MINDANAO CONTAINER TERMINAL WELCOMES NEW CHINA-PHILIPPINES SERVICE
August 5, 2024

Mindanao Container Terminal (MCT), the International Container Terminal Services, Inc. operation in Tagoloan, Misamis Oriental, Philippines, recently hosted the inaugural call of SITC's new China-Philippines Express 7 (CXP7) service.

 

The new service caters to the increasing export volume of fresh produce from Bukidnon, such as pineapple and banana.

 

It provides exporters from Mindanao with a reliable and efficient transport solution for enhanced connectivity to markets in China.

 

"SITC's new service is designed to meet the growing demand for increased calls at MCT that will cater to the needs of pineapple and banana shippers for timely exports to China," said Aurelio Garcia, MCT chief executive officer.

 

The CPX7 service's rotation covers the ports of Shanghai, Wenzhou, Manila (South), Cebu and Cagayan de Oro (MCT).

 

It calls MCT every Monday. ICTSI said the service's maiden call in Cagayan was marked by the arrival of the 1,800-TEU capacity vessel SITC Haode.

 

"The new service underscores MCT's critical role as a trade facilitator in Southern Philippines, reflecting its commitment to enhancing offerings and supporting the growth of the Mindanao's agricultural export sector," the Manila-headquartered global port operator said.
