SUBIC Bay International Terminal Corporation (SBITC) has opened a dock container freight station (CFS) at the New Container Terminal 2 (NCT 2) at the Subic Bay Freeport in Zambales, the Philippines. It is the first facility of its kind to serve the Central Luzon market.
The CFS has an initial storage capacity of 840 square metres, which can be expanded to a maximum of 1,860 square metres. The facility, which houses an import and export, dangerous goods and customs area, is capable of stuffing and stripping eight containers simultaneously.
SBITC also commissioned a pair of new Jung Heinrich DFG 435 forklifts, which will be used for CFS operations, a company statement said.
SBITC general manager, Roberto Locsin, led the ribbon-cutting ceremony and welcomed partners from Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority, Bureau of Customs, and ECU Worldwide.
"For the past two years, we have been working to improve our services here in Subic to attract more clients. We have the strategic location, manpower and infrastructure to sustain the market in Manila and the growing trade Central Luzon," said Mr Locsin.
