SOUTH KOREA'S HHI SHOWCASES ITS PROPOSED PATROL VESSEL FOR THE PHILIPPINE COAST GUARD
Incheon, South Korea - At the Korean Ocean Expo (KOE) 2024, HD Hyundai Heavy Industries (HD HHI) presented an intriguing display that caught the attention of maritime and defense enthusiasts alike. Among the highlights was a scale model of the HDP-2200 patrol vessel, showcased in the colors of the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG). This display signifies HD HHI's intention to offer this versatile design to meet international Offshore Patrol Vessel (OPV) requirements.
The HDP-2200 design is already recognized for its selection by the Philippine Navy for their OPV needs, albeit in a more heavily armed configuration tailored for low to medium intensity naval operations. This dual-use potential underscores the adaptability and robust nature of the HDP-2200 platform, making it a compelling option for various maritime security roles.
Philippine Coast Guard Modernization and Expansion
The display comes at a crucial time as the Philippine Coast Guard is undergoing significant modernization and expansion efforts. The PCG plans to acquire new Offshore Patrol Vessels and Ocean-going Multirole Response Vessels to enhance its capabilities. Given HD HHI's proven track record, it is conceivable that the HDP-2200 design is being considered to fulfill these requirements.
Proven Track Record and Rapid Construction
HD HHI's reputation for fast construction and delivery is well established. A testament to this efficiency is the recent construction of two HDC-3200 frigates for the Philippine Navy. Remarkably, these frigates progressed from the first steel cutting to launching in less than a year. Such rapid turnaround times provide a significant advantage in meeting urgent maritime security needs.
