Subic Bay Cruise

Terminal

The Port of Subic is within the Subic Bay Freeport Zone, formerly a US
Naval Base now managed by the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority.

Close to Asias busiest ports, the 41-hectare port area features a natural
cove with harbors of up to 15 meters deep - ideal for quayside boarding
and disembarkation. It has 15 operational piers and wharves that can
handle all kinds of sea vessels, including Panamax-class types.

Within a few minutes walk from the passenger terminal are shopping
centers, hotels, casinos and restaurants, offering an array of delectable
cuisines.

An easy ride away is beaches, marina, golf course, maritime museum and
water-sport facilities and shipwreck diving areas. For meetings and events
is the Subic Bay Exhibition and Convention Center, one of the countrys
biggest convention facilities. Subic Bay also offers a host of eco-tourism
attractions, including three unique nature-based theme parks. Another
interesting activity is bird-watching, which has been cited by prestigious birdwatching groups as a gold mine in a brilliant environment.

Also readily available are several lifestyle tour packages to suit every visitors
fancy. Subic Bay has its own international airport and is a mere 45-minute
drive to another international airport.

Cargo sea terminal

The port has a total of 15 operational piers and wharves and presently has three
container terminals, a fertilizer terminal at the Boton Wharf, a grain bulk terminal
at the Leyte Wharf, a general containerized cargo terminal at the Sattler Pier, as

NCT-1 is currently operated by Subic Bay International Terminal Corporation (SBITC) - a joint venture
company between International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI) and Royal Ports Services, Inc.
The Subic port competes with Batangas International Port as a substitute port to Manila.

Passenger sea terminal

In 2006, Global Terminal and Development, Inc. (GTDI) opened a P160-million world-class seaport
passenger terminal at the Alava Pier in Subic Bay to accommodate international cruise ships traveling
around the Asia-Pacific region. However, tourism in Subic Bay is still limited as the entertainment and
hospitality infrastructure has remained generally poor. In addition, direct sewage, floating debris and beach
cleanness are still a significant issue to further develop higher quality tourism and water sports in Subic.

There no direct regular ferry service between Manila and Subic Bay,
although this has been envisaged at many occasions. A ferry
(Oceanfast Ferries, Inc.) leaves Manila (Roxas Blvd) and sails to the
port of Orion in the province of Bataan from which a taxi or shuttle
must be taken for Olongapo.
Multi-purpose air terminal
Subic Bay International Airport it a gateway to Subic Bay Freeport, a
modern, international airport with a 10,000 sq m passenger terminal.
It is capable of handling 700 passengers at any given time and meets
international standards. There are only few regular flights to Subic
(Far Eastern Air Transport to Taiwan, Air Asia to Malaysia) other than
chartered flights (Dragonair to Hong Kong) and random flights by
local airlines.
Administration
The Port is operated and managed by the Subic Bay Metropolitan
Authority (SBMA) which is the operating and implementing arm of the
Government of the Philippines for the development of the 262 square
mile (670 square kilometer) area of Subic Bay Freeport (SBF) into a
self-sustaining tourism, industrial, commercial, financial, and
investment center to generate employment opportunities. For some
time, the tense relationships between the chairman and the
administrator CEO of SBMA gave a poor image of the port
management and sowed confusion and division in the SBMA which
needs to primarily focus on its economic mission.
Accessibility

The Subic port is situated 165 kilometers west from Manila and easily
accessible through the expressway by car, taxi or bus. The main bus
companies from Manila are Victory liner or Saulog transit / Genesis
(Olongapo is about 2-3 hour by Express bus). The Clark International
airport, situated North West of Manila, is only 86 km from Subic by the
North Luzon expressway. Some people stop-over at Angeles city to
catch the Express Bus to Subic (1 hour).
