Manila North Harbour Port, Inc. (MNHPI/NorthPort) announced the commencement of a comprehensive Structural Upgrade Program, reinforcing its commitment to sustainability, disaster resilience, and maintaining continuous, reliable operations as a critical hub for national trade and logistics.
The multi-year initiative, detailed in a public notice issued by NorthPort, is a cornerstone of the company’s long-term strategy. Its primary goal is to enhance the resilience and disaster-readiness of the port facilities to safeguard critical infrastructure and prevent supply chain disruptions that could impact the Philippine economy and commerce.
“As a vital gateway for national trade, our responsibility extends beyond mere efficiency—it includes an unwavering commitment to safety and resilience,” said a NorthPort representative. “This program is a proactive investment in the country’s economic stability, ensuring that NorthPort can withstand future challenges and continue its role as a reliable partner in the supply chain.”

Operational Adjustments During the Upgrade

- Changes to vessel berthing arrangements
- Temporary retirement of some operations in Terminal 2
NorthPort is committed to minimizing the impact of these adjustments on its partners and stakeholders and will be providing continuous updates regarding specific changes.
