Unhampered Movement of Cargoes in Ports

DOTr-PPA has institutionalized the following policies to ensure the unhampered movement of
cargoes in ports:

PPA facilitated the unhampered flow of trucks by adopting a policy that cargo documents such
as Bill of Lading and Delivery Order are sufficient for the purpose of movement of trucks to and
from the ports, inland container depot or warehouse.

Issued PPA Memorandum Circular (MC) No. 13-2020 dated April 3, 2020, amending MC No. 10-
2020 by providing that trucks carrying cargoes from one port to another port in the country,
regardless of whether they will be traversing a body or bodies of water shall be allowed
continuous access to and from said ports.

On April 7, 2020, Issued PPA MC No. 14-2020 amending PPA MC No. 13-2020 by further relaxing
the requirements for trucks and drivers and helpers passing through the ports. It states that truck
drivers and helpers shall be allowed unhampered access to and from the ports to enable them
to proceed to their final destination, subject only to safety and health measures being
implemented by PPA.

Unhampered Movement of Cargoes in Ports

cargoes in ports:

others, for Emergency Approval and Extensions and Approvals. The validity of all permits that
expired before March 17, 2020 and will expire during the effectivity of ECQ are deemed
extended until June 30, 2020 or until the lifting of the ECQ implementation whichever comes
later.

Signed and issued Joint Administrative Order (JAO) No. 20-01 entitled “Adoption of Processes for
the Expeditious Release of Refrigerated Containers and Dry Vans During the Period of Enhanced
Community Quarantine” jointly with the DTI, DA and BOC.

DOTr and PPA continued the call for cargo owners and consignees to withdraw overstaying
cargoes and help free needed space inside the Manila International Container Terminal (MICT),

coronavirus pandemic such as food items, protective equipment and medicine.
