“With over 28 years of dedicated service and more than 15 years leading port operations, Mr. Fernandez embodies OPASCOR’s vision of a workers’ enterprise built on skill, ownership, and purpose,” OPASCOR said.
Established in 1990, OPASCOR is a Filipino company owned and operated by workers, providing port services to vessels calling at Cebu International Port (CIP) in Cebu baseport.
It has two subsidiaries, Golden Continental Port Terminal Services, Inc. in Cagayan de Oro, and Diadem Terminal Maritime Services & Realty, Inc. in Cebu City.
OPASCOR general manager Atty. Florimae Velasco earlier said for this year, the port operator is deepening CIP’s draft to 12 meters this year to accommodate bigger vessels and is transitioning from the in-house terminal operating system (TOS) to a commercial TOS for smoother exchange of data to our clients, the shipping lines, and other stakeholders.
