PPA: Ports ready for the holidays through Chinese New Year

Philippine ports will remain efficient and productive this holiday season despite the expected rush of passengers and cargoes with only five days to go before the Philippines celebrates Christmas, the Philippine Ports Authority said.

In a statement, PPA General Manager Jay Daniel Santiago said that ports would be ready to handle increased traffic, but urged cargo owners not to relax in the cargo withdrawals and to continue to take advantage of the Truck Appointment and Booking System in order to have a very smooth turnaround time for the country’s foreign cargoes.
