The Port of Subic Bay

The Port of Subic is a major seaport in the Philippines and South East Asia. Located about southwest of Luzon Island and about 100 kilometers northwest of Manila Bay, it has a deep natural harbor with an excellent and sheltered anchorage, naturally protecting it from typhoons. This same feature further sharpens its competitive edge for deep sea, short sea and inland shipping.

This Philippine port of strategic and historic significance covers a total of 41 hectares with 15 operational piers and wharves, which include a bulk fertilizer terminal, a bulk grains terminal, a general cargo terminal, and a passenger/cruise ship terminal, as well as shipbuilding and ship repair facilities.

In addition to these port facilities that can handle all kinds of sea vessels, including Panamax Class container vessels, the Port of Subic also has two modern container terminals with a total handling capacity of 600,000 TEUs per annum. These two new multi-purpose terminals provide domestic and regional container shipping industries on and off-dock marine port cargo and container handling services.

The Port of Subic is likewise an ideal logistics and transshipment hub, as its strategic location along major sea lanes makes it easily accessible to regional markets and international shipping ports. At the same time, storage warehouses, as well as cargo handling service providers, shipping agencies and forwarders, are conveniently located within the pier area.

Aside from the great commercial value of the Port of Subic, its deep blue waters provide a perfect backdrop to the entire Subic Bay Freeport not only as a vital port and investment site but also as an attractive tourism haven.
