I just realized that concerning the requirement to have the navy ships built in the Philippines, that requirement can probably be waived for bidders who already have shipyards in the Philippines. for example, Hanjin has a shipyard in subic and another one soon in misamis oriental. since those 2 hanjin shipyards already generate jobs for thousands of filipinos, then it doesn't matter if hanjin wants to build in philippine navy ships in korea unless one reason for the 'local requirement' is technology transfer in which case, that can either be overlooked if the local subsidiary of the foreign company is contributing a whole lot to the philippine economy or if we insist on the tech transfer also then we have to tell the bidders what form of tech transfer? training? hardware tech? software tech?, transfer of repair/overhaul technology? ,etc |

Check out the FBMA website, its slipway can only accommodate maximum of 80 meters hull length, 20 meters beam. Mr. Avila's suggestion could not be realized unless FBMA upgrades its facilities fast. But there are other shipyards in Cebu and Subic that could build ships the size of this proposed multi-purpose ship. |

Actually , Aboitiz is a part-owner of both FBMA for building catamaran ferrries and part owner also of Tsuneishi, Philippine subsidiary also in cebu, builder of the giant container ships. Aboitiz also owns WG@A , the biggest shipping line in the Philippines, operator of giant passenger and cargo RO-RO ships |

this article does say that the 26 RO-RO vessels will be built locally ---> "Every ship will have a capacity of 300 passengers. Suazo said NDC-Maritime Leasing is targeting medium-sized shipbuilding firms in Batangas and Cebu, among many others." sounds like FBMA and Keppel ?? Marina, NDC unit to build 26 Roro vessels By Jesse Edep June 3, 2008 , Business Mirror THE Maritime Industry Authority (Marina) and the National Development Co.-Maritime Leasing Corp., (NDC-Maritime Leasing) are set to build 26 ships as part of the government’s plan to improve the country’s nautical-highway system. The venture will start this year and will help in spur interisland farm trade. A direct offshoot of this project includes the improved distribution of basic goods, shorter travel time and lower transportation costs, and the promotion of domestic tourism. These 26 ships will add to the present roll-on, roll-off (Roro) ships, which “bridge” the country’s three main islands: Luzon, the Visayas and Mindanao, said administrator Vicente Suazo in an interview Monday. “From the convenience of shorter travel times offered to travelers with these additional vessels, spoilage of farm products could be lessened which, in turn, [would likely translate] to larger income for farmers,” Suazo said. NDC-Maritime Leasing is responsible for financing and securing shipyards that will make the 26 ships. Each ship will cost P70 million to P80 million, for roughly P2 billion. Every ship will have a capacity of 300 passengers. Suazo said NDC-Maritime Leasing is targeting medium-sized shipbuilding firms in Batangas and Cebu, among many others. If ships are ready, NDC-Maritime Leasing will rent them out to local operators, who, eventually, could own them depending on agreements. So far, the Roro route has been successful in the delivery of commodities to provinces and cities, aside from inducing tourism traffic nationwide. Improved ferry facilities also enhance the quality and stability of prices as shipments require minimal stevedoring services and are no longer off-loaded from cargo trucks. |

---------- That is KOREKEK! ---------- Like in the air war arena. MRFs without BVR capabilities are sitting ducks in mid-air. So much for the naval war arena. No missile capabilities is suicide. Even a "frogman" with enough explosives can sink an aircraft carrier Vessels without missile capabilties may be acceptable for the Coast Guard, naval patrol and special missions --- but not in a war scenario. :thumb: ---------- |

only one 50 cal gun and 2 7.62 gun? Should have at least gotten the M242 Bushmaster with electromechanical control and targetting system like that of the Jacinto-class |

---------- Yeah right... If they cannot equip PN vessels with missiles yet, at least give them decent guns for now. ---------- |
