Friendship Park in Tbilisi Zoo
B
atumi International Container Terminal (BICT), led by its Chief Executive Officer Nikoloz Gogoli, inaugurated the Mabuhay Park / Philippine – Georgia Friendship Park on 1 June at the Tbilisi Zoo in Georgia. The inauguration was timed with Georgia’s International Children’s Day. The Philippine – Georgia Friendship Park is the first park that officially celebrates Georgia’s friendship with another country. It features ecofriendly structures like wooden houses, mazes, slides, benches and tables for the leisure and enjoyment of families visiting the zoo. The park was donated by BICT, ICTSI’s Georgian subsidiary, which operates the container terminal in the Port of Batumi. BICT represents the largest Philippine investment in Georgia. “We have Philippine roots, but Georgia is our home, and Tbilisi our capital city. Donating this friendship park is our small way of rebuilding the city for the sake of our children and their future,” says Mr. Gogoli. He adds: “With this new park, we hope children and parents alike can have a recreational space to bond and connect for many years to come. We also hope that this park validates the friendship between Georgia and the Philippines.” Mabuhay is a traditional Philippine expression of warm welcome and glad tidings for friends and visitors alike. Also present in the inauguration was Teimuraz Chichinadze, Honorary Philippine Consul General of Georgia, who expressed his support for the project: “As a Georgian, it has been an honor to serve the Philippines and the Filipino people. I am very proud and happy about the initiative
to build this park. We will support this 100 percent.” His counterpart, Thelmo Luis Cunanan Jr., Georgian Honorary Consul, also attended the inauguration to represent the Philippines: “We have worked very hard to develop relations between the Philippines and Georgia. This park symbolizes the strong ties of friendship that bind our two countries. BICT, and its parent ICTSI, are worldclass companies. BICT has been doing an excellent job in Batumi. This is a special gift to Georgia from the Philippines.” Tbilisi Zoo Director Zurab Gurieldze likewise expressed elation: “It is a challenge to develop Tbilisi Zoo. We have worked for many years to give Georgians a wonderful place to learn about wildlife and enjoy this with their families. I am so happy that our brothers and sisters from the Philippines have reached out to us with this beautiful gesture. I am very touched. God bless the Philippines. God bless Georgia.” “This park is very special. It is a symbol of the rebirth of Tbilisi Zoo after the devastating flood that hit the capital last June and caused massive damage to the zoo,” said Mzia Sharasidze, Tbilisi Zoo Public Relations and Media Manager. “We are very grateful to friends in the Philippines for their friendship and this special gift, which Georgian families will enjoy for years to come.”
BICT distributed bags to the children present at the inauguration of the Mabuhay Park.

ICTSI Mexico strengthens Manzanillo By Lorena Valero
Contecon Manzanillo S.A. de C.V. (CMSA), the operator, manager and developer of the Specialized Container Terminal – 2 (SCT-2) at the Port of Manzanillo in Colima, Mexico, took delivery of two super post Panamax quay cranes on 5 June. The equipment turnover comes ahead of the scheduled completion of the terminal’s Phase 1B expansion later in the year.

operation with new quay cranes Fortino Landeros, CMSA General Manager, says the USD20 million equipment investment plays a key role in Contecon Manzanillo’s bid to become the country’s primary import and export gateway. “The new equipment, which we estimate will be ready to operate in about five weeks from arrival, brings our total number of super post-Panamax quay cranes to six. Contecon Manzanillo will now be able to service two vessels simultaneously resulting in higher productivity.” The cranes are 48 meters high with a reach of 65 meters, capable of handling safe working loads of 65 tons under the spreader and 75 tons under the hook. Considered as the current industry best in terms of efficiency, the cranes will streamline CMSA’s operation in the Mexican Pacific by enabling it to serve more ships in less time. Mr. Landeros also affirms CMSA’s commitment to strengthening its port operations and contributing, as a key link, to the optimization of logistic chains for the benefit of different sectors and stakeholders in the north and west.
“The steps we have taken will motivate us to move forward with our plan to invest in equipment and technology to accomplish this task and support the development of Mexico.” In November last year, CMSA also took delivery of six Kalmar E-One2 rubber tired gantry (RTG) cranes. The purchase was in response to the growing volumes at the SCT-2. The RTGs feature hardware support for Kalmar SmartProcess automation solution, which CMSA plans to deploy in the future. International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI), CMSA’s parent company, signed a 34-year concession in 2010 to develop and operate the SCT-2 in the Port of Manzanillo. The terminal project is split into three phases and is scheduled for completion by 2023. In October 2015, CMSA secured a $260 million loan to fund the first two phases. Phase 1, which is further divided into 1A and 1B, will be complete by yearend, while Phase 2 will be finished by 2020. CMSA will use its own cash flow to finance final development stage.
CMSA’s two new super postPanamax quay cranes were transported by the heavy lift vessel Zhen Hua 18.

VICT becomes first container terminal to integrate automated lashing platform By Claire Jordan-Whillans
Victoria International Container Terminal in Melbourne, Australia has become the first in the world to integrate the first automated lashing platform (ALP) for twistlock removal. “The ALP was the missing piece in our ambition to achieve the safest, most automated terminal in the world. Through the strong collaboration between the Bromma and VICT teams, we have managed to seamlessly integrate the ALP into our operation, and we firmly believe we have the safest and most efficient pinhandling solution available in the market today,” says Anders Dømmestrup, VICT CEO. The integration allows all the functions of the neo-Panamax quay cranes to be fully automated, making VICT the most advanced terminal in terms of automation scale.
It also makes ICTSI’s Australian facility automate. Until now, the ALP is the first one of the safest in the world. “With the and only system available on the global ALP in place, we have eliminated the market capable of fully automating this need to assign personnel manual process. to the dangerous job of Bromma, the leading twistlock removal from supplier of crane Victoria International heavy, suspended loads spreaders, is scheduled Container Terminal during load and discharge to deliver six ALP units - one of the operations.

LGICT installs 2 new weigh bridges By Tessa Tidong
Laguna Gateway Inland Container Terminal (LGICT) has completed the construction of two weigh bridges in its facility in Calamba, Laguna. The development is in compliance with the revised Safety of Life at Sea Convention (SOLAS) regulation of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) on container weighing, which will take effect globally on 1 July 2016. The new rules require both terminal and vessel operators to verify the weight of packed containers before loading them onto a vessel. Since estimates are not allowed, there are two methods to verify container weight. The first method is weighing the container after it has been packed. The second is weighing all the cargo and contents of the container and adding those weights to the container’s tare weight as indicated on the door end of the container. The weighing equipment used in either of the methods should also meet national certification and calibration requirements. LGICT is also working on other development projects in line with its commitment to bring the ports closer to locators in South Luzon and provide the logistics industry with efficient services. These include the development of LGICT’s very own IT-gate
system for the monitoring truck turnaround time, Track and Trace for monitoring container movement, and Central Pass Control system for transaction management. As of recently, there are five shipping lines that utilize LGICT’s services, namely NYK, K Line, MOL, Maersk and OOCL. With more developments underway, including the planned revival of the rail network connecting the LGICT to the Manila International Container Terminal, LGICT is looking at the prospect of servicing more clients in the near future.

ICTSI Foundation has scheduled a series of outreach projects for 2016 to be participated in by employees from MICT departments and the Global Corporate Group. This is part of the Employee Volunteerism Program (EVP), which aims to promote altruism, concern and the spirit of involvement among employees through activities that help uplift the marginalized sector of society. For May 2016, the MICT Operations Group were the main participants in the Foundation’s activity at Onesimo Bulilit Foundation. In time for this, ICTSI Vice President and Director for Global Infrastructure Guillaume Lucci, another strong advocate of EVP, introduced to the Foundation, Ms Karine Camart and Family and Barn Owls Class of International School of Manila, who donated various books and toys. Solaire Resort and Casino also pitched in with donations of uncalimed items from their lost and found section. Juliet Andaya, Executive Director of Onesimo Bulilit Foundation, expressed her gratitude to the donors and employee volunteers. On the other hand, Leila Peralta, MICT OP Resource Group Assistant Manager, expressed appreciation for the opportunity to be of service to others. She spoke of the happiness she felt spending the day with the children: “We are more thankful for this outreach. This is a welcome break from the usual things we do in the office…being able to go out, serve and share our blessings with you.” The day was capped with smiles from everybody – the street children, Onesimo Foundation staff, the MICT employee volunteers, the donors and ICTSI Foundation staff.

Setting the example for employee volunteerism By Joy Lapuz
Since the ICTSI Foundation launched its Employee Volunteerism Program last year, several departments within ICTSI have proactively supported the Company’s Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives through donations or by taking part in actual relief operations. The Global Corporate HR (GCHR) is one of the departments that have contributed to some of the Foundation’s undertakings. Last December, they took part in the Christmas Wish Tree Project for the children at the Manila Boystown. This project was notable for having a huge turnout of employee volunteers.
Lisa Escaler, ICTSI Vice President and Head of GCHR, is an active advocate of the Foundation’s CSR initiatives. She believes everyone is capable of extending a helping hand – whether through a small donation or making time to participate in outreach activities. It’s only a question of willingness. She recently donated a stationary bike to the Department of Health – Treatment and Rehabilitation Center in Pilar, Bataan. “I believe that setting the example is the best way to encourage others to participate,” says Ms. Escaler. “Whether you donate or you participate in an outreach activity, what matters is the sincere effort to give back, which hopefully trickles down to other members of the department.” Sally Inonog, ICTSI Head of Employee Services & Information Management, echoes the same sentiment about leading by example. She, too, has participated in a number of outreach activities, the most recent one being the Brigada Eskwela at the Rosauro Almario Elementary School Parola Annex in Tondo, Manila. She, along with other ICTSI volunteers, helped paint the rooms and chairs in preparation for the start of classes. “We at GCHR try our best to support you and the Foundation in all its undertakings and we applaud and believe in the good work you have been doing to bring us closer as a team and give back to the community,” says Ms. Inonog. More than half a year after its launch, the program has successfully implemented outreach activities with the help of employee volunteers. In May, the Foundation teamed up with volunteers from the MICT OP, Operations and Office of the General Manager to conduct an outreach for the children under the care of Onesimo Bulilit Foundation. Back in March, members of the ICTSI Legal Department joined the Foundation to conduct an outreach for the children of Bahay Tuluyan. In February, it was Rafael Joel Consing, ICTSI Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, and the Treasury and Insurance departments who joined the Foundation’s outreach for the patients at the cancer ward of the National Children’s Hospital. Finally in June, Engr. Guia Lopez, Engineering department and purchasing department staff took part at the Brigada Eskwela at the Rosauro Almario Elementary School – Parola Annex. The Foundation hopes to continue the momentum by organizing more events that involve employee volunteers.

ICTSI Foundation holds Entrepreneurship and Business Planning Workshop for Eco-Patrols By Marie Bernadette De Guzman
A total of 78 Eco-Patrols took part in the Entrepreneurship and Business Planning Workshop organized by the ICTSI Foundation in partnership with the Philippine Business for Social Progress (PBSP) from 25 to 26 April at the ICTSI Foundation Multipurpose hall.
The workshop aims to equip Eco-Patrols with basic entrepreneurial skills necessary to generate new business ideas and succeed in business. It covered writing simple business plans and introduction to basic business cycle flow. The workshop
also served as a way to assess the participants’ personal entrepreneurial competencies. “The Entrepreneurship and Business Planning Workshop is part of the Capacity Building Component of the Parola Solid Waste Management Program,” says Joy Lapuz, ICTSI Foundation Senior Program Head. “The program banks on household waste processing technologies to provide livelihood opportunities to Parola Eco-Patrols, initially. We’re hoping to extend the program to also involve residents of Barangays 20 and 275 in Parola.”
