Seaport
has assisted several terminal operating
companies to develop proposals for terminal services to shipping lines.
These assignments include:
-
A proposal for cruise terminal services in the
Port of Vancouver for
Western Stevedoring Co. Ltd. in 1997. Seaport developed the strategy and
prepared a proposal for presentation to Vancouver Port Corporation (now
Vancouver Fraser Port Authority) and the cruise lines for the contract to
provide the cruise vessel services at the Canada Place and Ballantyne
cruise terminals in the
Port of Vancouver. A Seaport-led management team of experienced
professionals was established to provide the cruise services and
operations for the client. Seaport co-led the presentation and business
discussions with Vancouver Port Corporation and the cruise lines.
-
A proposal for terminal services in the
Port of Vancouver for a
confidential client in 2001. The client, an operator of a break-bulk
forest products terminal, received from a major forest products shipper a
request for proposals for terminal services that involved containers as
well as forest products. Seaport was retained to evaluate options for
container services at the terminal and to prepare major sections of the
company's proposal to the forest products shipper. Seaport's work included
the preparation of layout plans (developed in association with another
consultant) for the integration of container activities into the terminal,
development of alternative ways of handling containers, estimation of
capital and operating costs, and financial evaluations of the options.
This was followed by preparation of a brief to senior management regarding
the company’s long-term container development strategy, preparation of all
container-related sections of the proposal, including detailed container
tariffs, preparation of other major sections of the proposal and editing
of the overall document.
-
Preparation of a detailed proposal to a shipping line for
container terminal services for Fraser Surrey Docks Ltd. in 2007. Seaport
developed a marketing strategy and prepared a detailed proposal for
presentation to the line to secure container
shipping to this river port container terminal. The work included:
-
Evaluation of important factors to the target container
shipping line.
-
Development of a marketing strategy to attract the line to
the terminal.
-
Development of a detailed proposal to the shipping line.
