Subic Bay International Container Terminal Corp. (SBITC) recently received and commissioned three new reach stackers and 16 new Kalmar Ottawa terminal tractors, the company said in its press release.
The additional capacity has increased the terminal tractor fleet to 23 units or 128 percent. The reach stacker fleet, meanwhile, increased by 100 percent.
Each terminal tractor is equipped with a vehicle mounted terminal that communicates directly with the terminal operating system, Navis. This results in a state of the art network of signals that allow all equipment to handle containers with pinpoint accuracy.
In partnership with the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA) and the Philippine Bureau of Customs (BOC) and SBITC, the one stop shop hastens the processing of import transactions. Located inside the New Container Terminal 1 beside the SBITC administration office, the OSS houses the SBMA and BOC Subic agencies under one roof. The setup has allowed the seamless flow of transactions as port users no longer have to go to different areas in Subic to process their documents.
