History
The first settlers of Tanala country were the Vazimba, the island's earliest inhabitants. In the 17th century, the Zafirambo clan migrated into the territory from the southeastern coast. These newcomers traced their origins back to a leader called Rambo, whose gender is disputed in the oral histories. Rambo's parents both belonged to noble clans with Arab origins - the Anteony on the paternal side and the Zafiraminia on the maternal side. The Zafirambo relate that Rambo left Mananjary in the late 16th or early 17th century to settle near Ambositra. Rambo's descendants gradually moved south and then crossed the eastern ridge to settle near Manambondro. In the 18th century groups of Betsileo moved into this territory, including a group ofshares of PICT.

PICT, located at Karachi port, has a maximum handling
capacity of 750,000 TEUs. For the fiscal year ended June 2011,
the terminal saw an 11 percent growth in cargo handled to a
total 669,806 TEUs compared with the previous year.

ICTSI has been actively expanding outside of the
Philippines. In January, it said it had started constructing a
$250 million container terminal in Mexico.
