CAVITE CITY – Two more Fast Attack Interdiction Craft (FAIC) platforms for the Philippine Navy (PN) were delivered to the country from Israel on November 18 aboard the general cargo ship Koga Royal.
Said platforms are currently at the Commodore East Posadas Wharf in Cavite City to begin the mandatory enhancement, maintenance, and training prior to commissioning them as PG906 and PG907 under the Acero-class patrol vessels of the Fleet’s Littoral Combat Force.
Their delivery is part of the FAIC Acquisition Project of the Revised AFP Modernization Program Horizon 2 contracted with Israel Shipyards which include a total of nine platforms, and the transfer of technology to bolster the PN’s shipbuilding capability.
It marks another milestone in the Fleet’s resolve of reinforcing the country’s littoral/coastal defense with modern fast patrol combat vessels that have proven to be highly reliable in addressing current and emerging threats, and transnational crimes.
