MCT welcomes new Evergreen, Wan Hai Lines joint service

Mindanao Container Terminal (MCT) received last August the inaugural call of a new joint service by Evergreen and Wan Hai Lines.

The 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. It further strengthens MCT’s role as an important gateway for trade in Mindanao.

“This new partnership with Evergreen and Wan Hai further demonstrates our commitment to provide enhanced connectivity to Mindanao’s exporters and importers. 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,” said Aurelio Garcia, MCT chief executive officer.

The vessels operating 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.

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, the terminal commits to supporting the region’s growth and providing timely, efficient trade solutions for customers.
