Subic Bay (PHSFS)

Port of Subic covers a total of 41ha. The port handles bulk fertilizers, bulk grain, general cargo, passenger / cruise ship, and container. The deep water harbour is sandwiched by the Zambales Mountain Range at the E and the Subic Bay at the W and opens to the South China Sea. It is NW of Bataan Peninsula and SW of Zambales Province. The former US Naval base can handle post Panamax container vessels of 4,900TEU at new terminal at Cubi Point, also bulk fertiliser, grain general cargoes and passenger/cruise ships. There is a 240ha Hanjin Shipbuilding yard on the W side of the bay. Ore Fabrica: A converted 284,000DWT tanker is anchored in the bay to carry out iron ore transhipments from Vale vessels arriving from Brazil. Smaller vessels will load from Ore Fabrica to discharge in Chinese ports.

The greater part of Subic Bay has been designated as an anchorage area for all classes of vessels. The holding ground is generally good, with the exception of Triboa Bay, where it is poor and consequently caution should be exercised if anchored there in bad weather. Designated anchorages: ..... Anchorage name: Depth (m) A 27.0 B 36.0 C, D 44.0 E 35.0 Ore Fabrica (FTS): Anchored in position 14°49.392'N 120°14.766'E for ship to ship transhipment of iron ore. Anchorage is prohibited in the channel.

When entering Subic Bay from a position approx 3nm S of Sueste Point (14°45'N 120°11'E), steer 015° through the entrance, passing midway between Grande Island and Macmay Point. The recommended track should be followed or proceed as requisite for allocated anchorage. Having passed between Grande Island and Macmany Point, alter course to 051° when the NW extremity of Grande Island bears 132°, distant 0.6nm. When on this course "A" Lightbuoy (black and whited stripes), moored 0.9nm NW of Cubi Point, will be found almost in line with Kalaklan Point Light Tower. Then pass close S of "A" Lightbuoy and steer E for the dock area. The harbour has a natural depth of 15m.
