The Philippine based and Manila-listed International Container Terminal Services Inc. (ICTSI) reported that its local Cagayan de Oro operation Mindanao Container Terminal (MCT), has received the inaugural call of MV “Ever Core” under the new joint service by Evergreen and Wan Hai Lines in August 2024.
The new container service enhances MCT’s connectivity with key international markets in Hong Kong and Taiwan through the Philippine ports of Cagayan de Oro, Davao, Shekou, Subic, and Cebu.
MCT informs that the 1,984 TEU MV “Ever Core” is operating the bi-monthly 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.
Aurelio Garcia, MCT chief executive officer, says that “This new partnership with Evergreen and Wan Hai further demonstrates our commitment to providing 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.”
