The ICTSI Foundation recently launched the Employee Volunteerism Program for ICTSI employees. The first of its kind in the ICTSI Group, the program provides opportunities for employees to engage in activities that will help marginalized sectors in ICTSI’s host

communities.

COVER STORY

Initially launched at ICTSI’s flagship Manila International Container Terminal (MICT), the program allows employees to share their time, talents, skills and resources and volunteer in any of the Foundation’s projects under its three development pillars: education, community welfare and sports.

The program provides holistic benefits for employees through volunteer service to an individual, group or community while generating social value in the form of increased employee engagement and opportunities for unity and teamwork. It also aims to create positive impact and goodwill in the communities where ICTSI operates and give employees a sense of purpose and fulfilment by providing opportunities of giving back.

The program highlights ICTSI’s culture of caring and serving, and aims to bring out altruism, compassion, solidarity, and concern for others.

A soft launch was done last December 2015 with the Christmas Wish Tree Project as the pilot activity. Close to 200 Christmas wishes from orphans of Manila Boystown were gathered and placed in the Foundation’s Christmas tree board panels.

The Foundation invited ICTSI employees to make a child smile on Christmas by picking a child’s wish in the Christmas tree and making it come true. Employees enthusiastically responded to the call with some picking two, three even up to five Christmas wishes. A number of personnel from shipping lines and brokerage companies also participated.

In February, the Foundation cascaded the program to different ICTSI corporate offices and MICT departments. Officers and staff were briefed and surveyed on the choice of Foundation assistance programs they would like to

COVER STORY

RJC, championing employee volunteers

Rafael Joel D. Consing (RJC), ICTSI Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, was among the first respondents who pulled out wish notes from the Christmas Tree panels displayed last December 2015 at the lobby of the ICTSI Administration Building. These wish notes, gathered by the ICTSI Foundation, were from the indigent and orphaned youth residing at Manila Boystown in Marikina City.

Mr. Consing’s enthusiastic response to the Christmas outreach was an inspiration for the Foundation staff as he not only chose one wish note, but five wish notes.

“RJC’s response to our Christmas Wish Tree Project is significant to us because we have a key executive of the Company supporting our year-end outreach. Later on, RJC even volunteered in one of our gift giving activities,” says Filipina C. Laurena, Foundation Deputy Executive Director.

The Foundation was then developing the Employee

“RJC has been asking us on many occasions on how he could help the Foundation and contribute to its projects. He shared that he would like to help those in need, as

Metro Manila Council backs TABS, lifts truck ban for registered truckers

The Metro Manila Council-Special Traffic Committee recently approved to lift the 24/7 truck ban on all trucks registered in the Terminal Appointment Booking System (TABS).

Through the Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) Resolution No. 02, Series of 2016, trucks participating in TABS are granted truck ban exemptions.

TABS is an online booking system implemented through the collaborative efforts of the Office of the Cabinet Secretary and the Philippine Ports Authority in partnership with the international terminal operators in the Port of Manila, International Container Terminal Services, Inc. for Manila International Container Terminal and Asian Terminals, Inc. for South Harbor Terminal, and TABS developer 1-Stop Connections of Australia.

In consultation with port stakeholders, TABS was developed to ease road congestion by trucks in Metro Manila and by managing truck movement in and out of the port.

“To reduce the number of trucks during traffic peak periods without affecting the total number of imports and exports going in and out of the port, utilize traditional supply chain off-peak hours and reduce truck cycle times and maximize truck utilization,” says the MMDA resolution.

Free slots and rebates will be given to truckers who will be utilizing TABS slots which are not within the daily rush hour, including weekends. However, truckers who arrive late as well as

those who do not show up on their scheduled appointments will be penalized.

To protect the interest of trucking companies and to aid traffic enforcers, real-time SMS service will be incorporated in TABS. Truckers and enforcers may send a truck’s plate number to the TABS hotline, and the system will automatically generate a reply to confirm the truck’s TABS booking. Trucking companies may also use this SMS service to track movement of their containers.

During the morning truck ban hours, TABS users are given a two-hour window before their trucks’ scheduled booking, and two hours after the trucks’ reported time of departure from the Port. TABS users who will be covered by the evening truck ban hours, are given a two-and-a-half-hour window before their trucks’ scheduled booking, and another two-and-a-half hours after the trucks’ reported time of departure from the port.

Former Cabinet Secretary Jose Rene Almendras urged stakeholders in the Port of Manila to be more transparent in their transactions with the terminal operators in line with efforts to ease road congestion in Metro Manila.

“We are trying to create a more transparent system to curb or minimize opportunities for corruption,” says Secretary Almendras.

ICTSI NEWSBREAK

Non-cash, one-time charges pull down ICTSI net income by 68% to US$58.5M

• Recurring net income up 1% to US$174.7 million • Throughput grew 5% to 7.8 million TEUs• Revenues down 1% to US$1.051 billion• EBITDA improved 2% to US$450.0 millionInternational Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI) reported audited consolidated financial results for the year ended 31 December 2015, posting revenue from port operations of US$1.051 billion, one percent lower compared to US$1.061 billion the year earlier; Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) of US$450.0 million, two percent higher than the US$443.0 million generated the previous year; and Net Income attributable to equity holders of US$58.5 million, down 68 percent compared to the US$182.0 million earned in 2014. Diluted earnings per share for the period declined 85 percent to US$0.011, from US$0.075 in 2014. Excluding the effect of one-time adjustments to carrying value of certain subsidiaries and non-recurring charges, recurring net income would have increased one percent to US$174.7 million, from US$172.6 million in 2014.

In 2015, the Company recognized non-recurring charges totaling US$116.2 million composed principally of impairment charges on the concession rights assets of Tecplata S.A. (TECPLATA), the Company’s terminal in Buenos Aires, Argentina, amounting to US$88.0 million due to lower projected cash flows on its updated business plan as a result of the prevailing and challenging economic conditions in Argentina and the goodwill of subsidiaries PT ICTSI Jasa Prima Tbk and PT OJA in Jakarta, Indonesia aggregating US$26.6

million as a result of lower projected cash flows on its updated business plan than originally expected. In addition, the Company recognized non-recurring gains and charges such as the US$0.3 million gain on the sale of the terminal in Naha, Japan, the recognition of US$1.3 million wealth tax charge on its equity in its project in Aguadulce, Colombia, and US$0.6 million super tax charge at the terminal in Karachi, Pakistan. In 2014, the Company also recognized gains on the sale of a non-operating subsidiary in Cebu, Philippines

(US$13.2 million), the termination of management contract in Kattupalli, India (US$1.9 million), the net settlement of the insurance claims in Guayaquil, Ecuador and Gdynia, Poland (US$0.6 million), the gain on the sale of Yantai Rising Dragon International Container Terminal as part of the consolidation of the terminal operations at the Port of Yantai in Yantai, China (US$31.8 million), and the write-down of intangibles at TecPlata (US$38.1 million). Excluding these non-recurring

gains and charges, recurring net income in 2015 would have been one percent higher at US$174.7 million compared to the US$172.6 million earned the previous year.

ICTSI handled consolidated volume of 7,775,993 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) for the year ended 31 December 2015, five percent more than the 7,438,635 TEUs handled in 2014. The increase in volume was mainly due to the continuing volume ramp-up at Contecon Manzanillo S.A. (CMSA) in Manzanillo, Mexico and Operadora Portuaria Centroamericana, S.A. de C.V. (OPC) in Puerto Cortes, Honduras; new shipping line contracts and services at Pakistan International Container Terminal (PICT) in Karachi, Pakistan and at Contecon Guayaquil S.A. (CGSA) in Guayaquil, Ecuador; increased demand for services at Subic Bay International Terminal Corp. (SBITC) in Subic Bay, Philippines; favorable impact of consolidation at Yantai International Container Terminal (YICT) in Yantai China; and the contribution from ICTSI Iraq, the Company’s new terminal in Umm Qasr, Iraq which began commercial operation in November 2014. Excluding the volume from the new terminal in Iraq, organic volume increased three percent.

Gross revenues from port operations was one percent lower in 2015 at US$1.051 billion compared to the reported US$1.061 billion in 2014. The slight decline in revenues was mainly due to unfavorable container volume mix, lower storage revenues and ancillary services, and the negative foreign exchange translation impact of the Brazilian Reais (BRL) at Tecon Suape S.A (TSSA) in Recife, Brazil, the Euro (EUR) at Madagascar International

Container Terminal Services, Ltd. (MICTSL) in Toamasina, Madagascar, the Mexican peso (MXN) at CMSA in Manzanillo, Mexico and the Philippine peso (PHP) at various Philippine terminals. In addition, ICTSI’s revenues was adversely affected by the discontinued vessel calls by two major shipping lines as a result of continuing labor disruption at ICTSI Oregon, Inc. (IOI) in Portland, Oregon, USA and weaker short-sea trade and reduced vessel calls at Baltic Container Terminal (BCT) in Gdynia, Poland. The decrease was partially offset by tariff rate adjustments at certain terminals; new shipping line contracts and services; favorable impact of the consolidation of terminal operations in Yantai, China; continuing ramp-up at OPC in Puerto Cortes, Honduras and CMSA in Manzanillo, Mexico; and the revenue contribution of the Company’s new terminal in Umm Qasr, Iraq. Excluding the revenues from the new terminal in Iraq, organic revenues were three percent lower.

Consolidated cash operating expenses decreased five percent in 2015 to US$432.3 million from US$454.5 million the year earlier. The decrease was mainly due to lower equipment and facilities-related expenses as the company benefited from lower global fuel prices and lower repairs and maintenance expenses; lower variable cost at ICTSI Oregon due to significant volume decline; and the depreciation of the local currency at the various ports of the Company as cash operating expenses of these terminals were translated to a lower US dollar equivalent upon consolidation. The reduction, however, was tapered by the contributions and start-up costs of the new terminal in Iraq and new projects

in the Philippines, Mexico, Australia and Democratic Republic of Congo. Excluding the cost associated with the new terminal and projects, consolidated cash operating expenses would have decreased seven percent in 2015.

Consolidated EBITDA increased two percent to US$450.0 million in 2015 from US$443.0 million the previous year mainly due to the continuing ramp-up and further improvement in operating efficiencies at the terminals in Honduras and Mexico; strong operating results in Asia; and the positive contribution from the new terminal in Iraq. Consolidated EBITDA margin improved to 43 percent in 2015 from 42 percent in 2014.

Consolidated financing charges and other expenses surged 238 percent in 2015 to US$183.5 million from US$54.3 million in 2014. The increase was mainly due to the recognition of a US$1.3 million wealth tax on its equity in its project in Aguadulce, Colombia, US$0.6 million super tax recognized at the terminal in Karachi, Pakistan and impairment charges at its subsidiaries in Buenos Aires, Argentina and Jakarta, Indonesia of US$88.0 million and US$26.6 million, respectively.

Capital expenditure mainly related to construction and procurement of equipment amounted to US$353.5 million for the full year 2015, approximately 67 percent of the original US$530 million capital expenditure budget. The capital expenditure was mainly for the completion of development at the Company’s new container terminals in Mexico, Honduras and Iraq; capacity expansion in its terminal operation in Manila; and to start the development of the new terminals in Democratic Republic of Congo and Australia. In addition, ICTSI invested US$95.1 million in the development of Sociedad Puerto Industrial Aguadulce S.A. (SPIA), its joint venture container terminal development project with PSA International Pte Ltd. (PSA) in Buenaventura, Colombia. The Group’s capital expenditure budget for 2016 is approximately US$420.0 million mainly allocated for the completion of the initial stage of the Company’s new container terminals in Democratic Republic of Congo and Iraq, and the continuing development of the Company’s project in Australia. With regard to ICTSI’s joint venture container terminal development project in Buenaventura, Colombia, the Company allocated approximately US$60.0 million for its share in 2016 to complete the initial phase of the project.

ICTSI Foundation chosen as 2015 AnakTV juror

By Melissa M. Echevarria

AnakTV invited the ICTSI Foundation as one of the jurors for the 2015 second level jury screening for child-sensitive programs.

Similarities in advocacy regarding children’s welfare prompted AnakTV to identify the Foundation as a credible juror. The Foundation’s Francis Bartolome, Program Head, and Melissa Echevarria, Project Assistant, reviewed 12 entries selected by more than 2,500 TV viewers nationwide.

“We are proud to be part of this process considering it is in line with our

vision of a society that supports and maximizes the growth potentials of the youth,” says Mr. Bartolome.

AnakTV jurors recognized 2015’s most child-sensitive programs from 12 different local TV networks, and selected Makabata Stars (artists honored as role models to the youth) from a selection of local TV personalities. The jurors represented parents, teachers, students, NGOs, media, business and religious sectors.

A total of 12 television shows were evaluated to receive the AnakTV seal. Programs that bear the seal are safe for

Gabriel Muñasque, SCIPSI General Manager, received the award and talked about SCIPSI’s Housepoints Rewards Program. Over 400 human resources practitioners attended the IiP event.

SCIPSI underwent assessment from 8 to 11 July last year, and was able to manifest its commitment to 167 good people management practices and IiP criteria, which include organizational alignment, empowerment, learning and development, leadership, and continuous improvement.

AnakTV is an organization that advocates child-sensitive and family-friendly television in the Philippines. Aside from evaluating TV shows and choosing TV personalities, the organization also promotes child welfare by safeguarding them from any form of abuse and shielding their young minds from violence.

Record turnout for Contecon Manzanillo charity run

Hundreds of individuals from different parts of Mexico heeded the call to help raise funds for the benefit of underprivileged children in need of eyeglasses by participating in the Contecon Manzanillo Run for a Cause last 28 February.

Organized by Contecon Manzanillo SA de C.V., the charity race drew more than a thousand participants and broke the attendance record for any similar event held in Manzanillo.

Fortino Landeros, CMSA General Manager, thanked sponsors and participants for supporting the cause and helping the underprivileged children of Manzanillo.

“In Contecon, we are motivated to be agents of change for a more prosperous and equitable community. Through our operations, we are strengthening Manzanillo’s position as the most important port in the country. What actually drives us every day is the opportunity to contribute to the sustainable development of the community, as well as the ability to promote not only the professional and personal growth of our employees, but also the quality of life of those in our host communities.”

Lorena Valero, ICTSI Americas Public Relations Director, said the event was held within the corporate social responsibility framework of International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI). “With this first race, we looked for people, and the public 

and private sectors to unite in a cause that creates a positive impact on society. We want to promote the awareness that if we unite, we can help people who need help the most,” said Ms. Valero.

Ms. Valero looks forward to having the event held annually with the aim of raising funds to support different causes for the benefit of the people of Manzanillo. 

The charity run was organized in partnership with the Sport Institute of Colima, the Athletics Association of the State of Colima and the Municipal Institute of Sport. The event was also backed by private organizations including the Regional Confederation of Mexican Workers, Integrace, Welldex, Electrolit, API Manzanillo, Woodward Group, Hano Paniagua, Association of Customs Agents-Port of Manzanillo, Kiosko, Honda, City Express, Transport Hazesa, Manzanillo Dreams, Vocablo, Dos8, and ISCE.

VICT ready for yearend opening

Victoria International Container Terminal (VICT), International Container Terminal Services, Inc.’s (ICTSI) US$400 million fully automated container terminal at Webb Dock East in the Port of Melbourne, Australia, is on track for its scheduled start of operations by December this year.

“VICT is poised to become Australia’s premiere container terminal. It is the first automated terminal within the ICTSI Group, and will become one of the most advanced in the world in terms of the scale of its automation once it starts to operate. With its industry-leading design and engineering, we expect VICT to set the bar high for the industry by introducing revolutionary levels of operational efficiency,” says Christian R. Gonzalez, ICTSI Senior Vice President and Head of Asia-Pacific Region and MICT. 

Equipment deliveries are on schedule.  VICT received the first batch of four automated stacking cranes (ASC) on the 15 March. They form part of Phase 1 equipment deliveries, which include eight more ASCs, 11 Automatic Container Carriers (ACC), and three Neo-Panamax quay cranes — all set to arrive between March and May.

Meanwhile, Phase 2 equipment

The first four ASCs from Kalmar were unloaded from AAL Hongkong last 14 March.

deliveries, which include two Neo-Panamax quay cranes and eight ASCs, are due to arrive in November and December, respectively.

The ASCs and ACCs are manufactured by Kalmar, while the five remote-controlled Neo-Panamax quay cranes are made by ZPMC with automation delivered by ABB.

VICT will be using the Navis N4 terminal operating system, fully integrated with ABB crane automation, Kalmar ASC / ACC automation system

(TLS), Camco unmanned gate solution and the 1-Stop vehicle booking system (VBS) to provide and ensure streamlined terminal operations to both waterside (vessel) and landside (truck) operations simultaneously and truly 24/7. Phase 1 and 2 development

Operating under a 26-year concession agreement with the Port of Melbourne Corp. (PoMC), VICT occupies a total land area of 35.4 hectares. Phase 1 development, which started in the third quarter of 2014, includes

Strategic location Located outside the narrow and restrictive Yarra River, in

which the two existing container terminals are situated, VICT is the clear choice for future larger vessels (6,000-10,000 TEUs) calling into Melbourne. With a crane outreach of 19 across, VICT is capable of accommodating larger container vessels. With its 450-meter turning basin and 250-meter channel width, VICT has direct access to the main channel serving Port Philip Bay without the 50-meter air draught restriction imposed by the West Gate Bridge.

Ongoing civil works at VICT.

VICT’s strategic location offers a better option for shipping lines in terms of cost and time savings.

VICT switched on the LEP lights for the first time on 23 February. The photo clearly shows the difference between the port’s usual “orange” high-pressure sodium bulbs and VICT’s light-emitting plasmas supplied by BLS.

Innovations for sustainability Aside from being a catalyst for economic growth, VICT

aims to be a good neighbor to its surrounding communities by limiting its operational impact on the local environment. Aside from introducing unparalleled operational efficiencies, the technologies behind the terminal’s fully automated operations are designed to minimize the impact of light and noise on the surrounding community.

VICT has partnered with Bright Light Systems (BLS), a leading manufacturer of light-emitting plasma (LEP) luminaires, to provide high-mast plasma lighting to the terminal premises.

The plants and trees surrounding the noise wall create visually pleasing scenery that effectively blends the industrial façade of the terminal with its surrounding community.

The 350 high-efficiency plasma lights will illuminate an area of more than 350,000 square meters on an as-needs basis.

This state-of-the-art lighting system can be controlled wirelessly and provides clear yet non-obtrusive lighting. Unlike the usual high-pressure sodium lamps used at ports, which emit an unnatural dim and “scattered” orange light, BLS plasma luminaires prevent light spill and night sky glow. VICT expects to reduce energy usage by up to 70 percent using this innovative solution.

Establishing good community relations Within the terminal’s immediate vicinity are a lifesaving

organization’s headquarters, residential housing, a beach and a recreational park and trail. This port-city location led the team at VICT to carefully consider how they could make the terminal sustainable, safe and secure in order to lessen impact of VICT’s operations on the surrounding community.

VICT is bordered by a noise wall, which minimizes the effect of terminal sounds on the neighboring communities. The height of the wall varies in some areas, which disguises the view of the terminal for the neighbors. Landscaping was also implemented in the walls’ surrounding space to enhance the visual aesthetics of the area.

VICT has been proudly supporting various corporate social responsibility initiatives in the immediate port community via an ongoing grants program which supports the positive development of health and education for youth and young people.

a 664-meter berth to be equipped with three Neo-Panamax quay cranes capable of servicing 19 across +8,000-TEU capacity vessels. The terminal will have an initial capacity of ~500,000 TEUs by the end of 2016, and upon completion of Phase 2 development by 2Q 2017, the fully commissioned VICT will have a capacity of 1 million TEUs. VICT is working on future-proofing the terminal to allow two 

+8000 TEU-vessels to berth simultaneously. Eventually, the terminal will be equipped with eight Neo-Panamax quay cranes and feature an annual capacity of more than 1.5 million TEUs.

giving back was ‘good for the soul.’ At that time, no one knew that we were working on this program,” she adds.

“I emailed him our concept and he was ecstatic! He immediately signified interest to participate in almost all of the programs even before the Foundation officially launched it. We are happy to find a champion in RJC, someone from top management who can help us entice and inspire employee volunteers locally, globally,” Ms. Laurena concludes.

Dr. Licup of the ICTSI Foundation interviews Mr. Consing on his thoughts on employee volunteerism. What are your thoughts on the Employee Volunteerism Program?

It’s an absolutely great program. I think it’s an excellent opportunity for us, the entire ICTSI team, to go beyond our objectives in the workplace and to pursue something bigger than ourselves. It’s a chance to be guided in our lives by altruism. Being guided by altruism gives one a deep sense of purpose and fulfilment,

which in turn, leads to greater productivity as an employee. Do you believe that the program could be more beneficial to the employees rather than to the recipients?

I think it can be beneficial in three ways. It obviously benefits the recipients, as that is given, but both the giver, the recipient, and the Company are going to benefit significantly from it. How can you help encourage, if not all, at least most of the employees to really participate in the program?

I think that we have to have a kinder philosophy of success. It’s not all about making money, albeit that is critical in our business. It’s not all about what we achieve here within the confines of our workspace that’s important. There are bigger things in life that will give us greater satisfaction. I strongly encourage the members of the ICTSI family to be led or to be guided by altruism in making their decisions in life. I think that it will

lead to greater happiness for them. I assure the ICTSI Foundation

that you can definitely count on me and my whole team for activities and undertakings by the Foundation. The team is very committed to the program, and that we all share the same philosophy.

I think that we as individuals have to have local commitment and a very global responsibility because this is where we live. We want to take care of ourselves, take care of other people, and at the same time take care of the planet. You’re actually contributing to the betterment of the world. We need to have a kinder philosophy of success and again, global responsibility. We have to, within our control, create a very caring economy. It’s not just about ourselves.

Once the Program is well-established here, we’re bringing the program to the subs. Hopefully, we can also encourage our overseas subs.

I am very excited to help in whatever way I can.
