Port of Puerto Princesa

Puerto Princesa provides a maritime link for Palawan’s residents, businesses and visitors. Domestic shipping connects the city with other island ports, carrying passengers alongside freight and giving the local economy an alternative to air transport for people and supplies.

The harbour lies within a bay on the island’s eastern side, with commercial piers beside the city. Berthing and passenger facilities support scheduled shipping, while cruise calls add a visitor function to a waterfront also used for everyday transport.

Services linking Manila, Coron and Puerto Princesa place the port within a wider domestic network. Freight carried through that network supplies local customers, while passenger arrivals support accommodation, excursions and other services ashore. The port therefore combines the practical needs of an island community with access for leisure travel.
