The Mindanao Container Terminal (MCT) in Misamis Oriental recently received SITC’s new China-Philippines Express 7 (CXP7) service, supporting Bukidnon’s growing fresh produce exports, such as pineapple and bananas, to China.
This new service highlights MCT’s vital role in facilitating trade in Southern Philippines and its commitment to enhancing services and supporting the growth of Mindanao’s agricultural export sector.
MCT is part of tycoon Enrique Razon Jr.’s International Container Terminal Services Inc.
The CXP7 service route includes Shanghai, Wenzhou, Manila (South), Cebu, and Cagayan de Oro (MCT), with MCT receiving calls every Monday. The inaugural call in Cagayan de Oro featured the arrival of the 1,800-TEU capacity vessel SITC Haode.
“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, the CEO of MCT.
