The objective of the port feasibility and valuation course – taking place in Rotterdam on 13th, 14th and 15th of November 2018 – is to enable participants to conduct a detailed port feasibility and valuation study. Valuation, feasibility and ppp are the key topics and the course offers an executive insight in the financial models behind that. Participants will follow a 3-day training course, where participants will receive hands-on training on the industries' valuation dynamics.

The course is organized by Port Financial International and in association with MTBS, the leading port and terminal valuation & transaction advisory company.

The course is focused on the following 4 main topics:

  • project & ppp feasibility
  • port valuation and modelling
  • equity valuation
  • bank-ability assessment

The course makes use of a project case, which will follow the logical steps in the project implementation process: from feasibility to ppp Implementation and bank-ability.
Participants will have to take an active role in the 3-day course and be able to interpret the financial results.

Target audience

The port feasibility and valuation course is developed as a training course for a range of professions:

  • Middle/Senior management level officials that are active in the port, maritime and infrastructure sector or direct stakeholders active in the industry.
  • Managers and staff, members of public and private bodies involved in port and terminal developments (both entry level and mid-management).

Prerequisites

For optimal results, a certain level of experience is expected. The participants are required:

  • To speak English;
  • To have a basic knowledge of finance;
  • To have a working knowledge of MS Excel.

Participants are not required to have in-depth financial modelling experience, although such experience can be beneficial for the understanding of more complex modelling topics.

Class sizes are limited to a maximum of 20 participants.

 

The course will provide participants an overview of the logical steps of a Port Feasibility and Valuation Study. Valuation, feasibility and PPP are the key topics and the course offers an executive insight in the financial models behind that. The Course is structured along the phases of Port Valuation: determining Project Feasibility, determining PPP Feasibility & the optimal PPP Structure and assessment of Equity Return & Bankability. The course provides an overview of the most recent developments in Port Valuation, as well as the perspectives of different stakeholders: Public Authorities, Terminal Operators, Shipping Lines, etc. 

Modules
The training course consists of three modules spread over three days.

Materials
Participants will be provided with the following curriculum materials:

  • Course plan & agenda
  • Case study
  • Handouts for all the modules
  • Additional reading

The participants will be provided with a basic financial model, developed by MTBS. This basic financial model will first be used for the project feasibility assessment, then for the ppp feasibility assessment and as a last step for the bank-ability assessment & equity valuation. Participants are required to bring a laptop with MS Excel.

Course outline
Each training day will run from 9am to 5pm and all materials, refreshments and lunch are included in the course fee. Plenty of time will be set aside throughout the training program to review the specific course aspects and reflect within the group. Participants are invited to elaborate on specific port feasibility and valuation exercises from within their own experience/companies. Interaction between the participants on real-life issues is encouraged and is regarded as a valuable addition to the course program.
