Mindanao Container Terminal (MCT) received the inaugural call of MV Ever Core under a new joint service by Taiwanese carriers Evergreen and Wan Hai Lines last August.
The new bi-monthly service enhances MCT’s connectivity with key international markets in Hong Kong and Taiwan through the ports of Cagayan de Oro, Davao, Shekou, Subic, and Cebu, according to MCT parent company International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI). It further strengthens the role of Cagayan de Oro-based MCT, as an important gateway for trade in Mindanao, the company said.
“This new partnership with Evergreen and Wan Hai further demonstrates our commitment to providing enhanced connectivity to Mindanao’s exporters and importers,” MCT chief executive officer Aurelio Garcia said in a statement.
“As we continue to grow and expand our network, we’re confident that this new service will bring greater value to the region’s agricultural sector and foster economic growth,” Garcia added.
Evergreen’s MV Ever Core, a 1,984 twenty-foot equivalent unit-capacity vessel, operates the service alternate with Wan Hai Lines’ Mindanao–Hong Kong–Taiwan (MHT) service, which is designed to meet the timely export needs of coconut by-products.
“The additional capacity and improved schedules will help ensure that agricultural exporters can reliably meet the increasing demand from international buyers of one of Mindanao’s primary exports,” ICTSI said.
It noted that MCT continues to enhance its facilities and expand its service offerings, positioning itself as a vital hub for international trade in Southern Philippines.
By increasing capacity and introducing new shipping line services, ICTSI said the terminal commits to supporting the region’s growth and providing timely, efficient trade solutions for customers.
