Subic Bay Freeport Zone – With the increased storage handling capacity, PCSPC is likewise expanding its petroleum receiving and discharging ability with the construction of a new barge loading facility adjacent to the existing POL pier.  This new jetty is designed to accommodate smaller vessels ranging from 500 DWT to 6,400 DWT.

In addition, PCSPC began the construction of an additional mooring dolphin (“MDE”) on its existing POL Pier for a safe mooring of vessels with longer Length Over-All (LOA) dimensions.  Upon completion, the main POL pier will be able to handle vessels with an LOA of up to 800 feet.

The pier works were started in the first quarter of 2013 and is expected to be completed by year end.

Construction Permits of the new jetty & additional MDE were issued by SBMA on September 24, 2012 & December 10, 2012, respectively. 

SUBIC BAY FREEPORT — PCSPC was recently handed its original Certificate of Ownership of Leasehold Rights after successfully completing the registration process.  This is in line with SBMA’s declared policy that all holders of Lease and Development Agreement and similar contracts with a lease term of six(6) years or more must register with the SBMA Registry Office in order to be issued a certificate.  According to its Regulatory Group, the registration shall provide an accurate, systematic, and comprehensive leasehold rights registration and information which shall:

Enhance the value of lease hold rights over SBMA real estate properties;

Protect the integrity of leasehold rights in conformity with the original terms and conditions of the Lease Agreement or Lease Development Agreement;

Concretize ownership of leasehold rights through the issuance of Certificate of Leasehold rights; and

Regulate conveyances of SBMA real properties by the issuance of certificate of leasehold rights and recordings of all transfer and encumbrances involving said real properties.

SUBIC BAY FREEPORT – On July 2010, Philippine Coastal Storage & Pipeline Corporation (PCSPC) once again took another major step in its ongoing efforts to improve the 257 meter long pier’s overall structure and maintain a 100% operational status by rehabilitating its entire substructure.  During the course of the recently concluded Structural Repair & Upgrade of Berthing & Fendering system, it was discovered that in addition to the previously repaired piles, several or more concrete piles beneath the pier and close to the seabed were found to still have minor to major cracks and are propagating.   Under consultancy of Phillips Consulting, immediate action is needed to prevent its spread through further application of concrete jacketing.  New pre-stressed concrete support piles shall also be driven beneath the north and south side of the pier to further reinforce and accommodate multiple docking of larger vessels or tankers.  

A total of 196 piles are expected to be repaired with the addition of 36 new pre-stressed concrete piles to be driven on both north & south side of the pier.  

A 2^nd new mooring dolphin shall also be added and connected to the recently constructed mooring dolphin to correct angles.  

The entire project shall have a duration of 24 months which will be completed by July 2012.

SUBIC BAY FREEPORT – On January 2009, The Philippine Coastal Storage & Pipeline Corporation (PCSPC) undertook a major undertaking by rehabilitating & reinforcing the existing POL Pier that was formerly operated by the U.S. Navy.

 The project covers reinforcing of concrete pilings as well as the replacement of the existing wooden fenders & bollards with state of the art rubber fenders on both sides of the pier.  This is in line with the objective of accommodating bigger ships and tankers having 50,000 DWT capacities on both sides. 

A new mooring dolphin shall also be constructed at the tip of the pier as an added support structure. 

Other vital components such as catwalks and steel structures which have dilapidated and accumulated rust over the years shall also be replaced or dismantled in accordance to international shipping standards.
