The mobile app makes it easier and more convenient for port users to monitor and manage their shipments at ICTSI’s Philippine ports – Manila International Container Terminal, North Port (Manila North Harbor domestic terminal), Subic Bay International Terminal Corp. and Mindanao Container Terminal – by facilitating access to real-time shipping information directly from the concerned terminal.
The mobile app’s coverage will soon expand to other ICTSI terminals in the Asia Pacific, Americas, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
With the app, customers can place vessels, containers and trucks on a watchlist and subscribe to status notifications via email or SMS for timely updates. ICTSI said this eliminates conflicting and late information that could lead to less optimal logistics planning and increased cost.

“By providing 24/7 real-time visibility, we are empowering port users to plan their logistics better and make sounder business decisions leading to lower costs. We are opening the door for businesses to become more efficient the same way that we are constantly improving our efficiency to better serve our customers,” said Brian Hibbert, ICTSI Group chief information officer.
ICTSI earlier said its newest innovation is a result of a multi-year investment in an advanced underlying global digital platform that consolidates data and services across the ICTSI Group. It also enables the company to deliver an advanced omni-channel experience to port users.
