Subject of the Disclosure
ICTSI Papua New Guinea subsidiary starts operation
Background/Description of the Disclosure
South Pacific International Container Terminal Limited (SPICTL), a subsidiary of global operator International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI), will commence operations at the Lae Tidal Basin (LTB) in Lae, Papua New Guinea on February 1, 2018.
SPICTL recently received the go ahead to begin operations from the PNG Government. SPICTL will begin the transition by immediately rolling out the terminal’s new operating system, Navis N4. The system, a first of its kind in PNG and the global standard for container terminal planning and operations management, is expected to quickly streamline the flow of information at Lae’s international container terminal and significantly increase seaside and landside productivity levels.
Other Relevant Information
Last year, ICTSI signed a 25-year terminal operations agreement with state-owned PNG Ports Corp. Limited (PNGPCL), for the Port of Lae – the largest container handling facility in PNG. ICTSI is set to expand the port’s facilities and improve its capabilities as part of the efforts to position Lae as a gateway to the South Pacific region. The project is closely aligned with PNG’s projected economic and trade growth.
