Asian Terminals Inc. said Tuesday its international gateway ports will remain operational during the enhanced community quarantine period to be imposed by government in the National Capital Region and adjacent provinces beginning Aug. 6.
ATI said it would sustain normal operations at Manila South Harbor and Batangas Container Terminal, following stringent industrial health and safety protocols prescribed by local and international COVID-19 experts, to keep the supply-chain moving.
“As a trade enabler, our ports will remain business as usual during this heightened quarantine classification in the NCR Plus to ensure the unhampered flow of food, medical supplies, consumer goods and other vital necessities in support of the economy,” William Khoury, executive vice president of ATI, said.
He said that port transactions such as settling port fees, container bookings and other inquiries are done online through ATI’s e-Portal facilities for faster and safer contactless interactions.
