About This Seaport
Anchored on the south coast of Mindanao, General Santos — also known as Dadiangas, with Makar as its main wharf — is one of the busiest gateways of the SOCCSKSARGEN region. Operated by South Cotabato Integrated Port Services (ICTSI group), it offers around 800 metres of quay, a container terminal rated at roughly 250,000 TEU a year and multipurpose berths for general, bulk and containerised cargo. An adjacent fish port complex, among the largest in the Philippines, consolidates high-grade tuna, with reefer boxes handled at the main port. The port therefore pairs agricultural exports — tuna, pineapple and banana — with reefer ocean freight bound for international markets. Road links serve General Santos City and the wider SOCCSKSARGEN hinterland. For broader liner networks and transhipment, shippers often route via the larger hubs of Davao (Sasa) and Manila. General Santos is best suited to temperature-controlled agribusiness and fish exports plus regional breakbulk.
