The Sinisian Lemery Batangas Port & Industrial Park (SLBPIP), a P5-billion port and industrial complex, became fully operational on August 1.
Sitting on a seven-hectare property in Lemery, Batangas, the complex has three components: a port, a cement silo, and an oil terminal.
The port has a 17-meter-wide berth and can accommodate international and domestic vessels with a maximum size of 50,000 deadweight tons, SLBPIP said.
Port services include cargo handling, pilotage and tugboat assistance, chandling, bunkering, water tendering, ship agency, cargo surveying, trucking, and warehousing and inventory management.
The property features a two-hectare warehouse.
“As a hub for import, export, and transshipment, SLBPIP also features bulk storage facilities for cement, oil, chemicals, and other petroleum products, as well as warehouses for storing bulk cargo,” the company said.
Key locators are Lemery Cement Silo Tank Corp and Lemery Oil Terminal. The former operates storage facilities for cement, oil, chemicals, and petroleum products and warehouses for bulk cargo. It is also an importer of cement in bulk and in 40-kilogram bags and jumbo bags.
With a capacity of 2 million tons of cement and slag a year, Lemery Cement supplies Portland cement, blended Portland cement, and granulated ground blast furnace slag.
The oil terminal has a storage capacity exceeding 170 million liters. It is open to all independent oil and fuel importers; oil tank silos for gas and diesel are available for long-term lease. Unioil Petroleum Inc. has already secured a slot as a client and tenant.
“The oil facility will be essential to increase the fuel inventory/security, support the increase in demand, and improve logistics, particularly for NCR, Calabarzon and Southern Luzon,” SLBPIP CEO Ferdinand Co said in a statement. Co is also the CEO of CW Home Depot.
The development of the complex started after the pandemic but fast-tracked last year. The hub “offers convenient access for trade and logistics,” he added.
With their family business primarily focused on cement and construction supply trading, Co previously said they expanded into industrial storage facilities to help mitigate the impact of global supply chain disruptions experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic that have affected domestic industries, as well as supply chain disruptions that still continue to plague economies globally due to conflicts and geopolitical tensions.
