Rate scheme for determining APIs productivity

The proposed tariff model is a tool that enables and facilitates the API's developing their tariff proposal for the use of infrastructure, based on profitability and competitiveness. It also helps to integrate different areas of the API's on tariff determination, linking the various factors affecting the tariffs, specifying the cause - effect that different decisions have on charging levels. Besides we trained the staff of API´s in operating the model.

An integral strategy of port tariffs

The tariffs model designed by FOA is a tool that allows port administrations ( API´s ) develop their  infrastructure charging  proposal for the use of infrastructure, so that they are substantiated in:

• financial self-sufficiency

• the potential of the market

• productivity and competitiveness

• generate greater certainty, by structuring a realistic vision based on the current situation and feasible development scenarios considering implicit decisions in Port Master Development Programs.

Methodological proposal

According to costs, expenses and investments to be made in the   planning horizon, the model determines:

• Break even tariffs, which constitute the minimum charges to avoid incurring losses.

• Maximum tariffs, determined according to competitive port charges, a reasonable return or tariffs  currently charged.

Tariffs must be in the range between the break even level and the maximum level.

Training on the implementation of the tariffs  scheme

Training  involved the following activities:

• Collection and analysis of information

• Review of the port situation

• Training the staff of the API in financial mathematics and business concepts involved in the model

• Explanation of the model

• Upload information

• Calibration of the model and obtaining results

As a result of the services, the following results were obtained:

• Training of the API´s staff in the operation of the model.

• Break even and maxium tariffs were determined, limiting the range that allows the port to be financially self-suficient and guaranteeing profitability of new investments and existing infrastructure, according to the particular, commercial and competitive condition of each port.
