There are 5 industrial enterprises that have that have these airstrips for their usage. These are the Bataan Pulp and Paper Mills, Inc. in Samal; Bataan Export Processing Zone and Landoil Multinational Village both in the town of Mariveles and Petrophil in Limay.
Travel by sea-Bataan waters are navigable by both inter-island and international vessels to and from the province. Passenger vessels consist of a ferry boat with three trips plying to and from Mariveles and Manila and EPZA 1 which ferry EPZA quests. Docking point is at BASECO, Port of Mariveles.
