  • Deliver more capacity

  • Build a port developer

  • Generate cash flow

Mission critical project for the Government of Indonesia


The financing gap



New Priok Phase 1 was forecast to cost US$ 2.5 billion, in 2010 IPC had:

  • Average EBITDA of US$ 106 million over previous 3 years

  • This implied at best a debt capacity in the order of US$ 600 million

  • Other CAPEX was to be funded by debt in the order of US$ 400 million

IPC had no access to Government funds because of fiscal budget constraints Ways were found to leverage what IPC had to deliver the investment Everything had to be done within a complex regulatory environment There was little international confidence in IPC’s track record on investment or being a Joint Venture partner The project was time critical and had to be done fast track
