ICTSI prepares to add large vessel capability in Manila

International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI) is adding another berth at its flagship port Manila International Container Terminal (MICT), aiming to boost large vessel capability.

Currently under phase two development, MICT’s berth 8 has a design depth of 15 m that will enable the terminal to handle foreign ultra large container vessels with capacities of up to 18,000 teu.

The terminal is capable of handling neo-Panamax ships through berths 6 and 7, which are operated by five quay cranes.
