Around 3.36 million tonnes of cargo, 14,300 TEU and 5,700 vessel calls pass yearly through Puerto Princesa, the Philippine Ports Authority gateway serving Palawan island on the Sulu Sea. A multipurpose quay and two conventional buoy moorings handle containers, breakbulk, dry bulk and passenger ferries side by side, complemented by busy cruise traffic of some 345,000 travellers. Exports centre on coconut products, lumber, furniture and marine and agricultural goods, while imports cover construction materials, consumer goods and finished products for the island. Hinterland distribution relies solely on Palawan's road network, with no rail link, keeping the port regional rather than a deep-sea hub. For intercontinental container shipments, transshipment via Manila (MICT) is the practical route, while the subports of Coron and Cuyo extend reach across the archipelago.
