The Aurora Pacific Economic Zone and Freeport Authority (APECO) is in talks with 2GO Group Inc., a leading logistics and transportation provider in the Philippines, to conduct a land logistics route study for Aurora province.
The study aims to support future investors and locators by improving the movement of goods and equipment in and out of the region.
The proposed route study will evaluate the capacity of Aurora’s existing road networks and determine the appropriate types and sizes of trucks to ensure efficient transport to and from the APECO zone.
“Our goal is to provide reliable logistics solutions for our locators, ensuring their goods and equipment are moved as efficiently as possible,” said APECO business development and marketing division manager Gene Angelo.
Long-term development plans were also discussed, including the proposed construction of a seaport and airport in Casiguran.
These facilities are expected to accommodate larger shipments and support key industries such as renewable energy, particularly the transport of wind turbine components, and manufacturing, especially as APECO positions itself as a hub for the defense sector.
Cold-chain logistics to boost the commercial fishing industry in the region were also highlighted as a priority.
“We want to ensure that our infrastructure can meet the demands of the industries and investments we aim to attract, both now and in the future,” Ferrer said.
Located in Casiguran, Aurora, APECO is a special economic zone with a strategic location, rich natural resources, and strong potential for multi-sectoral development.
