

Testimonial:
I have read thro' your presentation and it reads well. I think you have presented the facts in a logical way and it
makes for an interesting proposal – Rita Barnish , Experienced Sale and Purchase broker
Your plan shows that you understand that FAK means Freight All Kinds
and show that you understand that "The major drawback with containerisation is dealing with LCL
(Less Container Load) cargoes." > "Less than full Container Loads" as opposed to FCL = Full Container Loads.
Your idea, names, figures and tables are excellent ! – Jeffrey Blum , Director Interlink International Trading.
