Geography
Subic
Bay Freeport (SBF) is located southwest of the Luzon Island
in the Philippines. The harbor is sandwiched by the Zambales
Mountain Range at the east and the Subic Bay at the west
and opens up to the South China Sea. It is northwest of
the Bataan Peninsula and southwest of the Zambales Province.
SBF is 110 kilometers north of Manila. Manila Bay and
the Bataan Peninsula separate SBF from Manila. The mountain
ranges around the Subic Bay area and the deep natural
harbor provide excellent and protected anchorage. In addition,
these features make SBF naturally sheltered from typhoons
as well as from the effects of the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo.
