THE Batangas Container Terminal (BCT) operated by Asian Terminals Inc. (ATI) has successfully switched to fully automated gates, making it the first port in the country to adopt the system.

William Khoury, DP World Philippines CEO and ATI director said: 'We are very pleased to implement another industry first through BCT as we continuously upgrade our capabilities to provide smarter, faster, and safer ports and logistics services to our customers anchored on game-changing technologies. This early, the AGS has boosted BCT's efficiency, increased gate capacity and improved stakeholder safety, which collectively contributes to a more robust logistics sector, especially at this time of post-pandemic trade recovery.'
