THE Bureau of Customs (BoC) has issued interim operational guidelines for International Container Terminal Services, Inc.’s (ICTSI) dry port facility in Calamba City, Laguna.
In a statement, Christian R. Gonzalez, ICTSI senior vice-president and head of the Asia Pacific region, said the Laguna Gateway Inland Container Terminal (LGICT) is expected to improve the flow of trade in southern Luzon.
“As an extension of the seaport, specifically ICTSI’s flagship Manila International Container Terminal (MICT), the Laguna dry port is at the heart of manufacturing activities. We are bringing the trading gateway at the doorstep of the economic zones… The interim operational guidelines will give us headway in priming the dry port for container volumes in the coming months,” Mr. Gonzalez said.
