The German-Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry organized an exclusive company visit to one of its Members, the International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI) at the Manila International Container Terminal (MICT) on the 8th of July 2024.
ICTSI is one of the world’s largest, self-sufficient terminal operators present on six continents. In the Philippines, operations began at the Manila International Container Terminal which is the primary facilitator of Philippine trade which has constantly expanded into one of the largest and most modern container terminals.
In the member-exclusive company visit, the attendees explored the advanced capabilities and infrastructure of MICT in conducting seamless trade and business operations worldwide. Furthermore, it also pioneers the ICT application for port operations and management in the country with the implementation of the license plate recognition system and the ICTSI App.
The attendees also had a sneak peek into the ICTSI’s Berth 8, a development plan that would expand the facilities and equipment. This will enable MICT to accommodate very large container ships (VLCs) and handle increasing volume demand in 2027.
The Chamber expresses its gratitude to ICTSI for an insightful company visit, as their efforts and presence here in the Philippines play a vital role in the improvement of business trade.
