As part of the program to modernize the Philippine Navy's sealift and amphibious capabilities, and replace legacy ships, the service has requested for support and funding to acquire two additional Strategic Sealift Vessels (SSV). This is among the Horizon 2 phase Priority Projects of the Revised AFP Modernization Program.
Approved Budget for the Contract is 5.56 billion pesos for 2 ships. This is actually higher than the budget allocated for the first two SSVs under Horizon 1 phase (which eventually won by PT PAL and the resulting ships became the Tarlac-class). But, this might be to compensate for the drop in dollar value of the Philippine pesos while also allowing the inflation, price increase, and improvements on the SSV requirement.
