  4. What is a port hub? This Day Live. 29 April 2012. PORT HUBS

  5. Criteria forchoosing a port hub • Good intermodal transport possibilities • Optimal geographical location • Minimal deviation • Ability to serve a large number of small markets PORT HUBS

  6. Criteria forchoosing a port hub • Good intermodal transport possibilities • Optimal geographical location • Minimal deviation • Ability to serve a large number of small markets • Port operation & services • Low cost • Reliability • Technological advancement • Regulations and rules • Regional solidity • Safety (e.g. piracy) • Political stability and corruption free • Natural disaster low risk zone PORT HUBS

  7. Consequences of being a port hub • Increased port activity • Investments of major shippingand terminal companies • Job creation • Economicgrowth • Financial benefits duetotaxes • Cheapergoods in port’s country • International power a PORT HUBS

  15. An overview Example CMA-CGM AFRICA

  16. An overview AICD. 2009. AFRICA

  17. Major problems • Big imbalance AICD. 2009. AFRICA

  18. Major problems • Big imbalance • Infrastructure and accessibility • Low road and railway development and maintenance • Old fashioned vehicles and vessels • Low reliability • Under equipped ports AFRICA

  19. Major problems • Big imbalance • Infrastructure and accessibility • Low road and railway development and maintenance • Old fashioned vehicles and vessels • Low reliability • Under equipped ports  Capacity constraints Larger dwell times and higer costs AFRICA

  20. Major problems • Regionalinstability AFRICA

  21. Major problems • Regionalinstability- corruption AFRICA

  22. Port evolution in Africa • Competition to become Africa’s biggest hub • Trend to solve some major problems AFRICA

  23. Case Study: Nigeria Competition to become West Africa’s major hub Realisations

  24. Competition to become West Africa’s major hub AICD. 2009. NIGERIA

  25. Realisations • Privitization • Shift from the service port system to the landlord port model • Financial plans • Improvement of port accesses, both road and rail, to optimize intermodalmovements NIGERIA

  26. Realisations • Privitization • Shift from the service port system to the landlord port model • Financial plans • Improvement of port accesses, both road and rail, to optimize intermodalmovements • Plan and develop the port infrastructure • Increase of performance toacceptable levels, reducedcongestion • Port security NIGERIA

  27. Realisations • Plansfor new Lekki(Lagos) deep waterports NIGERIA

  28. Conclusion

  29. Conclusion • Although interest in port hub development, Africa’s ports lag behind other world regions • Huge effort necessary to improve efficiency, but potential rewards are compelling • Case Study: Nigeria • Privatization initiatives have been a success • Port performance still impeded by wider issues: • port marine and landside access • modernize customs • corruption CONCLUSION
