MANILA International Container Terminal (MICT), operated by International Container Terminal Services Inc. (ICTSI), continuously innovates to improve customer experience and boost supply chain efficiency.

MICT has leveraged technology to introduce digital solutions to enhance transparency and convenience for port users. Customer experience in ports involves complex interactions between stakeholders, including customs authorities, shipping lines, freight forwarders, truckers and cargo owners.

It also helps us to improve our productivity by enabling us to allocate our resources more effectively and address operational challenges more proactively,» Lozano said.
