About This Seaport

Operated by the Philippine Ports Authority alongside local carriers such as the Batanes Multi-Purpose Cooperative, Basco (PH BSO) is the maritime lifeline of the remote Batanes group. Sitting on Baluarte Bay on Batan Island, it mainly handles supply cargo and RoRo services from Metro Manila and feeder links to neighbouring Itbayat. No international container or liner traffic is processed here; this is a feeder port for essential goods rather than a foreign-trade gateway. For containerised imports and exports, forwarders rely on the ports of Manila, with Salomague or Currimao in Ilocos as the nearest mainland alternatives.
