A P110 million expansion will be undertaken on the port in Medellin town to accommodate more excursions and speed up the transportation of its sugarcane harvest to the neighboring Negros Island to support further development in northern Cebu.
Once the project is completed, however, the port will be able to accommodate bigger vessels and more shipping firms may conduct operations there. “Currently, the sugar farm that is left, since the sugar milling firm here has closed, they transport their harvest to Negros Occidental to be milled. That is why our target once the port is finished and more roro vessels can dock in the Port of Kawit, so why do we have to go to Tabuelan so we can transport our harvests if we have our own port?” he said.
Villamor said they also plan to make the Port of Kawit the first choice of travelers when going to Bantayan Island. Currently, travelers go to Hagnaya Port in Barangay Hagnaya, San Remigio town to take a ferry ride to the island.
