Mindanao Container Terminal (MCT) recently received the inaugural call of SITC’s new China-Philippines Express 7 (CXP7) service.

The maiden call at the Tagaloan, Misamis Oriental terminal was marked by the arrival of 1,800-twenty-foot equivalent unit capacity vessel SITC Haode, according to International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI). MCT is a subsidiary of ICTSI.

ICTSI said the new service caters to the increasing export volume of fresh produce from Bukidnon such as pineapple and banana, providing 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,” MCT chief executive officer Aurelio Garcia said.

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

Aside from MCT, SITC’s CPX6 service last May made its maiden call to Iloilo’s Visayas Container Terminal, which is also operated by ICTSI.
