What are PPPs?
• Public-Private Partnership (PPP) is an option to procure infrastructure (infrastructure PPPs) and services (service PPPs), which may provide some incremental benefits in addition to being a means to access private financing for the promoting governments
• There is no universal definition of PPPs✓ Long-term contract between a public party and a private party for the
development/significant upgrade and management of a public asset ✓ Significant transfer of risks and responsibilities from the government to
the private sector✓ Remuneration linked to performance and/or demand for the services of
the infrastructure asset being built
• PPPs may be classified as user-pays PPPs (funding of the payments is based in charges to users e.g. tariffs) or government-pays PPPs (funding of payments is based on the public budget)
• PPPs are not the same as privatization

How PPPs work?
3
Traditionally under a PPP system, the whole process is bundledtogether and handed over to a single entity that is organized as a “Special Purpose Vehicle” (SPV)
SPVs occupy the center of the structure, designing, building, financing, operating, and maintaining the infrastructure asset in a way that delivers services to the public in accordance with the PPP contract
Government is still engaged, regulating the activities through the contract, and paying the SPV directly, or authorizing it to collect user fees
Finally, the government takes over responsibility for the asset from the SPV at the end of contract period

Risks
• Limited or none commercial financing
• Political instability during mid 1990s
• War risk surcharge by insurance industry
• Attack on the International Airport near Colombo in July 2001
• During this time many vessels used ports in neighboring nations
• However, when the surcharge was removed in March 2002, traffic returned to Sri Lankan ports.
Political Risk – Resumption of Civil War
• Weak investor confidence
• High volatility of currency risk as a spill-over effect from the currency shock from Asian economies (high depreciation of others)
• General trend of capital outflow from Asia
Macroeconomic Risk – East Asian Financial Crisis

transport and logistics system
Maximize potential for value creation in

Optimal Integration
Landside transportation
Optimal integration with each mode,

Demand
Configuration of shipping networks

Programmatic approach
Without the prospect of scale economies, difficult to attract
interest of terminal operators to invest in,
