Work starts on NYK's auto logistics hub in the Philippines THE ground breaking ceremony on NYK's pre-delivery inspection and storage facility located in the Philippines was held recently. The facility, to be built on land owned by International Container Terminal Services Inc (ICTSI), will serve as a storage centre for completely built-up units (CBUs) located in Barangay Niugan, Cabuyao Laguna. Officers from ICTSI, NYK Auto Logistics Philippines (NALP) and other project partners attended the ceremony. A company statement said the CBUs will be discharged from Bauan International Port Inc (BIPI), a subsidiary of ICTSI that operates the Bauan terminal in Batangas. The initial phase of the project will feature a 5,000-square metre warehouse and storage space for 2,800 CBUs. Apart from the project development, ICTSI and NYK will also undertake corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives for the benefit of the host communities. ICTSI has already donated a 4,500-square metre parcel of land to the City of Cabuyao, which will be developed into access roads leading to other parts of Barangay Niugan. NYK is conducting several development projects as well to help the residents of St Francis homes and improve the condition of the facility's surrounding areas.
