🇵🇭 Philippines
Southeast Asia · Multi-Purpose Port
Voyages from Davao in Philippines navigate the world's busiest shipping lanes, anchored by the Strait of Malacca — a 550-mile corridor through which roughly 100,000 vessels transit annually. The Malacca and Singapore Straits remain a persistent piracy hotspot, with ReCAAP recording dozens of incidents per year; most are low-level opportunistic theft at anchor, but the geographic concentration demands attention in any voyage risk model. Waters off eastern Sabah and the Sulu Sea present a more severe kidnap-for-ransom threat. PSC inspection regimes vary substantially across ASEAN members, and the Tokyo MOU detention data identifies which flags and vessel types face elevated scrutiny in the region.
Routed sea distances from Davao to the principal global hubs, computed by ArcNautical's routing engine — around land and through the canals a ship actually uses, not great-circle.
No port-call data observed at Davao in the last 180 days. This reflects the reach of the terrestrial AIS network behind this page — coverage is densest in Northwest Europe and thins elsewhere — and is not a statement about traffic at Davao.
Davao falls under the Tokyo MoU. The Tokyo Memorandum of Understanding (Asia-Pacific) maintains the most active publicly-available regional PSC programme. Across the last 24 months, the Tokyo MoU detention dataset records 5,454 distinct vessel detentions (sourced from OpenSanctions, as of 2026-08-02). Vessel-level detention probability is computed by ArcNautical using flag performance, vessel age, deficiency history, and ownership opacity.
