Boats from Iloilo arrive at BREDCO, on Bacolod's reclaimed waterfront, with the city's other port, Banago, 3 km to the north. OceanJet's four departures are spaced between three hours and three hours forty minutes apart, so a missed boat means a long wait.
The 07:20 makes a day in Bacolod possible, but the last boat back leaves in mid-afternoon (Bacolod to Iloilo), earlier than the last one from this side.
