MICT is the busiest and largest container terminal in the Philippines. With an annual capacity of 1.6 million TEU, the 75-hectare terminal is equipped with ten post-Panamax and Panamax quay cranes (QC) and 40 rubber tired gantries (RTG). MICT can accommodate four to six containerships at one time at its 1,300-metre straight wharf.
ICTSI is further improving MICT’s capacity and facilities with the ongoing Berth 6 project, which will expand the MICT to a further 14 hectares, 375 metres of berth, and additional equipment of three QCs. Eight RTGs were recently delivered for the project.
NCT-1 is an alternative port to the Port of Manila serving trade in the northern and central regions of the island of Luzon especially industrial locators in Subic. It is also being primed as an alternative hub for transshipment in Southeast Asia.
Singapore-based American President Lines (APL) deployed the 4,330TEU capacity vessel. The 259.8-metre ‘APL Bahrain’s’ next port of call is Hong Kong.
