DAVAO CITY- The Department of Transportation (DOTr) is set to launch a new shipping route between Davao, General Santos in the Philippines and Bitung, Indonesia scheduled on April 28, 2017. Accordingly, it is one of the three Asean Roll-On/Roll-Off (RORO) priority routes identified in the Japan International Cooperation Agency’s feasibility study on the establishment of an ASEAN RORO shipping network.

Bitung is a city on the northern coast of the island of Sulawesi in Indonesia. It faces Lembeh Strait which is known for its colorful marine life. The ASEAN RORO roadmap, as planned, will lead to an integrated and competitive maritime transport in Asean and maritime transport-related measures under the Asean Economic Community Blueprint, Master Plan on Asean Connectivity and Brunei Action Plan 2011 to 2015 and the Kuala Lumpur Transport Strategic Plan 2016 to 2025.

“Having a shipping route such as this is crucial for any maritime region. Sea linkage will strengthen our economies and our partnerships in other areas of development. And it will also improve the quality of life of our people because local businessmen and traders will directly benefit from this,” DOTr Secretary Arthur Tugade said.
