The following ports were in the path of the Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) as it passed through the Philippines. Hardest hit areas appear to be southern Samar and northern Leyte when the Typhoon was at its maximum strength. A tidal surge predicted at 2.3 m., but due to compression within the San Pedro Bay, possibly exceeded 5.0 m. A further tidal surge appears to have spread up the Sulu Sea on the back of the passing of the typhoon.

Rarely are books considered innovative, however, by utilising existing technologies to get updated port data onto vessels, 'The Guide' has proudly achieved that status thanks to the Professional Publishers Association

We would like to take this day as an opportuinity to not only thank all seafarers around the globe but to also thank some of our staff, who as ex-seafarers, play a vital role within the Shipping Guides team.
