Bull,

Where did you get these figs from and what is the projected growth for 2020?
Economic growth is projected to be around 8% in next 5Y plan, I don't have figs beyond 2013 yet.

Economic growth takes into consideration total goods and services produced and consumed in pakistan. While the trade im speaking off is the amount of goods that comes and goes thru these ports.

Here's an an article from yesterday:

Development revolution in the offing at Gwadar: Prime Minister
MASROOR AFZAL PASHA

GWADAR (February 07 2007): Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz on Tuesday hinted that a development revolution is in the offing in Gwadar, which includes setting up of series of new industries after the start of Gwadar Port operation.

Speaking at the signing ceremony of the 'Concession Agreement' between Gwadar Port Authority (GPA) and Port of Singapore Authority (SPA) International-AKD Group here.

After Gwadar Port, the government has approved another big project for this city (Gwadar), the master plan of Gwadar international airport and directed the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) to start its construction, he said, adding that the new airport would attract wide-bodied aircraft for passengers traffic as well as provide base for air freight cargoes.

He said: "A development revolution is coming in Gwadar after the port becomes operational with its allied industries. We have also another industrial areas in the city (Gwadar)."

The Gwadar Port is located on the edge of world's largest hydrocarbon reserves and capable to become energy corridor and we are heading towards it, he added.

Shaukat Aziz said, the Gwadar Port would accommodate mother and panamax vessels in its proximity and encourage feeder services for Middle Eastern ports like Dubai and Salalah ports due to its low port charges.

The Gwadar Port would also serve as a support port for many Middle Eastern ports, especially Dubai port, he said, adding that first vessel is expected to arrive in the fourth week of March which would be a great achievement for the present government.

He said, the government acquired a land area of 500 acres from Pakistan Navy for cargo handling of Gwadar Port. The construction of coastal highway has given a boost to the Gwadar and other coastal cities and would definitely help the third port (Gwadar) of the country, Shaukat said, adding that now we are concentrating on the north part of Gwadar to build a communication link with other parts of the province, especially Central Asian countries.

He said: "The government is committed to protect the heritage of Gwadar city as during my journey, I witnessed lots of fishing boats were in process of construction as in the past such activities were limited." He lauded the co-operation made by the former Chinese Premier for the development, construction and providing funds for Gwadar Port.

Earlier, Aslam Hayat, acting chairman Gwadar Port Implementation Authority (GPIA) and Commodore Muneer Wahid, acting chairman Gwadar Port Authority (GPA) from PSA side, Eddy Teh, the Group Chief Executive Officer of Port of Singapore Authority (PSA) International and Khurram Abbas Chairman PSA Gwadar inked the concession agreement in presence of Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz.

The Group CEO of PSA International, Eddy Teh said the Gwadar Port has now linked with the world's largest and deepest ports that was operated by the PSA group.

"The PSA to work link this port (Gwadar) to facilitate trade and become part of important chain of ports internationally," he added. He said the PSA and members of GPIA work hard and round-the-clock for achieving this agreement.

According to project detail, the agreement has duration of 40 years. Besides, it regulates the rights and obligations of both parties. The GPA will receive revenues (not profit) from the PSA over a period of 40 years. The investment, revenues and income received from Gwadar Port's entire operations are between $23.6 billion to $42.2 billion.

The Concession-Holder Company (CHC) will establish separate three operating companies for each of the above business areas. Where appropriate, the CHC can co-operate with strategic partners at the level of the operating companies.

The GPA expects $5 billion to $8 billion foreign investment in the area of Multi-purpose (MP) terminal and related equipment's to cost PSA at Gwadar Port which would be $1 billion to $1.5 billion; container terminal and others $2billion to $4 billion; the cost of Free Zone development $1.5 billion to 2.5 billion; while the marine services and others would cost $0.5 billion.

The GPA to receive revenues from CHC over next 40 years which is expected between $17 billion and $31 billion. The expected revenues generated from containers and others would be $10 billion to $18 billion; Free Zone to generate $3 billion to $6 billion; while the MP terminal and others would produce $4 billion to $8 billion revenues during the period.

The GPA would receive income from PSA over the period of four decades between $1.6 billion and $3.2 billion, in which the CHC of containers and others would give $0.9 billion to $1.6 billion (9 percent of CHC revenue); Free Zone $0.45 billion to $0.9 billion (15 percent of CHC revenue); and the MP terminal and others would provide $0.36 billion to $0.72 billion (9 percent of CHC revenues).

The Port-CHC manages terminal and cargo operation. The CHC will take over the marketing and operations of the current terminal area, which provides 602 metres of berthing and will invest in and expand berthing space in line with demand during the concession period up to a total maximum of berthing space of 14 berths at an area of 4.2 km.

These facilities will cater for container cargo and miscellaneous cargo. The Marine CHC services consist of piloting, tugging, mooring, and vessel traffic control and anchorage management and related marine services, such as bunkering facilities. The CHC shall expand the fleet of pilot and tugging vessels in line with demand.

The AKD Group would have majority CHC and operate the 'Free Zone CHC' and shall develop and operate this area and market its facilities and services. The area set aside within this concession for Free Zone activities related to the port has a size of approximately 923 hectares.

Bull i got a question for u I don't know why some indians get jealous when they see pakistan growing and some of them start pissing and some of them give some stupid if's and but's.... plzz answer in detail....

 

[Bull]

Bull,

You might want to check out my "Gwadar-jewel in the crown" thread in Economy section.

Here's an an article from yesterday:

Neo i had gonbe thru that report. The article you quoted specifically deals with the arrangement between PSA and GPA. The revenue that GPA will recieve from PSA , investments that PSA would make etc etc. Thats clear.

There was a spare capacity of 47.75 mn tonnes as per my calculations, which would be partially filled in by the 10mn tonnes chineese refinery ( which will increase to 21 mn tonnes later).

So the remaining 35 odd mn tonnes needs an answer.

There was some news of some shoe manfucturing plant / leather manufcaturing plant coming up in free zone. Can anybody get a news on that?

The discrepency in figs is probably there coz you're ignoring the refineries planned by Qatar and Dubai.
Also the mega copper and gold find in Kirthar range will be processed and exported thru Gwadar, production is to commence from early 2009, the field is still under development.

QUETTA, Pakistan - Gwadar port on the Arabian Sea in the southwestern Pakistani province of Balochistan has been handed over to a Singaporean firm, which will run it for 40 years.

The concession agreement for handing over operating rights of the seaport to the Port of Singapore Authority was signed on Tuesday between the Gwadar Port Authority (GPA) and the concession-holder company (CHC), a subsidiary of PSA International. Under the deal, the first ship and cargo will be handled at Gwadar port next month.

Under the agreement, the GPA will receive revenues from PSA over a period of 40 years. The investment, revenues and income received from Gwadar port's entire operations have been estimated at between US$23.6 billion and $42.2 billion.

The concession holder has committed to installing two additional quayside gantry cranes for the handling of containers within nine months. The PSA will also undertake construction of 14 more berths in a 4.5-square-kilometer area beside the existing three berths. The cargo-handling capacity of Gwadar port will be expanded by up to 300 million tonnes from the current 50 million tonnes within the next two decades.

China financed 80% of the project's $248 million initial development costs. In December, a consortium led by PSA won the contract to operate the deepsea port on the Arabian Sea. Under the agreement, PSA will run the port for 40 years, during which time it will be exempted from corporate tax. Pakistan's AKD Group is part of the Singaporean consortium. PSA has envisaged investing $3 billion in the project, of which $550 million would be invested in the first five years.

PSA International is owned by the Singaporean government's investment-holding company Temasek. Strategically located Gwadar will be a significant addition to PSA's global network of deepsea ports. PSA is a global leader in the ports and terminals business, operating 20 port projects in 11 countries - Singapore, Belgium, Brunei, China, India, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Portugal, South Korea and Thailand.

The CHC will establish three separate operating companies for different business areas, which will enjoy a complete - federal, provincial and local - tax holiday for the first 20 years of the concession.

The materials and equipment that will be used in the construction and operation of the port will also be tax-free. Likewise, the bunker oil used in the port or sold to visiting ships will be free of duty. These privileges will remain throughout the concession period.

Under the agreement, the CHC will pay a fixed share of its revenues to the GPA. Pakistan will get a 9% share in income and revenue from the first day for the cargo operations and marine services. Three companies will work under the operator of Gwadar port. One company will manage the port area and cargo operation; the second will handle marine functions such as pilotage; and the third company will operate a "Free Trade Zone". Pakistan will get 15% of the revenue from the Free Trade Zone, where warehouses and other facilities will be constructed by the PSA.

The Free Trade Zone is aimed at developing facilities and businesses that are conducive to the growth of the port. The concession holder will develop at least 20% of required facilities within the zone. The remainder will be developed by either the concession holder or other investors. The exports of goods from the Free Trade Zone into Pakistan or vice versa are subject to normal import and export duties.

As well as being responsible for navigational safety and security, the GPA will develop and maintain the common port infrastructure including access channels, breakwaters and access roads.

The international management-consulting firm Arthur D Little, which has extensive global experience and expertise in port planning and negotiations with port and terminal concession holders, has acted as technical adviser to the GPA during the process.

Under the concession, two terminal areas, including a multipurpose terminal area, will be developed. The terminal areas will be expanded in an easterly direction up to a total length of 4.2km and cater for various types of cargo. The container terminal area is located along the western and northwestern coastline of the East Bay and is to be developed by the CHC.

Initially, the GPA expects foreign investment of $5 billion to $8 billion in the multipurpose terminal area; the cost of related equipment will be be $1 billion to $1.5 billion; the terminals will cost $2 billion to $4 billion; the cost of the Free Zone development is expected to be $1.5 billion to 2.5 billion; while the marine services and others will cost $500 million.

The GPA is to receive revenues from the CHC over the next 40 years estimated at between $17 billion and $31 billion. The revenue to be generated from containers and other cargo is projected at $10 billion to $18 billion; the Free Trade Zone is expected to generate $3 billion to $6 billion; and the terminals will generate an expected $4 billion to $8 billion during the period.

Some ports and shipping experts in Pakistan believe the revenue-sharing formula goes against the country's interests. They contend that the negotiators have overlooked the fact that if the port stopped operating there would be no revenue. According to the experts, the GPA or the national exchequer will bear the permanent costs of navigational-channel maintenance, dredging, security and firefighting.

The experts have also objected to leasing Gwadar port for a 40-year period. They say the longest acceptable long-term contract period is 25 years, mid-term 10-15 years and short-term five to seven years. Even in cases where a port is given over on a "build, operate and transfer" basis and operators bring in all the required equipment, they say the maximum lease period never exceeds 20-25 years.

It is expected that with Gwadar port operational, Pakistan will become a key player in the Persian Gulf region and serve as an energy corridor for Central Asia, South Asia and western China. With the exception of Chahbahar port in Iran, Gwadar will be the only free port between Dubai and Colombo providing container storage and warehousing facilities.

Gwadar has been designed to be operated as a hub port, and it aims to provide better investment incentive packages than regional ports such as the United Arab Emirates' Jebel Ali, Hong Kong, and Singapore. The port project aims to accommodate facilities that will help to develop Gwadar as an industrial city - privately owned warehouses and cold storage, private cargo-handling equipment, truck yards, and corporate infrastructure such as offices along the same lines as Jebel Ali, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore.

As a free-trade zone and as a corridor to the Central Asian republics, Gwadar offers great opportunities for investors. Pakistan has already declared Gwadar a special economic zone and all imports coming through this zone will be exempted from customs duty and sales tax along with concessions on income tax. Pakistan has reportedly decided to give a seven-year tax exemption to industrial and commercial establishments in the Gwadar Special Economic Zone (GSEZ). This is expected to boost both domestic and foreign investment in the area, especially in such sectors as fish-processing, real estate, and tourism-related infrastructure and services.

Moreover, the Ministry of Ports and Shipping has recommended that the GSEZ be exempted from the Foreign Exchange Regulation Act of 1947 and the Protection of Economic Reforms Act of 1992. The Central Board of Revenue is of the view that no area in Pakistan could be exempted from these laws except as provided in the constitution, as in the case of the Federally Administered Tribal Areas and Provincially Administered Tribal Areas.

The challenge before Pakistan is to attract international investors by trumpeting its incentive packages for investment in Gwadar Free Trade Zone.

Pakistan plans to spend $7 billion in the next eight years to improve the country's road infrastructure, completing a network linking China and South Asia through Gwadar by 2014.

Because of its geo-strategic location, Gwadar has the potential to become a regional maritime hub. The 14.5-meter draft of the port will be able to accommodate up to "fifth-generation" ships, including Panamax and mother vessels.

Islamabad firmly believes that the Gwadar port is a key entry point for energy supplies for Central and South Asia, as well as western China. It will allow the expansion of oil trade in the region, as it provides the shortest possible route to landlocked, oil-rich Central Asian states.

Let us not have incorrect facts here. Gwdar never belonged to Bahrain. It was a territory of the Sultanate of Oman. Purchase finalised during Ayub Khan regime in 1961.

The Abu Dhabi deal is finalised, a $5 petro-chemical facility:

February 16, 2007
Abu Dhabi to set up $5bn oil refinery

By Shahid Iqbal

KARACHI, Feb 15: Abu Dhabi will establish a $5 billion crude oil refinery in Pakistan, having a refining capacity of over 100 million barrels per year, reported Middle East’s leading newspaper Arab News on Thursday.

The newspaper quoted a senior official of the Consulate-General of Pakistan saying that Abu Dhabi-owned International Petroleum Investment Company (IPIC) will establish a $5-billion crude oil refinery in Pakistan.

A powerful delegation from Pakistan, led by the petroleum secretary, Ahmed Waqar, held talks with high-ups in the IPIC.

The newspaper quoted Press Consul Dr Mohammad Zafar Iqbal as saying that the Abu Dhabi IPCI agreed to set up Khalifa Coastal Refinery in Hub, Balochistan.

The refinery will have a capacity to refine 102.7 million barrels of crude oil per annum.

The IPIC will hold 74 per cent while the Pakistan government will own 26 per cent stake in the project, Iqbal said.

The ground-breaking ceremony of the project will take place next month. General Shaikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, is expected to visit Pakistan to lay the foundation for the mega project.

Iqbal said the refinery would substantially boost Pakistan’s capacity to refine crude and also create job opportunities for thousands of skilled and unskilled people in the country.

Iqbal said the ground-breaking ceremony would be attended by senior officials from the UAE, including Abu Dhabi’s Crown Prince.

Pakistan Ambassador to the UAE Ahsanullah Khan, Pakistan’s Ministry of Petroleum director-general Sabar Hussain, Parco Managing Director Rasheed Jhang and senior IPIC officials, including Khadim Al-Kubeisi, attended the meeting.

The economic growth in Pakistan has created vast opportunities for oil refining companies to make money as energy demand is rising sharply. It is not only the oil and gas but the power sector has also great potential to yield huge profits for investors.

Pakistan mostly depends on imported crude oil to get refined products.

Experts said that Pakistan provides great support to refineries as the government does not tax crude oil at import stage and tax is imposed on sales in the market. Pakistan pays largest import bill to import petroleum products.

Pakistan is also desperately looking for huge investment in power sector as the demand for electricity is increasing and may turn into crisis if the demand is not met by 2009-10.
