Carlos A. Gothong Lines, popularly known as CAGLI and formerly once known simply as Gothong Lines, is a cargo shipping company based in Cebu, Philippines. CAGLI was formerly a part of WG&A (William, Gothong, & Aboitiz), which served 23 major provincial ports throughout the Philippines and was the first domestic shipping company in the country to be certified by the International Safety Management Code standard.[citation needed] CAGLI, William Lines and Aboitiz Shipping formed the biggest merger in the Philippine shipping industry.[1]
