About the Liloan – Sibulan crossing
Thirteen departures a day, 91 sailings a week, thirty minutes each — and a service that runs from 04:30 in the morning until 22:30 at night on a single calendar.
A half past four first sailing puts this among the earliest scheduled crossings anywhere in the Philippines. It exists for market traders and for workers who need to be on the far island before the day starts.
The route crosses the Tañon Strait between Cebu and Negros Oriental, landing at Sibulan a few kilometres north of Dumaguete — a university city of around 130,000 people. Maayo Shipping runs it alongside the Bato–Tampi crossing further south, and between them the two links carry most of the road traffic moving between the two islands.
