SBITC to open CFS A first in Central Luzon

Subic Bay International Terminal Corporation (SBITC) on 25 May broke ground for the construction of its Container Freight Station (CFS). This will be the first such facility in central Luzon.

Located at the New Container Terminal 2 of the Subic Bay Freeport, the CFS will feature an initial storage area of 840 square meters, expandable by up to 1,680 square meters depending on the demand. The facility will have an initial capacity of 50 to 100 TEUs, and will be capable of stripping or stuffing five containers simultaneously.

ICTSI NEWSBREAK

SPOTLIGHT

The Manila International Container Terminal (MICT) has tapped Unionbank of the Philippines to process payment transactions and provide teller services starting 4 June. The initiative is part of MICT’s efforts to provide clients with better service. The MICT

By Tessa TidongLaguna 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.

LGICT holds safety patrol, cleanup driveBy Tessa Tidong

On 30 May, Laguna Gateway International Container Terminal, together with Nippon Container Terminal and AUKH personnel, conducted a safety patrol and cleanup drive at the terminal. The activity was meant to establish safety protocols, identify and improve housekeeping guidelines inside the facility. Volunteers were able to collect sacks of debris and other waste materials during the activity, which LGICT plans to hold on a monthly basis.

The ICTSI Foundation, together with volunteers from the MICT OP Group, Operations and Office of the General Manager, conducted an outreach activity last 20 May for the benefit of street children under the care of Onesimo Bulilit Foundation.

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.

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 Mexico strengthens Manzanillo operation with new quay cranes

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.

ICTSI NEWSBREAK

CMSA’s two new super post-Panamax quay cranes were transported by the heavy lift vessel Zhen Hua 18.

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.

VICT becomes first container terminal to integrate automated lashing platform

ICTSI NEWSBREAK

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 pin-handling 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 one of the safest in the world. “With the ALP in place, we have eliminated the need to assign personnel to the dangerous job of twistlock removal from heavy, suspended loads during load and discharge operations. This greatly reduces the potential for accidents and general risk to the business,” Mr. Dommestrup adds.

As the industry starts to embrace the automation trend, manual twistlock handling remains the most difficult area of operation to automate. Until now, the ALP is the first and only system available on the global market capable of fully automating this manual process.

Bromma, the leading supplier of crane spreaders, is scheduled to deliver six ALP units to VICT in August. Each unit can handle 20, 40, 45 and twin 20 foot containers. When operating, it efficiently stores the twistlocks and under-deck pins within the unit for discharge and re-use when backloading an entire vessel bay on a 14,000TEU vessel.

Victoria International Container Terminal - one of the most innovative, sustainable and fully automated terminals in the world. Coming to the Port of Melbourne, final quarter 2016.

Teimuraz Chichinadze.

BICT distributed bags to the children present at the inauguration of the Mabuhay Park.

Batumi 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 eco-friendly 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 world-class 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.”
