Davao (UN/LOCODE PH DVO) is the busiest seaport on the southern Philippine island of Mindanao, handling roughly 825,000 TEU (2022) with a strong reefer focus. The complex combines the state-run Sasa Wharf, operated by the Philippine Ports Authority, with the privately run Davao International Container Terminal (DICT), a joint venture of ANFLOCOR and Dole-Stanfilco geared to refrigerated agricultural exports. A Phase 2 expansion due by end-2026 will add capacity and around 150 new reefer plugs. Cargo is dominated by containers, reefer boxes and breakbulk – Cavendish bananas, pineapples and coconut products lead the export side – rather than dry bulk or tankers. Hinterland links to the Davao Region and much of Mindanao run mainly by road, with no continuous rail network. Shippers needing more international direct calls or transshipment typically route via Manila (MICT), Cebu or General Santos.
