3 BRAND-NEW PHILIPPINE-MADE PATROL VESSELS FOR THE PHILIPPINE COAST GUARD?
Показать описание
Explore the latest developments in maritime security with the Philippine Coast Guard's strategic move to acquire three cutting-edge Offshore Patrol Vessels (OPVs) crafted by the renowned Cebu-based Australian company, Austal. Bolstered by an additional P2.8 billion injected into their budget, courtesy of Senate President Miguel Zubiri and fellow senators, the PCG is set to reinforce its fleet beyond the already approved 2024 budget.
MaxDefense Philippines reveals that P2.5 billion will be promptly allocated as the initial payment for these state-of-the-art vessels, marking a significant leap in the country's maritime capabilities. Austal, leveraging its facility in Balamban, Cebu, is poised to expedite the project, with the first vessel anticipated to be delivered within 18 months post the issuance of the Notice to Proceed.
Intriguingly, Austal is expected to draw upon its existing 83-meter Offshore Patrol Vessel proposal, previously earmarked for the Philippine Navy. Following a setback in negotiations with the Navy, Austal is revisiting the design, now coined as the Offshore Patrol 83. MaxDefense Philippines speculates that Austal will refine the design by tailoring it to Coast Guard specifications, omitting Navy-centric weaponry and sensors while incorporating advanced Coast Guard-specific systems.
With an estimated total project cost of less than P17 billion, MaxDefense Philippines is confident that the allocated P2.5 billion will serve as a substantial 15% downpayment for the procurement of all three vessels. Stay tuned for a monumental stride in Philippine maritime defense as the Coast Guard and Austal collaborate to fortify the nation's security on the seas.
