Core Service Divisions in Sea Transport and Sea Freight Services
Engineered marine transport solutions configured for commercial container lines, coastal feeder corridors, and industrial project vessels.
Under our commercial sea transport & sea freight services, fixed-day domestic container vessel schedules connect Manila North Harbor (Pier 4, 16) directly to Cebu, Cagayan de Oro, Davao, Iloilo, and General Santos. Synchronized with our road transport services for end-to-end container drayage to your warehouse loading dock.
Providing reliable sea transport and sea freight services, we secure tier-1 ocean carrier space bookings for international shipments departing Manila (MICT / South Harbor), Batangas, and Subic Bay. Integrated with our verified freight forwarding services and comprehensive customs services clearance desks.
Our specialized sea transport and sea freight operations provide direct vehicle and rolling equipment transport connecting the Pan-Philippine Highway nautical highway system. Trucks drive directly onboard RORO vessels at terminal ferry ramps, avoiding cargo pier re-handling and supported by our verified transport companies and agencies.
Under our sea transport and sea freight services, shallow-draft vessel solutions designed for remote island destinations lacking developed commercial port infrastructure. Landing craft tanks drop bow ramps directly onto unpaved beachheads or riverbanks for heavy equipment discharge, working closely with our loading & unloading services rigging teams.
Maritime Documentation & SOLAS VGM Compliance
International and domestic sea freight demands rigorous regulatory compliance to prevent vessel detention by maritime port state authorities. Under our sea transport and sea freight services, we manage verified gross mass submissions and port wharfage reconciliation.
- SOLAS Verified Gross Mass (VGM): Certified platform scale weight certificates submitted electronically to vessel operators prior to container load cut-offs.
- PPA Port Wharfage & Terminal Dues: Seamless pre-settlement of Philippine Ports Authority wharfage and arrastre fees for fast terminal gate entry.
