THEPHDEFENSE's video: Philippine Coast Guard Modernization Updates 2020 - List of Patrol Vessels

It seems the Philippine Coast Guard is more advance than the Philippine Navy. Let us see which is better this coming year. In February this year, the Philippines and Japan sign a new contract for the two biggest vessels for the Philippine Coast Guard. Both vessels will be equipped with secured communication systems for Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) surveillance, helideck, and a hangar for helicopter operations, an underwater remotely operated vehicle for subsurface search and survey, and high-speed rubber boats. With a length of about 94 meters, the MRRVs will have a maximum speed of not less than 24 knots and an endurance of not less than 4,000 nautical miles. The two ships are expected to contribute significantly to improving the speed of response to maritime accidents and crimes on the high seas. OCEA shipyard was selected in 2014 for the supply of 5 boats at civil standards, with the associated logistic support services: 4 fast-patrol boats of 24 m type OCEA FPB 72 MKII and 1 offshore patrol vessel of 84 m type OCEA OPV 270. The two last Fast Patrol Boat type OCEA FPB 72 MKII “MALAMAWI” and “KALANGGAMAN” delivered to the Philippines Coast Guards in December 2018 and commissioned in January 2019. The patrol boats were acquired through an agreement between the Department of Transportation and French shipbuilder OCEA on September 9, 2014.
