The largest coast guard vessel in the world, nicknamed ' The Monster ', was spotted off the coast of Zambales on Saturday, Jan. 4, triggering concerns anew of potential violation of international law and the sovereignty of the Philippines . The 12,000-ton, 165-meter CCG-5901 was detected at 54 nautical miles off the coast of Capones Island using the dark vessel detection (DVD) system acquired from Canada, according to Commodore Jay Tarriela, PCG spokesperson for West Philippine Sea (WPS).
PCG Commandant, Admiral Ronnie Gil Gavan ordered the deployment of multi-role response vessel BRP Cabra (MRRV-4409), a helicopter, and patrol aircraft PCG Caravan to verify the location of the vessel.
