Manila International Container Terminal

What Manila International Container Terminal does

Manila International Container Terminal (MICT) operates as a container terminal facility in Manila, Philippines, providing port operation and management services. It is the Philippines' largest, busiest, and most advanced container terminal and functions as the flagship operation of International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI), a publicly listed company on the Philippine Stock Exchange. MICT has cumulatively handled 50 million TEUs and serves international shipping lines, trucking companies, importers and exporters, and shipping agents with 24/7 terminal operations subject to Philippine Ports Authority (PPA) oversight.

MICT operates a comprehensive digital ecosystem anchored by the MICT Customer Hub, with specialized modules for cargo tracking (ICTSI Radar, MICT Eyes), transaction management (ACTS), appointment scheduling (TABS), vessel operations (MICT Vessel Schedule, Preadvise), driver services (TME, DOP, Kalakbay Rewards), and customer support (ISSA chatbot, MICT Docs). The platform integrates with identity services via Microsoft Entra ID B2C and uses the N4 terminal operating system. Technology differentiators center on integration/interoperability across cargo visibility, payments, and scheduling workflows, plus safety/compliance features such as SOLAS VGM weight verification.

Revenue is generated through terminal charges calculated per the PPA-approved tariff, payable in advance with 2% per day interest on overdue amounts. Charges exclude value-added tax. MICT has no separately disclosed revenue; financial performance is consolidated within ICTSI's public reporting. The terminal is positioned as a premier non-transshipment gateway with strategic access to Asian export markets and operates the most extensive terminal area, facilities, and equipment fleet in the Philippines.
