Development of the port of Poti by strategic investor in the post-crisis world by Andrii Kuzmenko Poti Sea Port Corp. – an APM Terminals company
Statistics ‘000 tons Cargo composition (2011)
APM Terminals acquired 80% of Poti Sea Port Corporation in May 2011 ● Water area – 65.34 ha; ● Length of approach channel – 1.6 km; ●Length of breakwater – 1.8 km; ● Operating area – 30.0 ha; ● Present capacity – 9 million ton; ● After CAPEX capacity – 16-19 million ton; ● Total length of berth’s – 2.9 km; ● Total length of railway - 17.0 km; ● Direct access to hinterland ways; ● 100 hectare of port development area. ●250 ha of free industrial zone nearby. ●Abundant and skilled workforce
Present Poti: first look No depth inside (6-10 m) or on approach (12,5) No turning circle inside (max LOA 160 m) No long berths (150-250 m max) No land beyond the quaywall (60-150 m max) Capacity – 8-9 mio mtPA with little reserves
Modern port requirements Conclusions: Within current boundaries, Poti risks to stagnate. 2. However, thanks to the rail capacity, Poti does have future 3. To remain the major regional port, complete port overhaul is needed, creating at least panamax capacity on the nautical and land-side.
Guesstimate of hinterland traffic forecast after 2020 Conclusions: Above volumes do justify development of specialized terminals. 2. Specialized terminals will allow for highest efficiency within limited area thus reducing the investments and payback period.
What would it take to handle? Required installed capacity – 26,7 mio mt
Ideal Poti: how could it look New approach channel -17 m +2000 m ICT ICT external access road New breakwater + 360 m New terminals Old port area Breakwater extension +500 m -16 m dredging -13,5 m dredging

Poti NG: pros and cons of the proposed layout Significant investments are required
Poti NG: how much could it cost? Is it feasible? Total new quay wall: 2165 m. Total dredging: 3,7 mio m3. Total reclamation: 1,7 mio cu.ms.
While catering for: 1. Bigger ships2. Bigger/on-dock CY.3. Good productivity4. Blocktrain container service Something more realistic is required
Poti: realistic approach #1 Reconstruction of berth 12 • Construction starts in 2013; • Construction to be completed: end of 2014; • Planned length – 285 m; • Planned depth – 13.4 m; • 3 X LHC 550 LIEBHERR harbor cranes;
Poti: realistic approach #2 Reconstruction of berth 12 • Construction starts in 2013; • Construction to be completed: end of 2014; • Planned length – 270 m; • Planned depth – 12.5 m; • 3xMHC
Poti: realistic approach Expansion and connection of ICT ICT parameters ● Distance – 1,7 km ● Available square - 10 ha; ●Expansion in 2013 – 9 ha; ● Bonded road ● Public road; ● Rail link for full train; ● Direct access to hinterland ways; ●100 ha of development area.
Poti: realistic approach Expansion and connection of ICT Background 1. Poti had never had a proper container yard due to lack of storage space in the port 2. That led to the usage of the external off-docks with negative effect on traffic and safety 3. Now 12 ha of container yard will be added which is equal to the 40% of the whole existing port area (29.7 ha) 4. Equipped with modern machinery it will ensure safe and efficient operation 5. New bonded road for port transport, public road and rail connection will be built. • To be completed in March 2014; • Planned area – 10.37 ha; • New rail line – 975m; • Customs road – 1688.2 m • Public road – 1700 m • Parking Area – 5000 m² • Full train handling
Poti: realistic approach ICT and future berth compatibility
Realistic approach: new gate, berth 15, new cranes, reefer racks
Berth 14Multipurpose terminal ● Length – 253 m; ● Depth – 8.4 m; ● Storage area – 13 200 sq. m; ● Equipment – 2 LHM (100 ton each); ● Handling capacity – 250 000 TEU/year;
Berth 7Container terminal ● Berth 7; ● Length – 221 m; ● Depth – 8.2 m; ● Storage area – 16 300 sq. m; ● Equipment – 3 portal crane (40 ton each); ● Handling capacity – 200 000 TEU/year;
Inland Container Terminal(ICT) ● Total area – 8.97 ha; ● Car parking – 654 slots (15 500 sq.m); ● Stripping area – 240 TEU (12 900 sq.m); ● Empty storage – 1700 TEU (5 high, 18 880 sq.m); ● Full storage – 432 TEU (3 high, 15 630 sq.m);
Main points: • Complete overhaul of the old port requires enormous investments • Commercial reality does not support reasonable payback • Nevertheless, port’s key problems must be attended • Thus focused investments and improvements are required • All of above shall be based on the regional growth picture
