The Port of Sual is a strategic maritime gateway located in the municipality of Sual, Pangasinan.

It is renowned for its deep-water harbor, which historically allowed for the docking of large international galleons and currently supports major industrial and commercial activities.

The port area primarily consists of three distinct components:

  • Sual Coal-Fired Power Plant Port:
    • Established in 2012 close to the Sual Power Station, the Philippines’ largest coal-powered plant. This is one of the country’s most critical coal discharge ports, capable of handling bulk carriers with a draft of up to 13.3 meters.
  • PFDA Sual Fish Port:
    • Managed by the Philippine Fisheries Development Authority (PFDA), this facility serves the fishery sector in northwestern Luzon, providing essential docking and storage for local fishing vessels.
  • Historical International Port:
    • Sual was officially opened to foreign commerce on September 29, 1855, by Royal Order, making it one of the first ports outside Manila to engage in international trade.
Key Features and Services
