Ricky Razon beefs up his Subic terminal’s operations with new equipment

A subsidiary of International Container Terminal Services Inc. (ICTSI) has acquired four additional rubber tired gantries (RTG) to boost its overall productivity.
Subic Bay International Terminals Corp. (SBITC) said the RTGs, scheduled for delivery end-this month, would augment the port’s existing fleet of six, enabling quicker truck and vessel turnaround times for smoother cargo flow.
The resulting efficiency gains will allow SBITC to stay ahead of the demand curve and cater to the increased cargo shipments during peak shipping season.
SBITC started using RTGs in 2019, which resulted in reduced truck dwell times, improved yard utilization and a 42 percent increase in the terminal’s static capacity.
With an annual capacity of 600,000 TEUs, SBITC is the gateway to the markets of North and Central Luzon.
