2GO Group, Inc. said it is helping ease supply chain pressure caused by the load limit and rehabilitation of San Juanico Bridge.
In a statement, 2GO said that through its roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) fleet and nationwide multimodal logistics network, it is stepping up to address the temporary logistical constraints caused by rehabilitation of San Juanico Bridge—a vital transport link between Samar and Leyte along the Eastern Nautical Highway.
With Eastern Visayas placed under a state of calamity to expedite rehabilitation efforts, 2GO is bolstering alternative routes to ensure seamless movement of goods.
“While the rehabilitation of the San Juanico Bridge presents challenges for land transport, we’re doing our part to ease pressure on supply chains through reliable, fast, and more frequent sea connectivity to and from the Visayas and Mindanao. We remain committed to supporting businesses by ensuring goods keep moving across the country,” 2GO Sea Solutions Business Unit head Sharon Musngi-Ngo said.
2GO has direct sailings between Manila and key logistics hubs—including Cebu, Cagayan de Oro, Ozamis, Butuan, Iloilo, Davao, General Santos, and Zamboanga—and moves around 5,000 twenty-foot equivalent units and RoRo trucks weekly, Musngi-Ngo noted.
In addition to sea transport, 2GO provides end-to-end logistics services through multimodal transport capabilities—integrating sea, land, and air—to bypass disrupted land routes and maintain consistent, reliable deliveries for clients across industries.
2GO also provides scalable logistics solutions—including cold chain, cross-docking, and nationwide warehousing—to support businesses of all sizes.
“As a logistics partner to industries, businesses, and communities, 2GO is deeply committed to keeping goods moving—whether for livelihoods, operations, or families,” said Frederic DyBuncio, president and chief executive officer. “Beyond providing reliable service, we take pride in playing a meaningful role in supporting economic activity and helping our nation move forward.”
The San Juanico Bridge has been closed to vehicles exceeding the 3-ton gross weight limit since mid-May due to structural integrity issues. The bridge is the only permanent land connection between Samar and Leyte and is a key component of the Pan-Philippine Highway that links Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. The weight restriction has affected connectivity between the provinces of Leyte and Samar, severely disrupting passenger and cargo traffic between the regions.
The Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry earlier suggested immediate actions to minimize economic damage brought by the temporary vehicle weight limit at San Juanico Bridge. They include the temporary waiver of port fees for essential food and medical shipments and subsidy or tax relief for affected micro, small and medium enterprises, especially those in the transport, agriculture, and retail sectors.
Alternative RoRo routes have been identified by the government while the Maritime Industry Authority has temporarily relaxed shipping schedules within its jurisdiction from June 4 to July 4 to accommodate the increased volume of passengers and cargoes in the area.
