VICT uses an array of 1-Stop solutions, which includes a special version of the Vehicle Book designed specifi-cally for VICT. The VBS, 1-Stop’s flagship product, is the premier system for Terminal to Landside interface. It is currently deployed in 12 terminals across Austra-lia, New Zealand and the Philippines. Some of the benefits of using 1-Stop’s VBS include reduced queue times, decreased truck turnaround times, decreased vessel dwell times, improved throughput, and increased terminal utilization.

VICT uses 1-Stop Vehicle Booking System

Victoria International Container Terminal (VICT) has tapped 1-Stop Connections to implement its Vehicle Booking System (VBS) after the successful implementation of the Terminal Appointment Booking System (TABS) at the Manila International Container Terminal (MICT) in the Philippines.

Aside from the VBS, VICT also utilizes 1-Stop’s customs-and-shipping line-enabled message integra-tion, Pre-Receival Advice with new Weigh at Terminal functions, online payments system, gate access via ID card, and Electronic Import Delivery Orders. These are integrated with VICT’s systems via 1-Stop’s CargoCon-nect, a middle-ware technology that connects all of VICT’s systems and provides real-time data to both VICT and their customers.

NEWSBREAK

Pakistan International Container Terminal (PICT) has gotten to a good start in 2017 after recording its highest monthly volume last January. PICT saw a volume increase of 17.7 percent in January compared to the same month in 2016. The number serves as a significant accomplishment for PICT as the record volume exceeded the terminal’s actual capacity. “This accomplishment proves our ability to rise to the occasion and exceed expectations. We are proud of the combined efforts of our teams who made this achieve-ment possible,” said Capt. Zafar Iqbal Awan, PICT Chief Executive Officer. He adds: “We, as an organization, continuously seek to maximize our operations in order to deliver consis-tent and efficient service to our valued customers and move forward with respect to our volume contribution to Pakistan for 2017.”

ICTSI CARES

The ICTSI Foundation, Inc., the corporate social responsibility (CSR) arm of International Container Terminal Services, Inc., (ICTSI) recently renewed its partnership with the Philippine Business for Social Progress, the largest business sector-led social development foundation in the country.

The Foundation and PBSP signed agreements involving four CSR projects amounting to PHP 13.5 million. The new agreements further strengthened the ICTSI Group’s commitment as a corporate citizen of the country through the Foundation’s support of PBSP programs and projects. Of note are projects supporting indigenous peoples’ education and the Philippine government’s campaign against illegal drugs. These projects were chosen as they are aligned with the Foundation’s core advocacy: the youth. The projects are construction of a school building at the Calay Indigenous Peoples (IP) School in Saranggani; construction of a dormitory building at the Bataan Treatment Rehabilitation Center; continued implementation of the Parola Solid Waste Management Project in Manila; and the installation of a potable water system in an IP community in Tarlac.

The locations of the projects are the immediate and hinter-land communities of ICTSI terminals in the ports of Gen. Santos, Subic Bay and Manila. All projects should have been completed before the end of 2017.

School building at the Calay IP School

In coordination with the Philippine Department of Education, a new school building will be constructed for the Calay Indigenous Peoples School in Sitio Puting Bato, Barangay Lunmasia, Malapatan town, Saranggani Province. Sitio Puting Bato is the community of the B’laan tribe where Marlito Soriano, ICTSI international scholar at Northeastern University in Boston, came from. The building will have two classrooms and two restrooms with a capacity to accommodate 90 primary and elementary school students. The Foundation will also provide tables, chairs, cabinets and other school furniture.

Treatment Rehabilitation Center. The new dormitory is for 120 patients housed at the drug treatment facility. The 455-square meter dormitory will be furnished with 60 double-deck beds.

Parola Solid Waste Management Project Year 4

On its fourth year of implementation, the Parola Solid Waste Management Project will be focusing on capability building programs with the help of government partners Philippine Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Philippine Department Social Welfare and Development, and the City Government of Manila. These include training programs that would further enhance knowledge and skills on solid waste management among Eco Patrols and residents.

Potable water system in Sitio Batchon IP community

In coordination with the Clark Development Corp. and the Municipal Government of Bamban, Tarlac, some 65 IP families of the Aeta tribe will benefit from the installation of a potable water system in Sitio Batchon, Barangay Santo Nino, Bamban town, Tarlac. The Sitio Batchon project is an extension of an existing water system project in nearby Barangay San Martin,

where 350 households are also awaiting its completion. The project includes rehabilitation of deep wells and the installation of tap stance for water distribution. Plans are underway to form a community organization that will manage the water system project. Aside from the funding provided by the Foundation, ICTSI clients in Manila significantly donated to the project. ICTSI and PBSP

ICTSI’s and PBSP’s partnership dates back to June 1992 when ICTSI became a member company of PBSP, marking the start of the Group’s corporate citizenship program. When the Foundation was established in May 2009, PBSP shepherded the Foundation in its initial years of operations. The Foundation’s CSR programs are designed to provide support mechanisms to young persons in the areas of education, community welfare and sports in communities where ICTSI ports and terminals operate.

The ICTSI Foundation’s Christmas Wish Tree Project continued its successful run last 2016. Now on its second year, the annual gift-giving initiative has attracted the support of 164 kind souls including ICTSI employees and their families and friends, security and auxilliary personnel, clients and MICT third-party consultants.

Christmas Wish Tree Projectcontinues successful run

This year’s pool of donors granted the Christmas wishes of 339 children and teens under the care of Asociacion de Damas de Filipinas, White Cross Children’s Home, Pangarap Foundation, Onesimu Bulilit Foundation – Tondo and Quiapo. Prior to the actual turnover of gifts, the Foundation held parties complete with games and meals for all the children and staff of each institution.

“It was a touching experience to witness how the children were excitedly anticipating their gifts. They were very happy upon opening their presents, all wearing smiles,” said one of the ICTSI employees who personally handed her gift to one of the kids.

The Christmas Wish Tree Project aims to engage the whole ICTSI community in sharing the holiday spirit with the less fortunate members of society, especially children. The ICTSI Foundation expresses its heart-felt appreciation to everyone who participated in last year’s gift-giving activity.

ICTSI Global Corporate Grouphosts Christmas party for Tondo kids

Solaire Security Group shares the joy of Christmas with Parañaque street children

Last December, the Social Services Development Ministry (SSDM) of San Pablo Apostol Parish Church in Tondo, Manila wanted to organize a Christmas Party for the children under their feeding program. With limited budget, they sought ways to make the party possible with the help of the ICTSI Foundation.

The ICTSI Global Corporate HR hosted a Christmas Merienda for ICTSI officers, employees and guests. Everyone was encouraged to bring

food to be given to a beneficiary identified by the Foundation. Guests brought biscuits, candies, milk and other grocery items, which were later turned over to the Foundation and repacked into 100 bags.

The ICTSI Global Corporate Group, through the ICTSI Foundation, made the Christmas party for the indigent Tondo kids possible. The Foundation donated the grocery items to the children’s party and sponsored Jollibee meals for 100 kids.

Jocy Santos, SSDM Coordinator of San Pablo Apostol Parish Church, thanked the ICTSI Foundation and the ICTSI Global Corporate Group for answering their prayers and putting smiles on the faces of 100 children.

The San Pablo Apostol Parish Church conducts a six-month feeding program for malnourished kids in 16 barangays in Tondo under its juris-diction. The program rotates among other barangays with the help of the respective barangay councils.

Last 12 December, the Security Team of Solaire Resort & Casino, in partnership with the ICTSI Foundation, distributed gifts and organized fun activities for the street children under the care of the Sarnelli Center in Baclaran, Parañaque City. Some of the gifts turned over included monobloc chairs and tables, school supplies, books, educational toys, portable sound system, kitchen tools and utensils, assorted grocery and cleaning materials, blankets, pillows, mats, and lost and found items turned over to the Security Team, but not retrieved by owners.

MICTSI holds outreachand medical mission

The Mindanao International Con-tainer Terminal Services, Inc. (MICTSI), in partnership with the ICTSI Foundation, held its first medical mission and outreach activity last December.

The two-day activity kicked off with the distribution of hygiene kits to 240 daycare pupils in Barangay Sta. Ana, Tagaloan as part of the Company’s advocacy on health and life. Meals were also distributed to the students

courtesy of fast-food Jollibee, which also organized a party with fun games for the children and their parents.

The medical mission at Barangay Sugbong-cogon was conducted the following day. More than 400 residents of Sugbongcogon, MICTSI’s adopted community, received free medical consultation and medicines.

The activities were successful thanks to the assistance of local community officials, the Foundation and MICTSI volunteers.
