Construction begins on new container terminal in Philippines' Bauan Port

SLCT will occupy a naturally protected cove within Batangas Bay. Upon its targeted completion in 2028, the facility will be able to accommodate ultra-large container vessels.

ICTSI said the completed terminal will have an 800‑metre quay, 38 hectares of yard space, an 18‑metre berth depth, and a terminal capacity that will exceed two million TEUs annually.

Phase one of the project will consist of marine works and construction of a 425‑metre quay designed for super post‑Panamax operations. Construction will take place from May to September 2027, with equipment delivery and installation targeted for August 2027.
