Sea cargo by port

Cargo leaving each listed Cebu port for another Philippine port. Pick a year and a measure; each port is a circle sized by its cargo, placed at the centre of the town or city it is in.

Outbound only. PSA’s coastwise table records the port a shipment leaves from, not the port it arrives at, so cargo arriving in Cebu by sea is not in these figures.

Value is in pesos of each year, as recorded. Weight is in tonnes. Two listed “other ports” groups have no single location and appear in the list only.

Coastwise commodity flow

PSA OpenSTAT, Domestic Trade Statistics, Annual Commodity Flow in the Philippines: Coastwise (table 0012L4DDCA0). Cargo shipped between Philippine ports, by commodity and port of origin, from the documents filed at each port. Quantity in kilograms and value in pesos at the prices of each year. This page shows the 21 ports PSA lists in Cebu, including two groups of “other” ports.

Air commodity flow

PSA OpenSTAT, Annual Commodity Flow in the Philippines: Air (table 0012L4DDAA0), by commodity, station of origin and station of destination. Station CEB is the Mactan-Cebu airport in Lapu-Lapu City, labelled Cebu City in the table. Domestic flights only; international cargo is in PSA’s foreign trade statistics, not here.

What the records do not cover

Sea cargo arriving in Cebu is not in the coastwise table, which records the port of origin only. Shipments not documented at a listed port, such as small boats at unlisted landings, are not counted. Large changes between single years can reflect how shipments were recorded and classified, so compare several years before reading a trend.

What the figures can and cannot say

They show what was recorded leaving Cebu’s ports and passing through its airport, and of what kind. They do not show who shipped it, its final market, or prices. Values are in each year’s pesos, so long-run growth also carries inflation. Extracted through the PSA OpenSTAT API on .
