Manila Harbour is situated at the East end of Manila Bay, at the mouth of Pasig River. Manila is the port for the Greater Manila Area, which includes Manila City – the capital of Philippines – and it is the major port of the country.

Entering the port of Manila

Our vessel called two terminals in the Port of Manila – one in the North and one in the South – with an average of 24 hours alongside in the North and 15 hours in the South.

Manila North Terminal, also called Manila International Container Terminal, includes 5 berths with a total length of 1300 m, the largest of which is 300m.

Here, our vessel always came starboard side along side.

At departure, a swing to starboard was performed – with the help of two tugs – in order to exit the port basin.

In the port of Manila South, our vessel came port side alongside and a swing to starboard was performed upon departure.
