The Davao Fish Port Complex (DFPC) is the seventh commercial
fish port to be operated and managed by the Philippine Fisheries
Development Authority (PFDA). It is, however, the second major
fishing port established in Mindanao Area. This 4.5 hectare complex
serves as a center for the collection, processing, storage and
packaging of fishery and marine products for distribution to
Davao City's area of influence and to the export market.
Envisioned to be similar in operations to that of an ordinary
regional fish port which caters to the needs of the local fishing
industry, the DFPC has become a major transshipment point and
center of trade within the East ASEAN Growth Area (EAGA). The
modernization of commercial fishery coupled with the required
infrastructure is the country's commitment to EAGA.
The project cost Php 359,192,594.59 and funded through the
Overseas Economic Cooperation Fund of Japan (OECF). Construction
commenced on June 25, 1993 and lasted for a period of 25 months.
 Location
Situated in Daliao, Toril District, DFPC is about 16 kilometers
from the center of Davao City. Bounded on the North by Davao
del Norte, by Davao Gulf on the East, by the municipality of
Sta. Cruz on the South and North Cotabato Province on the West.
It is located 125 degrees E 35 degrees latitude and 7 degrees
N 10 degrees longitude.
Davao Fish Port Complex
Services and Port Operations
In May 1995, local commercial fishing vessel started unloading
their catch and conduct fish trading activities in this traditional
landing site. Regular market hours are from 5:00 to 8:00 in the
morning.
The breakthrough in foreign transshipment operations took
place on July 12, 1995 when a Taiwanese fishing vessel unloaded,
processed and packed its fish cargo at DFPC and eventually exported
it to market abroad. These foreign fishing vessels are serviced
by transshipment agents occupying bays at the market hall.
A One-Stop-Action-Center (OSAC) was established inside DFPC
to facilitate processing of documents for fishery products that
are to be exported and for the entry and dispatch of foreign
fishing vessels.
Processing of marine products such as prawn, tuna, octopus,
and cuttlefish are undertaken at the refrigeration building in
addition to 24 hours ice production.
