launches
Mindanao’s
largest
container
terminal
International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI)
recently launched the re-development of Hijo International
Port (HIP) in the Davao Gulf into the largest container
terminal in Mindanao in southern Philippines.
4
ICTSI and partner, Hijo Resources Corp. (HRC), launched HIP’s
development plans during the Davao City Chamber of Commerce
and Industry’s Second Davao Investment Conference and Exhibit last
November at the SMX Convention Center in Lanang, Davao City.
“I proudly announce that you will see more of the color orange in
the heart of Davao Gulf, as ICTSI and Hijo Resources come together
to offer Hijo International Port, a massive commitment to the
continued development of a peaceful and progressive Mindanao,” said
Rosanna Tuason-Fores, President and Chief Executive Officer of Hijo
Estate Resorts.
“With ICTSI, we are confident that the Mindanao businessman
can now more efficiently tap a global market. We are confident
that the small farmer will be able to get higher margins for his fresh
produce. We will bring costs lower for corporate buyers as we
bring the benefits of modern logistics to the local farmers and global
consumers,” she added.
In mid-November, ICTSI acquired the 65 percent controlling stake
in Hijo International Port Services, Inc. (HIPS), owner and developer
of the HIP, a private commercial port located within the Hijo Estates,
a special economic zone owned by HRC in Tagum City, Davao del
Norte. HIPS is a joint venture company of ICTSI and HRC.
“ICTSI is raising the bar in port operations in the Davao Gulf with
HIPS. We are ready to transform the HIP into southern Philippines’
premier international trade gateway,” said Jose Manuel de Jesus, ICTSI
Vice President for Business Development–Asia.
“This comes at an opportune time when Mindanao’s international
trade is growing at an unprecedented pace, and the need to transport
the region’s imports and exports quickly and safely is of prime
necessity,” he added.
At full development, the port will have an area of over 50 hectares
and an annual capacity of about two million TEUs. Its 12-meter draft
berth will be among the longest in the Philippines at 1,200 meters,
T h e O f f i c i a l P u b l i c a t i o n o f I n t e r n a t i o n a l C o n t a i n e r Te r m i n a l S e r v i c e s , I n c .
capable of servicing five to seven
vessels at one time.
Development plans include
terminal automation and the
rollout of leading edge port
technology used in major
global trade gateways. On full
development, the HIP will be
equipped with 12 Panamax
quay cranes and 36 rubber tired
gantries–the largest container
handling equipment fleet in
Mindanao.
Ms. Tuason-Fores speaks
Currently, the HIP is
before the conference
a reclaimed, brownfield
development of over 10 hectares. delegates in Davao City.
It has two berths, 127 meters long
and 150 meters long; two cargo sheds located in the wharf area; and
various terminal support facilities. It handles approximately 300,000
metric tons of mostly banana volumes annually.
Mindanao is the Philippines’ “fruit basket” where the country’s
major fruit exports are produced. The export of bananas makes the
country the world’s third largest banana exporter, and the largest in
Asia. The HIP will address the growing fruit trade in the Davao region
and the high demand to transport delicate fruit produce through
refrigerated containers.
The HIP will also serve the estate’s agro-industrial locators, such
as enterprises involving food manufacturing and processing, and its
support industries like warehousing and packaging.
The port’s strengths lies in its proximity to major Asian markets;
proximity to large fruit plantations; land accessibility via arterial routes
such as the Davao–Butuan Highway, Tagum–Mati Highway, Tagum–
Maco Highway and Bukidnon–Talaingod Road.
As with all of ICTSI’s ports, the HIP will be operated at
internationally accepted standards
for port operation. With backing
from ICTSI, HIPS has easy access
to professional port management
and expertise, development
resources and funding, and
training and advancement for the
workforce.
Including the HIP, ICTSI is
now involved in 28 ports in 19
countries. The HIP is ICTSI’s
seventh terminal in the Philippines.

Philippines. It is also the province’s
capital. Cited as one of the 20
most viable and most competitive
business sites in the Philippines
in 2005 by the Philippine Cities
Competitiveness Ranking Project,
Tagum City is one of the fastestgrowing cities in Mindanao and in the Philippines. In 2006, it
became known as the Palm Tree City of the Philippines. It holds

SCIPSI receives
liP Bronze
accreditation
A Message
from the
Chairman
I congratulate all of you, the hardworking men and
women of the ICTSI Group, for a job well done all year
long. Thank you for keeping our Company on top and
on course.
We achieved much this year. We signed a subconcession agreement with Lekki Port LFTZ for the
development and operation of the container terminal at
Tolaram Port@Lekki in Nigeria. In the last quarter, we
acquired 65 percent of the outstanding capital stock of
Hijo International Port Services, Inc., owner of the Hijo
International Port, a private commercial port in Tagum
City, Davao del Norte in the Gulf of Davao, Philippines.
We also completed the acquisition of 41.627 percent of the total issued capital of Pakistan International Container Terminal
Ltd. Last but not the least, our volumes and earnings group-wide continued to rise.
We continued to be cited for our good work. We were hailed as Best Investor Relations Company in the Philippines by
CorporateGovernanceAsia. The latter also cited our Company’s continuing commitment to the development of corporate
governance in the region. Earlier on, our US$350 million perpetual corporate hybrid bond transaction won as the
Philippine Capital Markets Deal of the Year from IFR Asia in 2011 and Best Deal of the Year from The Asset.
I expect another good year ahead, especially as we look forward to celebrating our 25th year. It has been a challenging
yet rewarding 25 years. I expect the same for the next year, and further down the road. I shall continue to challenge
myself and you to step up to the plate, further raise the ramp for an even more exceptional year ahead.
I also extend my profound gratitude to clients and stockholders who travel the road with us. I am confident that we
shall continue to gain benefits from our business partnerships.
May you and your loved ones receive abundance, grace and glee this holiday season and the year to come.
