Notice To Mariners: 18th October 2010, Navigational Hazard

There currently exist power cables stretching across the North Channel / Batangas Channel into the typhoon shelter of Puerto Galera Harbour. The East end of the power cables are located in Barangay Dalaruan while the West end of the power cables are situated on Medio Island. The vertical clearance beneath is estimated to be 40 feet above high water. The power cables are a navigational hazard to tall vessels. The power cables are not lit and have no obvious markings or warning signs. We strongly recommend that all tall vessels entering and exiting Puerto Galera Typhoon Shelter do so via the West Channel / Manila Channel until further notice. (information udated August 2024)
