Evergreen Marine is newest shipper to call at ATI’s Batangas terminal
TIN news: A major Taiwan shipping line has added the Batangas Container Terminal (BCT) to its cargo network, the terminal’s operator Asian Terminals, Inc. (ATI) said.
Evergreen Marine Corp. (EMC) has added Batangas as a port of call to its Northeast Asia-Southeast Asia “A” (NSA) freight service.
“NSA covers Batangas-Manila-Kaohsiung (in Taiwan)-Nansha-Hong Kong-Shekou (all three in Southern China)-Osaka-Kobe-Iwakuni-Moji-Hakata (the last three in southern Japan)- Taipei-Taichung-Kaohsiung and docks at BCT on Tuesdays,” the port operator said in a statement on Friday.
The MV Uni-Premier recently made its maiden call at Batangas port to officially commence EMC’s weekly service.
Currently, BCT has four regular weekly services and one fortnightly service connecting Calabarzon shippers directly to Hong Kong, China, Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, Indonesia and other key regional and global markets with the addition of EMC to its port rotation.
BCT facilitated the delivery of over 132,000 TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units) of international cargoes last year, up by 32%, for its highest annual throughput since starting operation in 2010.
ATI earlier said it is spending at least P3.8 billion this year to develop its ports in Manila and Batangas.
The company’s net income dropped P382.1 million in the January to March period, from P650 million during the same period a year ago due to lower storage revenues and a slow international container market in its South Harbor, Port of Manila during the first two months of this year.
