PROJECT SUMMARY Borrower: Empresa de Puertos de Colombia, S.A. (COLPUERTOS) Guarantor: Republic of Colombia Amount: US$42.8 million Terms: Repayment in 17 years, including four years o' gratLe, with interest at the Bank's standard variable rate. Project This would be the first Bank involvement in the port sub- Description: sector. The project's objectives are to (i) strengthen COLPUERTOS' managerial, financial, administrative and operational capabilities to improve port services and reduce operational costs and (ii) upgrade port capacity by restoring port installations and increasing port productivity to enable the public port system to cope with future traffic demand and ensure adequate support to Colombia's foreign trade. The proposed project consists of (a) civil works to rehabilitate existing port installations and to upgrade port utilities; (b) provision of heavy cargo handling equipment, workshop machinery and tools, second hand tugboats, training equipment and material, and computer hardware; and (c) management, operational, engineering and training consulting services. Risks: The main risks associated with the project are the uncertainty regarding traffic levels and COLPUERTOS' failure to achieve productivity targets. The civil works components are not par- ticularly sensitive to these risks, and, in the case of the equipment components, the risks have been minimized by concentrating on replacement of obsolete items. The project is associated with institutional changes aimed at restructuring the terms of compensation to port labor and establishing a new pension system for port workers, to free COLPUERTOS from the heavy financial burden imposed by the current practices. The changes envisaged will permit COLPUER- TOS to reduce substantiallylabor costs and long-term pension obligations,while improving manpower efficiency, thereby enabling the enterprise to transfer these benefits to port users through better service and lower port charges. The Government and COLPUERTOS have already shown their commitment to these objectives by pursuing actively, through negotiations with the port labor unions, the necessary changes to legally binding labor agreements, and by initiating the legal process to establish a pension system self-sufficient in the medium term and financially separated from COLPUERTOS. -2- Estimated Project Costs Local Foreign Total (US$ million) Civil Works 12.10 11.10 23.20 Equipment - 17.20 17.20 Institutional Development 0.60 3.00 3.60 Project Supervision and Studies 0.90 3.60 4.50 TOTAL BASE COST 13.60 34.90 48.60 Physical Contingencies 1.40 2.80 4.20 Price Contingencies 2.20 5.00 7.20 TOTAL PROJECT COST 17.20 42.80 60.00 Financing Sources: Proposed IBRD Loan - 42.80 42.80 COLPUERTOS' Own Resources 17.20 - 17.20 TOTAL FINANCING 17.20 42.80 60.00 Disbursements: Bank FY 86 87 88 89 90 91 (Project Only) Annual 5.0 11.0 13.0 7.0 4.0 2.8 Cumulative 16.0 29.0 36.0 40.0 42.8 Rate of Return: 38% 1/ Rounding up to the nearest integer. II. THE TRANSPORT SECTOR AND THE PORT SUBSECTOR A. The Transport Sector (i) Characteristics 2.01 Colombia's advantage of having coast lines on both the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea is largely offset by the difficulty of movement between the coasts and the interior. The three massive ranges of the Andean Mountains running the length of two-thirds of the country present formidable obstacles to communication among its main population centers, which, until recently, developed as separate and somewhat isolated regions. The Magdalena River, until the mid-century, provided the only overland route between the Central region and the Caribbean coast and, even so, with serious naviga- tional problems during the dry season. In the 1950s, however, under a drive toward integration and modernization, the transport system began to evolve into a national network. The development of the country's railways, trunk highways and civil aviation has greatly improved inter-regional communication and national integration. 2.02 The effort to establish the basic transport infrastructureabsorbed a considerable proportion of the country's public investment. Transport rep- resented about half of the Central Government's investment in the late 1950s. More recently, with the basic infrastructure in place, transport's share has declined, and, since the late 1970s, it has been around 13%. In 1984, the transport sector accounted for some 8% of the GDP, compared to about 5% in 1950. In the same year, the country's domestic surface transport system moved 25.4 billion ton-km of freight, of which 88% by road, 5Z by inland navigation, 4% by coastal shipping and 3% by railways. Roads and aviation dominate passenger traffic, accounting

  • Modernity and Its Anxieties in Cali, Colombia Transportation System
    KEEP IMPROVING: MODERNITY AND ITS ANXIETIES IN CALI, COLOMBIA TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM By Jose Bernardo Castiblanco Montalvo Submitted to Central European University Department of Sociology and Social Anthropology In Partial Fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Supervisors Prof. Ju Li Prof. Andreas Dafinger CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2018 Abstract The metropolitan areas in Colombia, as well as the metropolitan areas of Latin America, face similar problems related to the urban transport. Despite multiple efforts to promote the use of the MIO in Cali, people are using alternative transport solutions. The present work is a historical approach to understand the multiple processes occurring in the MIO Bus Rapid Transit developed in Cali, Colombia, since the planning for the implementation. In this work, I propose historically informal dynamics have shaped the city building in Cali Colombia. I will argue first, that the implementation of the new urban transport system reflects the historical process of urban planning in Cali. Second, that the city administration depends on their institutional capabilities to respond to the transportation needs within the city. And third, that the governance in Cali, historically requires of informal supply of public services that later are formalize, creating a cycle of informal-formalization that is repeated in the urban planning.

During the past fifteen years Colombia has witnessed a remarkably rapid and dynamic growth in air transport. This period coincides with the establishment and continuous implementation of public policy specifically designed for the air transport sector and airports. Design/methodology: The evolution of air transport in Colombia is evaluated descriptively through the analysis of air transport and socio-economic historical data. The impact of public and investment policies is analyzed through a cause- effect approach. Findings: This paper describes how the air transport/airport industry in Colombia has been directly and positively affected by the implementation of public policies and other legislation, while measuring the effect and impact of this industry on the Colombian economy. Originality/value: This work fills a notorious deficiency in specialized literature concerning air transport in Colombia and Latin America in all its aspects and dimensions. Keywords: Colombia; airports; air transport; airport concessions; Latin America -39- Journal of Airline and Airport Management 5(1), 39-66 1. Introduction Colombian air transport is undergoing rapid and dynamic growth, never before seen in its history, which started approximately 15 years ago.
