The agreement is expected to enable more efficient shipping at international ports and benefit both companies. EGA already works with Abu Dhabi Ports at Khalifa Port in Abu Dhabi and at Kamsar in the Republic of Guinea. This MoU paves the way for further opportunities through which Abu Dhabi Ports can develop its international business, whilst lowering EGA’s shipping costs through the upgrading of the ports that we use,” Kalban said in a statement. EGA shipped approximately six million tonnes of bulk raw materials such as alumina, coke and pitch from some 20 ports worldwide last year. According to a statement the two companies cited various bottlenecks at ports ranging from shallow channels that only allow smaller vessels to berth, to manual rather than automatic loading, to limited rail capacity at the port that can reduce the efficiency of shipping. Sri Lanka Ports: Prepare for alliance-free mega-carriers The container shipping alliance model could gradually fizzle out as alliance members struggle to differentiate their product while competing purely on price, leaving five or six independent mega-carriers to dominate container shipping in the future.

    FP Bonds — Corporate 2018 1 Introduction FP Bonds – Corporate 2018, the third edition to be published by Grey House Publishing Canada, lists outstanding publicly and privately held debt securities – together with their features and provisions – issued by Canadian incorporated companies, as well as brand new introductory material related to the corporate bond market. Separate tables list convertible, exchangeable, retractable and extendible debt issues. An additional table lists outstanding asset-backed securities. Corporate debt issues outstanding as at May 8, 2018 have been included. An important part of investing in the debt market is determining the quality of a debt issue. Credit ratings are forward looking measures which assess an entity’s ability to make timely payments of interest and principal. As such, a credit rating combines both quantitative and qualitative analysis. FP Bonds – Corporate 2018 includes ratings supplied by Dominion Bond Rating Service(DBRS). The DBRS ratings, dated May 8, 2018, are presented in two tables, in addition to being shown with each issue. The first table lists issues by rating, from lowest to highest. Generally, a DBRS rating of BBB is considered to be investment grade and anything below that could be considered as non-investment grade or high-yield debt. As well, unrated securities are also considered to be high-yield if its spread to a comparable Government of Canada issue is substantially higher than the spread between investment-grade corporate bonds and Government of Canada issues.
