Fishing boats at anchor and coasters discharging cement set the scene at Borongan, a small open-roadstead port on the south-east coast of Samar in the Philippines. Served by a single finger pier, this national port takes medium-draft vessels and handles cement from Cebu, rice, copra and general cargo, with bunkering available on request. It carries no container liner or international traffic, so its usefulness is limited to regional supply runs for Borongan City and its hinterland. Forwarders with containers or international shipments rely on Tacloban, roughly 180 km to the west, or the larger ports of Cebu.
