International Container Terminal Services Inc. is building a new international container terminal in Bauan, Batangas, Philippines. The new terminal will be the privately-funded marine terminal investment in the country's history and will ultimately be the second-largest container facility after the Manila International Container Terminal in the Port of Manila. The terminal will deliver over two million TEUs of capacity at an estimated total investment of USD 800 million.

Upon completion, the terminal's first two-phases will feature a 900-meter quay and at least 8 ship-to-shore gantry cranes. With design and engineering studies well underway, ICTSI will begin construction of Phase 1 in the first quarter of 2025; with Phase 2 to follow as required by demand. With the first berth scheduled for completion by the end of 2027, the terminal will become a catalyst for economic growth across Southern Luzon, creating jobs and accelerating regional development.

The terminal is also expected to play a role in providing the marine handling needs required by the country's renewable energy transition strategy for Southern Luzon. Strategically located 120 kilometers south of Manila and nine kilometers west of Batangas City, the Bauan facility will become the premier international gateway for shippers based in the CALABARZON region (Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, and Quezon), and the most modern container terminal in the country. Situated within a natural cove, Bauan is a first-class municipality in Batangas province known for its agro-industrial strength.

The facility will likewise allow ICTSI to efficiently balance capacity needs across both the Metro Manila consumption center and CALABARZON through the new Bauan terminal and the Manila International Container Terminal.
