Our History
Our Story: A Legacy of Maritime Excellence
Enhancing Port Capacity Through Expertise
On August 9, 2024, Terra signed a contract with International Container Terminal Services Inc. (ICTSI) to undertake maintenance dredging at the Visayas Container Terminal (VCT) in Iloilo City. The dredging works significantly increased the port’s capacity, enabling VCT to accommodate cement vessels and larger ships.
This achievement underscores our role as a trusted partner for port development, driving progress for clients across the maritime sector.
