Davao Integrated Ports and Stevedoring Services (DIPSSCOR), a subsidiary of port operator International Container Terminal Services (ICTSI), recently took over operations of a new reefer facility at the Sasa Wharf, International Port of Davao in Mindanao in southern Philippines.
The reefer facility, installed by the Davao port management office of the Philippine Ports Authority (PPA), is seen to boost handling of the growing fruit trade in the Port of Davao, the main transit point for the importation of Philippine bananas. The Philippines is the world's third largest exporter of bananas, most of which are produced and harvested on the island of Mindanao.
The reefer facility covers an area of 27,000 square-metres, and can handle a total of 144 reefer containers. It is located at the northern portion of Sasa Wharf.
DIPSSCOR is a cargo handler operating at the Sasa Wharf, and is the second largest operation of ICTSI in the Philippines after its flagship Manila International Container Terminal.
Based in Manila, Philippines, ICTSI is a leading port management company involved in the operations and development of 21 marine terminals and port projects in 15 countries worldwide.
