Potential disruption to cargo movements through Manila Port
5 October 2026
Two port sector groups have announced a "holiday" effective 5 and 6 October 2026 in protest of ongoing operational and regulatory issues at the Manila port. Â
Customers may experience reduced truck availability, delays to container pick-up and return activities, longer lead times for cargo deliveries, and temporary congestion as cargo movements are deferred.
We continue to monitor the situation and will provide significant updates as conditions change.
In the meantime, please contact your local Toll Global Forwarding representative if you require further information.
*Dates and times are indicated in local times.
