Private Sector Participation in the Port Sector Agenda Overview of IFC’s Advisory Services Private Sector Participation in the Port Sector IFC Approach to PPP Transactions IFC Experience in Port Transactions
Private Sector Participation Overview Key factors defining type of private participation include: Port Ownership Role of Port Authorities Relationship between the public and private sectors and their respective roles Most port “privatizations” have tended towards transferring selected port services and/or assets to private or mixed economy companies by means of restrictive leasing, licensing or concessionary contracts.
Role of Port Authority after PSP – retains abilities to control property rights, planning & efficiency A modern Port Authority, acting in close cooperation with private sector companies, typically concentrates its efforts on the efficient performance of a number of fundamental functions, including: Landlord and performance monitoring function Policy-making, planning and development function Traffic control, regulatory and surveillance function Marketing, public relations and promotion function Governments (and port authorities) also retain the responsibility for formulating a policy and/or regulatory reform agenda to serve as an effective basis for private sector involvement, which have often included difficult and transforming legislative, institutional and procedural changes.
Governments benefit from Private Sector Participation Potential for new revenue streams for governments Access to private sector financing freeing Government budgets for social sectors Introduction of Experienced Management and International Trade Benefits Higher Efficiency through the involvement of the private sector Platform for Government Trade Strategies: Establishing a supportive environment and platform for an export-focused economy, and lowering the artificial costs of imported raw materials.
