Philippine Navy To Build 3 Dry Dock Facilities In Cebu And Subic

Also part of DND's Congressional Hearing on Budget for FY2025, Defense Sec. Gilberto Teodoro confirmed that the Philippine Navy plans to build 3 dry dock facilities, with locations already identified in Cebu and Subic.
These dry docks will give the Philippine Navy more maintenance facilities where it could conduct Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) of its naval assets.
But he also confirmed that their requested budget for Additional Facilities may not be able to fund the construction of all 3 dry docks at the same time. The DND will have to see how much will be the final approved budget to determine how many dry docks can be funded next year.
The Agila Subic shipyard beside Naval Operating Base Subic has drydocks but could be too large as they were made to assemble modules to consteuct large commercial cargo vessels. The PN will only need enough and the size will be dependent on what their largeat ships would be in the future.
Consteuction work is also ongoing at the Naval Operating Base Mactan in Cebu, wherein the Philippine Navy might be able to build a small drydock in addition to other facilities.
