We welcome the move as we believe that the extension of new concession period will likely be more favourable with a better lease term and tariff structure against current concession agreement. A structural step up in port tariffs would be on the cards, as we reckon a revision of port tariffs that was unchanged for the past 35 years is long overdue to keep up with the rising operational cost over the years. This will also generate additional CAPEX to improve port facilities to cement their position as the Emerging Port/Terminal of the Year 2021 and Port/Terminal of the Year - South East Asia 2021.
