PH assigns new ship to monitor Chinese vessel off Zambales
The Philippine Coast Guard relieves BRP Gabriela Silang with the 44-meter Multi Role and Response Vessel, BRP Suluan (MRRV-4406), to continue its monitoring of the Chinese Coast Guard vessel CCG-3304, which has been operating illegally off the coast of Zambales at an average distance of 60-70 nautical miles, says PCG spokesperson for the West Philippine Sea Jay Tarriela. As of Jan. 21, 2025, the vessel commonly referred to as the 'monster ship,' CCG-5901, is 113 nautical miles away from Zambales but remains within the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) at a distance of 19 nautical miles from Bajo de Masinloc, says Tarriela.
