Navy Wants WPS Gas Platforms For Monitoring

Such observation posts will “further enhance our capability to protect our maritime interests in these strategic locations,” the Navy said.

Navy chief Vice Admiral Giovanni Carlo Bacordo visited the Nido and Matinloc platforms located in Malampaya, Northwest of Palawan on Saturday.

“This inspection intends to look at the viability of these retired gas platforms to be converted to observation posts for Recto Bank and Malampaya gas platform,” he said.

The Philippine Navy said the Department of Energy (DOE) last year ceased the over 40 years of production operations of the two gas fields.

The transfer of ownership of the now-retired platforms was offered by the DOE in several meetings of the National Task Force in the WPS.

Bacordo said it is the Department of National Defense (DND) that is bent on acquiring the platforms and expeditiously transferring them to the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP).
