KHO Shipping adjusts March departure times of MV Pio V. Corpus Star due to low tide

KHO Shipping Lines Incorporated has issued an announcement regarding the departure schedule of MV Pio V. Corpus Star which operates on the Cebu (Pier 5) – Calbayog Port, Samar route. The announcement came as a result of the low tide condition of Calbayog Port in the province of Samar.

According to the official notice issued by the company on February 23, 2026, the company has announced that the MV Pio V. Corpus Star will depart earlier than its usual departure schedule on selected dates in March. The announcement was made in a bid to ensure that the vessel safely navigates and arrives at Calbayog Port.

The following trips will now depart at 3:00 PM (1500H):

• March 2, 2026
• March 4, 2026
• March 16, 2026
• March 18, 2026
• March 30, 2026

Passengers with bookings on these dates are advised to take note of the earlier departure time to avoid missing their trip. KHO Shipping Lines highly recommends that passengers arrive at the port at least two to three hours prior to departure to give sufficient time for ticket validation, processing of luggage, and boarding.

Low tide may also affect the movement of ships, especially in ports where the depth of the water is a major factor in ensuring safe entry and docking of ships. By making the necessary adjustments ahead of time, the company hopes to avoid delays and ensure the safety of passengers along the way.

KHO Shipping Lines apologized for any inconvenience the new schedule may bring to passengers. The management said that the necessary adjustment is needed to ensure smooth sailing and avoid possible dangers that may come with the change in tides at the destination port.

Passengers are advised to monitor announcements from KHO Shipping Lines for any further adjustments or advisories. Those with inquiries about their bookings may coordinate with the ticketing offices of the company for clarification.

By making these schedule adjustments ahead of time, KHO Shipping Lines continues to prioritize safe and efficient sea travel for its passengers.
