“Cebu Port congestion getting absurd”

CEBU, Philippines — Port operations need to be dispersed out of Cebu City as it is getting congested already.

Presidential Assistant for Visayas Michael Dino said the situation at the Cebu International Port (CIP) is starting to get “absurd”.

“Our existing container port is situated in a congested corridor of the city center,” Dino said in a recent event in Talisay City, Cebu where a new container port will be built by next year by a private company and completed within three years.

“You can see for yourself how clogged our existing port is,” Dino pointed out.

“Pier 1 to 6 for domestic vessels are co-located with the Cebu International Port,” the official added. “I do not know if you agree with me that such situation is becoming absurd, especially now that we need to be globally competitive.”

He said Cebu must continue to improve to keep a competitive edge over its other Southeast Asian neighbors.
