SCMAP Executive Director

North Harbor Chaos

The drama continues at the North Harbor. For its part, SCMAP has taken the following positions

  • Objection to the 5% concession fee on ancillary services (letter to PPA Board, March 31, 2010)
  • Grave concern over the slow service at the North Harbor starting with the takeover on April 12 (letter to PPA Board, April 19, 2010).

Delays are being experienced in both outbound and inbound shipments, as a consequence of the inadequate and dilapidated equipment of MNHPI, and new systems and procedures not properly cascaded.

Delays will increase shipping cost and affect the distribution and availability of products in the Visayas and Mindanao. Out of stock situations will lead to lost sales, and are bad for the economy as a whole. SCMAP joined PLSA, PSB, cargo handlers and port labor in a press conference last Friday.
