To ensure safe, reliable, and continuous maritime connectivity, Lite Ferries has announced temporary operational adjustments on its Cebu–Tubigon–Cebu route beginning August 3.
To maintain uninterrupted passenger and cargo transport while Lite Cat 1 (LC1) undergoes its scheduled drydock maintenance, vessel Lite Ferry 17 (LF17) will temporarily step in to serve the route.
While LF17 will largely adopt LC1’s standard operational timetable, select early-morning sailings will be suspended during this maintenance period.
Suspended daily sailings:
-
1:00 AM – Tubigon to Cebu
-
4:00 AM – Cebu to Tubigon
Under the temporary arrangement, LF17 will operate three round trips daily. The final departure of the day will leave Cebu for Tubigon at 10:00 PM, where the vessel will remain docked overnight at Tubigon Port before resuming normal morning operations the following day.
Temporary daily sailing schedule:
| Departure Point | Daily Departure Times |
| Cebu to Tubigon | 10:00 AM • 4:00 PM • 10:00 PM |
| Tubigon to Cebu | 7:00 AM • 1:00 PM • 7:00 PM |
“Routine drydocking is an essential part of our commitment to maritime safety, vessel efficiency, and overall service quality,” the company stated. “We appreciate the patience and understanding of our passengers and commercial clients during this brief transition, and we remain dedicated to providing a smooth travel experience throughout this maintenance period.”
Travelers are encouraged to plan their journeys according to the temporary schedule. For ticket bookings, real-time updates, and customer inquiries, passengers may visit official Lite Ferries ticketing outlets or reach out via the company’s official social media channels.
