There is some error on the Senai airport freehold land.. I have amended the figures:
1) Entire Senai airport city - freehold land (831.714hectares = 89,524,946.417 sq ft) - calculate using RM45 per sq ft = RM4billion (based on sales per sq ft of Senai land on 2015), which is 1.23 times of MMC current market value. Not only this, the company owned 96.17 hectares of Freehold land in Pontian, 178,580 sq meters of Freehold land in Klang, 143.4675 hectares of Freehold land in Kulim and other leasehold lands not mentioned here.
2) Company owned 30.9% in Gas Malaysia Berhad, 37.6% in Malakoff Corporation Berhad and 39.24% in Zelan Berhad. Market value owned by the company is 30.9% x 3.39b + 37.6% x 4.275b +39.24% x 101mil = 2.695bil, which is 82.72% of MMC current market value
3) Port assets - assuming they listed their port. According to Bloomberg, they able to list their port on USD1billion, equivalent to RM4.15billion, which is 1.27times of MMC's current market value.
@onesmallstep i see that you are holding GFM...for the past month it was a poster child for trading... Buy go up. Sell drop...its trend has been down past weeks after spectacular 40 percent rise before that....know your stock intimately but dont fall in love with it...
Boustead Cruise Centre does not only comprise a cruise terminal that caters for leisure and special vessels. It also has 70 acres of land that would be valuable to the new owners when they expand their ports.
According to Boustead, the company went into the cruise business with the hope of capturing a slice of the RM72 billion market in the region. However, stiff competition from regional cruise centres did not work in its favour. Boustead stated that even though the business was growing 11.5% from 2015 to 2019, the company was loss-making.
The Covid-19 pandemic dealt the killer blow, causing Boustead to dispose of the cruise centre. Cruise travel is unlikely to restart in the next few years even if there is mass vaccination. Memories of how passengers were stranded in ships for months when there was a Covid-19 outbreak in the vessels remain firmly etched in the minds of many.
The Edge first broke the story of the two port operators eyeing Boustead Cruise Centre last November. It marks the first time the two port operators, which are fierce competitors, are working together.
While Tan Sri G Ghanalingam’s Westport and Northport, which is ultimately owned by Tan Sri Syed Mokhtar Albukhary, grow their business in the downturn, it is a long haul for Boustead, which is saddled with debts amounting to RM7.9 billion.
@Vanbasten9 Yep, I have GFM. But, I hv taken some profits by selling part of my holding. I also added when it dropped to 28 sen and sold when up. Now I added more when it dropped again to 31 sen. So far, gfm has been good to me. Thank for your concern. I will take note of your advice. As for MMC, its my dividend stocks..
3) Port assets - assuming they listed their port. According to Bloomberg, they able to list their port on USD1billion, equivalent to RM4.15billion, which is 1.27times of MMC's current market value.
They are not looking to list the port business at valuation of usd1bil. They actually want to raised from ipo usd1bil. The port valuation will depend on how much stake they are wiling to sell to raised that amount. Assuming they still want control of the port business, let say mmc is willing to sell 40% during ipo in order to end up with a controlling stake of 60%, that would value the port business at usd2.5bil or rm10bil (or around rm3.30 per share)
Port operator PSA Singapore said that like many other ports, it has been experiencing a surge in vessel calls and container volumes. ..........................
“This exceptional situation is due to a confluence of factors, including an unprecedented and volatile surge in cargo demand, congestion across all nodes in the global supply chain (including depots, warehouses and seaports) due to renewed lockdowns, a lack of usable empty containers while laden ones are held up longer at these nodes, and shipping lines’ vessel sailing schedule reliability dropping to 10-year historical lows, causing further delays at almost every seaport worldwide,” said a PSA corporate spokesperson.
Experts have also warned that Wednesday's (Mar 24) blocking of the Suez Canal - one of the world's most important trade routes - by a massive 400m-long cargo ship could also cause further bottlenecks in global shipping.
On Thursday, Singapore's Transport Minister Ong Ye Kung said that a prolonged disruption to the Suez Canal could result in PSA seeing further schedule disruptions as shipping lines reroute their journeys.
Mr Rupesh Jain, managing director for Maersk Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore said the shipping giant had experienced the “perfect storm” in global container trade over the past seven to eight months.
After seeing a double-digit volume decline in the second quarter of last year amid global lockdowns due to the COVID-19 pandemic, demand recovered in the third and fourth quarters of last year and “exceeded anticipated volumes much faster than expected”, he said.
“The upswing in demand was driven by a US-based demand surge with other markets following suit soon after due to a change in purchasing patterns and government stimulus packages,” said Mr Jain.
“All available vessels are in use and it is difficult to secure any temporary additional capacity,” he added.
Container production was also down 40 per cent for the first half of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 which - coupled with unexpected demand recovery - led to a significant drop in the availability of containers globally, he noted.
Congestion, along with lower productivity at terminals and inland depots, with boxes being tied up for longer periods, have also led to bottlenecks, he added.
“As a major transhipment port for the Asia-Pacific region and key Asia-Europe trades, Singapore is not spared,” said Singapore University of Social Sciences’ (SUSS) maritime expert Yap Wei Yim.
“Mismatch between mainline and feeder vessels contributed to significantly longer lay over times for containers sometimes stretching even to weeks,” he said.
Capacity shortages are exacerbated by port congestion, disruptions to vessel schedules and disruptions to repositioning of empty containers, he said, adding that freight rates are being driven up as these problems persist.
Linerlytica analyst Tan Hua Joo noted that a shortage of port labour has also exacerbated Singapore’s situation.
Container demand is likely to remain high with the roll-out of vaccination programmes and the gradual recovery of the global economy, Dr Yap added
“Hence, unless supply issues in the form of capacity shortages are sufficiently addressed, we may see this development extending into the second half of 2021 and even into 2022,” he warned. ...............................
“Extra cargo handling capacity as a backup is needed,” she said, suggesting that more cargo handling facilities and container depots may be necessary to handle such situations.
Port operator PSA Singapore said it has been “ramping up additional capacity and resources, and is working closely with shipping line customers and cargo owners to alleviate the situation”.
"The port of Singapore has taken several steps to alleviate the congestion including taking on new labour from non-traditional countries like Thailand and India, and it has re-activated some of its inactive capacity in the Keppel and Brani terminals," noted Linerlytica's Mr Tan.
"It will also be able to use the new Tuas capacity from the end of this year," he added, referring to the opening of the first phase of the Tuas megaport facility.
“Hence, unless supply issues in the form of capacity shortages are sufficiently addressed, we may see this development extending into the second half of 2021 and even into 2022,” he warned.
