i. The Association has been asked to assist in financing engineeringand consulting services and studies required for construction of furtherberths and facilities in the port of Karachi. The proposed credit of US$1million wfould be granted to the Government of the Islamic Republic ofPakistan which would relend it to the Karachi Port Trust (KPT). The creditwould cover the foreign exchange cost of the services estimated to be 60%of the total cost.
ii. The port of Karachi is heavily congested and further berths areurgently needed. It is expected that the studies will lead to an applica-tion for a construction loan early in fiscal 1971. Sites for eight newberths have been identified which could be in use by the end of 1975. Nofurther space would then be available in the present port basin. Sincetraffic is expected to corntinue to increase, KPT has requested a UNDPgrant to study development of the Western Backwater area, which the MlasterPlan recommended for future expansion.
iii. KPT has received two Bank loans -- 126-PAK for US$14.8 millionin 1955 which was disbursed by 1962 and 376-PAK for US$17.0 million in1964. The closing date of the latter has been extended from June 1969to June 1972 as a result of unforeseen difficulties with the design andconstruction of four of the berths. The berths have now been redesignedand construction will shortly go to international competitive bidding.The performance of the borrower on both loans has been satisfactory.
iv. The KPT administration is competent and experienced but theaccounting system has not kept pace iath modern developments. For sometime, the Association has urged KPT to install a system of managementaccounting. KPT has now agreed to this and the cost of the necessarystudies has been included in the credit.
v. KPT is financially strong and would be able to finance any costoverruns and service the credit.
vi. The credit would be made subject to the usual rules and proceduresof the Association with regard to the employment of consultants.
vii. lWrith the agreements reached during negotiations the proposedengineering and consulting services project is suitable for an Associationcredit of US$1.0 million to the Government for 10 years including a graceperiod of two years. It will be relent to KPT for the same period at theprevailing interest rate of the Bank. Should a subsequent constructionloan or credit be made the credit presently proposed should be refinancedfrom proceeds of such a loan or credit.

APPRAISAL OF PROPOSED CREDIT FORENGINEERING AND CONSULTING SERVICES
1. INTRODUCTION
1.01 The Government of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan (the Govern-ment) has requested the Association for a credit to be utilized by theKarachi Port Trust (KPT) for consulting services for the following pur-poses:
(a) final engineering for a further expansion of portcapacity within the currently developed area;
(b) a feasibility study to determine ways to lower theimport and export cost of petroleum products;
(c) an adequate management accounting system; and
(d) economic analysis of the proposed expansion.
The Project would be financed in part by an IDA credit of the equivalentof US$1.0 million to be repaid in 10 years. It would be made to theGovernment of Pakistan and relent directly, at the Bank's prevailinginterest rate, to KPT.
1.02 The engineering designs would provide the basis for a subse-quent construction loan to KPT. It is anticipated that the constructionproject could be appraised in October 1970, by which time final engineer-ing desigas would have been prepared and potential contractors prequali-fied. For the engineering portion of the credit, this procedure wouldgive a smooth transition from design to construction.
1.03 A preliminary estimate of the maximum cost of construction worksnow envisaged is US$48 million with a foreign exchange component of aboutUS$15 million. Until the various studies have been completed it is notpossible to ascertain the amount of any future construction loan.
1.04 KPT has received two Bank loans: 126-PAK in 1955 for US$14.8million and 376-PAK in 1964 for US$17.0 million. The work financed bythe first loan was satisfactorily completed in 1962. As of November 30,1969, US$7.9 million of the second loan had been disbursed against com-mitments and orders of US$119 million. The remaining work, consistingof four berths and transit sheds, is now out to retender. The originaldesign was modified by the consultants following discovery of unsuitablesoil conditions. KPT decided, with Bank concurrence that the modifieddesign was too expensive; it suspended the work, discharged the consult-ants, and appointed a new firm of consultants (Lackner and Partners,Federal Republic of West Germany) who have produced a new and acceptabledesign for construction. As a result of these delays, the Bank hasextended the loan until June 1972 when it is expected that the work will
- 2 -
be completed. Claims by the previous contrac-tors and consultants have notyet been finalized and may go to arbitration. This, however, mill notaffect KPT's performance under the loan since they have sufficient fundsto meet any eventual award.
l.o5 This report is based on information obtained from KPT by a mis-sion consisting of G. F. Bain (Port Specialist) and D. C. Elliott (Finan-cial Analyst), which visited Pakistan in September 1969.

2. KAPACIr, P0T TRUST
A. Background
2.01 The port of Karachi is the only port serving West Pakistan,which has an area of over 300,000 square miles and .a population of some60 million. Tonnage handled at the port has risen from about 2.5 milliontons in 1948 to about 8.5 million tons in 1969. About 4.5 million tonsconsist of mixed general and dry bulk cargoes, the balance being petroleumproducts.
2.02 With the establishment of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan in1947, the role of Karachi altered from being mainly an export port tobecoming the only port of a large part of a new nation. In the followingyears port facilities were improved by:
(a) building a second oil berth in 1954;
(b) reconstructing 13 berths frcn 1956 to 1964;
(c) building a third oil berth in 1965;
(d) building a ship repair jetty in 1966; and
(e) building a new lighterage wharf in 1967-1968.
2.03 The current Bank loan (376-PAK) has not yet been entirely dis-bursed for the reasons mentioned in paragraph 1.04. A summary of the pro-gress of the six schemes included in this loan is given in Annex 1. Theloan covers construction of the third oil pier, the two lighterage berths(already completed) three berths on the W4est wharves, reconstruction offour berths on the tast wharves, together with supporting services andequipment; rebuilding a brealkwater and dredging the navigable channelto 34 feet. The loan also provided for consultant services to producea Master Plan for the port.
2.04 The result of these various construction and development pro-grams is that room for further expansion in the present deepwater basinof Karachi is limited as can be seen from Map 1 showing the port as itwill appear when the current loan is disbursed. Yet the port is overlycongested with berth occupancy in the past two years being just over 100%.This has been achieved by double banking of ships, which is the onlypractical means of preventing an increase in the average delay of shipswaiting for berths. However, unloading costs of double banked ships arehigher than for ships alongside quay walls.
B. Organization and Administration
2.05 The Karachi Port Trust Act of 1886, as modified subsequently,created a Board called "The Trustees of the Port of Karachi", commonlyknown as the Karachi Port Trust (KPT). Section 79A o' the Act subjects
- 4 -
all acts and proceedings of the Board to the control of the Government.The Board is a body corporate consisting of 11 tru.stees representingshippers, importers and labor. The Chairman, who is also a trustee andthe chief executive of the port, is appointed by the Government. He isresponsible for the day-to-day administration and holds office as theGovernment may prescribe. The trustees normally have a two-year term.
2.06 The Board has far reaching powers and, subject to the over-riding right of veto by the Government, may raise money, enter intocontracts, alter tariffs, buy equipment, undertake construction and sellassets. There has been no interference in the Board's exercise of thesepowers which have been used prudently and to the benefit of the Port andits users.
2.07 The functions of the KPT are carried out by five major depart-ments assisted by service groups and a secretariat. The major departmentsare:
(a) Civil Engineering;
(b) New Construction;
(c) Traffic;
Cd) Port and Pilotage (Conservator's Department);
(e) Mechanical and Electrical Engineering.
Servicing these functions are accounts, stores, medical, welfare and publicrelations, civil defense, police, and real estate departments plus asecretariat. These functional departments are each headed by competentand experienced men.
2.08 Of the service departments, the most important ones are Account-ing and Stores. The Accounting department is not geared to produce use-ful management data because KPT is required to provide data related tothe budgetary processes of the Government; and the Stores Department whilewell run has some related accounting problems. These problems are discussedlater in paragraphs 6.03 and 6.o4.

3. TRAFFIC
A. Shipping
3.01 During the past nine years between 1,400 and 1,600 vessels peryear entered Karachi with 1,405 dry cargo vessels in 1968/69, approxi-mately the same number as in the two previous years. However, the tend-ency has been for larger vessels discharging a larger amount of cargo.
3.02 Coastal vessels trading mainly between East and West Pakistanand with countries bordering the Arabian Sea use Karachi; in 1967/68 therewere 279 clearances and entries by such vessels.
B. Operations
3.03 The average time for cargo operations was about 87 hours pership in 1968/69 compared to 112 hours in the previous year. Overall,about 35 tons of cargo per ship per hour were handled in 1968/69.Allowing for the large proportion of older ships with restricted workingspace, the port is well and efficiently operated and general-cargo han-dling rates are high compared to North American and European ports.
3.04 Congestion of the general-cargo piers can be measured by thefact that 12 of 19 operating berths showed calculated ship-day occupancyof over 365 days in 1968/69. This was accomplished by double-bankingships and unloading them both onto the wharf and into lighters which weresubsequently unloaded at shallow-draft berths.
3.05 Average annual tonnage handled per berth has risen in recentyears well above the tonnages reported in the previous Appraisal Reportdated April 7, 1964 (No. TO-401b). Comparative figures are, in tons:
The decline in the last three years from the high point of 1966/67 isdue in part to the increase in the number of berths in operation andin part to the virtual cessation of imports of wJheat which previouslyaveraged 1.2 million tons a year. There has, however, been an increasein imports of fertilizers and general cargo and new exports such ascement, rapeseed, fish and rice have supplemented traditional exports,indicating a probable rise in dry cargo in the future.
-6-
C. Cargo Trends
3.06 In fiscal 1968/69 about 8.45 million tons of total cargo werehandled at Karachi, up from 4.166 million tons in 1957/58 (see Table 1).Although there has been a decline in dry cargo during the last two years,this is due to the cessation of imports of wheat, while other dry cargohas continued to increase. The growth rate of total cargo over the 11-year period for which consistent statistics are available was 6.75% perannum compounded, a somewhat more rapid growth than over the past 20years when traffic increased at a compound rate of 6.25% per annum.
D. Traffic Forecasts
3.07 Several forecasts for traffic through the sort have been made -a Bank mission forecast in 1964, the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU)forecast in 1967 and the Pakistan Planning Commission and KPT forecastin 1968 (see Table 2). KPTts forecast of port traffic which is amongthe more conservative is given for reference:
There are various factors which may affect the growrth rate of cargo andfacilities required in the port of Karachi. They include the likelytrend toward containerization, the quantity of grain which may passthrough the port and whether it is to be bulk or bagged, the timing ofthe proposed steel mill, the possibility and location of a second portand the general rate of economic growth of both the city of Karachi andPakistan as a whole. No attempt has been made in this report to evaluatethe probable effect of these factors. They will be taken into considera-tion by the UNDP study mentioned in paragraph 4.01.
3.08 However, assuming the most conservative rate of growth or evennone at all, expansion of the port facilities is needed to deal withpresent congestion.
4. THE PROJECT
4.0l The present deepwater area of Karachi port is almost fullydeveloped. The Master Plan drawn up by the consultants (Messrs Coode andPartners) under loan 376-PAK, identified the Western Backwater (see Map 2)as the next area for port expansion where deeper-draft berths for con-tainer traffic and bulk-handling facilities might be built. The UNDPhas been approached by KPT to finance the economic, traffic and engineer-ing studies required before a decision on development in the Western Back-water can be properly made. These studies will take into account thevarious traffic forecasts already made, probable future trends and divi-sion between various types of cargo and the possibility of a second port.The studies are estimated to take approximately two years and reclamationof land, final engineering and construction a further six years. There-fore, no berths in the W4estern Backwater would be available before thebeginning of 1979.
4.02 Meanwhile berths are urgently needed to deal with the presentcongestion and expected increase in traffic. Four additional berths willbe available by 1970/71 when the current construction program will becomplete. But, due to increases in traffic, tonnage per berth will stillbe over 200,000 tons per year and berth occupancy will remain close to100%. By 1975 further berths are essential if congestion is not to in-crease. The purpose of the studies to be made under the proposed creditis to provide the basis for the timely construction of these berths.
4.03 Two possible areas where eight berths might be built have beenidentified. A plan for providing storage areas behind these berths hasbeen developed. A rebuilding of the Mansfield railway marshalling yardto better serve the entire Western berthing area and reduce congestion isalso proposed. Rebuilding the Napier Road bridge to the east berthareas is also needed and this important link would be included in anynew construction (see Map 2).
4.04 Prior to applying to the Bank for a construction loan for theseworks, KPT wishes to proceed with a study to compare alternative designsand provide final engineering design and economic justification of theselected solutions.
4.05 Two other items are proposed. One is a feasibility study ofalternative methods of reducing the costs of crude oil imports to WestPakistan by making provision to handle large tankers. The other item isfor accounting services so that a system of commercial accounting com-patible with the present system of budgetary accounting can be developed(see paras. 6.02 to 6.o4).
4.o6 The project for which funds are now required, therefore con-sists of the following elements:
(a) Engineering surveys and soil surveys to establishconditions for estimating the cost of proposed works;
- 8 -
(b) Preliminary engineering designs and cost estimates for anumber of alternative designs for anticipated cargo berthsand sheds;
(c) Final engineering designs and cost estimates for the selecteddevelopments, together with the preparation of tender documents,construction schedules, specifications and bills of quantities,prequalifications of tenderers and invitation and evaluationof bids;
(d) Preparation of final designs for rebuilding the Napier RoadBridge together with tender documents, construction schedules,specifications and bills of quantities;
(e) A feasibility study, including preliminary cost estimates andengineering designs, of various methods of handling increasingoil traffic. This study would calculate the economic advan-tages of using larger tankers;
(f) Final engineering designs, drawings and cost estimates forthe selected method;
(g) An economic justification in terms of cost-benefit analysesand return on investment for the solutions finally selectedunder the previous paragraphs; and
(h) Accounting consulting services to enable and assist the Boardto install a management accounting system consistent with thecurrent system of budgetary accounting.
4.07 The estimated cost of these services is:
Rs ('000) US$ ('000) Expendi-Local Foreign Total Local Foreign Total ture
1. Soil and Site 670 140 810 140 30 170 11.6Surveys
The cost of the dejigr of berths arnd sheds is based on a negotiated contractwAith Dr. Lack1ier and Partners of Gerirmany. The cost of other studies hasbeen based on estimates made by KPT and reviewed by the Association. Termsof reference for these studies have been drawn up and agreed to by theAssociation and proposals invited from consultants acceptable to the Asso-ciation. Since over fifty per cent of the foreign exchange cost of studiebis based on an initialled contract a contingency of US$70,000 would appearto be adequate.
4.o8 The Association will disburse the foreign exchange portion of thestudies on the basis of agreed contracts approved by the Association andcertified invoices. KPT has agreed to meet the local exchange cost and anycost overruns and the Government has agreed to make available to KPT anyforeign exchange required for this purpose.

5. ECONOMIC JUSTIFICATION
5.01 In the past eight years, annual tonnage handled at each of theoperating dry cargo berths has ranged from about 145,000 to 267,000 tons.The average for all berths worked, and this includes berths 3 and 44, whichare umder reconstruction, was 233,200 tons in the year July 1, 1968 toJune 30, 1969. Some 12,140 tons of cargo were handled each day over the 19operating berths or, in 1968/69, about 650 tons per berth per day (see Table 3).
5.02 Congestion in the port is reflected in the high average berth occll-pancy figures for the past several years. These figures range from 125% oc-cupancy in fiscal 1966/67 to 109% and 101% in the two follooing years. Thedrop in overcrowding reflects the introduction of the various new facilitiesconstructed under the current loan as well as a change in the mix and tempo-rary decline in dry cargo tonnage due to the elimination of wheat imports(see para. 3.05).
5.03 The cost of ship waiting time plus the added cost of double handlinigcargo from double-banked ships was estimated at US$3.8 million in 1968/69as shown in the Table below. At unchanged traffic levels the constructionof eight new berths (to give a total of 32 in the port) implies that berthoccupancy would decline from 101% to 64% and that these costs would beeliminated. With forecast 1974/75 dry cargo traffic and 32 berths, occupancywould be about 80% rising thereafter. To achieve this situation some US$21.0million would have to be spent on the new berths.
Costs of Ship WpJaiting and Double BankingKarachi 196b/68
5.04 By spending US$21 million or new berths, the waiting and doublebanking costs can be eliminated saving costs, calculated on present con-gestion, of US$3.8 million per year. This would result in a rate of returnXf 17.55 on the investment in proposed berths indicating that the proposedconstruction would be well justified. In the absence of agreed traffictrends, it is difficult to calculate the future cost of congestion if con-struction does not take place. It would certainly be higher and the rateof return of 17.5% is therefore a conservative rate.
5.05 Should this investment not be made, the persistence and probableincrease in congestion would result in shipping co-panies applying sur-charges to Karachi cargoes with consequent adverse effect on the Pakistaneconomy.

6. FINTACIAL ANALYSIS OF KARACHI PO.RT TRUST
6.01 KPT's financial position is strong and it is able to make a sub-stantial contribution to the proposed future expansion of the port. However,the accounting function is weak and part of the proposed credit is for ac-couinting studies to remedy this. The accounting function and financialposition are discussed in detail below.
A. Accounting
6.02 KPT's accounts are kept in accordance with the traditional portdouble account system. They are audited twice a year by auditors from theDepartment of the Accountant General of Pakistan in accordance with Section68 of the Karachi Port Trust Act of 1886. The latest audit (August 1969)covered the half year up to June 1968. The Association has reviewed theaudit report and found it acceptable.
6.03 The port double account system presents many disadvantages.Appropriations are made frcm revenue to reserve accounts such as deprecia-tion reserve on an ad hoc basis depending on the financial results of theyear. The expenditure accounts mainly represent payments made during theperiod rather than the expenses of the period. Stores accounting is ofnecessity a hit and miss affair since the main ledger is based on paymentsand the stores ledger is based on cost, and reconciliation is difficultif not impossible. A revision of accounting procedures was made in 1961within the framework of the double account system. It has not provedeffective. Little or no management information is produced except in rela-tion to the budget. DeternBnation of costs is on an ad hoc basis and re-quires considerable effort. hle balance sheet slhows only original costof those assets purchased by the Trust. It does not include the value ofland.
6.o4 The Association has for some time been urging the Port Trust tochange its accounting methods and introduce proper management and costaccounts based on the accruals system of accounting. KPT has agreed to thisand terms of reference for an accounting study have been drawn up and sentto consultants acceptable to the Association. An amount of US$80,o00 hasbeen included in the credit to enable these studies to be made.
B. Finances
6.o5 Revenues and expenses for the years 1963/64 through 1967/68 areshown in Table 4 and cmipared with the forecasts in the Appraisal Report ofloan 376-PAS. With the exception of the year 1965/66 in wqhich special cir-cumstances prevailed, net surplus has been consistently higher than fore-cast and debt service has been adequately covered.
- 13 -
6.o6 Projected revenues and expenses for the years 1968/69 through1974/75 based on KPT tonnage forecasts are shown in Table 5 and summarizedbelow in millions of rupees:
Net Revenue 34.37 40.20 45.18 58.48Interest 3.79 3.39 3.09 6.39Net Income 30.58 36.81 42.09 52.09Operating Ratio 63 61 59 61
6.07 Revenue is based on current tariffs and increases in trafficbased on KPT forecasts. The increase in revenue is li1kely to be achievedprovided that the physical facilities to handle the cargo are completed ontime. There is no reason to believe this will not be the case. Operatingexpenditure is shown increasing as fast as revenue but the operating ratiois maintained below 65. As a result, net income increases from PRs 30.58million in 1969 to PRs 52.09 million in 1975 and is able to make a substan-tial contribution to the funds required for capital investment. Financialassumptions used in projections are shown in Annex 3.
C. Cash Flow
6.o8 K-PT's financial strength is illustrated by its projected cashflow shown in Table 6 and summarized below in millions of rupees:
1969/75
Intemnally generated funds 361.37Loans 137.30
498.67
Capital Investments 437.5oRepayment of Loans 63.17
500.67
Decrease in Woriking Capital 2.00
498.67
Less than one-third of the funds required for capital investment is financedby loans, the remainder being provided by KPT's own resources.
- 14 -
D. Balance Sheets
6.o9 The projected balance sheets which are given in Table 7, furtherillustrate KPT's strong financial position. They show net fixed assetsincreasing from PRs 338 million in 1968 to PRs 699 million in 1975. Duringthe same period the long term debt rises from PRs 100 million to PRs 174million only and the debt equity ratio increases from 16:84 to 17:83.
E. Financial Covenants
6.10 The previous loan (376-PAK) made in 1964 did not include anyparticular financial covenants other than that cost studies should becarried out. KPT has managed its financial affairs well in the past andit is not felt appropriate to attach any further obligation t,o this credit.KPT were however informed during negotiations that financial covenants mightwell be attached to any future construction loan or credit.
- 15 -
7.01 During negotiations the following principal points were discussedand agreed with the Government-and KPT:
(a) The employment of consultants and the terms of referencefor the various studies included in the project (para. 4.07);
(b) Tne financing of local exchange and cost overrun by KPTand the provision of any foreign currency required forsuch cost overrur. by the Government (para. 4.o8);
(c) The introduction by ITT of a management accounting system(para. 6.04).
7.02 With the assurances and agreements reached during negotiations,the proposed project constitutes a suitable basis for an IDA credit of US$1.0million to the Government for a period of 10 years including two years grace,to be relent to KPT for the sane period at the Bank's prevailing interestrate. Should a subsequent construction loan or credit be made as a resultof these studies the credit presently proposed should be refinanced fromouch loan or credit.

APPRAISAL OF PROPOSED CREIETFOR ENGINEERING AND CONSULTING SERVICES
Status of Present Construction Loan 376-PAK
Progress on Loan 376-PAK to the end of September 1969 follows:
(a) New Oil Berth. Completed and in commission sinceJanuary 1966.
(b) Widening and Deepening of the Navigable Channel.The dredging and reclamation plant, received in Karachiin May 1968, was commissioned in September 1968, i.e.,three months ahead of schedule, and dredging operationsare progressing satisfactorily. The shallow-draft"Ellicott" cutter-suction dredger has reclaimed al5-acre triangular plot.
Tenders for the sea wall reclamation dyke for reclaimingabout 45 additional acres for port purposes and procuringbuoys and chains for mooring relays have been receivedand are being examined.
(c) Reconstruction of Berths 1 to 4, East Wharf. Constructionof the quay wall for Berths 1 to 4, the Return and theCommissairat wharves started in September 1966. Work atthe site progressed satisfactorily up to June 1967, whendifficulties in laying a rubble stone apron for foundationof a gravity blockwork quay wall led to suspension of workby the consulting engineers. Later it was decided to aban-don the blockwork quay design for Berths 1 to 4 and retenderthe work. New designs have been approved by new consultantsand tenders are to be issued soon.
The vorlc at Return 'Wharf was recommenced during January 1968according to a modified gravity quay design and is almostcompleted. Progress of work at the Commissariat Wharfalso improved and work is substantially complete exceptfor cathodic protection.
