Below is video coverage of the EURONAVAL 2022 trade show, done by Naval News. Below each video is text that accomanied the video on its Youtube page. The highlight for me, was the new 95 meter (312 foot) S. Korean Hundai OPV design, six of which are to be built for the Philippine Navy, discussed in the fourth video.

K. S. Woo, Senior Vice President of marketing, Naval & Sepcial Ship Business Unit, introduced HHI as the #1 shipbuilder in the world. We then focused on two ongoing programs for the Philippine Navy:
- – HDP-2200 OPV
- – HDF-3100 Corvette
Hyundai Heavy Industries signed a contract with the Philippine Department of National Defense on June 27, 2022 for six new 2,400 ton Offshore Patrol Vessels (OPV). In December 2021, HHI announced it won an order to build two 3,200 ton class corvettes for the Philippine Navy.
Hi Chuck,
The Philippine OPV acquisition project is a bit confusing to me. At first I thought Austal had secured the contract back in…2018,building them at Cebu? But then this year this headline appeared, though the actual article talks about Austal “cleared a hurdle”, and now, South Korea is providing OPV’s to PH

@Andrew, the Philippines builds a lot of ships, but they don’t build warships. I think in the long term they would have been better off, if they had built locally, but apparently Austal priced themselves out of the game, and the Philippine Navy seems happy with their S. Korean made light frigates. Meanwhile the Philippine CG got Cutters on very favorable terms from Japan, so don’t see much growth in Philippine military vessel construction.
