The Manila South Harbour (MSH), the Philippines' premier international trade gateway, received a major operational boost as DP World and its strategic partner, Asian Terminals Inc., have announced the completion of milestone projects, poised to promote long-term economic growth and trade for the Philippines and Southeast Asia growth corridor.
