anniversary “I was a matinee idol back then. There were only a few employees during the Company’s early days.”

“My waistline was around 29 inches when I started here. From that time, the size has gradually increased.” These were the recollections of Gilberto “Bong” Evangelista and Henry Rayon when asked about their early days at the Manila International Container Terminal (MICT). This year marks the 29th anniversary of MICT, the flagship terminal of International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI). From its humble beginnings as a local stevedoring company, ICTSI has grown into one of the most successful port operators in the world after almost three decades. Mr. Evangelista and Mr. Rayon are among the service awardees honored during the anniversary celebration last 9 June. Both have been with MICT for 25 and 20 years, respectively. The service award is given to employees who have dedicated their lives to help the Company grow.

“It’s a simple gesture that we owe to these hardworking individuals who have been part of our journey since the beginning and who have chosen to stay with us until now. They represent the history of ICTSI. They are living witnesses to how the Company became what it is today,” Christian R. Gonzalez, ICTSI Senior Vice President and Head of Asia Pacific and MICT. “We are proud to be one of the few Filipino companies that have made it to the global stage. For us to replicate our brand’s success in some of the most challenging places in the world where we operate, it speaks highly of the kind of employees that we have. They represent excellence, which is the very heart of what we do here in ICTSI. We excel,” he added. Aside from honoring service awardees, the management also recognized the most productive equipment operators with the Grand Slam Award. “Every year, we celebrate the Company’s anniversary by thanking those who have become integral in our success as an organization,” said Mr. Gonzalez.

MICT OPERATIONS 'HEALTHY',

READY FOR PEAK SEASON with record volume, productivity The Manila International Container Terminal (MICT), the flagship operation of global port operator International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI), continues to perform optimally as the Company gears up for the peak season. The robust performance comes after MICT achieved record volume and productivity with its first year-to-date two million TEU move in December 2016. “Yard utilization at the terminal remains optimal. The mechanisms we developed together with the Philippine government and other stakeholders in 2014 continue to work, resulting in the easing of traffic in Metro Manila despite inadequate trade infrastructure,” explained Christian R. Gonzalez, ICTSI senior vice president and head of Asia Pacific Region and MICT. As of May, yard utilization at MICT remained at 61 percent or well below the 70 percent ideal percentage. During the same month, average crane productivity hovered at 32 moves per hour. These numbers underscore the terminal’s strong performance despite the uptick in container volume as global trade continues to rebound. “Global container traffic is slowly recovering. As a matter of fact, Southeast Asia and North America have posted the highest average growth at seven percent during the final quarter of last year. While we remain optimistic that this trend will continue,

P O R T FO LI O

I am confident that we will be able to keep up with the pace and accommodate the projected increase,” he added. Last year, MICT achieved a milestone with its first yearto-date two millionth TEU move, triggering a multibillion peso capacity improvement commitment with the Philippine Ports Authority (PPA) that requires ICTSI to commission five neo-Panamax quay cranes, 12 reach stackers, and build two new berths by 2020. The expansion and capacity improvement will enable MICT to service bigger ships, which are now becoming the trend in global container trade. “We are entering the era of larger ships. We need to adapt and stay competitive by enhancing our capabilities, which is something that we have already started,” Mr. Gonzalez revealed. As the country enters the second half of the fiscal year, volume is expected to surge, with imports starting to arrive ahead of the holiday season. Historical data from the PPA also show consistent MICT volume growth since 2015, with productivity and utilization staying proportionally healthy all throughout. “Port congestion is a challenge every major and busy port in the world has to contend with. The congestion problem

in the Port of Manila in 2014 provided us with the opportunity to further improve our operations at MICT. We resolved the issue by putting in place new technologies that would not only upgrade the terminal, but would make MICT a sustainable business factoring in the quality of life of our hinterland communities and immediate environs. We’ve engaged all port stakeholders in resolving the issue,” said Mr. Gonzalez.

Under TABS, trucks arrive at the terminal according to the booked slot schedule, which the system evenly distributes throughout the day. This system helped reduce the number of trucks on the road without limiting the movement of cargo. The adoption of the online booking system, combined with more productive city regulations, recent clearing of

“WE ARE ENTERING THE ERA OF LARGER SHIPS. WE NEED TO ADAPT AND STAY COMPETITIVE BY ENHANCING OUR CAPABILITIES.”

In Shanghai, China, adverse weather condition, shift in shipping alliances, and higher-than-usual volumes have crippled operations at Yangshan Port. Back in April, the queue outside the port reached up to 100 ships as the average waiting time at the berth reached 18.2 hours. Despite the difference in the nature of the cause, the recent port congestion in Yangshan was comparably similar to the Manila port congestion in 2014.

“In 2014, the cause of port congestion was the truck ban that limited truck movement in the city’s major thoroughfares. We simply couldn’t get the containers out of the terminal. Unlike the situation in Yangshan, our problem back then was something we could control. We needed to think outside of the dock – and that’s how we came up with the Terminal Appointment Booking System (TABS). We looked for a solution to the problem outside the port,” he further revealed.

roads surrounding the port, and the opening of the service roads of a major thoroughfare, Roxas Boulveard, to truck traffic, has resulted in improved trade flow in and out of the port. To further ease container movement and ensure seamless operations at MICT, ICTSI implemented capacity and facility upgrades. Terminal utilization improved since 2015 after the completion of Yard 7, which increased the terminal’s capacity by 18 percent from 2.5 million to 2.75 million TEUs. Yard 7 is part of MICT’s PhP5 billion expansion project.

ICTSI Subic:

IMPROVING TRADE EFFICIENCY

in growing Northern, Central Luzon regions International Container Terminal Services, Inc.’s (ICTSI) new Container Freight Station (CFS) at the Subic Bay Freeport is at the forefront of ensuring the faster movement of goods in the Northern and Central Luzon markets. The two regions continue to grow, driven by industrial centers like Subic, Clark, Bataan, and Tarlac. Launched last year, the CFS is one of Subic Bay International Corp.’s (SBITC) value-added services. The CFS, envisioned to serve as a regional distribution center (RDC), makes the more efficient movement of goods possible because of its

P O R T FO LI O

quicker clearing periods compared to other RDCs. It saves time, cuts costs, thereby helping improve margins for companies doing business with other countries. “The CFS is a multi-user logistics facility especially beneficial for the growing e-commerce and m-commerce markets such as businesses looking into Amazon style same day delivery services into major urban areas in Region 3 and certain parts of the Greater Manila Area. Big box retailers can, likewise, use the CFS as the consolidated centers for their Northern and Central Luzon stores,” said Roberto Locsin, head of SBITC.

The CFS has allotted areas for import and export, dangerous goods, and customs inspection. It can expand its capacity and is capable of stuffing and stripping eight containers simultaneously. It is the first and only facility of its kind in Central Luzon. “Luzon businesses can benefit from SBITC’s direct services to all of the major intra-Asia ports which provides access to the rest of the world. Many of the same vessels that call Manila now call Subic and in many cases, transit times have improved to the same destinations,” he added. Recently, Evergreen Marine Corp., Taiwan’s largest shipping company, launched its Korea-TaiwanPhilippines (KTP) service in Subic and included ICTSI’s New Container Terminals (NCT) 1 and 2 to its port rotation. The service plies the ports of Incheon and Kwang Yang, South Korea; Kaoshiung, Taiwan; and Batangas and Subic Bay, Philippines.

efficient movement of products in the area. The establishment of the CFS adds value to its operations and, in turn, improve its clients’ productivity,” Mr. Locsin related. Adding that, “The Filipino businessman now has access to a premier port that connects their business to the rest of the world ideally located in one of the best deep water harbors in Asia with global carriers, efficient and reliable trucking services, and trustworthy brokers and forwarders who now call Subic home.” As part of efforts in marketing Subic, SBITC gathered over 100 members of the Philippine International Sea Freight Forwarders Association (PISFA), and government officials from the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA) and Bureau of Customs (BOC) in a business forum at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay City.

During the inaugural call of KTP service’s 1,440 TEU boxship Cape Fulmar, the two quay cranes of SBITC handled close to 400 TEUs. Each averaged 40 and 33 moves per hour.

The forum focused on Subic as a strategic port in the country that links Northern and Central Luzon products and businesses to global markets. The forum also reintroduced Subic to PISFA who are excited to learn about the improved accreditation process at SBMA.

Currently, SBITC has on-boarded three of the top cargo consolidators in the Philippines for the Subic CFS: ECU Worldwide, International Consolidators Phils. Inc. (ICPI), and Keihin Everett Forwarding Co. Inc. SBITC welcomed these consolidators and other interested parties to develop the LCL (less container load) business in the region.

“We continue to encourage shipping lines to utilize the container terminals in Subic. This meeting with PISFA puts us in the right direction to achieve our goal. Along with our commitment with SBMA and the BOC, ICTSI and SBITC are one with all stakeholders in making sure that businesses will continue to grow in Subic,” Mr. Locsin added.

“With the Subic Bay Freeport serving as the gateway of Northern and Central Luzon to global markets, ICTSI has positioned itself as the company that would facilitate the

With the CFS, a one-stop shop inside the NCT, and worldclass highways linking Luzon, the Subic Bay Freeport is ready to facilitate growing businesses in the region.

Yantai International Container Terminal (YICT) further improved the movement of trucks inside the terminal with the opening of a “buﬀer zone," a new terminal facility meant to reduce truck turn-around time and container restacking. Several tasks previously handled at the terminal gate have been transferred to the new facility, effectively easing truck congestion near the gate area during peak hours.

The buffer zone features parking spaces for 51 trucks, a pass-through container inspection, and an on-site customer assistance lounge. Aside from improving customer experience and convenience, YICT’s new facility will help the terminal optimize yard and truck routings, resulting in improved berth productivity in the long run.

The four-part seminar series, which started in November last year, aims to raise the community’s disaster awareness, risk management capabilities, and climate change adaptability. The participants were oriented on the relevance of rights-based approach (RBA) and community-based disaster risk management (CBDRM) as frameworks for disaster risk reduction. The first session tackled the basic concepts of disaster risk reduction, climate change adaptation, ecosystem management and restoration, and the salient provisions of Republic Act 10121 known as the Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act of 2010. Participants were asked to come up with an early warning system and contingency plan for all kinds of disaster that may occur in their community. Rommel Corro and Lovella Dorero of Habitat for Humanity Philippines were the facilitators of the first session. Last February, a fire razed hundreds of homes along Parola Gates 1 to 8 in Tondo. Some of the affected residents lauded the seminar for helping them stay organized during the incident.
