ICTSI Newsbreak

ICTSI invests in DR Congo International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI) recently announced its investment in and the establishment of its first terminal in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

“We have been following the positive economic developments in DRC closely and are proud that we can take part in building the needed infrastructure for the future growth and prosperity of the country,” says Enrique K. Razon Jr., ICTSI Chairman and President.

“We are looking forward to bringing new and improved service to this fast-growing economy. We believe we can make a positive impact and decrease total transportation

time and cost through this modern and efficient facility,” states Jens Floe, ICTSI Senior Vice President responsible for the Africa Region.

ICTSI Congo DR will be located on the riverbank of the Congo River in Matadi, which is already today the main entry point for containers into DRC

serving the greater region and the Kinshasa market. The facility will, in Phase 1, be able to handle 120,000 twenty-foot

equivalent units and 350,000 metric tons. The capacity and berth length can, subject to demand, be doubled in Phase 2.

Phase 1 will consist of two berths with a total length of 350 meters, which will be servicing shipping lines, importers and exporters with its modern infrastructure, state-of-the-art equipment and highly skilled staff, matching international standards.

It is estimated that the total capital expenditure of the project for Phase 1 will be approximately US$100 million.

The facility is expected to commence operation in 2015.ICTSI Congo DR is a joint venture owned 60 percent by ICTSI and 40

percent by Simobile S.P.R.L.

Matadi: The stone city of Congo

Matadi is the main sea port of the Democratic Republic of Congo and the capital of the Bas-Congo province with one of the largest harbors in central Africa and a mile-long waterfront that is cut in granite. It is situated on the left bank of the Congo River opposite the town of Vivi. Founded by British-American explorer Sir Henry Morton Stanley in 1879, the city takes its name from the Kikongo word for stone. Matadi serves as a major import and export point for the whole nation. Chief exports are coffee and timber. (Sources: www.wikipedia.com and global.britannica.com)

ICTSI sells 25% stake in Nigerian terminal to CMATICTSI Capital B.V. (ICBV), a subsidiary of International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI), executed a Share Purchase Agreement (the Agreement) with CMA Terminals (CMAT), a member of the CMA-CGM Group, last 26 January.

Under the Agreement, ICBV sold its 25 percent shareholding in Lekki International Container Terminal Services LFTZ Enterprise (LICTSLE), the Nigerian subsidiary of ICTSI, to CMAT.

The joint venture forged between ICTSI and CMAT in LICTSLE is expected to further improve the viability of the project in the Lagos Free Trade Zone at Ibeju Lekki, Lagos

At the signing of the Agreement (from left): Samantha Roberts, Reed Smith Partner and ICTSI Legal Counsel; Kim Dassesse, CMA-CGM Group Internal Counsel; Jens Floe, ICTSI Senior Vice President for Africa Region; Farid Salem, CMA-CGM Group Chief Executive Officer; Aude Viornery, CMAT Business Development Manager; and Gagan Seksaria, ICTSI Africa Region Chief Financial Officer and Investments Head

State, Federal Republic of Nigeria.The joint venture will also reduce the investment

requirement of ICTSI in LICTSLE to its pro-rata shareholding. In March 2012, ICTSI and Lekki Port LFTZ Enterprise

signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the operation of the Deep Water Port Container Terminal in Lagos, Nigeria. The MoU covers a period of 21 years from development to full operation.

ICTSI officers visit Tacloban Port Enrique K. Razon Jr.,

International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI) Chairman and President; and Christian R. Gonzalez, ICTSI Head of Asian

Region, recently visited the Port of Tacloban in Eastern Visayas,

Philippines. Mr. Razon had sent cargo handling equipment and

personnel to run the port after the province was hit by typhoon Haiyan. ICTSI has been running

the port free for over two months, and will continue to do so until the government’s relief

operations taper off. Photo shows ICTSI personnel posing

Port Strategy cites MICT’s disaster preparedness

Port Strategy recently cited International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI) flagship Manila International Container Terminal (MICT) for its disaster preparedness and formation of an Emergency Response Team in its January issue. Port Strategy wrote: “There is a lot to learn from entities such as Philippine-based international terminal operator ICTSI, which at its Manila and other Philippine terminals, puts in place extensive preparations when a typhoon warning is signaled. Among other arrangements, the MICT maintains a specially trained response group to prepare the terminal to ensure personnel, hardware and facility safety in the face of such a threat.”

ICTSI is one of DSWD’s best corporate donorsBy Joy Lapuz

International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI) was a recipient of the Panata ko sa Bayan Award given by the Philippine Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) on the occasion of the latter’s 63rd anniversary held last 16 January at the DSWD Central Office in Quezon City, Philippines.

ICTSI was one of the organizations awarded under the Salamat Po (Thank You) category which recognized corporate donors, volunteer organizations, and non-government organizations for their contributions to the government agency’s efforts for the victims of typhoon Yolanda.

One significant contribution of ICTSI was its support to DSWD’s request for assistance in transporting goods to Tacloban. ICTSI converted the Manila International Container Terminal’s CFS 1 into DSWD’s hub for the repacking of relief goods, and provided manpower and equipment. ICTSI responded to the government’s request to operate the Tacloban Port, which served as DSWD’s offloading facility for relief goods coming from Manila.

To speed up the dissemination of relief goods, ICTSI sent a team of highly skilled operations personnel, and deployed a cargo handling equipment fleet to Tacloban Port.

The Company also spearheaded the formation of a team comprised of representatives from shipping lines, barge operators and association of construction contractors to accrue other logistics assistance. In lieu of its Christmas party, ICTSI held a Christmas party for 1,500 families in Tacloban where 3,000 teddy bears, Christmas packages and meals were distributed.

Through all these efforts, ICTSI was in constant coordination with the government team comprised of DSWD, Department of Finance, Department of Transportation and Communications and the Philippine Ports Authority.

In a letter addressed to Enrique K. Razon Jr., ICTSI Chairman and President, Corazon Juliano-Soliman, DSWD Secretary, wrote that ICTSI has been a strong and reliable partner of the DSWD in the implementation of livelihood programs and relief operations.

Your 2014 guide to healthy living (part 2)Reprinted from The Philippine Star / By Dr. Tyrone Reyes

KEEP MOVING. Lack of physical activity is an independent risk factor for nearly all of the diseases that are most likely to kill or disable you. In the long-running Framingham Heart Study, sedentary subjects died a year and a half earlier than those who were moderately active. Those who were very active enjoyed three and a half more years than their sedentary counterparts.

Regular moderate exercise can help to protect you against the following problems: heart disease and stroke, cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis, arthritis, accidents, depression and anxiety, and infections. GET ENOUGH SLEEP. Medical evidence suggests that

for optimum health and function, the average adult should get seven to nine hours of sleep daily. But many people regularly fall short of that goal. And as your sleep debt mounts, the health consequences increase, putting you at growing risk for weight gain, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and memory loss.

In some cases, sleep debt results from insomnia or other underlying conditions that may require medical attention. But most sleep debt comes from burning the candles at both ends — consistently failing to get to bed on time and to stay there until you’ve slept enough. Fortunately, sleep doesn’t charge interest on the unpaid balance, or even demand a one-for-one repayment. It may take some work, but you can repay even a chronic, longstanding sleep debt.

Healthy Lifestyle

USE SUPPLEMENTS SELECTIVELY. It was once believed that it was possible to compensate for dietary deficiencies by simply popping a multivitamin pill every day. But research suggests that multivitamins may not be all they’re cracked up to be.

In 2006, the US Natural Institutes of Health said there wasn’t enough evidence for a recommendation about taking multivitamins. There’s also been little or no evidence of protection against cardiovascular disease or cancers from a number of individual vitamin supplements, including vitamin E, vitamin C, beta carotene, and the B vitamin trio — B6, B12, and folic acid.

Recent research suggests that potential harm has been added to the mix. In 2008, a Cochrane Collaboration review found that low-risk people in trials for a host of diseases who were given supplements of vitamin A, vitamin E, and beta-carotene had a slightly higher death rate. And there’s some evidence that excess folic acid (the synthetic version of folate, a vitamin found abundantly in vegetables, fruits, and grains) may be contributing to an uptick in colon

polyps. Both observations, though, warrant further study.Experts agree that the best way to get the nutrients

we need is through food. It is likely that what counts is the synergistic interaction of these nutrients — which might also help explain why trials of single nutrients don’t pan out.

However, it may be too soon to draw the line on all supplements. Adequate calcium and vitamin D are

essential in preserving bone density. Although you can get the recommended 1,200 mg.

calcium requirement in your diet, studies suggest that most women do not. It is possible to get the recommended vitamin D intakes (400 IU for women ages 51 to 70; 600 IU for women ages 71 and older) through diet or sun exposure. But many health experts now recommend getting 1,000 IU, which is harder to do without taking

supplements. Consult your doctor about the appropriate supplementation for you.

and healthier life. Discover how you can feel better, look better, and live longer in these seven easy
