PORT of DEPARTURE: Talao-Talao Port, Dalahican, Lucena PORT OF ARRIVAL: Balanacan Port, Mogpog, Marinduque Schedules of Montenegro Shipping: Daily 400am (Roro) 1000am (Fastcraft) and 1200 Noon (Roro) Schedules of Viva Shipping: Daily 1030am (Roro) 1030pm (Roro)
Fees to Pay: Parking P23.00, Assesment Fee (Depends on the Vehicle), Arrastre (Depends on the Vehicle), Terminal Fee P30.00 and Passenger Ticket
Our Roro Experience to Marinduque
Taking the Roro to Marinduque may seem hard but it is actually easy (probably depending on the season, and Holy Week is a different matter).
Most of the articles i read in the internet said to be at the Port 2-4 hours before departure and since Montenegro’s schedule was at 12 we left our house at 6am so we would arrive in Lucena around 9-10. But for Low Seasons even just an hour before or 30 minutes will do.
We arrived at Lucena a little bit past 9am. We proceeded to the Talao Talao Port to check if there were a lot of vehicles there or if a reservation was needed (in Calapan you need to reserve and pay a fee).
When we arrived at the Port we were asked to pay 23 for Parking. A Star Horse personnel approached us and asked if we would be taking the Roro. Their Roro was scheduled at 1030 so we just took that instead of waiting for Montenegro.
The Star Horse staff asked for the OR/CR and 250 (for assesment and other fees) and told us to line up at the parking lot where it says Roro. Do not lose the Assesment Stub as they will get the stub when you exit the port.
In a few minutes another Star Horse staff approached us and signalled us to go to the nearby gate. At the gate a Port staff asked payment for terminal fee. After paying the Terminal fee (Free for the first 2 passengers and P30 for each additional passenger) we went to the area just outside the Roro where another Star Horse staff asked us to pay P1872 (fee for the vehicle or arrastre). A vehicle has 2 free passengers (You will be given a Blue Boarding Ticket which they will collect inside the RORO for the 2 FREE Passengers) and each additional passenger is P221 (which will be collected inside the Roro)
After paying arrastre we were then asked to board the vehicle inside the Roro.
PORT of DEPARTURE: Balanacan Port, Mogpog, Marinduque PORT of ARRIVAL: Talao Talao Port, Dalahican, Lucena City Schedules of Montenegro Shipping: Daily 730am (Fastcraft) 800am (Roro) 4oopm (Roro) Schedules of Viva Shipping: Daily 630am (Roro) 1000am (Roro) 630pm (Roro)Fees to Pay: Assesment Fee (Depends on the Vehicle), Arrastre (Depends on the Vehicle), Terminal Fee P22.00 and Passenger Ticket
Our planned schedule was the 8am Montenegro RORO but when we arrived at Balanacan around 610am the Roro of Star Horse was still there and the Staff of Star Horse was asking us if we will be boarding their RORO. We agreed instead of waiting for the 8am schedule of Montenegro.
While inside the staff of Star Horse asked us P200 for the assessment fee (it is actually P129) and the OR/CR. The Staff also asked us if we still had the Receipt from Lucena as they will base the ARRASTRE from that. An employee of the Port charged us P22 for each additional passenger.
After a few minutes we were signaled to board the car inside the RORO. While parked, a Staff of Star Horse billed us for the Arrastre and gave us 2 Boarding Tickets.
While inside also, they charged for the additional passengers and collected the blue boarding ticket.
The RORO left around 640am. If we had left the hotel late we would still be waiting for the 800am RORO.

Hi. How much na po ngauj ang fare from lucena to marinduque port. RoRo.
Avanza po ang car. Kahit estimate lng. Thanks.
March 14, 2016 at 9:30 am
1800 binayad ko para sa Ford Everest. Mas mura cguro bayad ng Avanza since mas maigsi siya. Di siguro nagbabago pa rates nila
March 24, 2016 at 3:00 pm
dapat bang meron clearance yong car before isakay sa roro?
March 24, 2016 at 9:11 pm
Ano pong clearance. Basta lang may OR/CR. Kung bago sasakyan dalhin niyo lang yung invoice/recibo galing sa casa.
March 30, 2016 at 5:42 pm
They charged us P 2340 from Balanacan to Dalahican (March 27,2016) . But from Dalahican they charged us 1872.

May 6, 2016 at 12:00 am
I just want to ask kung yung 1872 po na babayaran sa Roro for vehicle eh balikan na or one way lang po? Thank you.
May 17, 2016 at 11:01 pm
One way lang yun. Ford Everest yun dala namin nun. Kung mas maigsi yung auto mo mas mura babayaran mo
May 17, 2016 at 10:02 pm
magkano po ba fare ng hi-ace na van po sa roro?tnx
May 17, 2016 at 11:01 pm
Di cguro nagkakalayo dun sa 1872 na binayaran namin.
July 14, 2016 at 10:36 pm
Sir possible ba iwan yung car sa port for a night? Di na namin sana i roro yung saksakyan kasi weekend lang naman kami
July 15, 2016 at 8:58 am
Sa tingin ko pwede. Sa loob naman ng port. Bigyan niyo na lang guard para bantayan car niyo. Mahal din kasi dalhin sasakyan. Di nga lang kayo makaka ikot pag alanganing oras.
October 4, 2016 at 10:28 am

hi, i am goin to cebu with my car via roro ferry begin from lucena city port, what next port until i reach cebu.
October 29, 2016 at 12:10 pm
Hi, i am not aware of route from lucena going to Cebu. What i know is that from Batangas you go to Mindoro. And from there go to Bulalacao or Roxas Port. Then take Roro going to Caticlan. Then from Caticlan drive to Iloilo then to Negros. From Negros go to Negros Oriental then board Roro going to Cebu.

Hello! Does anyone know of a ferry linking mindoro and marinduque? Thanks for the big help.
November 3, 2016 at 8:10 am
Hi, i am not aware of any Ferry linking Mindoro to Marinduque. You can either go to San Juan Batangas or Lucena to get to Marinduque.
