Port of Cebu



History

Cebu has a rich, colorful history, and was an important strategic center for both traders from Southern China and later Spaniards who colonized the country. In the pre-Spanish era, Zubu, as Cebu was then called, was already an important trading center serving merchants from as far away as Arabia, China, Siam, Borneo and the Molucca Islands.

The Portuguese explorer, Ferdinand Magellan, reached Cebu in 1521 and was killed on nearby Island during a battle. The surviving crew members returned to Spain and became the first sailors to circumnavigate the globe. Spanish explorer, Legaspi, returned to Cebu some 30 years later and made the city his capital for the new Spanish colony.

On July 30, 1886 under Spanish colonial rule, the Port of Cebu was declared open to world trade with such significant exports as spices, abaca, sugar, corn, copra, tobacco, lumber, pearls, and native textiles, passing through its port.

The succeeding American colonial era saw Cebu continuing its significance as a major Philippine seaport with chief exports of hemp, coconut oil, copra, sugar, maguey, lumber and tobacco handled through the port.

Formerly a component of the Philippine Ports Authority since 1975, Cebu and all ports within the Cebu City and province were turned over to the Cebu Port Authority from 1992 to 1995. By 1996, Cebu Port Authority was then fully operationalized until today.

Philippines Shipping Report Q1 2012
Business Monitor International

For 2012, the Port of Cebu has positioned itself as the trailblazer as far as Philippines ports sector is concerned, with highly impressive year-on-year (y-o-y) tonnage throughput growth of 24.43% forecast. This increase would see the Port of Cebu retain its place as the country's number one port in terms of tonnage throughput, ahead of the Manila International Container Terminal (MICT), which we predict will enjoy healthy y-o-y growth of 7.40% in 2012.

BMI believes that the Philippines is set for strong, healthy economic growth over the long-term, and could be one of the best-performing markets in Asia over the coming decade. A low overall loan-to-deposit ratio of 62%, a high Tier 1 capital ratio of 14.2%, and moderating non-performing loans, combined with the country's positive demographics story, all point to healthy growth potential. Over the long term, we also see strong potential in the Philippines' demographics. With the archipelago set to add almost 14mn to its population by the end of the decade, and per capita GDP to more than double, vast opportunity lies in the shipping sector.

Several Asian states, including the Philippines, have until now successfully balanced strong trade ties with China and security pacts with the US. The question is whether this will continue to be the case, or whether these countries will eventually have to align their security policies with China. For the foreseeable future, we believe that Asia's major states will not have to make such a decision. Neither China nor the US is exerting pressure on countries to choose sides for the time being. Should this change then the Philippines could find itself between a rock and a hard place.

Headline Industry Data

- 2012 tonnage throughput at MICT forecast to grow 7.40% to 20.08mn tonnes.
- 2012 tonnage throughput at the Port of Cebu forecast to increase 24.43% to 34.27mn tonnes.
- 2012 tonnage throughput at the Port of Davao forecast to rise by 5.82% to 11.46mn tonnes.
- The real value of the Philippines' total trade will rise by 5.0% this year, with exports totalling US$64.47bn, ahead of imports at US$63.48bn.

A small correction on item 5. It should read "5. Carmen to Albuera, Leyte

[ydderf101]

wala lagi maapil ang wharf sa atlas fertilizer sa sangi toledo city.

[mAiNsTrEaMhunter]

take note of this, "The territorial jurisdiction of the Authority shall include all ports, seas, lakes, rivers and all other navigable inland waterways within the province of Cebu, the City of Cebu, and all other highly urbanized cities which may be created after the enactment of R.A. 7621." - Cebu Port Authority

so any wharf in Toledo or in anywhere else in Cebu for that matter is definitely under CPA!

P20-B Cebu international port eyed
By Mars W. Mosqueda Jr. (Manila Bulletin)
September 5, 2011

image hosted on flickr


LILOAN, Cebu, Philippines – Authorities are revisiting a plan that had been shelved in 2002 to build a P20.4-billion offshore international port between the towns of Consolacion and Liloan, in northern Cebu.

The Cebu Ports Authority (CPA) is the proponent of the P20.4-billion offshore international port. According to officials of the CPA, funding for the project could be sourced from either a loan or through an investment as a result of public-private sector partnership.

The CPA has presented plans for the proposed port to be constructed in Maya, Daanbantayan as well as for the improvement of the Hagnaya port in San Remigio. The latter project is being supported by Cebu (fourth district) Representative Benhur Salimbangon.

Representatives of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and the Department of Transportation and Communications (DoTC) met in Cebu Monday to take another look at the study of the proposed international container port.

Pero based on the law quoted above, Balamban shipyard falls under CPA, right? Or was the law modified?
