ICTSI's Manila achieves record berth productivity in August and September
INTERNATIONAL Container Terminal Services Inc (ICTSI) has announced that berth productivity rose by a record 22 per cent and 13 per cent in August and September, respectively at Manila terminal.
"Management acknowledges the excellent work our prime mover, quay crane, rubber tyre gantry, and stacker operators have put in to reach high berth productivity. As early as 2000, we have been rewarding our operators and, as a result, ICTSI enjoys a very low turnover rate," said Manila operations director Jay Valdez.
"ICTSI remains committed to the safety and welfare of our equipment operators. They put themselves at risk operating these massive machines, and it is but proper that we look after their safety and welfare," said ICTSI vice president Christian Gonzalez.
ICTSI subsidiaries regularly send manpower to other terminals within the group for training, secondment and other assignment overseas. This practice allows the group to share best practices and improve the technical skills of employees.
"We start by bringing people in from our headquarters in Manila to jumpstart operations and train the locals who will eventually take over once everything is in place. But at the end, our goal is for each of our terminals to be run by 100 per cent local manpower," explained Mr Gonzalez.
"Aside from the technical expertise that we pass on to our subsidiaries, we also teach them hard work and perseverance including leadership and self-improvement skills such as personal financial management. We want our employees to be empowered. Having the right work attitude, combined with the technical know-how, sets our employees apart from the rest of the industry," he said.
