Celebrating Manila’s 444th year with a clean-up drive at Parola By Francis J Bartolome
The ICTSI Foundation teamed up with the City Government of Manila to conduct a clean-up drive along the South Access Road leading to Manila International Container Terminal from 22 to 26 June. The clean-up drive, which was held just in time for the 444th anniversary of the City of Manila, was made possible through the collective efforts of more than 100 volunteers from the City’s Department of Public Services, Department of Engineering and Public Works, and the Parks and Development Office. Parola EcoPatrols were also mobilized to lead the volunteers in collecting garbage, repainting of the walls along South Access Road and the unclogging of the kilometer-long drainage system in the area. The Parola Clean-up drive is part of the Foundation’s Parola Solid Waste Management Project (PSWMP), which aims to curb indiscriminate garbage disposal and improve waste segregation along South Access Road through community discipline. The Project is currently on its third year and involves 78 EcoPatrols from Barangays 20 and 275 in Binondo and Tondo, Manila.

New cranes boost BCT capacity By Michal Kuzajczyk
Operations at Baltic Container Terminal (BCT) in the Port of Gdynia, Poland, are expected to improve even further with the arrival of two new quay cranes on 29 June.
The new cranes are part of the investment program that was implemented back in 2012. Manufactured by Shanghai Zhenhua Heavy Industries, the new quay cranes effectively augment BCT’s cargo-handling capability by more than half. Each crane measures 67 meters high and has an arm reach of 52.5 meters just like the first two cranes Gdynka and Gdynek, which were delivered to BCT last December. The cranes are capable of servicing up to 13,000TEU capacity vessels. “On the Baltic Sea, we see larger and larger vessels. This month, the largest container ship in the history of Gdynia called here, and there are all indications it will be a frequent visitor. This will require us to increase both the capacity and performance of cargo operations, so as to handle the everincreasing quantities of containers as quickly as possible,” says Krzysztof Szymborski, BCT CEO and General Manager. Aside from the four quay cranes, BCT’s investment program also includes the purchase of RMG cranes, container cranes
and other cargo-handling equipment; the implementation of new IT systems; and the renovation of the terminal’s container yards. Shanghai Zhenhua Heavy Industries is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of large-scale container cranes.
BCT’s third and fourth quay cranes were delivered by the 38,000-ton Zhen Hua 27.

BCT services largest ship to call Gdynia port By Michal Kuzajczyk
Baltic Container Terminal (BCT) achieved another milestone last 5 June as it welcomed the arrival of MSC Charleston, the largest container vessel to call the Port of Gdynia.
Built in 2006 by the Korean shipbuilder Hanjin Heavy Industries & Construction Co. Ltd., the 8,100 TEU-capacity MSC Charleston has a length and breadth of 324 meters and 42 meters, respectively. It broke the previous record set by MSC Krystal, a 5,762 TEU-capacity container vessel, whose length and breadth measure 277 meters and 40 meters, respectively. "The visit of such a large container ship is another proof that, despite market volatility, there is still a demand for sea-going vessels in Gdynia,” explains Krzysztof Szymborski, BCT CEO and General Manager. "We were prepared for it thanks to the investments made over the years, including, among others, new cranes and handling equipment. We hope that
the construction of a new turning circle will soon be completed, and that, for the longer term, the port channels will be
also be deepened so that similar or even larger units will be our regular guests in Gdynia," he adds.
The MSC Charleston is the largest ship to ever call the Port of Gdynia.

BCT’s Open Day attracts thousands
By Michal Kuzajczyk
More than 3,000 people flocked to Baltic Container Terminal (BCT) in Gdynia, Poland last 13 June for the annual Open Day event, setting a new attendance record for the Company’s yearly celebration.
Held for the third consecutive year, the Open Day gives visitors a glimpse of how BCT conducts its daily operations. Guests were given a tour of the whole port aboard a ship. They were also allowed to observe and learn about vessel and crane operations at close range. Some were even allowed to operate port equipment like mobile cranes, spotter trucks and reach stackers. Aside from letting people experience what a day’s work inside the terminal feels like, the Open Day event also gave the local community the opportunity to experience Philippine culture. The Philippine Embassy in Poland, headed by Philippine Ambassador Patricia Ann Paez, showcased traditional Philippine dances and offered visitors a taste of original Philippine cuisine. BCT also prepared activities, for children, who were encouraged to collect stamps in exchange for surprise treats. The increase in the number of visitors this year is an indication that BCT’s Open Day celebration has become one of summer’s landmark events for the people of Gdynia.
