Operated under the Philippine Ports Authority with a Bureau of Customs presence, Aparri is a designated port of entry near the mouth of the Cagayan River on the Luzon Strait in northern Luzon. Its trade is built on regional produce and forestry – logs and lumber, rice, corn, copra and fish products – alongside petroleum products for local distribution. The port handles breakbulk, general cargo and small passenger vessels but has no container-handling equipment, so boxed freight cannot be worked here. A shallow river entrance and open-roadstead conditions restrict draught, limiting the size of vessels that can call. Authorities have promoted Cagayan as a future northern maritime gateway, which could expand Aparri's function over time. For containerised shipments, forwarders rely on Manila, Subic or Port Irene at Santa Ana in Cagayan province.
