Rough seas force Starlite Ferries to change Sibuyan docking port
Starlite Ferries has issued an urgent update for passengers traveling between Romblon and Sibuyan tomorrow, Monday, March 9, 2026. Due to adverse sea conditions, the vessel will divert its docking location to ensure passenger safety.
Revised Arrival Details
- Original Port: Ambulong Port
- New Arrival Port: Cajidiocan Port
- Scheduled Departure: 2:00 AM (Unchanged)
Operational Context
The decision to redirect to Cajidiocan Port—a sheltered alternative on the eastern side of Sibuyan Island—was made in response to heavy swells and unpredictable weather currently affecting Ambulong Port. This is a standard safety protocol to mitigate docking risks during rough tides.
Passenger Instructions
- Transport Coordination: Please notify all local transport providers or relatives of the change in arrival location to avoid delays.
