Engineering:Ilocos Norte-class patrol boat
Lua error in Module:Infobox_ship at line 147: attempt to call upvalue 'ship_name_format' (a nil value). The Ilocos Norte-class patrol boat is a series of four vessels in active service of the Philippine Coast Guard. Their hull number prefix "SARV" means they are classified as "search and rescue vessels". Currently Non operational.[1][2]
Design and construction
The Ilocos Norte class is a 35-metre (115 ft), all-aluminium patrol boat designed by Tenix Shipbuilding in Australia, based on the company's Pacific-class patrol boat.[3] Four vessels were delivered to the Philippine Coast Guard in December 2001.[3] An option for a follow on order of ten more ships was offered by Tenix, but not used by the Philippine Coast Guard.[3]
Tenix reused the Ilocos Norte design in 2008 for the New South Wales Police Force patrol vessel Nemesis; the largest police-operated patrol boat in the Southern Hermisphere.[4]
Operational history
On December 24, 2009, BRP Nueva Vizcaya (SARV 3502), along with BRP Pampanga (SARV 003)and MT Tug Habaga (TB-271), was deployed to Cavite to conduct search and rescue operations when MV 'Catalyn B, a wooden hull motorized vessel collided with the fishing vessel FV Anatalia and sank 2.8 nautical miles (5.2 km; 3.2 mi) northwest of Limbones Island at 2:25 a.m. Thursday.[5]
On April 8, 2013, BRP Romblon (SARV 3503) was deployed when a Chinese fishing vessel ran aground in Tubbataha Reef.[6] Romblon assisted with removing the ship's cargo and fuel.[7]
Publicly available Automated Identification System (AIS) tracking data shows that only one of the vessels, BRP Romblon, has left its home port in the year 2024.
