ICTSI upgrades Madagascar terminal Increases terminal capacity from 200,000 TEUs to 400,000 TEUs With reports from Michael Ratrimo
H
.E. Hery Rajaonarimampianina, President of the Republic of Madagascar, inaugurated last 20 June expansion works and port facilities improvement at the Madagascar International Container Terminal (MICT) at the Port of Toamasina, the country’s main port and trading gateway. Through investments made by International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI) and subsidiary Madagascar International Container Terminal Services Ltd. (MICTSL) for the past nine years, the terminal upgrade effectively doubled MICT’s annual capacity, from 200,000 TEUs to 400,000 TEUs, enabling the terminal to facilitate the imminent increase in volumes in the next three to four years. Aside from Pres. Rajaonarimampianina, who was with the First Lady, present during the ceremony were: H.E. Roger Kolo, Prime Minister of Madagascar; Ulrich Andriantiana, Minister of Transport and Meteorology; Jean Razafindravonona, Minister of Finance; Rivo Rakotovao Infrastructure, Minister of Equipment and Town and Country Planning ; Henry Rabary-Njaka, Presidential Chief of Staff; Christian Eddy Avellin, SPAT Director General; Enrique K. Razon Jr., ICTSI Chairman and President; Jens Floe, ICTSI Head for Africa Region; Christian R. Gonzalez; ICTSI Head for Asia-Pacific and the Subcontinent; and Tim Vancampen, MICTSL Chief Executive Officer. In his message during the inauguration ceremony, Mr. Razon said: “We are most grateful for having been awarded the concession in 2005 for this facility vital to the country’s economic progress. We are most grateful for the support and cooperation we have been receiving from the Malagasy government. The expansion work we see today is a clear demonstration of that support we have been getting to help us effectively and efficiently run the terminal.” The ICTSI Group has been continuously investing in the MICT. In 2005, ICTSI immediately spent USD53 million for terminal expansion and purchase of new equipment. Last year, a further investment of USD17 million went into more infrastructure, additional equipment and computerization. As of May, total investment was at USD74 million. The investments redounded to increased vessel productivity: from about

five gross moves per hour to the current 45 gross moves per hour today. Truck turnaround has also significantly improved from days to only an hour. “Today, with continued support from the Malagasy Government both at the local and national levels and from our customers, the container terminal provides productivity

and reliability second to none in the Indian Ocean islands and the east coast of Africa, from the Cape to the Horn of Africa. And our partnership serves as a model for public private partnership,” Mr. Razon adds. In 2013 alone, MICTSL remitted to the government around USD170 million in port fees, various duties and taxes, proof of ICTSI’s commitment to the partnership. Aside from its contractual obligation,
MICTSL implemented best industry practices in port management bringing into Madagascar ICTSI’s global brand of customer service and terminal operations. Mr. Razon acknowledged that as the Malagasy economy grows there comes the challenge for infrastructure: “For us, that means further terminal expansion and improvements to handle increased volume, and to make Toamasina the port of call in the Indian Ocean.”

ICTSI, L&T cancel Katupalli management contract
International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI), through ICTSI subsidiaries ICTSI Ltd. and ICTS (India) Pte. Ltd., and L&T Shipbuilding Ltd. (LTSB) have signed a termination agreement last July cancelling ICTSI’s container port agreement for the management and operation of the Kattupalli Container Terminal (KCT) in Tamil Nadu, India. The mutual decision for the contract cancellation came after lengthy discussions and thorough consideration by both ICTSI and LTSB. Both concluded that the existing contract is not beneficial to either party in its current form. For its part, ICTSI deems the 6
cancellation of the Kattupalli contract in keeping with the ICTSI Group’s overall strategy of moving away from contracts that isolate ICTSI from the facility’s day to day operations, including regulatory and commercial activities. ICTSI will be reimbursed for the license fee it paid to operate the terminal.
The cancellation of the contract has no effect or influence on any of ICTSI’s other operations. The Group will continue to actively search for opportunities in India. LTSB is a joint venture between Larsen & Toubro Ltd. and Tamil Nadu Industrial Development Corp.

ICTSI Foundation distributes donations from France, Colombia to Haiyan survivors By Jes Vinson and Joy Lapuz “Ang pananampalataya sa Diyos at pagkakaroon ng matatag na kalooban ang nagtatawid sa amin para malagpasan ang mga pagsubok na dala ng bagyong Yolanda (Our faith in God and our strong will are two things that enable us to overcome trials brought by Typhoon Yolanda),” says Gemma, a 57-year old grandmother staying in one of the government bunkhouses in Balangiga, Eastern Samar. Gemma and her grandson were survivors of the super typhoon Haiyan (locally known as Yolanda), which hit the Philippines last November 2013. They were among the thousands of families displaced by the typhoon. Survivors were temporarily sheltered in various bunkhouse communities constructed by the Philippine government. A team of camp managers oversees each bunkhouse community. Evacuees share a common kitchen, toilet and bath areas. Some bunkhouse communities are self-sustaining due to available livelihood and restored power. But many still rely on relief aid from the government, foreign organizations and local foundations. As help from foreign sources continues to pour in, the ICTSI Foundation, Inc. was among the local foundations tapped by foreign organizations as a conduit in the distribution of relief aid. France Afrik Terre 2 Kultur, a French NGO, and Fundacion Puerto Aguadulce, the corporate social responsibility arm of ICTSI Colombian subsidiary Sociedad Puerto Industrial Aguadulce (SPIA), turned over donations intended to Haiyan survivors to the Foundation. France Afrik donated rice, pasta and cooking oil, while SPIA’s Fundacion donated bottled water, canned tuna and food packs. These donations were distributed last June and benefited a total of 2,360 families located in nine government-managed bunkhouse communities in Basey, Marabut and Balangiga in Eastern Samar; Abucay, NHA, IPI Motocoross and Santo 12
Nino Church in Tacloban City; and Takurangan in Palo, Leyte. Survivors described their living conditions in the bunkhouses: the unbearable heat, the far location of their temporary home from their work making travel costlier, and separation from family, among others. Despite these, many are still grateful for surviving Haiyan and for the continued assistance from various government and non-government entities, both local and international. Most of the evacuees have been in the bunkhouses since April, and are just waiting for the government to complete the construction of their permanent houses. Bereft of their loved ones, homes and livelihood, it’s still far from normalcy for many of them. The government, the private sector and several local and international religious and nongovernment organizations are working hand in hand to help them get back on their feet. Survivors greeted Foundation staff with warm smiles and goodbyes of endless thank you’s. Their stories of faith, courage, determination, and hope made us realize that the Filipino spirit is no match for even the strongest of typhoons. The destruction brought by Haiyan will never be forgotten. And so are the generosity, kindness, and compassion extended not only by fellow Filipinos but by so many governments, organizations and individuals from around the world.
“Our faith in God and our strong will are two things that enable us to overcome trials brought by Typhoon Yolanda,” says Gemma.

WAP’s 8 secrets to good health By J3 Tayag Health and fitness, more than a hobby, is a way of life; not just for the young but also for the young at heart. A good example of this is Wilhelmer A. Pumarada, better known to ICTSI employees as WAP. At 68 years old, with four children and 10 grandchildren, WAP is still fit and able to compete in three triathlons every year. He began swimming when he was eight years old, running since 1982, and took on biking in 2009. He joined his first competition in 2009 when he participated in the 7/11 Bike Run, where he pedaled from Filinvest Alabang all the way to Tagaytay. In 2011, he joined the 7/11 Bike Run again from Clark to Porac, Pampanga and finished ninth in the 60 and up category. In the same year, he joined his first major triathlon when he participated in the Sprint triathlon in Subic, which had a total distance of 25.75 kilometers. Since then, WAP has joined and finished several full triathlons, half triathlons and a relay triathlon with fellow ICTSI employees Ben Gorospe and Ferdie Francisco. When asked how long he will keep joining triathlons, he says, “Up to 90 if kaya pa.” To stay in shape and whenever he has a competition, he follows a tight training regimen. WAP bikes 40-50 kilometers every morning, runs twice a week, and swims at least once a month to prepare for a competition. For those thinking of following the path that WAP has taken, or at the least want to stay fit, here are some tips you might want to consider: 1. Balanced and Healthy Diet Eating right benefits not only your health but your overall mood as well. Research shows that when a person eats right, he or she is able to stay within the proper weight and is often in a positive mood. This also boosts a person’s energy, giving him more drive to do everyday tasks with ease. Most important of all, a proper diet protects the body from disease and gives longevity. 2. Rest and Sleep Pushing the body may have its toll on your overall health and performance. Giving enough time for rest and recovery keeps you healthy and the body p. 18

performing at its peak. The body can only take so much abuse, pushing it to its limits may have bad effects, that is why resting and a going to bed early are two things you must do. Also, lack of sleep increases the chances of injury and slows down tissue repair. Do Cardiovascular Exercises Walking or running at least three to four times a week strengthens the heart and the lungs. Just like any muscle in the body, the heart and the lungs need to be exercised. Working out the heart and lungs regularly keeps them healthy. Gradually Increase Training Level Increase the difficulty of your training gradually, do not jump from a two kilometer run to a 10 kilometer run in two days. Gradual increase in the level of your work out also increases your body’s capacity to perform. On the flipside, sudden increase shocks your body and may cause damage to your body. Consult your Doctor Visiting your doctor regularly keeps your body’s condition in check. Do not just visit the doctor when you feel something painful. Hydrate Rehydrate yourself whenever you exercise. During work out or exercise, we sweat more than usual losing water faster. Hydrating lessens the stress on the heart to distribute blood and keeps the body’s temperature at normal levels. Do not Smoke Our heart requires oxygen to function and it also distributes oxygen by pumping blood to the body. Smoking not only impedes the circulation of oxygen to the body but also carries with it substances that are not really good for the body. Focus When competing and even just working out, do not get over excited and lose focus on what you need to achieve. Before starting a work out session or a competition, take a deep breath. This corrects your breathing pattern, calms you down and keeps you focused.
After crossing the finish line with an official time of 4:46:04, WAP secured second place in the Century Tuna 5i50 Triathlon 2013. 18
