BUSY SUBIC SEAPORT
The MV Sicilia, a Liberian-registered cargo ship plying the China–Manila route, docked on its maiden voyage last Friday at the New Container Terminal in Subic Bay Freeport to unload cargo from Xiamen.
Subic, which was recently designated as an extension port of Manila, now draws a higher volume of containerized traffic for Central and Northern Luzon areas.
Together with American President Lines and Wan Hai, SITC which handles the Xiamen-Subic route is the third major shipping line to regularly call on Subic on a weekly basis.
