or 5.75%• Bridge Facility retired in 2014 following a Preference Share Offering• Preference Share Offer introduced at $21 Million and 5.5.% and $15 Million

over subscribed • Long Term Bank debt of $5 Million at Prime + .25%• $3 Million OD Facility “if” needed Prime + .25%

Lessons Learnt• Bridge Financing Deal presented Financial challenges due to

limited flexibility in post development phase• Fixed Rate Preference Share attractive in Economic upturn but

may present finance cost concerns during an extended downturn• In 2010 Multilateral financing was considered and the terms and

process were determined to be too onerous at that time

Why Invest in TechnologyBefore• Truck visit in Port took 50 minutes• Trucker exits truck and assists Terminal operator to locate container• Trucker enters ISPS area and waits for vessel and or Container Discharge• Vessel pre and post operation required considerable time • Generally the ICT systems in the port community operated independently• Customs controls were manual and disjointed• Terminal Operators/Carriers/Stakeholders unaware of individual terminal

performance

After• Truck visit now 20 minutes due to TOS• Trucker does not search for Containers (Safety!)• Trucker only granted access when container is available for collection• Vessel pre and post operations are supported by TOS• TOS introduces an ICT based tool which offers greater control to Port and Customs• TOS supports SOLAS/IMO rules like Container Weight Rule• TOS promotes productivity as performance is easily tracked • TOS partially responsible for a 50% reduction in Vessel time in port
