Service awardees honored as ICTSI celebrates 35th year

International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI) marked its 35th anniversary by paying tribute to long-serving, loyal and dedicated employees. Separate celebrations were held for Global Corporate and Manila International Container Terminal (MICT) service awardees on 13 and 15 June, respectively.

With service tenures ranging from 20 to 35 years, service awardees from different departments have played and continue to play key roles in shaping the company's success.

ICTSI Executive Vice President Christian R. Gonzalez thanked each service awardee during the celebratory events as he recalled the Company’s 35-year journey. “From our very humble beginnings of handling around 170,0000 TEUs at MICT, we have now become the largest independent terminal operator in the world. This would not have been possible without our fantastic people, especially those who have been with us for 35 years.

“What sets us apart is our approach to dealing with failure. It requires a special kind of individual, a special type of culture. And in difficult times, our people and culture have come together, and we’ve had many. I am very proud that we have gone through those difficult times, crises, and tough situations. The Company wouldn't have wanted to do that with anybody else. On behalf of my family, we thank all of you for your sacrifices and contributions,” he added.
