Port Overview

The Batangas City Port is the jump off point for travelers who wish to visit nearby islands. It serves to passengers mostly from the Cavite-Laguna- Batangas-Rizal-Quezon (Calabarzon) Region but travelers from Manila are also common. There are two major terminals here, one for passengers and the other for cargo and shipping.

The Bauan International Port is operated by the Integrated Container Terminal Services Inc (ICTSI).The Bauan terminal is approximately 120 kilometers south of Manila and nine kilometers west of Batangas City. Facing the Batangas Bay, the terminal is within a natural cove, and is protected from adverse weather conditions by several islands, which are clearly visible from the bay. The terminal supports cargo movements in and out of the Calabarzon. An agro-industrial hub, Bauan is a first-class municipality in the Batangas province. Batangas, in turn, is one of five provinces that compose the CALABARZON region, the Philippines’ automotive hub. For instance, shipment from the Philippine operations of Japanese car makers Mitsubishi and Honda pass through the Bauan port.
