MANILA (PNA) -- The country's second strategic sealift vessel (SSV), tentatively known as the BRP Davao Del Sur (LD-602), is almost completed and will start dock and sea trials by March.

This was confirmed by Philippine Navy (PN) spokesperson Capt. Lued Lincuna in a interview with the Philippine News Agency.

"LD-602 is more than 95 percent complete. By March (she) will have a series of dock and sea trials to test her systems, machineries and equipment," he added.

At the moment, PT PAL (Persero) shipbuilders in Surabaya, Indonesia are now installing navigational, deck and engineering equipment on the PN's second SSV.

The BRP Davao Del Sur was launched last Sept. 29. She is the sister ship of the BRP Tarlac (LD-601), currently the largest Filipino warship in commissioned.

BRP Tarlac was commissioned during short ceremonies at Pier 13, Manila South Harbor last June 1.

She arrived in the Philippines last May 14 after a five-day journey from PT PAL shipyard in Surabaya which started on May 9.

BRP Davao Del Sur is also a Makassar-class landing platform dock like her sister ship BRP Tarlac.

Its delivery to the Philippines, is tentatively scheduled this coming May, will complete the two-unit SSV procurement project with an approved budget contract of PHP4 billion sourced from the AFP Modernization Act Trust Fund.

Just like the BRP Tarlac, the PN's latest SSV will serve as a floating command-and-control ship especially in the conduct of humanitarian assistance and disaster response and will also serve as a military sealift and transport vessel.

The ship has an overall length of 120 meters,breadth of 21 meters, draft of five meters and can carry a payload of 2,800 tons.

She has a cruising speed of 13 knots and maximum speed of 16 knots and a minimum operating range of 7,500 nautical miles.

BRP Davao Del Sur can carry 500 troops, two rigid-hull inflatable boats, two landing craft units and three helicopters.

  4. Panjang 120.. Lebar 21.. Draft 5.
    I wonder, if somehow our navy interested to convert this design into destroyer,of course it requires some design change.. But im really sure that PT.PAL have the capability to do the job.
    Let see... What this thing can have inside.. perhaps this thing can carry 10 yakhont/rbs15mk3, 2 millenium gun, 3 goalkeeper/khastan, 40 aster30/s400 missiles in vls, 20 aster15/ vl-mica, a quad launch blackshark torpedo launcher on each side, a hanggar with dauphin and a rapid 76mm gun. And maybe.. A burger king and KFC counter.. :p
    Well.. Just a nice dream for me and teriffiying dream for other countries.

    1. Setuju ide gila ini . Hanya tinggal isi dengan senjata mematikan .Ngk masalah kecepatannya rendah toh dia bisa sembunyi di selaisela pulau kecil sambil melepaskan rudal . Kalau hanya untuk bertahan sangat oke tapi jika mau ofensif ke negara lain misal ke Aussie jelas tidak cocok ide ini .

    5. Just like i said, it will require some design change. Engine replacement for more power and higher speed..change on the mast design, front hull, and internal layout for all those vls. And about that dauphin.. What if you can carry 2 dauphin instead of one aw101? And those burgerking and kfc.. Well, that is a must have! Hahaha..
