BAUAN – SAN PASCUAL, BATANGAS — A wave of major development is transforming Batangas into the next industrial and logistics hub of the Philippines. At the heart of this transformation is the upcoming Luzon International Container Terminal (LICT) in Bauan, a landmark ₱45-billion project that aims to become the second-largest container port in the country.
This modern terminal, backed by International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI) and supported by the Department of Transportation (DOTr), is expected to begin construction in early 2025 and start operations by 2028. Once operational, it will significantly reduce congestion at the Manila International Container Terminal (MICT) and open the doors for large-scale trade, logistics, and industrial growth in Southern Luzon.
Massive Growth Means More Jobs, Business, and Progress
As Batangas embraces this major infrastructure boost, new opportunities will emerge — not just in logistics but across multiple industries. The LICT will serve as a gateway for import and export in CALABARZON, which is already the country’s leading manufacturing and industrial region.
Key highlights of the Bauan Container Terminal project include:
-Project Cost: USD $800 million (approx. ₱45 billion)
-Size: Over 56 hectares including offshore areas
-Berth Capacity: Over 2 million TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units) per year
-Quay Length: 900 meters
-Water Depth: 18 meters, able to handle large global vessels
-Accessibility: Direct access to STAR Tollway via a dedicated road
-Timeline: Full operation by 2028 (first berth completed by end of 2027)
DOTr officials say this will become a “Southern Luzon Gateway,” promoting long-term growth in logistics, warehousing, shipping, manufacturing, and other support services — leading to thousands of new job openings and small business opportunities.
