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)

Present Poti: first look

Capacity – 8-9 mio mt PA with little reserves

Modern port requirements

Road connection simplified restricted unrestricted

Conclusions:

1. 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

Major commodities Volume, mio mt Relevant capacity Notes

Crude oil 9,7 12,0 Export

Oil products 1,5 2,0 In and out

Containers 5,8 (1 mio TEU) 7,0 (1,2 mio) Domestic and transit

Non-food bulk 4,2 5,0 Coal, ore, cement, fertilizers

Food bulk 2,5 3,0 Grain, sugar, etc

Gencargo 2,8 3,5 Including reefer cargo

Rolling stock 0,6 0,8 Trucks, wagons and cars

TOTAL 27,1 33,3

Conclusions:

1. 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.

Poti NG look: berths & terminals

Poti NG: pros and cons of the proposed layout

Pros ConsSuggests minimum possible terminals/berth construction for a given cargo base

Subject to expansion to the non-available areas

Keeps minimal internal basin area Requires rehabilitation of the breakwater to allow 16 m dredging within

Focuses deep-water dredging next to port entrance, thus minimizing the cost

Seemingly tight on land available for terminals to reach required capacities, will require a deeper study and further prioritization/optimization of terminals borders and available land.

Wherever possible allows for overlaps of the vessels on adjacent berths

Some old berths may be out of operations due to navigational or operational constraints (lack of storage space)

Utilizes available basin and berths layout to the maximum possible

Calls for major investments commitment

Keeps old harbor for coastal trade, not wasting money on its rehab as no storage space available anyway

Has certain extra reserves of old berths to assist neighboring terminals or to handle some opportunity cargo

Utilizes all land available (main bottleneck)

Keeps open bulk handling away of residential areas

Utilizes ICT resources for container terminal

Significant investm

ents are

required

Is it

feasible?

While catering for:

1. Bigger ships2. Bigger/on-dock CY.3. Good productivity

4. Blocktrain container service

Something more realistic is required

Realistic approach: berth 12 and ICT

• Construction starts in 2013;

• Construction to be completed: end of 2014;

• Planned length – 285 m;

Background1. Poti had never had a proper container yard due to lack of storage space in the port2. That led to the usage of the external off-docks with negative effect on traffic and safety3. 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.

Main points:

1. Complete overhaul of the old port requires enormous investments2. Commercial reality does not support reasonable payback

3. Nevertheless, port’s key problems must be attended4. Thus focused investments and improvements are required 5. All of above shall be based on the regional growth picture
