Ecu-Line expands in Philippines

   Non-vessel-operating common carrier Ecu-Line has opened a new office in Davao, Philippines.
   The company first entered the Philippines in 2001 and established offices in Manila and Cebu.
   Davao serves as the main commercial hub for the Mindanao region. The city’s port is mostly dominated by containerized cargo, raw materials and bulk commodities, and passenger traffic. The port has two government-operated terminals (Sasa International Wharf and Santa Ana Domestic Wharf) and nine privately owned ports.
