The Manila International Container Terminal (MICT), the flagship operation of global port operator International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI), said it continues to perform optimally as it gears up for the peak season. These numbers underscore the terminal’s strong performance despite the uptick in container volume as global trade continues to rebound. Historical data from the PPA also show consistent MICT volume growth since 2015, with productivity and utilization staying proportionally healthy all throughout. Despite the difference in the nature of the cause, the recent port congestion in Yangshan was comparably similar to the Manila port congestion in 2014. To further ease container movement and ensure seamless operations at the MICT, ICTSI implemented capacity and facility upgrades.
