About the Bacolod (BREDCO) – Iloilo crossing
This crossing connects the port of Bacolod (BREDCO) with Iloilo, a major hub for ferry routes to Luzon and Mindanao. From Iloilo, travellers can book onward sailings to Manila and Batangas in Luzon, or south to Cebu, Cagayan de Oro, and General Santos. The Bacolod to Iloilo route itself is operated jointly by OceanJet and SuperCat Fast Ferry Corporation across the Guimaras Strait, a distance of approximately 22 nautical miles.

Six sailings are scheduled every day of the week. The first ferry departs at 05:45, and the final departure is at 17:50. OceanJet and SuperCat Fast Ferry Corporation both operate fast ferries on this domestic service. The fastest crossing time is 1 hour, while some services take up to 1 hour and 15 minutes to complete the journey.
Fares and Booking
Passenger fares start from ₱250, though the price can vary depending on the season and the specific vessel.

The service connects Negros Occidental with Panay island.

Of the six listed departures, four belong to OceanJet under an August 2026 timetable. Two are recorded for SuperCat — but that company's published schedules page covers only Batangas–Calapan, Cebu–Ormoc and Cebu–Tagbilaran, and does not mention Negros at all. The Bacolod link was added to its network in 1997 and still ran at the end of 2019; whether it runs today is not confirmed by the operator's own site.
