FROM TRADE GATEWAYS TO COMMUNITY LIFELINES: BATANGAS PORT IS THE WORLD'S FIRST 'READY PORT' FOR DISASTER PREPAREDNESS

DP World announced that Batangas Integrated Port (BIP) is now the world's first READY Port, establishing a new benchmark for disaster preparedness and humanitarian logistics. The designation follows a three-day multi-stakeholder workshop in partnership with the World Food Programme (WFP) Philippines, where government agencies and private-sector partners assessed emergency response capabilities. Insights have been consolidated into a Port Readiness Action Plan to strengthen capacity-building initiatives across ports in the Philippines and worldwide.
