摘要：	The Philippines has a long history as a maritime nation and continues this interest through the further development of its port infrastructure, terminals, ships, and maritime workforce. The Philippine Port Authority (PPA) has traditionally maintained a close hold on all port development and operations. Recently, however, the PPA has allowed ports and private-sector investors much more freedom to develop and operate larger, international ports. The Asian financial crisis has delayed a new $41 million berth in Manila, but the PPA looks forward to completing its master plan, which includes the development of 10 international-scale ports, as well as new intermodal services, among the many islands which comprise the Philippines. From the perspective of the U.S. agricultural exporter and the Philippine importer, the ocean liner industry, composed of shipping lines like Sea-Land, Maersk, and American President Lines, is a vital link between U.S. farms and the Philippine consumer. Understanding which shipping firms are doing the majority of the business, how perishable products move through Asia to the Philippines, how shipping firms price their services, and what can be done to maintain product quality while lowering shipping costs are essential to establishing long-term, profitable marketing operations.
