Page 1 of 1 [Back to companies list]
The government, through the Philippine Ports Authority (PPA), constructed and developed MICT in line with its program to transform Manila into a modern port for seaborne cargoes necessary port services, PPA tapped the participation of the private sector in the management and operation of MICT. The award of MICT to a private firm is in line with PPA s pilot project in the privatization of ports. The International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI), a consortium of private firms (Anscor Ltd. And E. Razon, Inc.) manages and operates MICT in consonance with a twenty five (25) year contract with PPA starting June 12, 1988. The terms and conditions of the Management Contract ensure the entry of much needed investment from the private sector that is necessary to improve cargo handling efficiency and promote faster turn around time of container vessels. However, the PPA Port District of Manila retains supervisory and regulatory role in the entire duration of the management contract. At present, MICT is the country s premier container port with an annual capacity of 1.5 million TEUs and its container handling services are of world-class standard. The port s guaranteed efficiencies have also attracted direct liner calls and transshipment business. MICT container throughput is now more than 72,000 TEUs a month and is handling 62% of international containers passing through the Port of Manila. With MICT also ideal for anchorage operations, ICTSI was allowed by PPA starting 1998 to handle bulk and non-containerized cargoes at MICT. PORT PROFILE Location Located in the nation s capital of Manila, MICT lies between North Harbor and South Harbor, extending westward into the Manila Bay. It is situated just north of the month of Pasig River, the city s main waterway. Total Port Area 606,740 sq. m./60.67 hectares /150 acres Entrance Channel Entrance Channel actually is outside the harbor entrance gate extending 2 km west and ending right into the immediate approach to the entrance gate Harbor Entrance The harbor entrance features a channel 2 km. long and 350 meters wide at the open gap (gate) between the northwest and southwest breakwater. Turning Basin Physical Environment The turning basin represents an area of approximately 100 hectares bounded by a 12 meter contour line located mostly at the southern portion of the inner basin. The inner basin is amply protected by the northwest and southwest breakwater and vessels can still stay safely in port even when weather condition deteriorates beyond condition I. Tides Tides occurs according to predictions of the Tide and Current Table of Manila Bay. An average condition of + 2 cm. can be applied based on actual tidal observations. Currents Later current at northwest directions of less than 0.2 to 0.4 knots observed during ebbing and the same velocity at a southeast direction during flooding. Waves Spilling type waves when southwest surface winds exceed 25 knots observed OBW with height of 1 to 2 meters. Surface swell up to 0.3 to 0.4 meters occur inside the basin at 50 knot surface wind. Access Road One via Manila s Road 10 (6 lanes) then to another 6-lane access road; the other access road; the other access through the domestic port (North Harbor), 4 lane road.

Calamba ICD As part of its commitment to port development, ICTSI established an Inland Container Depot (ICD) located at Calamba, Laguna that features a 25 ha. one stop shop facility. MICT is linked with the Calamba ICD through a rail network, which features a reliable train service with 160 TEU daily capacity. Major users of the rail-linked ICD are manufacturers and exporters in the Calabarzon area and it gives cargo owners a more cost effective, safer and faster mode of container transport. Anchorage & Fairways A quarantine anchorage had been designated for MICT two (2) miles from the MICT entrance. The fairway is 11.0 meters deep and the inner anchorage that can accommodate three (3) vessels has a depth of 11.0 meters.
