Set on the Agusan River in north-eastern Mindanao, Butuan City is a river terminal handled by the Philippine Ports Authority as a sub-port of the Nasipit base port. Its shallow draught of about 5.5 metres restricts calls to smaller general-cargo ships, tankers and passenger vessels of up to roughly 151 metres and around 3,700 dwt. Typical cargoes include lumber, plywood, flour, fertiliser, sugar and rolling freight serving the Caraga region. Large-scale container line service is not confirmed here, so the port mainly moves regional breakbulk and bagged goods. For containers or larger consignments, use Nasipit, or the wider hubs at Cagayan de Oro and Davao.
