Vessel Services
Berthing facilities
Presently, the fast
craft located at the northeast section of the wharf is being
utilized by the lone "Supercat" fastcraft vessel plying the
Calapan-Batangas route. However, the port's operational plan is
to permanently utilize the recently completed 75-meter long finger
pier at the southwest portion of the wharf as dedicated berths for
fast crafts which can accommodate a maximum of four (4) vessels in
one time. This plan, however, will materialize upon completion of
the ongoing construction of the new Pasenger Terminal Building (PTB)
adjoining the finger pier by the second quarter of 2008.
Roll-On Roll-Off (Roro)
facilities
The wharf has seven
(7) RoRo ramps spaced evenly along its entire faceline. The
berthing length/area, however, of the RoRo ramp at the
southernmost portion of the facility is intermittently used for
berthing of conventional vessels. The following are the
particulars of the said ramps:
1. RoRo ramp nos. 1,
2 and 3 - 9.0m x 9.0m fixed ramp and constructed flush with the
wharf's faceline. Berthing depth is -5.0m from MLLW.
2. RoRo ramp No. 4 -
9.0m x 11.0m fixed ramp but independent of the wharf's faceline
(protruding). Berthing dept is -5.0m from MLLW.
