ICTSI-operated MICT welcomes Hapag-Lloyd’s inaugural CPF service call

International Container Terminal Services, Inc.’s (ICTSI’s) flagship terminal, the Manila International Container Terminal (MICT), marked a milestone with the arrival of Hapag-Lloyd’s newly launched China-Philippines Feeder (CPF) service at the Port of Manila.

The German carrier’s first-ever call to the Philippines was highlighted by the arrival of Tokyo Express on 17 March.

The CPF service establishes a direct shipping route connecting Nansha, Tanjung Pelepas, Singapore, and key Philippine ports. It enhances trade connectivity for Philippine importers and exporters by providing a link to major transshipment hubs, facilitating better market access across the region.

The CPF service follows a rotation through Nansha (China), Tanjung Pelepas (Malaysia), Singapore, Batangas, Manila, and Subic Bay (Philippines) before returning to Nansha.

In addition to the Tokyo Express, HL has also deployed the container vessel Seoul Express to operate on the CPF route.
