Key testing and installation milestones have been completed over the past month as part of the three-year structural upgrade program for NorthPort, the domestic terminal at Manila North Harbor.
Works on the initial 40-meter segment at Pier 16, within the 100-meter work area, have been ongoing since April 2026, parent firm International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI) said in a statement.
A Pile Dynamic Analysis testing conducted on the test piles achieved the required design load, confirming compliance with applicable engineering and safety standards, ICTSI said.
At Terminal 1, works continue to include underdeck repairs, wharf structure rehabilitation, and asset tagging to support long-term asset management. These activities are being implemented concurrently with testing and piling operations, allowing construction momentum to be maintained while upholding safety and quality standards.
Pier 16 is located at Terminal 1, which is situated at the north end of NorthPort and includes berth space for ship to shore crane operation, container yard and the Operations Center 1 building.
The target completion for the current scope of works remains end-June 2026, while the overall project remains on track for completion by the end of 2027, in line with the approved three-year program.
Last March, ICTSI said the structural strengthening of Pier 14 had also made progress as part of the program.
ICTSI said overall, Terminal 1 structural upgrade works remain aligned with the approved schedule, “without compromise to strengthening terminal infrastructure and ensuring continued readiness to support the country’s growing trade and operational demands.”
NorthPort is managed by ICTSI subsidiary Manila North Harbour Port, Inc.
