THE P5-billion Sinisian Lemery Batangas Port & Industrial Park (SLBPIP) has been completed and will start commercial operations this Friday, the park’s CEO said.
“We are now fully operating and actively serving our locators,” SLBPIP’s Ferdinand Co said in a statement.
The facility’s three components are a port, a cement silo, and a fuel depot.
“Development of the park began after the pandemic and was fast-tracked last year. Strategically located in Sinisian, Lemery, the hub offers convenient access for trade and logistics,” Mr. Co said.
“The port can accommodate both international and domestic vessels with a maximum size of 50,000 deadweight tons,” SLBPIP said.
“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,” it added.
Meanwhile, a group company, Lemery Cement Silo Tank Corp., operates storage facilities for cement, oil, chemicals, and petroleum products and warehouses for bulk cargo.
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.
“We specialize in delivering high-quality cement and slag, ensuring durability and strength for all your construction needs,” Mr. Co said.
Another group company, Lemery Oil Terminal Corp., operates the fuel depot, which will serve independent oil and fuel importers. — Justine Irish D. Tabile
