ICTSI beefs up operations of Cavite Gateway Terminal

International Container Terminal Services Inc. (ICTSI) has intensified operations of the Philippinesian Cavite Gateway Terminal (CGT) in Tanza, in an effort to find logistical solutions and alternatives for the country’s supply chain.

“As the country begins to re-open the economy, we shall continue to support the country’s importers and exporters, not only through enhancements in our operated terminals but also through practical solutions and alternatives for our importers and exporters,” stated Christian R. Gonzalez, ICTSI executive vice president

One of these alternatives is the CGT, the country’s first dedicated container barge terminal of 60,000 m2, with an annual handling capacity of 115,000 TEU, which provides alternate means of transporting containers from the Port of Manila to the Calabarzon area, south of Manila and back.

The Manila-based port operator has therefore strengthened yard and wharf operations, with the deployment of additional landside container handling equipment, as well as directly contracted barge equipment.

Enhancements at CGT also came at an “opportune” time, with the temporary closure of the southbound portion of Roxas Boulevard, announced by the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA), for repair and civil works.

Roxas Boulevard is part of a cargo truck trade route, connecting the Port of Manila to Southern Luzon and approximately 900 trucks and over 1,000 trailers daily travel the road’s southbound direction alone, according to a statement.

“We support the MMDA call to look for other ways to transport containers, and we are happy to be able to offer an alternative through the services provided by CGT,” commented Gonzalez.
