Company Profile
The Philippine economy is centered on maritime trade and commerce. Almost 98% of raw materials and products imported
and exported by the country are facilitated through maritime exchanges. But for our country to integrate itself into the global
trading system, an efficient maritime transport, composed of ports and shipping is necessary.
Then, the country's inefficient maritime transport has intensified transaction costs and eroded the competitiveness of
exports. But all that will finally came to an end.
Harbour Centre Port Terminal, Inc. (HCPTI) is a complete realization of a private company's response to the call of the
Philippine government for a vigorous private sector's participation in the erstwhile public sector's domain over investment
and operation in various major service enterprises affecting the people and the economy as a whole.
The port sector is a principal area of focus in an economy widely characterized by maritime trade and commerce being an
archipelago.
The people behind HCPTI could not have chosen an investment decision with a more timely impact than that centered on
modern port facilities, descending amid perennial clamor as a modest relief for sustained effort to instill service efficiency
through adequate infrastructure and updated cargo handling techniques.
HCPTI is all about service meant to uplift port handling standard and help minimize cost at the consumers end.
HCPTI is engaged in the provision of advanced port facility and equipment, managed by seasoned professionals with proven
expertise in port management and operation to ensure optimum utilization of resources and deliver the desired efficiency
well-deserved by its clientele.
HCPTI operates the 10-hectare multi-purpose port terminal inside the port-city complex called the Manila Harbour Centre
strategically located within the heart of Manila's Port District. It intends to expand nationwide when its participation is apt
and needed.
