ICTSI takes over Mindanao port operations

Manila: The Phividec Industrial Authority formally turned over the Mindanao Container Terminal (MCT) to a International Container Terminal Services, Inc. subsidiary last week. Mindanao International Container Terminal Services Inc. (MICTSI) was granted the 25-year MCT concession in May, and took over operations in June.
