At the mouth of the Agusan River, where Butuan City meets Butuan Bay, Masao handles the everyday maritime traffic of north-eastern Mindanao. The port works mainly as a domestic roll-on/roll-off and general-cargo facility, moving vehicles, passengers and breakbulk for the Caraga region rather than international containers. Its berths are sized for inter-island vessels, and no deep-sea container line calls here. Hinterland access to Agusan del Norte relies on the road network, with no rail link. Shippers needing containerised or customs-cleared international cargo route through nearby Nasipit, the area's commercial gateway, while ore exporters favour Surigao further north.
