The Philippine Fleet (PF) welcomes the delivery of two additional Fast Attack Interdiction Craft (FAIC) platforms at Pier 15 of South Harbor, Manila.

RAdm Renato P David, PF Commander said these two FAICs, to be designated with bow numbers PG908 and PG909, will be the seventh and the eight fast boats under the Acero-class patrol vessels.

Similar with their predecessors, the newly delivered crafts are designed for high-speed operations, featuring advanced missile systems and sophisticated onboard technology, which enhances the Philippine Navy’s capability to conduct rapid and effective maritime interdiction operations.

“The arrival of these vessels underscores the continued modernization of the Philippine Navy and represents a crucial step toward bolstering the Self-Reliant Defense Posture (SRDP) program of the country,” David said.
