ICTSI, partners launch LGICT
ICTSI revives Laguna inland container depot to support Metro Manila box market
International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI), together with joint venture (JV) partners Transnational Diversified Corp. (TDG) and Nippon Container Terminals Co. Ltd. (NCT), launched the inland container depot (ICD) operations of the Laguna Gateway International Container Terminal Inc. (LGICT) in Calamba City, Laguna last 1 March. Attended by LGICT directors and representatives from the three JV partners, the soft opening of the 21-hectare ICD revived ICTSI’s ICD operations in Laguna. LGICT is a pivotal component of ICTSI’s efforts to boost its domestic capability, particularly in Southern Luzon. LGICT is part of ICTSI’s short-medium term plan to expand its flagship Manila International Container Terminal (MICT). As the country’s sole dedicated container terminal and leading
international trading gateway, MICT’s annual throughput is about to reach two million 20-foot equivalent units (TEU). The ICD effectively increases MICT’s yard capacity by 10 percent, which translates to an additional 250,000 TEUs annually. ICTSI, in a disclosure to the Securities and Exchange Commission, described the LGICT as “strategically located near various economic export zones with an already existing adjacent railroad.”

“Of the said 21 hectares, four hectares have already been previously developed and available for immediate operations. Envisioned to be the first of its kind in magnitude and operations, the ICD will be developed as a 24/7 state-of-theart facility with cutting edge terminal systems and equipment,” the disclosure added. As a regional logistics hub, LGICT will provide service and support to exporters and “importers both within and outside the economic zones in the CALABARZON area.” The LGICT, equipped with reach stackers, side lifters, prime movers, and soon, rubber-tired gantries, is the first one-stop ICD in Laguna. Located within 58 kilometers south of Metro Manila, LGICT sits at the heart of the Southern Tagalog region, otherwise known as CALABARZON (composed of the provinces of Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal and Quezon), which is the second largest contributor to the country’s gross domestic product (17 percent of the GDP), and home to major industrial parks and economic zones. Situated in Banlic and San Cristobal, Calamba City, the ICD supports the growing volumes at the Port of Manila while providing viable logistics options to businesses in Southern Luzon and nearby provinces. Plans are underway for the construction of a customs-bonded area and to have the ICD accredited with the Philippine Economic Zone Authority.

SBITC ready for growing volumes Subic Bay International Terminal Corp. (SBITC) has primed New Container Terminals (NCT) 1 and 2 at the Subic Bay Freeport to serve an improving local economy in northern and central Luzon regions, alongside with its continued support to facilitate the box market of Metro Manila. “Subic has the potential to create and sustain a local economy for north and central Luzon. It’s the regions’ gateway to the world. SBICT is committed to develop capabilities and container movement in these two regions,” says Roberto R. Locsin, SBITC General Manager. Mr. Locsin was among the speakers of the 8th Philippine Ports and Shipping International Conference and Exhibition held last 13 February at the Peninsula Manila. In a plenary together with Roberto V. Garcia, Chairman of the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA), Mr. Locsin underscored the importance of Subic as “one of the Philippine port industry’s much-needed solutions to the growing volumes of a developing economy.” As container volume continues to increase in the country’s key ports like Manila and Batangas, private stakeholders and the government

need to cooperate and work hand in hand to implement projects that would complement the growing container traffic. Mr. Locsin highlighted the need for better transport infrastructure, which Subic already has, and improvement of local traffic policies especially in Metro Manila. “We urge businesses to use Subic. We welcome growth with open arms, but that doesn’t mean there is room for complacency. Once the volume in Subic increases, we need to be prepared. We need to work with the government to develop policies and infrastructure that would complement our capabilities,” he adds. The combined operation of NCT 1 and 2 has a terminal area of 28 hectares and an annual capacity of 600,000 TEUs. With a controlling depth of 13.5 meters alongside its 560-meter berth, the terminal can accommodate two vessels at one time, while being serviced by four
post-Panamax quay cranes. Shipping lines using the SBICT include APL, Wan Hai, SITC, K Lines, NYK, Maersk-MCC and Soriamont / Swire Shipping. The terminal has an 11.14-hectare container yard and has deployed a modern fleet of reach stackers and prime movers for moving and hauling containers. Access to the terminal is via the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX). SBMA plans to further improve road access by constructing a new connector road and a bypass road that would run through Bataan province and into SCTEX. SBITC is working closely with the Bureau of Customs in setting up a onestop shop for document processing. The shop will help speed up the process of clearing imports and exports. SBMA donated a parcel of land beside the terminal for the construction of the onestop-shop, which will be funded by SBITC.

TecPlata deploys next-generation cargo scanner With reports from Magdalena Riani
TecPlata S.A. looks to increase overall terminal efficiency with the arrival of the 6030 HCVP ViZual Smiths Detection Scanner, the most modern cargo scanner used in Argentinean ports.
The next-generation, high-energy X-ray scanner is the first pass-through cargo scanner system that can penetrate up to 30 centimeters of steel. Primarily designed to handle high-volume cargo screening, the 6030 HCVP viZual can screen as many as 100 trucks or containers per hour. The terminal’s new cargo screener offers a range of features like high definition picture fluoroscopy as well as the ability to identify organic from inorganic materials. Most importantly, it offers high safety standards. “This new equipment will expedite the inspection process here at the terminal without necessarily increasing our cost. We need to step up and speed up cargo processes as much as possible, and one of the keys to achieve that is the addition of the 6030 HCVP scanner,” said Marcelo Suarez, ICTSI Senior Vice President of the Americas Region. 10
“Looking at the bigger picture, this technology not only works for the terminal but also for law enforcement as it allows customs to expedite things on their end as well,” he added.

China Shipping Container Line’s (CSCL) Xin Qin Huang Dao recently had its maiden call at the Adriatic Gate Container Terminal (AGCT) in Rijeka, Croatia, marking the launch of a service of the Ocean 3 alliance, connecting Rijeka and other European ports to Asia and North America.
Phillip Marsham (left), former AGCT CEO, and Alessandro Becce (right), AGCT CEO, presented the welcome crest to Tu Jianlin, Xin Qin Huang Dao Vessel Master, during the vessel’s maiden call at the AGCT.
The vessel arrived at the AGCT last 18 February and is deployed to Ocean 3’s Phoex / AMX8 / AMC4 weekly service. In September 2014, shipping lines CMA CGM, CSCL and United Arab Shipping Co. formed the Ocean 3 alliance to optimize and consolidate several of their services routes between Asia and Europe, and Asia and North America.
The Phoex / AMX8 / AMC4 service allows Rijeka to be linked to the Far East, connecting strategic ports on the route from Shanghai to Rijeka, and follows this rotation: Shanghai – Busan – Ningbo – Chiwan – Port Kelang – Malta – Kopar – Trieste – Rijeka – Venice – Kopar – Malta – Port Kelang – Chiwan – Shanghai. Ten container vessels are deployed to the route, with each vessel having an average length of 280 meters and a capacity of 5,700 TEUs.

Adriatic Gate Container Terminal (AGCT) in the Port of Rijeka, Croatia, recently serviced the largest vessel to call in the country and in the ICTSI Group, the 10,000 TEUcapacity Gerda Maersk. “I am very proud to be here today, having the honor to welcome the largest vessel not just in the history of Adriatic Gate Container Terminal, but in the whole Port of Rijeka. This event will certainly be long remembered in the development of Rijeka not just as a port but also as s gateway,” says Alessandro Becce, AGCT CEO. The 367-meter Gerda Maersk, is part of the 2M Alliance by two of the world’s megaliners Maersk and Mediterranean Shipping Co. The alliance, which
connects Rijeka and the Far East, deploys 15 vessels with average capacities of 9,600 to 11,300 TEUs. The service starts from the US West Coast and passes through the Pacific, making regular port calls in Busan, South Korea and key ports in the Far East, Middle East and the Adriatic: Shanghai, Hong Kong, Chiwan, Singapore, Port Said, Koper, Trieste, Rijeka, Port Said, Tanjung Pelepas, Vung Tao, Yantian and Ningbo. The service includes calls to three north Adriatic ports Koper, Trieste and Rijeka once a week – with Rijeka as the destination on Thursdays, opening up opportunities to attract additional cargo from Central and Southeast Europe. The previous record was held by
CMA CGM’s Cendrillon, an 8,500-TEU megaboxship which made its maiden call at Berth 2 of the AGCT in May 2014.

As one of the locators in the PIE-MO, MICTSI was among the 32 companies and 42 contractors who were granted certification after completing all the requirements and passing the ocular inspections conducted by DOLE’s Labor Laws Compliance Officers.

MICT: new uniforms Employees of ICTSI flagship Manila International Container Terminal (MICT) have been issued a new set of uniforms as part of the company’s initiative to improve security and set a higher standard on company attire. The new uniforms also make it easier for customers to identify MICT personnel. For the March issue of PortFolio, we are featuring two sets of uniforms for male employees.

ICTSI Foundation reaches out to Parola fire victims The ICTSI Foundation immediately responded and provided assistance to families who were left homeless after two fires broke out inside the Parola Compound near the Manila International Container Terminal (MICT) last 3 and 4 March 2015.
Around 3,381 families, including 55 ICTSI employees, 15 RVV maintenance and seven RVV security personnel were affected by the fire, which razed around five to eight hectares of the compound. Firefighters needed 12 hours to put out the first fire, which reached the general alarm. The second but more manageable fire broke out in the
afternoon of the following day, affecting an estimated 700 families. Ten volunteers from ICTSI’s Emergency Response Team helped the Foundation in distributing food packs, which included one whole roasted chicken and 10 cups of rice for each family. The fire victims were also given blankets, towels, sleeping mats and assorted toiletries. The Foundation also provided assistance to ICTSI employees, EcoPatrols, RVV security and maintenance personnel who were affected by the outbreak.

ICTSI joins PH government’s interruptible load program International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI) joined 222 other companies nationwide in answering the Philippine Department of Energy’s (DOE) call to participate in the Interruptible Load Program (ILP).
A demand-side management solution, the ILP is one of the proposed solutions to the power crisis that’s projected to hit the country this summer. With backing from the DOE, the Philippine Senate, the House of Representatives, Manila Electric Co. and the Retail Electricity Suppliers Association, the program encourages commercial and industrial establishments with heavy power consumption to use their own generators for
their energy needs instead of drawing power from the national grid during the summer months of 2015. “A power crisis would affect everyone and it’s something we all definitely want to avoid, especially major businesses that anchor our economy. ICTSI is more than willing to be part of the solution to a crisis of this magnitude,” said Christian R. Lozano, ICTSI Commercial Director. The DOE foresees a shortage in the supply of electricity from the months of March to June, and has appealed to both government and private stakeholders to take part in the nationwide initiative to curb the effects of, if not totally prevent, the projected power shortage.
MICT re-launches solid waste management system By Joy Lapuz
The ISO Team of the Manila International Container Terminal (MICT) spearheaded the re-launching of the ICTSI-MICT solid waste management system. The new system incorporates modified guidelines based on the disposal habits of MICT employees, tenants and port users. One of the most prominent changes in the new system is the number of trash bins for wastes segregation. The new system only requires two bins instead of four: one for biodegradable waste and one for recyclable wastes. The new system also encourages every department to keep their paper wastes dry and not crumpled for easier collection and selling to recyclers. The MICT-ISO team welcomes feedback as well as suggestions on how to further improve the MICT solid waste system. 16

BCT implements Tideworks’ “EDI as a Platform” Baltic Container Terminal (BCT) in the Port of Gdynia, Poland has successfully implemented Tideworks’ latest electronic data interchange (EDI) product.
BCT has implemented EDI Porter as a platform (EPaaP), Tideworks Technology’s newest EDI solution. EPaaP is an in-house version of the EDI Porter, the hosted EDI service platform offered by Tideworks. It is an EDI translation and management solution designed to work with Tideworks’ Mainsail Terminal Operating System. With EPaaP, customers have full control of the whole process. It is also relatively easier to use compared to a traditional EDI translator. With EPaaP, Tideworks takes charge of hardware setup, application configuration and personnel training
before eventually handing the system over to the client. Tideworks also offers free upgrades as part of its maintenance and support program. Michael Schwank, Tidework Technology President, explained that “whereas many terminal operators would prefer a hands-off approach, BCT has a group of IT professionals that is quite capable of administering the terminal’s EDI and managing the associated infrastructure. This type of solution makes sense for them.” “We spent several months nailing down the requirements and developing the platform, and BCT was incredible to collaborate with throughout the process.
We are very proud of the final result and of our great partnership with BCT,” he added. Explaining BCT’s decision to implement EpaaP, Andrzej Pulawski, BCT IT Manager said that “after reviewing Tideworks’ existing EDI service solution, BCT requested a version that could be deployed in our data center, instead of being hosted and managed by Tideworks. BCT has some unique trading partner relationships, which require a solid EDI foundation, as well as the ability for us to adapt to changing needs.” He adds: “We knew we could depend on Tideworks to deliver a solution that would meet our current and future requirements in this area. We couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome and with the capabilities of the product.”

Employee do’s and don’ts on social media use By Dennis Suriba
We live in a networked world. Everyone is interconnected – many homes have personal computers and most people use smartphones almost 24/7. People are getting more active online via blogs, multiplayer games, and most especially social networks. Regardless of how we perceive the online world, one thing is certain: it promotes peer interaction, collaboration, content generation and information sharing. In the context of business, the online world is a relatively new frontier. It is the new battleground where business reputations are defined by what customers have to say. Here, public relations campaigns are run through independent bloggers aside from the usual channels. And we, as the natives of this new world, normally would expect to be part of the social web even at the workplace. Social technologies: a double-edged sword Most traditional companies are having a hard time integrating social technologies into their corporate policies. Employee participation in social media presents a ton of benefits in terms of brand promotion. On the flip side however, are risks, which must be mitigated. If you are in the financial industry, confidentiality is absolute–which means the dangers of letting employees participate in the social web could outweigh the benefits. For customer-facing businesses, however, the social web is a great venue to reach out to potential customers and promote their brands. Guidelines for employees 1. Listen first, talk later Before jumping into a discussion or replying to a comment, be sure to understand the context of the situation. Ask yourself these questions: Who are the people that I am talking to? Is there any benefit if I join the conversation? Is the question or topic legitimate or just troll bait? Understanding these things will help you come up with an informed response. 2. Establish your identity right from the get-go When responding to work-related social media activities, you should always establish your work relationship. This
18
allows you to establish authority and add weight to your response. 3. Show some personality Social media is for humans, not robots. Social media interaction should always be conversational while still maintaining a sense of professionalism. 4. Draw the line between personal life and work Mixing life with work is so common to the point where we fail to realize where one ends and where the other begins. In social media, employees should consider having a private and a public profile to preserve the lifework balance. 5. Don’t take things personally One way to keep things professional is to avoid taking things personally. When it comes to engaging other people in social media, argue about ideas and not with people. Play it safe by always sticking to the merits of an argument. 6. Stick to the facts and don’t forget your sources Everyone can make a claim on the Internet. When responding or posting in professional capacity, you have to know your facts and cite credible sources to back your claim. 7. Always remember that everything you say will be on the record Charlie Pownell, Founder and Managing Director of CPC & Associates, said, “Never say anything on social media that you do not want to say in front of other people.” Every word that you post will be part of the eternal record of the World Wide Web. Always remember that profanities and harsh language has no place in a professional discussion, whether verbally or on the web. In today’s modern world of interconnectivity, having an online presence is a question of “how” rather than “why.” As companies struggle to figure out how to balance corporate policies and the use of social technologies, employees need to understand that using social tools in the workplace is not without responsibilities.
