More than just moving goods, CGSA has taken the lead in uniting stakeholders towards boosting the supply chain through the creation of the Logisitics Community of the Port of Guayaquil (Comunidad Logística del Puerto de Guayaquil), aimed at improving the competitiveness of Ecuador businesses in foreign trade.

The first port logistics community in Ecuador and the entire region, CLPG serves as a platform for businesses with connections to the Port of Guayaquil in bringing research-based, technical solutions to optimize logistics capabilities within the supply chain.

“As the leading maritime gateway of Ecuador, we are working hard towards the creation of a community that is representative of the needs and interests of the port community.  This collaborative, innovative, and pioneering framework in the region will allow us to improve and optimize the supply chain and processes of importers and exporters operating in the Port of Guayaquil,” says José Antonio Contreras, CGSA Chief Executive Officer.

With greater logistics collaboration, businesses will be able to maximize the commercial potential of Ecuador’s top commodities while reducing costs at the same time.

“The creation of the Logistics Community of the Port of Guayaquil creates a unique vehicle to maximize opportunities for growth,” Contreras adds.

The members of the logistic community, companies and business organizations represent more than 83 percent of Ecuador’s non-oil exports. The most important in volume

is the banana, which represents 63 percent of the non-oil exports of the country.

Those supporting the needs of Ecuador’s top exports – bananas, shrimps, paper, and wood products – are already members of the logistics community:  Association of Banana Exporters of Ecuador (AEBE), Agzulasa, Reybanpac, Industrial Pesquera Santa Priscilla, Ecuadorian Association of Teak and Tropical Wood (ASOTECA), Multiteak, Papelera Nacional SA, Soprisa, and Procarsa.

Banco Guayaquil and RSA Insurance, the largest financial service networks in Ecuador, are also part of this new initiative

Julio Mackliff, Vice President of Banco Guayaquil, lauded the impact of the new logistics community towards improving the competitiveness of Ecuador businesses:  “CLPG is an emblematic and innovative project in Ecuador.  Banco de Guayaquil is not only supporting this initiative but is and will continue to be an active member. We are convinced about the positive results that this union of big companies will contribute for the economic and social development of our country.”

Eduardo Ledesma, Executive Director of AEBE adds that the collaboration among different supply chain stakeholders ensures that the country stays on top as the world’s largest banana exporter:  “The opening and approach of Contecon Guayaquil to the export sectors of Ecuador has been seen and is perceived with optimism. We, the banana exporters, see with good eyes that this initiative will allow us to reach competitive improvements for the sectors.”

International Container Terminal Services, Inc.’s (ICTSI) largest port concession in the Americas, Contecon Guayaquil SA (CGSA), and Ecuador’s top business firms team up towards improving the competitiveness of the country’s supply chain through the formation of the Comunidad Logística del Puerto de Guayaquil (CLPG).

CGSA, ICTSI’s largest port project in Latin America, recently made strides towards greater trade facilitation, supporting the local economy through various investments in port infrastructure and technology.

Recently, CGSA expressed support for the government’s construction of a 44.2-kilometer road connecting Guayaquil Port with the south-central areas of the country’s coast and the country’s highlands.

In July, CGSA was likewise approved by the Ministry of Transport and Public Works to handle up to 305-meter mega vessels, essentially becoming the first and only container terminal in Ecuador capable of handling two mega vessels simultaneously.  

This follows the inauguration of the terminal’s new greenfield development in January—an expanded logistics support area capable of handling more than 6,000 containers. 

ICTSI has already invested USD325 million for its 20-year concession period to operate the Guayaquil Container and Multipurpose Terminals at the Port of Guayaquil.

The vessels’ arrival signals Melbourne’s ability to match the performance of Sydney and Brisbane in servicing the larger capacity vessels currently being introduced into key Australian container trades.

“VICT’s unique location within the port means we can easily berth the next gene-ration vessels without being restricted by the West Gate Bridge and the turning basin upstream. Now that we have the approval for these larger vessels to call at VICT, we are very excited about what this means for the future trade growth for Victoria,” said VICT’s CEO, Anders Dømmestrup.      

The 334-meter long COSCO Thailand covers the Southeast Asia-Australia route, linking the ports of Kelang in Malaysia; Singapore; Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide in Australia; and Jakarta in Indonesia.  Meanwhile, the 323-meter long OOCL Seoul operates under the central China-Australia East Coast Service jointly operated by COSCO and ANL.  The latter service has been the subject of a capacity boost via

the introduction 8,063- to 8,500-TEU of boxships.

“This has been our vision from the very beginning when we started the VICT project.  The investments we made in automation and other state-of-the-art technology is fixated on addressing the Port of Melbourne’s (PoM)need for more efficient port operations and ability to handle larger capacity vessels.  Addressing these requirements are critical considering PoM is Australia’s best-connected port,” said Christian Gonzalez, ICTSI Global Corporate Head.

VICT, as planned by the PoM Corporation and developed by International Container Terminal Services, Inc., is a highly automa-ted container terminal designed to meet Melbourne’s increasing capacity require-ment.  More importantly, VICT provides an efficient solution to the handling of larger ships progressively being introduced into the Australian container trade lanes.

As part of the A3 Central consortium, Victoria International Container Terminal (VICT)

achieved a significant feat by welcoming two of the largest vessels to ever come to the Port of Melbourne (PoM) – the 8,501-TEU COSCO Thailand and 8,063-TEU OOCL Seoul, a new and regular service to VICT.

The recent terminal development programs at Basra Gateway Terminal (BGT) have progressively boosted the capability of the Port of Umm Qasr to receive direct calls from larger container vessels.

BGT achieved a significant milestone late August with the servicing of Evergreen’s 5652-TEU capacity Ever Useful. The boxship, which features a length overall of 285 meters, beam of 40 meters, and gross tonnage of 69,246 tons, is, by far, the largest to call Berth 27 at BGT. It operates under Evergreen’s Asia-Middle East service which links the ports of Shanghai, Ningbo, and Shekou in China; Taipei in Taiwan; Hong Kong; Tanjung Pelapas and Klang in Malaysia; Jebel Ali in the United Arab Emirates; and Umm Qasr in Iraq.

During the call, the terminal handled 4,500 TEUs while achieving a net move rate of over 50 moves per hour with a two-quay

crane operation.

“ICTSI is pleased to take a leading role in investing in Iraq’s port infrastructure, enabling the country to connect most efficiently with global liner services. The ability to serve direct calls from large vessels delivers has reduced cost and cargo transit times, and brings other key benefits to cargo importers,” emphasized Hans-Ole Madsen, ICTSI Senior Vice President and Europe, Middle East and Africa Regional Head.

Phillip Marsham, BGT Chief Executive Officer, further noted: “BGT’s investment program is designed to match the requirements of a growing Iraqi economy and the need to accommodate ever larger liner vessels. The call of the Ever Useful symbolizes how far Umm Qasr has come in improving port infrastructure to meet today’s global logistic chain requirements. It also clearly demonstrates

the growing confidence of container lines in the economy of Iraq and the associated container trade growth.”

International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI) is currently in the middle of several development projects to further enhance BGT’s ability to service larger ships. Upon completion by 2019, BGT will have 600 meters of berth; 14-meter draft alongside; 30-hectare terminal area; and one million TEU annual capacity.

Upon completion in 2019, BGT will feature a total berth length of 600 meters, maximum draught of 14 meters alongside, terminal area of 30 hectares, and an annual capacity of one million TEUs. In terms of equipment, on the pipeline are seven rubber tired gantry cranes and three super post-Panamax quay cranes, which can handle up to 9,000-TEU capacity vessels.

After several rigorous months of process alignments and audits, Basra Gateway Terminal (BGT) successfully obtained key ISO certifications, namely: 9001:2015 Quality Management System, 14001:2015 Environmental Management System, and OHSAS 18001:2007 Occupational Health and Safety Management System. 

These certifications are proof that BGT’s management systems are in line with international standards and the necessary processes are in place to achieve continuous improvement as well as health and safety performance required to support customer needs. 

“We are proud to achieve these important accreditations.  We consider Safety and Environmental Management of fundamental importance in every aspect of our operations,” said Phillip Marsham, BGT Chief Executive Officer.

He adds: “Our HSSE policy is implemented through structured initiatives and programs that are consistent with internationally recognized management systems.  As such, our clients can rest assured that our system

processes and management procedures are in line with the global quality standards in delivering port operations and logistics solutions.”

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is a global federation of national standards organizations.  The ISO 9001:2015 certification for quality management systems is based on principles such as customer focus, risk and process-based approaches, and the commitment for continuous improvement.  ISO 14001:2015 specifies the requirements for an effective environmental management system, while OHSAS 18001:2007 helps organizations establish demonstrably sound occupational health and safety performance.

Subic Bay International Terminal Corp. (SBITC), the fastest-growing Philippine subsidiary of International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI), is collaborating with Royal Cargo Inc. to facilitate seamless trade movement to and from north and central Luzon (NCL) and help small- and medium-sized enterprises expand their operations.

The collaboration provides the Filipino business communities in NCL with a world-class and highly efficient 4PL combination, delivering superior customer service and attractive pricing.

“The joint efforts of the SBITC and Royal Cargo have increased cold storage options that will improve the quality of refrigerated cargo coming in and out of the country in a fast and efficient manner.  This creates opportunities within the value chain to allow local

businesses to promote their market further outside of the traditional centers like Manila,” said Roberto Locsin, SBITC President.

SBITC’s New Container Terminals (NCT 1 & 2) would be utilized by NCL local businesses at their utmost advantage, expanding their market operations even outside the Philippines.

“The North Hub will take us one step closer to helping companies across the country achieve growth and expand to new markets such as the Asia Pacific region.  With SBITC, we are now able to provide direct connectivity to major intra-Asia and global ports, which makes our operations a lot easier,” said Elmer Sarmiento, Royal Cargo President.

Subic’s terminal handling charges are 48 percent less expensive compared to other terminals despite being the first and only on-

dock warehouse in Region III that can connect to NCL’s largest cold chain facility operated by Royal Cargo.

Businesses that ship via Royal Cargo can now take advantage of SBITC’s perks like its one-stop shop service facilities and 10-day free storage period while enjoying the terminal’s world-class container handling services–not to mention SBMA’s deferred payment of duties and taxes, added Mr. Locsin.

“The best thing about this partnership with Royal Cargo is its sustainable shipping services we can offer to the Filipino entrepreneurs in NCL despite their increasing logistics demands.  These two regions are a strong business hub in the making, and I couldn’t be more proud knowing SBITC is going to be part of that success,” concludes Mr. Locsin.

ICTSI’s senior management, led by Chairman Razon, during the Advanced Corporate Governance Training.

International Container Terminal Serivces, Inc. (ICTSI) continues its Corporate Governance thrusts with the in-house Advanced Corporate Governance Training last 15 August.

Nineteen directors and senior officers including Enrique K. Razon Jr., ICTSI Chairman and President, joined the session, which was organized by the ICTSI Global Corporate Legal Affairs Team headed by Joel Consing, ICTSI Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, and Compliance Officer.

Mandated by the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission, the annual training was conducted by the Institute of Corporate Directors (ICD).  Two speakers from ICD and one from ICTSI facilitated the three-topic knowledge sharing session.

The first topic, titled “Digital Trade-Offs: Promise in the Gig Economy and Peril in the Gig Economy,” was presented by ICD’s Ricardo Nicanor Jacinto.  The presentation tackled the accelerating advances in technology over the past years, and the

future of companies in the digital age.  Mr. Jacinto discussed the technologies that used to exist only in movies but are now being utilized in our era. 

He also discussed the role of Big Data and Blockchain in today’s setting and provided a cautious reminder on the implications of the emerging technologies in the marketing, entertainment, health, and political sectors.  The presentation also touched on detecting disruptions and sustaining innovation, providing examples of how emerging technologies affect established corporations and institutions.

For the second part of his presentation, Mr. Jacinto tackled the dangers of today’s high-tech world.  Among the discussions were cyber threat metrics, cyberspace, and the role of cyber security in combatting vulnerabilities that companies could face.  He finished his presentation with a discussion on what company directors can and should do to ensure their respective companies’ resilience against cyber attacks.

The second speaker was Reynaldo Mark Cruz Jr., Information Technology Systems and Services Director of ICTSI’s flagship Manila International Container Terminal (MICT).  Mr. Cruz discussed blockchain technology and its difference from traditional banking, as well as the current blockchain scenario–possible business relevance, advantages, and potential downside. 

Lastly, William Wayne Quesang of ICD talked about the environment, social and governance (ESG).  Mr. Quesang discussed the importance of the ESG Rating and its comparison to credit ratings, as well as how the ratings are processed.  The presentation pinpointed which ESG issues are significant and which risks expose them. 

The presentation also highlighted the uses of the rating using examples pertaining to an industry player, as well as an industry report on transportation infrastructure. 

Also in attendance were Shiela Panares, a SEC representative, and the ICTSI Global Corporate Legal Affairs Team.

Contecon Manzanillo (CMSA), as part of its commitment to protect the environment and its surrounding communities, took part in the tree planting initiative organized by the National Forestry Commission (NAFOCOR) last 19 August.

With the motto “I plant my future,” the event aims to strengthen the green areas of the community through the participation of the port community, private institutions, and other stakeholders from Manzanillo, Colima and other nearby communities. 

More than 2,000 individuals gathered at the Emiliano Zapata School common grounds to plant 2,500 species of trees including coral, purple rose, and spring.  The tree planting covered a total of three hectares.  At the same time, the event promoted family bonding through meaningful activities while teaching children the importance of caring for the environment.

The activity was attended by David Rodri-guez Brizuela, CONAFOR State Manager, who was accompanied by Gonzalo Ortiz, CMSA Institutional and Government Relations Director; Sergio Agustin Morales Anguiano, Colima Rural Development Secre-tary; Sergio Sanchez Ochoa, SEMARNAT Federal Delegate; Raul Sandoval Calderon, Grupo Hazesa Director General; and repre-sentatives from PROFEPA, CONAGUA, TV Azteca, and other private institutions.

Basra Gateway Terminal (BGT) continued its tradition of sharing meat with local communities in commemoration of Eid-al--Adha or Feast of Sacrifice last August.

BGT staff led the distribution of packaged meat to nearby communities as families went out to the streets to meet the staff.  Surrounded by small children, it was

heartening to see the appreciation as BGT personnel handed the gifts.

“In today’s economy, companies play an important role in the communities where they operate.  They create jobs, improve infrastructure, and facilitate the flow of do-mestic and international trade,” said Phillip Marsham, BGT Chief Executive Officer. 

He adds: “BGT has a tradition of contribu-ting to local communities and supporting several good causes.  The simple sharing of meat is one of our meaningful Eid traditions we celebrate together with communities in Umm Qasr.”

The Parola Inter-Agency Network (PIAN) – Health Cluster, in partnership with the Family Planning Organization of the Philippines and the Manila Social Hygiene Clinic, spearheaded a two-day seminar on adolescent reproductive health for 12 teens from the Parola community.

International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI), through the Parola Inter-Agency Network–Education Cluster, distributed school supplies to 200 parola senior high school students and employee dependents.

ICTSI believes in providing the youth with access to education to promote inclusive

economic and social development.  With the K-12 Program already in place, a considerable number of students who finished junior high school find it hard to continue to senior high school due to financial constraints.  The donation, which included assorted school supplies, is a simple way to encourage these students to continue with their studies.
