FAMOUS Pacific Forwarding Philippines Inc., a member of the FPS network of independent forwarders and NVOCCs, has commenced two-way domestic ocean services to link the main international ports of Manila and Cebu to key ports across the nation.
The new services are operating weekly to Davao, Cagayan de Oro and to other main destination ports in the south, catering both for FCL and LCL traffic. They come in response to strong domestic demand for international shipments.
A company statement said that any other port can be served on demand. By connecting with its international groupage services, FPS is able to offer through services between internal Philippine points and many major global ports.
In addition to container freight, Famous Pacific Forwarding is also offering ro-ro services, and plans to add conventional capacity later on.
Director Marina Rollan said: "While there has been a downturn in overall volumes of international cargo in 2012, there has been an upwards trend in the domestic sector. This has been caused by growing demand for transport of goods from Manila to various points of the Southern Philippines, supplying construction materials, feeding the growth in commercial outlets and providing distribution of finished products."
