MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) received one of two 97-meter multi-role response vessels (MRRVs) in Port Area, Manila, on Saturday.

According to a news release, the MRRV-9701 has a maximum speed of not less than 24 knots, a range of not less than 4,000 nautical miles, and is capable of conducting persistent maritime patrols.
