Batangas container port is grossly underutilized

The Batangas Container Terminal (BCT) is considered the most modern container terminal south of Luzon. The 12-hectare facility is equipped with cargo handling cranes and equipment, and can handle 300,000 TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units) annually.

The terminal has been operational for over two years now. But despite its modernity and capacity to serve major manufacturing hubs in the Calabarzon, it remains grossly underutilized.
