The port is used to transport cargo in and out of General Santos, serving the wider Soccsksargen region.[3] From 2008 until 2018, the seaport did not serve domestic passenger services. Passenger services was briefly resumed in October 2018[4] with 2Go Travel serving Davao City, Zamboanga City, Iloilo City, and Manila for eight months.[2] 2go resumed its Davao City route by 2021. The Philippine Ports Authority is working to expand the seaport's passenger operations.[5]
In September 2021, a new Port Operations Building (POB) complex for the seaport was inaugurated.[2][3][6]
