COVER STORY

ADVISORY | TECH TALK

ICTSI rolls out online container booking system

A port user comments on TABS during the well-attended training session at Ilustrado Restaurant in Intramuros, Manila. Most of the comments were in agreement with the benefits to be had from TABS.

International Container Terminal Services, Inc., (ICTSI) the largest port

operator in the Philippines, has rolled out at the Manila International Container Terminal (MICT) the online container booking system, the Terminal Appointment Booking System (TABS).

An electronic platform for booking containers at the MICT and other international ports in Manila, TABS was specifically developed to minimize road traffic and prevent container build-ups especially with the approach of the holiday season.

The new system will ensure a more organized flow of containerized cargoes in and out of the MICT while providing real-time information on container status.

Booking an appointment can be done within minutes through three simple steps. After logging in, port users need to upload their container details in the system. The next step is to search for available booking slots within the given time zones, with users having 15 minutes to select their desired zones for each container.

Once all the details have been reviewed and finalized, users can then proceed to confirm their appointment.

Booked slots further facilitate service levels and all but eliminate truck queues because the container terminal controls the flow of trucks to and from the terminal. This eliminates the current peaks created by road congestion, truck bans, and other external factors while giving importers and exporters a transparent view of when their trucks are meant to process transactions.

Three days prior to the launch,

ICTSI conducted a two-day training to introduce port users to the functionalities and features of TABS. The system was also soft-launched for select user groups early in September for pilot testing.

With container volume expected to increase heading into the Christmas season, TABS’ implementation addresses the unpredictable surge of trucks that ply the city’s roads.

TABS was made possible through the collaborative efforts of the Philippine supply chain stakeholders and Australia’s 1-Stop Connections Pty. Ltd.

As part of its continuous effort to provide better service to its clients, the Manila International Container Terminal (MICT) has added the following new information features to its Track and Trace system. These features allow for more precise searches, resulting in improved overall user experience:

• Vessel registry number• X-Ray and DEA Tag• Storage start• Declared Container Weight

The South Cotabato Integrated Port Services, Inc. celebrated its 40th year by hosting a sports festival with the theme “Work as a team, play as a team. All it takes is a point to win.”

SCIPSI has always been consistent when it comes to emphasizing the value of teamwork, which is a key factor not only in

sports but also in the context of work. The month-long celebration started

last 1 August with the employee parade held at the Makar Wharf in GenSan. Employees showcased energetic performances complemented by colorful costumes for each team.

The culmination day events were held on 29 August, starting with a morning

fun run followed by basketball and badminton games. Employees and their dependents joined SCIPSI’s Got Talent where they showcased their singing, dancing and other unique skills.

The evening program started with dinner for clients and SGV officers. SCIPSI capped the month-long celebration with the awarding of prizes to the winning teams.

Subic Bay International Terminal Corporation (SBITC), in partnership with the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA), SBMA-Ecology Center and the ICTSI Foundation, conducted its first tree planting activity last 15 August 2015 in the mountains of Sta. Rita, Hermosa Bataan.

More than 70 SBITC employees and their families participated in the activity that highlights the importance of maintaining the balance between industrial progress and environmental preservation. Edmond De Jesus, a SBMA Ecologist, and Mechell Madriaga, SBITC Safety Officer and Tree Planting Project Head, led the volunteers and reminded them that the industrial and ecological systems in Subic also affect the nearby towns and provinces.

Aside from planting trees, the volunteers also distributed grocery items to nearby Aeta communities.

The tree planting activity is part of SBITC’s environmental preservation initiative and was done to support SBMA’s reforestation and forest preservation efforts.

ICTSI Foundation promotes environmental protection awareness to public school pupils

By Dr. Patricia M. Licup and Michael Vincent Z. Llorente

Responding to the request of Timoteo Paez Elementary School in Pasay City, the ICTSI Foundation held a symposium on Ecological Solid Waste Management and Climate Change for 132 Grades 4, 5 and 6 pupils last August 8.

Dr. Patricia M. Licup and Michael Vincent Z. Llorente of the Foundation’s Training and Capacity Development Section, lectured on Climate Change, Republic Act 9003-otherwise known as the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of the Philippines, the Manila Bay and the Writ of Continuing Mandamus by the Supreme Court.

Students diligently took down notes, participated in all the activities and interacted enthusiastically with the resource

speakers. They also made a pledge to apply what they learned in their daily activities and thereby contribute to the overall efforts towards environmental management and protection.

The symposium is just one among a series of similar seminars which the Foundation plans to conduct to spread environmental protection awareness not only to its public school-partners, but also to the host communities, employees and other stakeholders of ICTSI and its subsidiaries.

The ICTSI Foundation Training and Capacity Development Team conduct environmental awareness and management trainings for youth organizations in ICTSI partner schools and communities in line with the Foundation’s development pillar on community welfare.

In attendance were YES-O and Science Club Advisers Roni Sapad (left) and Ruby Casulla.

ICTSI Colombia gears for start in 2016By Lorena Valero

Sociedad Puerto Industrial de Aguadulce S.A. (SPIA), a unit of International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI) in Colombia, recently received four super post Panamax quay cranes (QC) and five rubber-tired gantries (RTG) as it enters the final stage of preparation for the operational launch in 2016 of the Aguadulce Multi-User Container Terminal (AMCT) at the Port of Buenaventura, Colombia.

Top photo: The quay cranes were shipped by the vessel Zhen Hua 14.

SPIA staff and officials welcome the arrival of the terminal’s first four quay cranes.

Manufactured by Shanghai Zhenhua Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. (ZPMC), the QCs have an individual lifting capacity of 60 tons, and feature twin lift spreaders. They can reach up to 65 meters into the water and perform up to 40 moves per hour. With a maximum lift height of 46 meters, the QCs are capable of servicing 18,000-TEU Triple E class vessels.

The RTGs, on the other hand, feature single spreader lifts and a 41-ton capacity. Estimated to cost around USD50 million, the equipment purchase is part of ICTSI’s USD545 million total investment in the Port of Buenaventura.

Development of the AMCT is divided into three phases. The first phase, which is slated for completion by April next year, will yield an annual capacity of around 600,000 TEUs.

First phase development includes a 600-meter berth length with a 14.5-meter controlling depth, an 11-hectare container yard, a 250-meter coal bulk dock, conveyor belt-equipped silos and a 21-kilometer access road leading to the terminal. It also includes the construction of warehouses and inspection areas, as well as the deployment of automation and other state-of-the-art port technologies.

In July 2007, ICTSI won the 30-year concession for the construction and operation of a container terminal and grains and coal-handling facility at the Port of Buenaventura. ICTSI acquired stakes in two Panamanian companies to gain effective control of SPIA, which owns 240 hectares of land in the Aguadulce Peninsula and its surroundings.

In 2013, ICTSI and PSA International Pte. Ltd of Singapore entered into an agreement to jointly develop and operate the container terminal and its ancillary facilities. Upon completion, the Greenfield project is expected to become a catalyst for Colombian trade growth.

ICTSI NEWSBREAK

It’s already been a year since the staff of Basra Gateway Terminal (BGT) moved to Camp Manila in Umm Qasr, Iraq. As the popular saying goes, “time flies when you’re having fun.” This must certainly be the case for residents of Camp Manila.

It’s not easy to live in a place like Basra, where movement is limited. Residents need to live in close proximity to Port of Umm Qasr for obvious practical and safety reasons. Nevertheless, BGT Management has undertaken measures to make life as comfortable as possible for ICTSI employees at Camp Manila. Each room at the camp is well-maintained, and is equipped with a full satellite TV package and fast internet connection.

A very good catering team provides the camp with an exceptional range of food. The only downside to this is that those who wish to go on a diet would have a hard time resisting the mouth-watering desserts prepared by the chefs.

The Camp Boss, who serves as a parent to residents, ensures everything is running as should be at the camp.

As if all these amenities are not enough, a recreational area is being set up for employees to play table tennis, darts, billiards, foosball and board games.

Here’s what some of the residents have to say about living at the camp:

“Living 24/7 among different nationalities/cultures is an eye-opening experience and emphasizes the true meaning of working in a global company. It is a very rare opportunity that you will not experience elsewhere easily.”

— Hany Salama, BGT CFO

“When you spend all your time with the people you work with, you develop a different kind of bond….you develop a much deeper relationship with your colleagues and they become more like a family.”

— Phillip Marsham, BGT CEO

“Time went so fast, it was a surprise to me when we got together for celebrating the anniversary of our camp. Though it is quite different, living in a camp, I still feel like coming home after a day of hard work. Rooms are well equipped and maintained with good hygienic standards. All facilities that are essential for living a comfortable life are available here. After work, I like to sit down and chat with others. Sometimes, I also enjoy cooking in the kitchen and making some good Indian dishes.”

— Arumoy Bhowmick, BGT Chief Engineer

“Being the only woman in the camp (so far) for the past one year, has been pleasant and challenging at the same time. It’s pleasant because unlike in the previous projects I’ve been in, we’d have to commute to the market weekly to do the groceries, cook our own meals, wash our own clothes, clean our rooms etc. Here in the camp, I feel blessed because our contractors take care of our security, meals, laundry and room cleaning. It’s like living in a hotel every day! Sometimes it’s challenging because there’s no salon/beauty parlor, no malls or parks you can go to that’s close by. Most importantly, I can’t ask anyone in the camp for “feminine products.” So every time I come back from my R&R, my suitcase is filled with so much stuff that it looks like I’m putting up a small store.”

— Maria Lee G. Sumadchat, HRD Career Management Supervisor

Residents of Manila Camp gather for a small feast in celebration of the camp’s first anniversary.

For expats and employees stationed at BGT, the Manila Camp serves as their home away from home.

Manila Camp’s chef’s make life easier for everyone at Manila Camp by preparing great quality food.

The camp also features a gym where residents can work out and stay fit.

Ang Maestro – Nestor VillalonNi Ricardo Paredes

Kung si Efren “Bata” Reyes ang tinaguriang “The Magician” sa larangan ng billiards, at si Manny Pacquaio ay “People’s Champ” pagdating sa boxing, si Nestor Villalon naman ng MICT ang binansagang “Maestro” pagdating sa pag-ooperate ng quay crane.

Si Ginoong Villalon ay tanyag dahil sa kanyang kahusayan sa pagpapatakbo ng quay crane. Siya ay nagsimula sa ICTSI bilang isang quay crane operator noong 1996. Makalipas ang mahigit apat na taon, napabilang siya sa mga in-house equipment trainers. Marami sa mga

Si Nestor Villalon (pangatlo mula sa kaliwa).

kasalukuyang operators sa MICT ang natuto sa kanya.

Nang akin siyang makausap, inilirawan niya ang kanyang sarili bilang isang simpleng empleyado.

“Simple lang naman ako. Basta pag nasa trabaho, dapat nag-ooperate. Hindi ka nag-iisip ng mga problema. Alam ko naman na lahat ng tao ay mayroong mga problema. Sa trabaho kasi natin, konsentrasyon at ibayong pag-iingat ay talagang kailangan.”

Masaya si Nestor sa pagbabahagi ng kanyang kaalaman sa pag-ooperate ng mga quay crane.

“Nakakataba nga ng puso kasi yung mga naturuan ko ay ka-level ko na. Pakiramdam ko nga minsan mas mahusay pa sila sa akin. Pero hanggang ngayon, Master pa din ang tawag nila sa akin.”

Dahil sa kanyang angking kaalaman, si Nestor ay kabilang sa mga malimit ipinadadala sa ibang terminal ng ICTSI upang magturo sa paghawak ng quay crane.

“Naalala ko yung mga napuntahan kong lugar sa labas ng bansa. Kahit hindi ako magaling mag-ingles,

naiintindihan naman ng aking mga tinuturuan kapag nagde-demonstrate na ako. Ngunit minabuti ko rin na aralin na lang ang mga lokal lenggwahe gaya ng Russian at Croratian.”

Ibinahagi rin sa akin ni Nestor ang kanyang pananaw hinggil sa pagreretiro.

“Alam mo pare, darating ang araw na sa ayaw at sa gusto mo, tayo’y ay aalis rin sa ICTSI alinsunod sa mga patakaran sa pagreretiro. Sa kabila nito, masaya ako dahil alam ko na may maganda naman akong naibahagi sa ating kumpanya. Tiwala ako na kapag dumating ang araw na iyon, mayroong mahusay o mas mahusay pa na papalit sa akin upang siya namang magsalin ng kaalaman hingil sa pagpapatakbo ng quay crane. Baka may pumalit na din sa akin bilang Master,” biro niya.

“Nagpapasalamat ako sa ating mga boss sa pagtitiwala sa aking kakayahan. Hindi ko na sasabihin kung sino dahil alam naman nila kung sino sila.”

Bilib kami sa iyo Nestor. Di ka man kasing sikat gaya ni Efren Reyes at Manny Pacquiao, para sa munting daigdig ng MICT ay ikaw ang Master. Mabuhay ka!
