The Philippines’ Department of Transportation and the French company signed a contract in May 2025 for 40 units of 35-meter high-speed multi-role vessels worth $438 million (P25.8 billion) in a bid to enhance the PCG’s maritime presence across the archipelago. Twenty of the boats will be constructed locally, while the rest will be built in France.
They expect to add 50 ships over the next five years.
Very nice, I wonder if Santa would give me one if I ask polite?
Nice reach and speed seems to me, wasn’t able to find an interior plan, but the flying bridge will help with vision around the vessel and when doing SAR missions.
or when maneuvering in close proximity to Chinese cutters and fishing vessels.
These are 110 foot so same size as the Island class, but looks like the boat handling will be easier.
The post says they are getting 50 new cutters but they only identified 45. I wonder what the remaining five will be.
