The Iloilo Fish Port Complex (IFPC) is the center of fish
trading and marine products processing in Region VI. It is also
the largest among the five complexes (IFPC, ZFPC, SFPC, LFPC,
and CFPC) of the Nationwide Fishing Port Package I financed under
the Overseas Economic Cooperation Fund (OECF) of the government
of Japan. It is operated and managed by the Philippine Fisheries
Development Authority under the Department of Agriculture.
The port complex is the traditional landing site of bagnetters
and other fishing bancas in Iloilo City and nearby towns. This
strategic location has made the port the major fish source of
Iloilo City's major public markets and adjacent municipalities.
 Location
IFPC is situated in a 21 hectare reclaimed area at Barangay
Tanza, Iloilo City. The Port is located in East Visayan Region
bounded on the North by Capiz, East by Guimaras Strait, South
by Panay Gulf and West by Antique. It is served by extensive
concrete road network that links it to the major business centers
in the region and adjacent municipalities. Bus companies offer
regular long distance trips from the city to the provinces and
vice-versa.
The port can be reached through a 45 minute direct flight
from Manila or through an 18-hour trip via the fastest inter-island
vessel which regularly ferry passengers and cargoes to Iloilo
City. Within the islands, the port can be reached by Launches,
Out-board motor bancas and Hoover craft vessel plying inter-island
routes.
Banks, telecommunications, power and water supply in the area
adequately support the port's operations.
