Dumaguete (PHDGT)

The city of Dumaguete is the capital of Oriental Negros and main distribution link for southern Negros Oriental to the other ports of the archipelago. Dumaguete has 3 subports. At Larena (09°15'N 123°35'E), Tandayag (09°30'N 123° 18'E) and Guihulngan (10°20'N 123°20'E). The principal cargoes handled by the port are basic commodities such as rice, corn, sugar, timber, copra and fertiliser as well as passengers.

Tropical.

Dumaguete is located on the SE side of Negros island.

LOA 120m, draught 6.0m.

Approx 2,300,000t of cargo, 40,000TEU, 17,000 vessels and 1,300,000 passengers handled annually.

Outer anchorage: On account of the depth no anchorage areas are recommended. Vessels usually anchor SE of Dumaguete Light situated at the root of No 1 Pier, in approximately 27.4m, coral sand, seaward of a line drawn from Dumaguete Point to the seaward extremity of No 1 Pier. Inshore of this line soundings decrease rapidly. Prohibited anchorage: Care should be taken not to anchor near the submarine cables extending from Calindagan village, 1nm S of Dumaguete port.

Approach and entry: Dumaguete should be approached on a W track with the light on No 1 Pier right ahead exercising caution against an eddy reported to occur 0.05nm off the pier which causes a S set away from the berth.

Compulsory for all vessels. At least 24 hours advance notice must be sent to Philippine Ports Authority-Dumaguete who in turn inform the Dumaguete Pilots' Association. Pilot boards approximately 0.5nm E of the port in position 09° 18.8'N 123°19.2'E and for San Carlos or Bais Bay in position 09°18.6'N 123° 20.6'E. The pilot launch, powered by a single 16hp engine, 8.5m long with a half-arch out-rigger, is used in conveying the pilots or other boarding teams to the vessel at the designated boarding station. With only this motorised banca, prompt and efficient pilotage services are usually hampered during inclement weather.

Dumaguete Light (09°19'N 123°19'E) is exhibited from a white concrete tower, 10m in height, standing at the root of No 1 Pier. A light is exhibited from a metal tower in the grounds of Silliman University, 0.2nm SW of the main light.

Berthing may not be possible during the monsoon season. Berthing is permitted during daylight hours (0600-1800hrs) only. Unberthing may take place at anytime.

Mean spring range 1.2m; mean neap range 0.6m.

Prevailing winds: SW'ly and NE'ly monsoon. The port is exposed to winds from the E quadrants. During the NE monsoon (Oct-Mar), it is frequently unsafe either to anchor or to go alongside the main pier. Landing at times is dangerous and impracticable.
