Business

The company provides maritime-related services, including cargo handling, storage solutions, logistics services, and other value-added services, to its customers and is evolving into an end-to-end logistics solutions provider.
The company's operations expanded from one port concession in 2002 to nine port concessions as of June 30, 2023.

Risk Factors
The company relies on concession and licence agreements from government and quasi-governmental organisations to operate and grow the business. It has several obligations under these agreements, and a breach of the terms could lead to termination.
A substantial portion of the volume of cargo handled by the company is dependent on a few types of cargo, and a significant reduction in or the elimination of such cargo could adversely affect profitability.
The company and its certain subsidiaries have incurred losses in the past.
The company operates in a capital-intensive industry, and its current and future expansion plans may require significant capital that it may be unable to raise.
The company has substantial indebtedness, which requires significant cash flows to service and limits its ability to operate freely.
The company has yet to place orders for certain equipment and certain civil works for the expansion of projects proposed to be funded through this issue.
