For more capacity in Manila


Philippines-based International Container Terminal Services (ICTSI) is building a new berth in its flagship Manila International Container Terminal (MICT). The construction of the new berth, which will be done in two phases, will allow MICT to handle ULCV that can carry up to 18,000 teu.

 

Currently under design, berth 8 will add a total of 400 m quay and up to 120,000 sqm of yard area in phases. Along with port equipment, the expansion is estimated to cost PHP 15 billion (around USD 230 million). Water alongside will be initially dredged to a depth of 13.5 m with potential further deepening to 15 m draft.

 

Besides the construction of berth 8, ICTSI has commenced the modernisation of berths 1 to 5 and their backup and yard areas. The project includes the installation of additional reefer racks by April to accommodate approximately 300 teu of reefer cargo. (sh)
