The Philippine Ports Authority (PPA) said MICT's milestone, which includes an all-time high of 147,935 TEUs in imports, was driven by recent growth in foreign trade.
The PPA also attributed the accomplishment to ICTSI's continued investments in infrastructure and equipment.
Recent upgrades at MICT include replacing two old quay cranes at Berths 3 and 4 as well as increasing the number of quay cranes at Berth 6 to six from five to six.
The investment in larger and more advanced cranes is seen to enhance the terminal's ability to accommodate larger container vessels and meet the growing market demand.
ICTSI is likewise developing Berth 8, which is projected to boost MICT's annual capacity to 3.5 million TEUs by 2027.

In Request Sa Radyo, both Lea Salonga and Dolly de Leon wander through a tidily kept apartment in New York or New Jersey, cleaning things on the daily. And in Sandbox Collective's Tiny Beautiful Things, Iza Calzado dwells in a less-tidy home that matches her magulo state of mind while crafting responses to strangers who write in to her inherited advice column.
ALL OF BLUE
Color is the primary language of painting, the essential spirit of the medium. Minimalist artists have long considered this gospel truth: strip a painting to its core, and what remains is color. Yet, color is far from a mere visual phenomenon; it is a conduit for emotion and psychology, evoking ideas, memories, and profound feelings. Among the spectrum of hues, blue holds a particularly captivating allure—a color steeped in history, rarity, and meaning.
