DP World in collaboration with their partner Asian Terminals Inc. (ATI) announced the $ 100 million investment aimed at increasing the capacity and significant performance in South Harbor – one of the busiest business gates in the Philippines.
Driving capacity and promotion of performance
The investment is designed to enhance the capability of controlling the South Manila of 20 % and adds more than 400,000 TEUs (twenty -feet unit) to the annual port capacity of the port.
The move not only ensures that the port will keep up with the increase in the volume of the Philippine trade but also strengthen the role of Manila in the global supply chain.
Advances will include renovating cargo equipment, boosting yard and dock productivity, and updating operational technologies for international standards.
These updates are also coordinated with the strategic goal of the Philippine government in promoting integrated logistics, multi -mode and supply chain connection.
Long -term participation in practice
DP World has been interested in ATI since 2018, and this initiative reflects long -term and strategic cooperation between the two institutions.
Their common focus has been on operational excellence, reliability of service and innovation in both domestic and international freight.
Sultan Ahmad bin Salim, Chairman and CEO of DP World GroupCommented “DP World is proud to work with the Philippines in modernizing and advancing its important business infrastructure.
Investing in ports and logistics reduces the value of the value chain to societies, the commitment we visualize in DP World as a business and leader in smart logistics.“
“We will gain more investment projects in the coming years, relying on strong participation and seeing the huge economic potential, to put the gate terminals in Manila, Batangas, Kavit and Laguna in support of the Filipino economy growth.“Sulayem added.
Increasing economic resistance
For the Philippines, where business plays an important role in GDP, this promotion is an important factor for economic resistance and competition. This is not just about the capacity-this is about agility, efficiency and preparation of the future.
With the increase in consumer demand, e -commerce and regional integration, there is also a need for smarter and scalable port infrastructure.
And this is exactly what this investment brings – an infrastructure increase is designed not only to serve today’s freight currents but also to predict tomorrow’s growth.
A supply chain strategy forward
Given the global supplies that face high pressure from geopolitical changes, climate disorders and capacity imbalances, the South Manila port project reaches a pivotal moment.
This reflects a broader change in resistance to infrastructure and regional self-esteem-Geals that have become the top priorities for emerging economies throughout Asia and Oceania.
Since DP World continues to expand its traces throughout the region, its cooperation with ATI shows how private investment, when conforming to national priorities, can provide a significant and lasting value to commercial ecosystems.
End
President Ati Eusebio Tanco said “We are very pleased to open these large development projects that collectively increase our capacity and ability to provide comprehensive and responsive market services to our customers and stakeholders.
ATI, along with our partners from DP World, is proud of our contribution to economic progress with the assurance of supply chain efficiency through ATI strategic ports and ATI logistics assets“
With the first phase of the upcoming update, the southern port is well designed to become a next-generation marine gate-not only to move the cargo but to move the economy forward.
