Kulo nyaka, ibhizinisi elizinze kahle lemikhiqizo yensimbi nemishini yokugada lingene emakethe ekhulayo yaseMpumalanga Malaysia.
I-Prestar iphinde ibheke esikhathini esizayo ngokuzimisa nomholi wemboni u-Murata Machinery, Ltd (Japan) (Muratec) ukuze anikeze izixazululo ezihambisanayo zokugcinwa okuzenzakalelayo kanye nezinhlelo zokubuyisa (AS/RS).
Ngasekuqaleni kwale nyanga, u-Prestar umemezele ukuthi uwine i-oda lenani lika-R80 million lokulethwa kwezithiyo zomgwaqo engxenyeni engu-1,076 km ye-Sarawak ku-Pan-Borneo Highway.

Lapho ebuzwa inani lethenda, Ukuze kuchazwe ukuthi imali eyi-avareji engu-R150,000 iyadingeka ngekhilomitha ngalinye lomgwaqo osheshayo.

Kuphinde kube nesidingo esiqhubekayo sokulungiswa kwemigwaqo ngenxa yezingozi nomsebenzi wokunwetshwa kwemigwaqo, kusho uToch.Iqembu belihlinzeka ngemikhiqizo ezosebenza ku-North-South Expressway iminyaka eyisishiyagalombili, ikhiqiza ngaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-RM6 ngonyaka.
Njengamanje, ibhizinisi lokubiya libalelwa ku-15% wenzuzo yaminyaka yonke yeqembu elinganiselwa ku-R400 million, kanti ukukhiqizwa kwamapayipi ensimbi kuseyibhizinisi eliyinhloko le-Prestar, elibalelwa cishe ingxenye yemali engenayo.
Phakathi naleso sikhathi, i-Prestar, ibhizinisi layo lohlaka lwensimbi lihlanganisa u-18% wemali engenayo yeqembu, muva nje uhlanganyele ne-Muratec ukuthuthukisa uhlelo lwe-AS/RS, futhi i-Muratec izohlinzeka ngemishini nezinhlelo, kuyilapho ithenga amafreyimu ensimbi ngokukhethekile kwa-Prestar.

Kuphinde kube yindlela yokuvikela amamajini aminyanisiwe naphezu kokubamba iqhaza ekukhiqizeni insimbi phakathi neketango lenqubo eliphansi nomfula.

Kodwa-ke, intengo yokuvala yakamuva yeqembu ibingu-46.5 sen futhi isilinganiso senani-to-amaholo sasiphindwe izikhathi ezingu-8.28, ngaphansi kwesilinganiso semboni yensimbi namapayipi izikhathi ezingu-12.89.
Ibhalansi yeqembu izinzile.Nakuba isikweletu esiphezulu sesikhathi esifushane sasingu-R145 million uma siqhathaniswa nesamba semali engu-R22 million, ingxenye enkulu yesikweletu yayihlobene nendawo yokuhweba eyayisetshenziselwa ukuthenga izinto zokwakha ngokheshi njengengxenye yohlobo lwebhizinisi.
UToh uthe leli qembu lisebenza kuphela namakhasimende ahloniphekile ukuqinisekisa ukuthi izinkokhelo ziqoqwa kalula."Ngikholelwa kuma-akhawunti atholakalayo kanye nokuphuma kwemali," esho."Amabhange asivumele ukuthi silinganisele ku-1.5x [isamba semali yesikweletu], futhi thina safinyelela ku-0.6x."
