THE Manila Harbor Center (MHC) is expanding its cargo handling capacity with the completion of eco-friendly bulk cargo bays (BCB) and dredging of the berths to accommodate larger vessels.

MHC, the largest bulk and breakbulk handling facility in the Port of Manila in the Philippines, said this new development increases MHC's number of BCBs from two to five, effectively improving the terminal's bulk storage capacity by over 100 percent from 24,000 to 55,000 metric tons.

The completion of three new bulk cargo bays more than doubles Manila Harbor Center’s bulk storage capacity from 24,000 metric tons to 55,000 metric tons and assists in mitigating any environmental impact of the terminal’s operation. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
