The International Container Terminal Services Inc. (ICTSI) said on Monday that it is gearing up for brisker business for its dry port in Laguna after the Bureau of Customs issued interim operational guidelines recently. “These guidelines will give us a headway in priming the dry port for container volumes in the coming months,” ICTSI senior vice president and head of the Asia Pacific region Christian Gonzales said in a statement, referring to the Laguna Gateway Inland Container Terminal (LGICT). Last month, Customs Commissioner Nicanor Faeldon issued Customs Memorandum Order No. LGICT is part of ICTSI’s short-to-medium term plan to expand its flagship Manila International Container Terminal (MICT). It also has an allocated five hectares of yard space as customs area which can accommodate 5000 TEUs at one time.
