Iloilo is located on the SE coast of Panay Island, opposite Guimaras Island.

LOA 293.18m, beam 40m, draught 12.7m, 72,370DWT.

Approx 3,800,000t of cargo, 150,000TEU, 15,000 vessels and 1,000,000 passengers handled annually.

The best anchorage for vessels that cannot enter the Iloilo River is NE of the river mouth, in a depth of 27.0m, sand, provided navigation is not hindered. There are no specified customs or quarantine anchorages. An anchorage area is established on the SE side of the strait between Bondulan Point and Dapdap Point, 4.5nm NE.

Navigational approach: The Iloilo Strait connects with Panay Gulf and Guimaras Strait which leads to the Visayan Sea. It has a width of approx 1.45km at its narrowest point and an average depth of 22.0m below MLLW. Its shorelines are very irregular it has two navigation entrances. Their approaches are narrowed by the Iguana Bank on the W and the Siete Pecados Island on the E of the N entrance and by Oton bank on the S entrance. Water depths over these banks average 3.7m MLLW. Entrance channels: Oton bank, an extensive shoal of soft muddy sand, lies in the middle of SW entrance to strait, extending approx 13km in length from a point approx 80m SW of the mouth of the Iloilo River. Vessels do not ordinarily attempt to cross it, but instead use the main channel between the bank and Guimaras Island. The N entrance is divided into 2 channels by the Iguana Bank and deep water for navigation is adequate on either side. Westward of the bank is a cluster of small rocky islets, called Siete Pecados where the lighthouse is located.
