The Port of Manila refers to the
collective facilities and terminals that processes maritime trade function in
harbours that serves the Metro
Manila Area . It is located in the Port Area and Tondo area of Manila, Philippines facing
the Manila Bay. It is
the largest and the premier international shipping gateway to the country.
The Philippine Ports Authority, a government-owned
corporation, manages the Port of Manila and most of the public ports in the
country. It is composed of 3 major facilities namely Manila North Harbor,
Manila South Harbor and the Manila International Container Terminal.
The Port of
Manila and the area dates back to Spanish and pre-Spanish rule of the
Philippine Islands. It is recorded that Manila and the Philippines had trade
relations with most neighboring countries at least as far back as the 9th to
12th centuries. Major trading partners included China and Japan, with ties to India through the areas that are now Malaysia and Indonesia.[3] The Spanish-controlled Port of Manila
handled trade primarily with China and other East Asian countries, with Mexico,
with Arab countries, and directly with Spain from the 16th to mid-19th century
CE when the port was opened to all trade ships. Manila Bay was the setting for
the Battle of Manila Bay in 1898 between United
States and Spanish forces, and the siege of Corregidor Island
by invading Japanese forces in 1942.
