20 April 2018
The Philippine Navy has received a donation of 41 inflatable rubber boats from the Joint US Military Assistance Group (JUSMAG).
These boats, which have been supplied by military equipment manufacturer Zodiac Milpro, were handed over on 13 April in a consignment that includes a 30 hp outboard motor for each vessel and other associated equipment.
Each boat measures 13.5 ft in length, has a hull weight of 205 lb, and can deliver a payload of 2028 lb, such as an eight-men troop detachment.
The inflatable boats will be distributed across the Philippine Navy’s fleet of surface vessels, said the service in a statement on 17 April.
