International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI)’s flagship Manila International Container Terminal (MICT) has welcomed Hapag-Lloyd’s inaugural China-Philippines Feeder (CPF) service.
The Tokyo Express arrived at the Port of Manila on 17 March to mark the service’s arrival.
The CPF service connects Nansha, Tanjung Pelapas, Singapore, and key Philippine ports, boosting trade connectivity and offering Philippine importers and exporters better access to regional markets through reliable links to major transshipment hubs.
The CPF service rotates through the ports of Nansha in China, Tanjung Pelepas in Malaysia, Singapore, Batangas, Manila, and Subic Bay in the Philippines, before sailing back to Nansha.
Aside from the Tokyo Express, Hapag-Lloyd also deployed the vessel Seoul Express to the CPF service.
In February, MICT welcomed eight hybrid Rubber-Tyred Gantry (RTGs) cranes with near-zero emission technology.
That same month, MICT announced that it is progressing with the construction of Berth 8 designed for ultra-large container vessels of up to 18,000 TEUs capacity.
