Laguindingan Airport (CGY) in Misamis Oriental, west of Cagayan de Oro, is the main airport of Northern Mindanao, with domestic flights to Manila (MNL) and Cebu (CEB). International air cargo therefore connects via Manila or Cebu. Sea freight runs through the Port of Cagayan de Oro and the Mindanao Container Terminal in Tagoloan, inside the PHIVIDEC Industrial Estate east of the city.

The Butuan-Cagayan de Oro-Iligan road connects the city along the north coast, and the Sayre Highway runs south into Bukidnon, the region's agricultural heartland. We arrange pick-up and delivery across Cagayan de Oro, Misamis Oriental and Bukidnon.

Industries in Cagayan de Oro and how we support them

Cagayan de Oro is the industrial gateway of Northern Mindanao. The PHIVIDEC Industrial Estate in Tagoloan and Villanueva hosts manufacturing and processing plants, and Bukidnon's pineapple and banana plantations supply canneries and fresh fruit exports. Food processing, coconut products and agricultural inputs complete the picture. Ziem Logistics supports these supply chains with FCL sea freight via the Mindanao Container Terminal, air freight via CGY and MNL on our own air waybills, and Next Flight Out for urgent cannery and plant spare parts. Our own customs team handles declarations in-house.

Can you send urgent spare parts to a cannery near Cagayan de Oro?

Yes. We book Next Flight Out to CGY via Manila or Cebu and arrange delivery to the plant. For critical cases an On-Board Courier carries the part all the way.
