The course is focused on the following 4 main topics:
- project & ppp feasibility

For optimal results, a certain level of experience is expected. The participants are required:
- To speak English;
- To have a basic knowledge of finance;
- To have a working knowledge of MS Excel.
Participants are not required to have in-depth financial modelling experience, although such experience can be beneficial for the understanding of more complex modelling topics.

The course will provide participants an overview of the logical steps of a Port Feasibility and Valuation Study. Valuation, feasibility and PPP are the key topics and the course offers an executive insight in the financial models behind that. The Course is structured along the phases of Port Valuation: determining Project Feasibility, determining PPP Feasibility & the optimal PPP Structure and assessment of Equity Return & Bankability. The course provides an overview of the most recent developments in Port Valuation, as well as the perspectives of different stakeholders: Public Authorities, Terminal Operators, Shipping Lines, etc.

The training course consists of three modules spread over three days.
Materials
Participants will be provided with the following curriculum materials:
- Course plan & agenda
- Case study
- Handouts for all the modules

The participants will be provided with a basic financial model, developed by MTBS. This basic financial model will first be used for the project feasibility assessment, then for the ppp feasibility assessment and as a last step for the bank-ability assessment & equity valuation. Participants are required to bring a laptop with MS Excel.
Course outline
Each training day will run from 9am to 5pm and all materials, refreshments and lunch are included in the course fee. Plenty of time will be set aside throughout the training program to review the specific course aspects and reflect within the group.
