CORPORATE INFORMATION

 

Mercator Limited was incorporated on November 24, 1983 as private limited company with name as Mercator Lines Private Limited. It was converted into limited company vide ROC approval dated April 12, 1984. The name was changed to Mercator Limited vide ROC approval dated November 22, 2011. The Company has directly and/or through its subsidiaries diversified business verticals viz. Shipping (tankers and dry bulkers), Dredging, Oil and Gas (EPCIC and E and P), Coal (Mining, Procurement and Logistics).

 

 

OPERATIONAL AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

 

Mercator Group has diversified operations with its own fleet of Tankers, Bulk Carriers; Dredgers and a Floating

Production Units (FPU). Mercator also has coal mine licences in Indonesia and Mozambique. Mercator has signed Production Sharing Contract with Government of India in respect of two oil blocks in the Cambay basin in Western India awarded under NELP-VII. Mercator, in consortium, has been awarded a contract by ONGC for conversion of Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit (MODU) into Mobile Offshore Production Unit (MOPU).

 

 

COAL MINING, PROCUREMENT AND LOGISTICS:

 

Mercator has economic interest in 3 coal mines in Indonesia and 1 in Mozambique. Mercator has further established itself as a coal procurement and logistics provider and has been considered as a preferred and reliable coal supplier from Indonesia.

 

During the year; the new coal mine at Batuah, Indonesia commenced commercial operations. This project was operationalised within 20 months Mercator has executed the entire project including construction of about

26 KM haul road; bridges; jetty; crushing and conveyor installations with its own team by employing some

Innovative solutions. Overall, Mercator sold 7.63 million MT (previous year 7.35 million MT) of coal Total turnover of Rs.20070.000 Millions (previous year Rs.23170.000 Millions) was achieved. This contributed about 54% of the total operating income (previous year 62%). Although volumes increased marginally, the fall in the coal prices during the year affected sales realisations.

 

OIL AND GAS:

 

Offshore performance:

 

Mercator owns one Mobile Offshore Production Unit (MOPU) and one Floating Storage Offloading Unit (FSO) which are deployed at EBOK field in Nigeria under long term contract with UK listed Afren Plc. Both these MOPU and FSO collectively called Floating Production Unit (FPU) are performing well. MOPU has a processing capacity of 50,000 barrels oil per day whereas FSO has storage capacity of 1.2 million barrels oil.

 

EPC project awarded by ONGC Limited for conversion of their Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit (“MODU”) ‘Sagar Samrat’ into a Mobile Offshore Production Unit (“MOPU”) is progressing satisfactorily. The project completion timeline has been extended due to changes in design and scope.

 

In this segment; Mercator achieved total turnover of Rs.6100.000 Millions compared to Rs.1990.000 Millions in previous year. This has contributed about 16% of the total operating income (previous year 5%).

 

Oil Blocks:

 

Mercator has Production Sharing Contracts with the Government of India for exploration of Petroleum in two blocks under the Seventh New Exploration Licensing Policy round (NELP-VII). The “S-Type” blocks are situated onshore in the prolific Cambay Basin, Gujarat, India and cover an area of about 180.22 Sq. Km. The exploratory drilling programme has been finalised and is expected to commence later this year.

 

Tanker (Wet Bulk) performance:

 

Mercator’s tanker fleet consists of a Very Large Crude Carrier (VLCC), Aframaxes, Product tankers and Chemical tanker.

 

Mercator had 7 own tankers of aggregate capacity of 740193 DWT at the beginning of the year and 1 in- chartered chemical tanker of 19,996 DWT. During the year; one aframax tanker of 109,227 DWT that had met with an accident in the previous year; was scrapped. A part of the insurance claim has been received from the insurers. Consequently, at the end of the year Mercator had 6 own tankers of 630966 DWT and 1 in-chartered tanker of 19,996 DWT. Of these; one VLCC of 299235 DWT was sold to a subsidiary in Singapore and one aframax tanker of 90,607 was also sold. Subsequent to year end; 1 MR tanker of about 36,032 DWT was acquired.

 

The proceeds of the insurance claim received in respect of the Aframax tanker that met with accident were used to prepay debt. The VLCC, which was funded by high cost INR debt, was contracted to be sold to a step down subsidiary and the high cost rupee debt was refinanced by a dollar denominated loan with extended tenor. As a consequence, the company was able to substantially reduce the debt during the year.

 

The tanker business achieved a turnover of Rs.3330.000 Millions as compared to Rs.2900.000 Millions in the previous year. The numbers of operating days were reduced by about 5% to 2,479 days (previous year 2,618 days). The time charter equivalent (TCE) at USD 15,898 was flat as compared to USD 15,884 in the previous year. Overall contribution from the tanker division was 9% (previous year 8%) of the total operating income.

 

Dry Bulk performance:

 

Mercator’s bulk carrier fleet comprises of geared and Gearless Panamaxes; Kamsarmaxes and a Very Large Ore

Carrier (VLOC). At the beginning of the year, there were 15 own bulk carriers with aggregate tonnage of 1340510 DWT and 3 chartered-in bulk carriers with an aggregate capacity of 2,78,340 DWT. One VLOC of 279022 DWT was sold. Further, two chartered-in vessels with aggregate tonnage of 186,540 DWT were re-delivered under early termination agreements as the cost of chartering the vessles was higher than the earnings of these vessels.

 

Consequently, at the end of the year; there were 14 own bulk carriers of aggregate capacity of 1061488 DWT and one chartered in vessel of 91,800 DWT. The proactive measures of early termination of long term charters and sale of VLOC will have positive impact on cash flows of the Company going forward.

 

During the year; the new coal mine at Batuah, Indonesia commenced commercial operations. This project was operationalised within 20 months Mercator has executed the entire project including construction of about 26 KM haul road; bridges; jetty; crushing and conveyor installations with its own team by employing some innovative solutions.

 

Overall, Mercator sold 7.63 million MT (previous year 7.35 million MT) of coal Total turnover of Rs.20070.000 Millions (previous year Rs.23170.000 Millions) was achieved. This contributed about 54% of the total operating income (previous year 62%). Although volumes increased marginally, the fall in the coal prices during the year affected sales realisations.
