Calapan handles trucks and passengers rather than ocean containers, serving as the busiest seaport on Mindoro Island in Oriental Mindoro province. Its core business is the roll-on/roll-off and ferry link across the Verde Island Passage to Batangas on Luzon, a crossing of about an hour by fastcraft or roughly three hours by RoRo. Operators including Montenegro Shipping Lines, Starlite Ferries, FastCat, OceanJet and SuperCat run frequent daily sailings carrying passengers, vehicles and accompanied freight along the national Nautical Highway. Goods therefore reach the island mostly as rolling cargo on trucks rather than as lift-on/lift-off boxes. The port offers no international container terminal or deep-sea customs gateway. For containerised, import/export or overseas cargo, nearby Batangas Port or Manila are the practical options.
