Philippine contractor Aboitiz Construction has completed the Lagonglong Port project for Amadi MGT Terminals, strengthening its commitment to infrastructure development and economic growth in Mindanao. The construction of this private commercial port, located in Lagonglong, Misamis Oriental, involved building dock facilities, storage areas for perishable goods, and the installation of loading and unloading equipment.

With a handling capacity of up to 3.3 mil mt of bulk cargo annually, the new port is poised to streamline logistics for transporting agricultural products and raw materials, strengthen regional trade capacity, and create employment opportunities for the local community. The berth measures 23 m in width and 250 m in length, with a seabed elevation of -21 m from mean lower low water (MLLW), allowing it to accommodate larger vessels and support efficient cargo handling operations.

The groundbreaking ceremony for the Lagonglong Port project was held in January 2024, with Aboitiz Construction appointed as its official contractor. The company said up to 300 workers were deployed during peak construction periods.

In marine works, Aboitiz Construction has also signed a partnership with DICT Bulk Terminal in October 2024 to build a new berth dedicated to cement shipments at the Davao International Container Terminal (DICT) in Panabo City, Davao del Norte. This project marks the construction of DICT’s fifth berth and is targeted for completion within the year. The facility will primarily accommodate cement and cementitious materials, further supporting the region’s infrastructure and development needs.

In addition to marine infrastructure capabilities, Aboitiz Construction previously completed major projects in Balamban, Cebu for Tsuneishi Heavy Industries. These included a 100-ha shipbuilding facility as well as the pier head and admin building project, which involved extensive reclamation works, a causeway and various support facilities.
