1.3 The Project
The Bulk Terminal Project was approved by the Economic Co-ordination Committee of the Federal
cabinet of Government of Pakistan. Accordingly, the Port Qasim Authority on behalf of the Pakistani
Government launched in May 2007 a tender to grant the concession rights of this terminal on a BOT
basis for a period of 30 years’ at Port Muhammad Bin Qasim. The bids were evaluated by M/s National
Engineering Services of Pakistan (Private) Limited (NESPAK) and the concession was recommended for
award to PICT (being the holding company of PIBT at that time) in March 2008, and approved by the
Board of Port Qasim in March 2009.
PIBT has been granted, through an Implementation Agreement signed on November 6, 2010, concession
rights for 30 years by Port Qasim Authority (PQA) to build, operate and transfer state of the art fully
mechanized dirty bulk cargo handling Terminal at Port Qasim. The Terminal will have an initial annual
handling capacity of up to 12 million tones of the dirty cargo which will include coal, clinker and cement.
The Company will be the first of its type in the country, incorporating state-of-the-art bulk handling
technology. The Terminal storage area will be built on an area of 62 acre within the remits of PQA. The
storage area will be connected with a 440 meter double berth jetty with an option of the mooring
dolphins, via 2,540 meter long trestle. The jetty containing 2 Grab Cranes, 1 Ship-loader, with the
planned inclusion of mooring dolphins will be able to accommodate 2 Post Panamax vessels of 75,000
DWT each. Estimated cost of project is US$ 185 million.
The project is being implemented strictly in accordance with the project execution guidelines which are
part of the Implementation Agreement. The same is monitored and reviewed by the Port Qasim
Authority through their consultant, NESPAK on regular basis.
Under the Implementation Agreement, Port Qasim Authority has granted PIBT the effective concession
right and license;
 to design, finance, insure, construct, test, commission, complete, operate, manage and maintain
the terminal to handle the import and export of the cargo.
 to demand, collect and retain the Tariff charges from the Customers for usage of the Terminal
and charges for the Services.
Main particulars of the Implementation Agreement;
 Phase I construction entails a minimum depth of navigation channel of 12.5 meters before
completion date and 15 meters in phase 2
 PQA will also provide access road, potable water, and fuel effluent-sewage
 Jetty operations will be governed by the Port Qasim Regulations, 1981

1.4 Location
The project is located at Port Muhammad Bin Qasim, approximately 45 kms along the Kadiro Creek
channel from the Arabian Sea.
1.5 Civil Works
Storage Area
The storage area is a trapezoid shape covering approximately 62 acres. Coal will be stored in open stacks
arranged parallel to the west and east boundaries of the area; the maximum stack height will be 22m.
Clinker will also be stored in open stacks with partitions. Cement will be stored in 5 silos with a capacity
of 10,000 tons each.
The storage yard will also have gate office, administration building, workshop building and electricity
substation with generators, cement silos and compressor station.
Jetty
The proposed location of the Jetty is adjacent to the Kadiro Creek, part of the main 45km navigation
channel. It will be set back from the main channel to avoid interference with ship movements in the
main channel during the construction and subsequent operational phases. The Jetty i.e. designed to be
able to accommodate two panamax vessels berthed simultaneously bow to bow. The Jetty will comprise
of two berths.
The proposed jetty, according to the final design, is a raked piled structure with deck area of 440 meter
length. A-frames assure the correct transmission of horizontal loads into the subsoil. The vertical piles
below crane tracks consist of steel pipe piles, which are proposed for the A-frames. The girder grid
consisting of transversal beams and longitudinal crane beams links all the piles and stiffens the
structure. A thick slab is disposed on top of the beams forming the deck platform.
At the seaside end the jetty is up to 29 m wide to make turning of vehicles easier. At the connection to
the trestle there is a platform for a berth office, a mini workshop and parking space for shovel-loaders
and other vehicles. Part of this platform is located below the quay conveyor gallery.
Trestle
For connecting the Jetty to the on-shore storage area a trestle bridge of approximate 2,540 meters
length and 8.35 m width is proposed. It will also carry utility ducts for sweet water and electrical
services. The bridge consists of a carriageway for the traffic of heavy trucks, and a girder structure to
carry the conveyor and a supporting structure with a piled foundation. The bridge is divided in single
span reinforced concrete beams with a grid-length of 12m.
Page 4 of 23
Dredging and reclamation
PQA is to ensure that navigation channel will be dredged to CD-15.0m that will simultaneously handle
two 75,000 DWT vessels. At present, the channel depth of CD- 12.5 allows vessels of 55,000 dwt that
shall be sufficient for the initial operation of this terminal. PIBT will be responsible for dredging their
approaches immediately in front of the jetty and for routine maintenance dredging of the berth.
The preliminary design requires the storage area to be filled to a level CD +5.5 m plus some extra height
to offset expected settlement. The dredged material may be used in the reclamation of the onshore site
storage area. In the event of the material or a significant percentage is unsuitable PIBT has already
ascertained from PQA and the dumping area for this purpose has been allocated to PIBT.
Utilities
The project will have rain water drainage system installed even though rain is very rare at PQA. Drinking
water will be directly delivered to the office building via trucks. Coal must not come into contact with
sea water. Therefore sweet water will be used for dust suppression. The gate building, the office and the
workshop building will be connected to the public sewage system.
Current Status of Civil Works
Work done as verified by NESPAK is 31.03% by the ECP Contractor.
On March 15, 2012, the Company entered into an Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC)
Contract with a joint venture comprising of a local and a Turkish company. Pursuant to this EPC Contract
the Joint Venture Contractor had undertaken to engineer, procure, supply, construct, install, test and
commission civil works for the Company’s coal, cement and clinker bulk handling facility. Due to the
Joint Venture Contractor’s internal disputes and the consequent inability of the Joint Venture Contractor
to continue working in accordance with the EPC Contract, this contract was terminated.
Subsequently, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the EPC contractor and the
matter was amicably settled.
The Company is now in the process of awarding the contract for residual civil works. The change in the
Contractor will bear minimal cost overruns and the Project will be completed in line with the
construction schedule projected by the company.

have successful track record of establishing and operating modern container terminal at KPT since 2002.
With successful and ahead of time completion of Phase II, III and IV of PICT in 2006, 2007 and 2009
respectively, the capacity of PICT has increased to 750,000 TEUs. The partners include IFC that has a vast
portfolio of port assets around the globe, and they will be stakeholders in PIBT with 20% of total equity
and 29.38% of total debt in the project, providing further credibility to the project.
Apart from extensive experience in similar projects along with in house technical expertise for such

1.10 COMMERCIAL OPERATIONS
The operation of the Terminal will be governed by an Operation Manual which will be developed by the
Company and approved by PQA by the Completion Date. The Operations Manual will also describe the
detailed methodology of the operation of the Terminal and the interfaces of the Company’s procedure
with PQA’s operational procedures and regulations.
The terminal is designed handle up to 12 million tones of dirty cargo. Two 38 ton capacity grab cranes
will unload the coal from the vessels. One overhead conveyor will move coal to open stacks from where
shovel loaders will load the coal to trucks or railway wagons (for overland transport). The un-loaders will
have a reach of 28 m (fully loaded) or 44 m (at 30 tons) and will be capable of barge operations. All
required buildings and utilities are planned to be built in the first phase. Upon arrival at the gate, clinker
will be stored also on open yards whereas bulk cement will be stored in silos. Both Cement and clinker
will be transferred to the ship-loader via the trestle conveyor and the jetty gallery conveyor. These rail
mounted loaders will have capacities of 1,800 tph for bulk cement or 1,200 tph for clinker and an
outreach of 27m.
Presently, with the available water depths in the main navigation channel, ships up to 55,000 DWT are
able to approach the Port Qasim with flood tide. This ship size shall be sufficient for the operations of
phase 1 of the Project. However, in the future the navigation channel is planned to be deepened by Port
Qasim Authority for access of ships of 75,000 DWT, and to achieve that, the PQA will have to dredge the
channel up to CD -15.00 m.
The project will have two berths of total length of 440 m; sufficient to accommodate two Post Panamax
vessels at the same time with a distance bow to bow of 30 m. Night navigation will be available for all
vessels. The extension of the rails to cover both berths also allows handling of coal ships at two berths
when no cement or clinker vessels are in port, which effectively increases berth throughput potential.
Road access to the proposed terminal will be via the existing road network i.e. from the National
Highway down the main approach road leading to Port Qasim, with an access road leading towards the
onshore dry bulk material stockyard. It is intended that the imported coal will be delivered from the
stockyard into road vehicles for distribution to Karachi and surrounding areas, as well as for distribution
up country. Similarly exports of cement and clinker will be delivered by road vehicles and combined with
the delivery of coal, these commodities are expected to exceed 8 million tons per annum, before PIBT
considers the possible introduction of a new rail link development. As part of the IA, PQA is responsible
for providing the site access road.
To minimize dust escape a dust suppression system by water spray will be installed. At transfer stations
between conveyors there will be also water spray. It is worth mentioning that vacuum dust filters would
not work with wet coal and create an explosion hazard with dry coal dust.
Page 10 of 23
Platform scales with load cells will be located at the gate to register the weight of incoming and
outgoing trucks. Belt scales are used to control the amount of cargo handled, although final cargo
quantities are estimated by ship survey. Cement trucks are unloaded pneumatically. A large compressor
station supplies the compressed air. Vacuum dust bag filters are used to clean the air escaping on top of
the cement silos and at conveyors transfer stations. The filters are cleaned by compressed air impulses.
Sample taking equipment is used to collect cargo for the quality control. A fleet of shovel loaders is
required to load coal into trucks, to clean the ship holds and reload clinker to the conveyors for export.
Commercial operations are expected to commence from Second Quarter 2015.

6. Legal Proceedings
On March 15, 2012, the Company entered into an Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC)
Contract with a joint venture comprising of a local and a Turkish company. Pursuant to this EPC Contract
the Joint Venture Contractor had undertaken to engineer, procure, supply, construct, install, test and
commission civil works for the Company’s coal, cement and clinker bulk handling facility. Due to the
Joint Venture Contractor’s internal disputes and the consequent inability of the Joint Venture Contractor
to continue working in accordance with the EPC Contract, the duly appointed representative of the Joint
Venture Contractor notified the Company that the EPC Contract was being terminated. While the
Company accepted that the Joint Venture Contractor had ceased to continue any further work on the
project and that the EPC Contract stood terminated by the Joint Venture Contractor, the Company
disputed the grounds on which the termination notice had been issued. Consequently, the Company
instituted proceedings under Section 20 of the Arbitration Act, 1940 (Suit No. 568 of 2013) against the
Joint Venture Contractor in the High Court of Sindh at Karachi praying that the said dispute be referred
to arbitration in accordance with the parties’ arbitration agreement set out in the EPC Contract.

Association is annexed to this Prospectus and is being published with all issues thereon except those
released as newspaper advertisements.
10. SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
The Company has no subsidiary Company.
11. ECONOMIC JUSTIFICATION
The PIBT project fits in very well in terms of the requirement of the economy to overcome power
shortage while importing coal to be used as alternate fuel for electricity production as well as increased
production of cement in addition to increase exports of cement. It will provide a cost effective and
efficient infrastructure to import coal (a cheaper and reliable form of fuel) to reduce reliance on
expensive imported coal. It will also provide infrastructure for export of cement in the bulk form that
generates better overall margins for the manufactures.
Page 21 of 23
Potential destinations for the Pakistani cement for the coming years are expected to be Iraq, Sri Lanka,
South Africa and East African countries, like Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania.
Recent Government Plans are targeting IPP Conversion to Coal in the next five years of over 10,000 MW.
Most of the indicators and policies point to increase in demand of imported coal. Coal plays a vital role
in electricity generation worldwide and for the Cement Kilns in Pakistan. Coal-fired power plants
currently fuel 41% of global electricity. USA generated 49% of its electricity from coal whereas India
generated up to 46% of its electricity from coal last year. Government of Pakistan has also recognized
this fact and has announced a very ambitious power generation target based on coal. On the supply
side, there is very little being done to explore coal in the country. Pakistan has 21 coal mines, of which
13 are developed. 98% of Pakistan’s coal resources are based in the Sindh region, the largest being the
Thar coalfield. Coal produced in Pakistan is in general high in sulphur and ash content, and coal mined in
Sindh also has high moisture content. The ranking of Pakistani coals ranges from lignite to high volatile
bituminous. The low thermal content / high ash content makes domestic coal less suitable for cement
production and other industrial uses than higher quality imported coal. Cement producers are able to
utilize a blend of domestic coal and higher quality imported coal to meet the requirements of coal-fired
cement mills.
The recent policies of Government of Pakistan for power production based on renewable fuels such as
bagasse and other waste products also support coal as alternative/back up fuel. This is due to the fact
that coal based power generation is economical than RFO. Availability of furnace oil is also an issue in
the medium term as most of its extractable reserves lie in politically troubled areas of the world.
Foreign firms are interested in the Pakistan energy sector, mainly to convert current power plants
(belonging to both public companies and private sector) into coal-fired plants.
The increase in demand of imported coal appears reasonable given that the key advantage offered by
PIBT is the higher productivity which allows vessels to be discharged in a faster time. This should
translate into lower shipping costs for cargo imported via the terminal; either via lower charter costs or
by allowing customers with vessels on a time charter to achieve a greater number of round trip voyages
with the same vessel.
Overall contribution to the country

The Project is expected to:
(i) facilitate overall economic growth by further augmenting Pakistan's transport and logistics
infrastructure through development of the country's first multi-purpose non-food dry bulk cargo
terminal;
(ii) significantly improve overall efficiency in handling, storage and transportation of non-food dry
bulk cargo by way of faster turnaround of vessels at the port as well as increased efficiency in
inland transportation of cargo through road and rail networks;
(iii) enable handling and storage of imported coal in Pakistan in an environmentally responsible
manner while ensuring high level of safety as per international standards;
(iv) provide requisite infrastructure to local cement producers for export of cement in bulk form
thus facilitating access to new markets;
Page 22 of 23
(v) generate additional revenue for the Government through taxation and royalty and lease
payments to Port Qasim Authority (a government owned entity); and
(vi) send an important signal of support to local sponsors for development of sustainable businesses
in Pakistan during a challenging economic environment.
12. MARKETING AND PROFITABILITY
Imports of coal in the country are expected to increase owing to construction of coal fired power plants
and possible conversion of existing RFO based machines, as electricity generated through coal costs
roughly half as compared to the electricity generated through furnace oil. Government of Pakistan has
taken various steps on this front. Power Policy is about generating 20,000 MW on coal and the
government has provided policy incentive for coal conversion for existing industrial plants, allowance for
coal to be used as alternative fuel for renewable based power plants; amongst other initiatives. The
private sector is not far behind as evident by KESC MOU to handle coal for its upcoming 1,200 MW coal
conversion plant. PIBT is constantly receiving queries by textile sectors and other such interested parties
to handle coal import requirements for their power plants.
Faced by power shortages amid high energy costs, the country will have to add power plants to the
national grid to keep up with the required population and GDP growth and all the factors point to coal
as the main fuel for these new power projects going forward as coal is readily available from various
parts of the worlds, easily transportable and storable as well.
Sea based exports of cement is also likely to increase due to excess capacity in the country and stagnant
local demand. Due to high economies of scale, the manufacturers have every reason to increase
capacity utilization once a decent terminal facility is available for export. The target markets for
Pakistan’s sea based cement exports are likely to rebound going forward, post war reconstruction in Iraq
and soccer world cup in Qatar to name a few triggers. There is a definite trend towards investment in
bulk cement import facilities in key markets (Middle East, Africa).
Also, most cement plants operate on coal and hence higher exports of cement will further increase the
demand for imported coal. These factors combine to provide healthy economics for the project. Hence
there is reasonable assurance in terms of business volumes.
As per the business plan issued by HPC the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) is estimated to be 19.1% with a
Payback Period of 9 years.
13. CDS ELIGIBILITY
The Central Depository Company via its notice dates August 13, 2012 declared Ordinary shares of
Pakistan International Bulk Terminal Limited Eligible Security for the purposes of Central Depository
System (CDS) with effective from August 15, 2012.
