The Lovett Companies working with the Government of the Philippines, the Province of Batangas, the City of Batangas, the Department of Environmental Natural Resources, First Gas and the Philippine Port Authority, to take the existing Port of Batangas and transform it into the FIRST GREEN ENERGY fully automated Factory City of the future.
The Lovett Companies has signed contract to purchase over 100 Hectares of lands surrounding the existing Port and has agreed to enter into a 25 year ground lease for the complete Phase 2 area (32 Hectares) of the existing Batangas Port, and will work with the existing Port operator on the remaining unused areas of Phase 1 (23 Hectares) for an automated container storage area.
For a Total project consisting of over 150 Hectares. (370 Acres)
The Lovett Companies has arranged over $2.5 Billion USD for the proposed project, and will assume 100% of the cost.
The City of Industry will create over 40,000 jobs, and long term revenue and job creation to the region.
The First Central Core Factory Campus ever built
They live there. They eat there. Their children attend school there. But most of all, they work there. Batangas Port is about to take the manufacturing world by storm with the introduction of the first even master planned Campus of factories built directly on a modern port.
The Lovett Companies has invested Millions into design and research to bring the concept of building multiple factories together around a central core of high-rise offices, malls, hotels, universities, medical centers and housing. Allowing the workforce the ability to Live, Work and Play together, and within walking distance of home, office and shopping.
The Core allows the factory Corporations the ability to consolidate operations. Most Companies, have a factory in one location, the corporate office in another location, and the call center and customer support in a third location. The Central Core factory Campus allows companies to consolidate 3 operations into one locations, thus remove two levels of management and operations, and allowing the companies and the employees the ability to grow from within, resulting in a happy and growing workforce, better products, better customer support and overall satisfied product buyers.
The First Green Zero Emission Factory Campus ever built
No where in the world has anyone attempted to build a modern Green Energy, Zero Emission factory campus.
It is the ocean cargo terminal of the future - powered by the sun and wind with back-up power provided by clean First Gas LPG. The futuristic terminal releases no harmful emissions into the atmosphere.
The Factory Campus reflects the link between water and land and is the vision of Designer / Builder Brent Lovett.
The Factory Campus includes a terminal and automated container handling system which will handle receiving and delivery, cargo handling, storage, loading and discharging in a sustainable environment.
The Factory Campus embraces Brent Lovett’s innovative vision of a more environmentally sound future for land and sea logistics operations. The energy used to handle each unit of cargo within the complex will be reduced by as much as 80 percent.
We want to extend our zero emissions ambition from factory activities to port and land-based activities. “Now, our environmental goals will better cover our factory-to-dealer product scope, benefitting our customers who are starting to measure and reduce the carbon footprint in their entire supply chains.”
Wind turbines will provide the prime source of power for The City of Industry – Factory Campus along with 14 hectors of solar photovoltaic roof panels. The campus will also be self sufficient for all its water needs – rain water collected from its roofs will be stored in underground tanks and then reclaimed.
The City of Industry – Factory Campus will be run on lean production techniques focusing on the elimination of waste and adding value during each stage of production and the cargo’s movement through the Campus.
Energy usage will be further minimized by using wind for cooling and sunlight for light and smart lighting sensors will ensure the maximum efficient use of electricity.
The First Factory Campus, ever Built on an International Dock / Port
95% of all factories in the world are built far from the location of the common goods used in the factory and built far from the customers who will use the end product. Thus cost is expended to ship raw materials to the factory, and cost again expended to ship the finish goods to the port for export.
The Factory Campus will be the first ever Factory Campus actually built on the shipping docks, plus master planned so that all employees live within the same area, with full access to mass transit, shopping malls, restaurants, universities and medical.
Zero shipping cost from Container ship to Factory and from Factory to Container Ship.
The Port of Batangas, City of Industry, factory Campus, will be the first in the world to be fully automated.
When each container ship arrives in the port, the computers take over, through the use of RFID, the computer knows where each and every container will go, thus the computer will pick up the container, place it on an automated rail system which will place the container at the correct loading dock at each factory, then pick up the finished loaded container at the end of the factory, filled with new packaged finished goods, and place the container back on the ship bound for the world.
IT ALL STARTS AT THE CORE

AUTOMATED CONTAINER SYSTEM
One direction for improving the overall productivity of a container terminal and to reduce the berthing times of vessels is to enhance the degree of automation of the handling and transportation equipment.
Hence, manually operated cranes have been replaced by automated ones and AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) are used instead of manually driven carts.
For intra-terminal operation, dual-load AGVs represent a recent development in transportation technology. Such vehicles offer the advantage of being able to transport two 20 ft containers or one 40 ft container at a time.
Another recent development is represented by so-called automated lifting vehicles (ALVs) which, in contrast to AGVs, are capable of lifting a container from the ground by itself.
Since a container terminal represents a complex system with various interrelated components, computerized logistics control systems have recently gained considerably higher attention. The use of automated equipment in turn requires much more sophisticated control strategies in order to exploit the capabilities of advanced automated equipment.
The Lovett Companies has developed a new twist on the AGV, by combining them with a dual monorail transport system, allowing the containers to be placed in its final location far from the actual port.
Employee Housing Campus
The Lovett Companies will also build 2 employee housing campuses, to house over 20,000 employees, and each housing campus will include a monorail station to take residence to and from the central core.
Each Employee Housing Campus includes:
Each Tower houses 150 (2) bedroom units x 30 Towers = 4500 units x 2 + = 9,000 People
Commercial Core at each base, with markets, shops, schools and offices
Parking Garages for Green Autos
Power / Water and waste systems
Wetlands Nature Educational Experience
Man and nature, side by side. That is the best words to describe the Wetlands Nature Educational Experience. A 17 Hectare walking park for the protection of nature and the education of the public on the environment. (“Educate to Appreciate”) A joint effort between First Gas, the Department of Environmental and Natural Resources and the Lovett Companies.
This Park will be much more than just an efficient water filter.
This site will become the real thing, a functioning wetland, a site with available water and emergent vegetation attractive to varied wildlife.
Wetlands Nature Educational Experience will offered various recreational and educational activities and will attract numerous people for different reasons and by combining this with the City Core, to allow the joint use of parking, shopping, transportation and other common uses.
The most visited spots will be the Look-out Tower, Nature Interpretive Centre, Wildlife Preserve and Mangrove Learning Centre with its trails and glass underwater areas to view the impact of the mangrove trees with the environment.
The Nature Interpretive Centre will also be filled with interactive exhibits to enhance visitors’ learning and experience.
Wetlands Nature Educational Experience will also have recreational and educational activities by adopting a holistic approach towards creating a premier eco-tourism park and working together with the onsite University Botanical School on the design, care and maintenance of the park.
The “Center of the Center Oceanarium” Educational Aquatic Center
In 2004, prominent biologists Kent Carpenter of the IUCN (World Conservation Union) and Victor Springer of the Smithsonian Institute presented the results of their study on the world’s highest concentration of marine species. The study, which highlights both diversity and endemism, indicates that the Philippines is home to an astonishingly high marine life, particularly along the Verde Island Passage - an important domestic sea route that encompasses the provinces of Batangas, Marinduque, Mindoro Occidental, Mindoro Oriental, and Romblon. This area is known as the “Center of the Center” of the global marine fish shore biodiversity.
Although it is rich in marine life, the people and natural resources in the Verde Island Passage are facing numerous challenges in terms of habitat destruction, law enforcement, and population pressure, among others.
First Gen Corporation, First Philippine Conservation, Inc. and Conservation International Philippines have earlier formed a tri-partite partnership to implement the Verde Island Passage Integrated Conservation and Development Program.
The Lovett Companies wants to work together to take this to a whole new level. The Center of the Center Oceanarium, for the education, training and viewing of the wonders which are just steps from our shores. Working together with the onsite University Oceananic School on the design, care, operation and maintenance of the Center.
“By bringing together these amazing projects, and by Master Planning them to all work together like a fine tuned 100 piece orchestra, we can really create a City of the Future. A city powered by Green Energy, without any negative impact on the earth, plus giving back so all can enjoy its wonders….”
