Port Performance

The Naval port is a small port serving the Biliran province only, which is the less populated in the Region 8. Never congested, vessels transporting relief cargos would be prioritised anyway in case of emergency.

The average cargo transiting per month is 1,800 mt.

There is no equipment to receive containers or heavy equipment. There is a possibility of renting a crane and other equipment outside the port but it is preferable to contract ships with cranes.
