THE Philippine Ports Authority (PPA) said it exceeded its 2025 target with 307.64 million metric tons (MMT) of cargo throughput for the year, up 6.3%.<\/p>\n

Citing preliminary data, foreign cargo volume rose 4.62% to 193.10 MMT, while domestic cargo rose 9.27% to 114.55 MMT.<\/p>\n

Last year, PPA container ports served 8.57 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs), up 9.31%.<\/p>\n

PPA fell short of its 2025 passenger traffi<\/span>c target of 85.41 million, recording 82.42 million passengers, up 4.58%.<\/p>\n

In the fourth quarter, PPA logged cargo throughput of 74.43 MMT, up 4.36% from a year earlier.<\/span><\/p>\n

The port regulator logged container throughput of 2.18 million TEUs, up 3.31%. Passenger traffi<\/span>c in the fourth quarter was 19.32 million, up 5.46%.<\/p>\n

For 2026, the PPA said it is expecting cargo volume to grow 4.03% to 320.94 MMT, driven mainly by foreign cargo.<\/p>\n

The PPA said foreign cargo volume is expected to rise 4.28% to 202.73 MMT. Domestic cargo volume is seen rising 3.61% to 118.22 MMT.<\/p>\n

Container throughput is forecast to increase 3.94% to 8.88 million TEUs. For this year, passenger traffic is expected to grow 5.78% to 87.26 million. <\/span><\/p>\n

The PPA said it remains optimistic about cargo and passenger traff<\/span>ic growth due to continued investment in port upgrades. \u2014 Ashley Erika O. Jose<\/b><\/p>\n
