Aboitiz Construction announced the completion of the Lagonglong Port project for AMADI MGT Terminals Inc. in Misamis Oriental, boosting logistics efficiency and trade capacity in Mindanao.
The private commercial port, located in Lagonglong, Misamis Oriental, included the construction of dock facilities, storage areas for perishable goods, and the installation of loading and unloading equipment.
With a handling capacity of up to 3.3 million metric tons of bulk cargo annually, the new port is poised to streamline logistics for transporting agricultural products and raw materials, strengthen regional trade capacity, and create employment opportunities for the local community.
The berth measures 23 meters in width and 250 meters in length, with a seabed elevation of -21 meters from mean lower low water (MLLW), allowing it to accommodate larger vessels and support efficient cargo handling operations.
As the official contractor, Aboitiz Construction deployed up to 300 workers during peak construction periods, highlighting its dedication to creating local jobs.
“We are not just building a port; we are fostering economic growth and job creation. Our commitment to operational excellence drives us to continue our partnership with AMADI in advancing both business and communities,” said Aboitiz Construction’s Chief Operating Officer Ramez Sihom.
The project started with a groundbreaking ceremony in January 2024.
