About This Seaport
Around 400 vessel calls and roughly 118,000 tonnes of cargo a year move through Virac, the port of entry and capital of Catanduanes island in the Philippines, set on Cabugao Bay. Its traditional freight base is agricultural — abaca (Manila hemp), copra and logs — handled as domestic breakbulk and RoRo rather than containers, of which the port has no dedicated facilities. The key link is the RoRo ferry to Tabaco in Albay province, about three and a half hours away, connecting Catanduanes to mainland Luzon. A permissible draught of roughly 6.8 m suits coastal traders, RoRo units and breakbulk, not deep-sea container lines. Containerised shipments are effectively routed overland: ferry pre-carriage to Tabaco, then road haulage, with Manila as the nearest full container port. For freight forwarders Virac is a dependable regional outlet for the island's farm produce and project cargo, but not a hub for international box traffic.
