Operated as a dedicated coal facility for the adjacent Masinloc power station, this jetty in Zambales serves a single purpose: feeding fuel to one of Luzon's largest thermal plants. Imported coal is discharged at an offshore pier and carried roughly one kilometre by conveyor to stockyards holding some 270,000 tonnes, supplying generating units rated above 1,000 MW under Masinloc Power Partners (SMC Global Power). The site handles no containers, general cargo or customs-cleared commercial freight, and its planned jetty extension has drawn local environmental opposition around Oyon Bay. For containerised shipments into Central Luzon, the nearby Subic Bay Freeport and the Port of Manila are the practical commercial options. Masinloc should be read by shippers as energy infrastructure, not a trade port.
