Under the memorandum of understanding, CJ GLS shall tap ATI's Manila South Habour and the Port of Batangas as preferred gateway ports for the import and export requirements of its logistics clients who in the process are taking full advantage of ATI's integrated and competitive cargo handling services for containers, general cargo and ro-ro shipment via its facilities.
