ICTSI Matadi terminal
I
nternational Container Terminal Services, Inc.’s (ICTSI) new terminal in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DR Congo) is on schedule to open for business in August 2016. Located at the Port of Matadi on the Congo River, the ICTSI DR Congo Terminal will deliver purpose-designed container handling capacity coupled with modern general cargo handling and storage facilities. Matadi is the chief seaport of DR Congo and capital of the Bas-Congo province. From the mouth of the Congo River in the South Atlantic, Matadi is situated on the left bank of the river some 148 kilometers from river’s entry. The port serves an extensive hinterland including the capital city of Kinshasa, the largest city in central Africa. “We are very pleased to be progressing this USD 100 million investment on schedule in Matadi. The works are going well, and we are
very confident that we will be able to meet current and future cargo handling requirements for DR Congo in both the container and general cargo handling sectors,” says Hans-Ole Madsen, ICTSI Senior Vice President, Europe, Middle East and Acting Africa Head. The terminal will initially operate in August 2016 with one berth. Full build of first phase development, which includes a second berth will be ready by November. Container handling capacity will be at 175,000 TEUs annually
with a nine hectare terminal area, six hectares of which are allotted for the yard area. Depth alongside the quay will be at 12 meters, capable of serving Panamax, Handymax and Wafmax vessels. As part of overall development, plans are underway to review the dredging of the river in phases from 7.3 meters to as deep as 12 meters, including its environmental and economic impact to river communities. Dredging is highly feasible as the riverbed is mainly sand.

to open mid-2016 The quay, which has a length overall of 350 meters, will be equipped with heavy duty mobile cranes, while reach stackers will be deployed in the yard area for the handling of containers. The terminal will be run using Navis N4 as its terminal operation system, incorporating value-added functions such as integrated billing among others. Construction activity to date at the terminal site, which is located southwest of Pont Marechal (before the bridge) and the existing public port, has seen the completion of an access road, initial piling of the quay, and start of civil works at the yard, terminal building and gates.
ICTSI has the option to immediately implement second phase development, which will expand the quay to another 350 meters and the supporting yard area. “We are ready to undertake this, as it is just a matter of timing in line with demand. We are very confident that we can build on the new efficiencies that the first phase will deliver including reduced vessel waiting time, and reduced transit times for goods from point of origin to destination,” says Mr. Madsen, The ICTSI DR Congo Terminal is a joint venture of ICTSI, Ledya Group and SCTP SA.
Construction of ICTSI’s new ICTSI DR Congo Terminal on the Congo River is at an advanced stage with the terminal set to open for business in mid-2016.

Catering to more than 500 students, the Algeciras Elementary School is the only elementary school in the island of Algeciras in Agutaya, Palawan. Algeciras is one of the host communities of Amanpulo Resorts in Pamalican Island, which also receives assistance from the Andres Soriano Foundation.

ICTSI Foundation holds annual holiday outreach By Francis J G. Bartolome
Last December, the ICTSI Foundation once again implemented its annual gift-giving and outreach program for the communities hosting ICTSI’s local subsidiaries. More than 2,000 children and elderlies received gifts courtesy of the Foundation and ICTSI employee donors. The gifts came in various forms, which included medical rehabilitation equipment, wheelchairs, medical supplies, grocery items, toys and clothing. In Manila, the Foundation worked with seven partner institutions managed by the City Social Welfare Development Office including the Manila Boys Town, Parola Day Care Centers and Missionaries of Charity. In the provincial areas, the Foundation, in partnership with Subic Bay International Terminal Corp. (SBITC), Bauan International Port, Inc. (BIPI), Mindanao International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (MICTSI), South Cotabato Integrated Ports Services, Inc. (SCIPSI) and Davao Integrated Ports and Stevedoring Services Corp. (DIPSSCOR), selected nine accredited centers of the Department of Social Welfare and Development, including the Center for Special Children in Tagoloan, Misamis Oriental, the Reception and Study Center for Children in Davao, as beneficiaries along with religious institutions like Bahay ni Maria in Calamba, Laguna and the Marcellin Foundation in Katangawan, General Santos City. These institutions function as half-way homes providing residential and medical care to the sick, abandoned and abused.
Institutional involvement was key to the implementation of activities as subsidiaries mobilized employee-volunteers. The Foundation, on the other hand, tapped its pool of 75 college scholars for assistance in the outreach event. The Christmas outreach is now on its fourth year of extending assistance to members of the marginalized sector.

was for employees, clients and basically anyone in the building to choose a star and grant the corresponding handpicked gift request. During the turnover of gifts, a Christmas celebration was held at the two centers located inside the Manila Boys Town Complex in Parang, Marikina. Several ICTSI employees including some of the gift donors personally turned over the gifts to their respective beneficiaries. The gift items include guitars, skateboards, music players, clothes, shoes and groceries. “We’re all glad to see the smiles as each child unwrapped their presents. Moments like this remind us that everyone is special,” adds Ms. Lapuz. The Manila Boys Town is under the City Social Welfare and Development Office of Manila. The Town has four social welfare facilities: a boys home, a girls home, a foundling home and a home for the elderly with a total estimated population of 650 clients composed of the homeless and street-dwellers, abused and abandoned children and elderly.

PORTFOLIO FEATURE STORY
BGT looks to increase number of female employees
By Sheeba Khan
Traditionally, working women in patriarchal societies like Iraq are given fewer career opportunities to showcase their competency and skill. Female members of the workforce often raise eyebrows among their male peers, and it goes without saying that the journey of a career-oriented woman in Iraq is challenging regardless of their competence and education. There’s no question that Iraqi women today have come a long way in terms of getting employment opportunities. Looking to have a more balanced workforce, the Basra Gateway Terminal (BGT) is one of several Iraqi companies who believe women should be given equal employment opportunity. According to Maria Sumadchat, BGT Human Resources Manager: “BGT has always been keen to hire and develop local talents. I have met many Iraqi women who are competent and professional in their work, and we are looking forward to being able to bring in more of these women to BGT.” Ms. Sumadchat and I met with BGT employees Jinan Challoop, Ayat Abdul Rauf and Shams Hikmat to ask about their experience working in a predominantly male environment. Here are their responses to our questions:
Q: Can you give us a brief background on your education and job role? Jinan Challoop: I work as a HR assistant with a bachelor’s degree in physics.
Ayat Abdul Rauf: I am part of the operations group as a systems coordinator. I have a degree in pollution engineering. Shams Hikmat: I am an electrical engineer working as a maintenance planner in BGT.
Shams: My husband was hesitant at the beginning. He asked a lot of questions about the company, its reputation and global presence. Getting a lot of positive feedback about the BGT, he eventually agreed with my decision to work at the port.
Jinan: It’s really a changing place to work in. I initially didn’t know that we have a company like this in Iraq. After six months or so, I feel I am more openminded and see a bright future ahead. Men here need to know it’s not that hard to take orders from a woman. Ayat: There were a lot of challenges at the beginning, but with time and support, I have been able to adapt to the work. Shams: Honestly, I was a bit hesitant to work here but after giving it a lot of thought, I decided to challenge myself and joined the company. My team here is very helpful and respectful, always supporting me in what I do. It has been a good experience so far.
Ayat: I have to admit, there are many challenges but with my family’s support, dealing with them became a whole lot easier. Shams: Yes, I encountered some challenges before because I worked in the electrical engineering field. It so happened that I was the only woman there, but eventually I was able to overcome the challenges to become one of their best employees.
Q: Considering that the port and shipping industry is a maledominated industry, how has your experience been so far working in BGT?
Q: Was it difficult to convince your family to allow you to work at the port? Jinan: My family is my biggest supporter. They told me that I am educated and I should go ahead and apply what I learned.
Top: Shams Hikmat, Maintenance Planner at BGT Right: Maria Lee Sumadchat (extreme left) with Jinan Challoop and Jadranko Sobol, Workshop Planning Supervisor.

Q: Considering that women are still the minority in Iraqi workplaces, did you face any difficulty when you started your professional career?
Q: What do you think should BGT do to encourage more women to work in BGT?
Jinan: What I like about BGT is that they are aware of our culture and tradition so they assigned the right person (woman) for the right job. At the same time, they also let you go out of your comfort zone. Hopefully, this would help improve the gender ratio in the organization. Ayat: I think we can improve the gender ratio by hiring more women for administrative roles that they can easily perform regardless of the cultural barriers. Shams: I think many girls want to join the company. One of the problems includes the long commute from the city to the terminal. Women going home late – even from work – is something many families find unacceptable.

AGCT starts 2016 with new records By Iva Roman
The Adriatic Gate Container Terminal (AGCT) serviced the MSC Luciana during its maiden call to the Port of Rijeka last 3 January 2016. The 363-meter container vessel is part of the 2M East-West Network service jointly run by the Mediterranean Shipping Co. and Maersk. The regular weekly service directly connects Rijeka with the Far East.
Despite being relatively smaller compared to Maersk’s Gerda, Gustav and Gunhilde, 367-meter M-Class vessels that regularly call AGCT, MSC Luciana sets the record for being the largest nominal capacity container vessel to berth at the Port of Rijeka. With a 46-meter beam, MSC Luciana is capable of loading up to 11,700 TEUs.
AGCT simultaneously services two vessels with a combined length of 544 meters The third of January also marks the first time for AGCT to simultaneously service two vessels with a combined length of 544 meters. Aside from the MSC Luciana, which docked at berth 2, the regular caller Uni-Phoenix was serviced at berth 1. Uni-Phoenix calls Rijeka once in three weeks as part of Evergreen’s weekly Adriatic-Levant service connecting the East Mediterranean sector and the North Adriatic Region via Piraeus.
Part of the Adriatic-Levant service that was launched in May last of last year, Evergreen’s Uni-Phoenix is one of the regular callers at the Port of Rijeka.
