Cebu Shipping Companies

The ports of Cebu is one of the safest ports in the Philippines because of its location. The smaller satellite islands in the Visayan region and surrounding Cebu city protects the port from strong winds and heavy tropical storms.

Cebu port can contain both local and international ships because of its deep seabed. More importantly, its port is the center of sending and receiving goods from anywhere in the country and around the world.

Cebu Pier & Shipping Lines. Cebu City Pier is the second busiest pier in the Philippines, after Manila. It is a hub for cargo ships that ply domestically and internationally.

Yes, you should be a boat or ship lover if you prefer to take a long ride to Cebu. There are smaller boats and larger passenger ships that carry all sorts of loads including human beings. One of the few advantages in taking a boat ride to or from Cebu is that you can save more than taking a plane.

The second advantage is that you can see some great and spectacular views during the day time – including the dolphins that swim beside your boat.
There are various sleeping quarters inside, the quality depends on your booking, and you can sleep as much as you want to.

Cebu Shipping Companies & Shipping Lines

Cebu City’s domestic port could be the busiest one among the country’s ports. Since Cebu is located at the heart of the country, ships and boats from Northern and Southern regions mostly docks, delivers, loads and uploads their cargoes or passengers.

The major shipping lines include: WG&A (Gothong Shipping Lines), Sulpicio Lines, Trans-Asia, George & Peter Lines and Lorenzo Shipping Lines which have main offices on the island. You can find most of these shipping ticket offices at SM shopping center and other branch offices in the city.

Ferries

Most of the larger ferries cover the distant routes, logically, and have capacities from 2 thousand to 4 thousand passengers. They cover routes (vice versa) including Manila, Cagayan de Oro City, Zamboanga City, Butuan City, Davao City, among others.

Such large ferries are also the mode of transporting goods from one region to another. Loading and uploading take longer than passengers getting in and out of the ferries.

The medium-size ferries are usual and most common sea transports for passengers who are regulars in traveling the nearby islands. They could be overcrowded especially during peak seasons making them so vulnerable to accidents.

Alternatives to inter-island transports are the catamaran type vessels. They are fast and also expensive. People take them when there’s emergency and when they do important business.
