MANILA | Ports and Shipping

[hakz2007]

The Port of Manila is the largest seaport in the Philippines, and is the premier international shipping gateway to the country. It is located in the vicinity of Manila Bay.

Amenities

The Port of Cagmat is also known as Manila International Cargo Terminal and is operated by International Container Terminal Services Inc. It is one of Asia's major seaports and one of the Philippines's most active ports.
In a 2005 study, the Port of Manila was listed as the world's 31st most active container port, moving 2,665 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) worth of containers that year.

The bay entrance is 19 kilometres (12 mi) wide and expands to a width of 48 kilometres (30 mi). Mariveles, in the province of Bataan, is an anchorage just inside the northern entrance, and Sangley Point is the former location of Cavite Naval Base.

On either side of the bay are volcanic peaks topped with tropical foliage. 40 kilometres (25 mi) to the north is the Bataan Peninsula and to the south is the province of Cavite.

The port's main areas are known as Manila North (seaport code MNN), Manila South (MNS) and Manila (MNL).

Transportation

Jeep terminals in Pier 15 come from Malanday & Karuhatan in Valenzuela, Monumento/MCU in Caloocan, Retiro/La Loma, Project 2 & 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, Philcoa & Fairview in Quezon City, and Blumentritt & Dapitan in Manila.

History

The Port of Manila and the area dates back to Spanish and pre-Spanish rule of the Philippine Islands. It is recorded that Manila and the Philippines had trade relations with most neighboring countries at least as far back as the 9th to 12th centuries. Major trading partners included China and Japan, with ties to India through the areas that are now Malaysia and Indonesia.

The Spanish-controlled Port of Manila handled trade primarily with China and other East Asian countries, with Mexico, with Arab countries, and directly with Spain from the 16th to mid-19th century CE when the port was opened to all trade ships.

The port was also the staging point for the Manila galleons, a state-monopoly shipping line running to Acapulco and back, which operated virtually continuously from the 16th to the early 19th century CE.
Manila Bay was the setting for the Battle of Manila Bay in 1898 between United States and Spanish forces, and the siege of Corregidor Island by invading Japanese forces in 1942.

BoI approves P14.9B North Harbor project

The Board of Investments (BoI) has approved the registration of the P14.89-billion investment by the Manila North Harbor Port Inc., for the development and management of the largest domestic port in the Philippines.

Trade Undersecretary and BoI managing head Adrian S. Cristobal Jr. said the proposed Manila North Harbor Port project would involve equipping the port with new cargo handling machinery and the upgrade of information technology systems.

“Over the next five years, the project is estimated to provide 49 percent net value added for the services they will provide. Commercial operations of the North Harbor project began last month and are estimated to create 1,448 jobs,” Cristobal said in a statement.

Cristobal added that the project, which would address foreign and domestic loading and unloading of goods and passengers, would boost the country’s cargo capacity.

Cargo volume at Manila North Harbor Port, located at Tondo, Manila, is growing at an average of 5 percent a year.

The project is expected to be completed in six years.

Does this mean Manila ports and other ports thread has been branch out from the maritime thread?

to remove cargo trucks and help decongest metro manila, both south harbor and manila international container port should be closed. asian terminals of south harbor also operates the port of batangas (sta. clara), while ictsi of north harbor also operates the subic container port (nct1 & 2). they can just transfer their cargo handling equipments and facilities there. said ports are state-of-the-art and even supported by expressways but currently underutilized. majority of factories, warehouses, exporters and importers are located outside of metro manila anyway.

Busiest seaport to triple its capacity by next year


(philstar.com) Updated April 03, 2012 12:00 AM Comments (0)

MANILA, Philippines (Xinhua) - The capacity of Manila North Harbor, the Philippines' busiest domestic seaport, will be tripled when a new modern passenger terminal will rise next year, port officials revealed yesterday.

The passenger terminal, which will cost P200 million ($4.66 million) to build, is part of a large two-year expansion program for the Manila North Harbor.

"The concessionaire will expand the capacity to 3,000 passengers a day... today, the capacity is only at 1,000," Philippine Ports Authority (PPA) General Manager Juan Sta. Ana told reporters today.

The first phase of North Harbor's expansion, as approved by the PPA, would involve the expansion of existing wharves and acquisition of new cranes to increase its cargo throughput capacity.

The new passenger terminal will be completed by early next year. Construction started last month. The rest of the works in the first phase would be done by the end of 2013.

The Manila North Harbor is run by the Manila North Harbor Port Inc. (MNHPI), a joint venture between the Romero family's Harbor Center Port Terminal Inc. (65 percent) and San Miguel Corp.-led Petron Corp. (35 percent).
