    The OPV 270 is a versatile 84m offshore patrol vessel built by French shipbuilder OCEA for performing missions like maritime surveillance, anti-smuggling operations, and search and rescue. It has a diesel-electric propulsion system allowing it to cruise at 30 knots and achieve a range of 8,000nm while reducing emissions. OCEA delivered one OPV 270 to the Philippines Coast Guard in 2019, which was christened BRP Gabriela Silang and embarked on its first rescue operation in the Mediterranean Sea.

    OPV 270 Offshore Patrol Vessel

    The OPV 270 offshore patrol vessel was manufactured by French shipbuilding
    company OCEA. The boats are built in OCEA shipyard in Les Sables
    d’Olonne and are one of the largest aluminium OPVs in the world.

    The OPV 270 offshore patrol vessel was manufactured by French shipbuilding
    company OCEA. The boats are built in OCEA shipyard in Les Sables

    The versatile OPV 270 vessel is capable of performing multiple missions,


    including exclusive economic zone (EEZ) surveillance, smuggling and illegal
    immigration control, fight against piracy and trafficking, vessel control at sea,
    as well as search and rescue (SAR).

    It can also be used in diving operations, natural resources and blue economy
    protection, and pollution control missions.

    OPV 270 patrol boat development


    OPV 270 patrol boat is the outcome of 30 years of experience and permanent
    innovation of OCEA in the field of aluminium design and shipbuilding.

    The Philippines Coast Guard selected OCEA to deliver one OPV 270 offshore
    patrol vessel and four FPB 72 fast patrol boats in January 2018. The patrol
    boat was preferred by the Philippines Coast Guard and the Department of
    Transportation (DOTr) through an international competition.

    he OCEA OPV 270 boat for the Philippines Coast Guard was developed with
    the support from French State and the banks, including BNP Paribas and
    Crédit Agricole-LCL.

    The patrol boat was launched at OCEA’s site in Les Sables d’Olonne in July
    2019. OCEA conducted preliminary sea trials of OPV 270 in October 2019.
    The boat demonstrated high performance and fuel efficiency while reducing
    CO₂ emissions. The noise levels were cut down to 45dB in the wheelhouse
    and 70dB on the aft deck at full speed.

    The sea trials also helped to determine its sea-keeping ability, manoeuvrability
    and comfort onboard, which is an important factor for the 66 crew members
    and personnel during longer missions.
    The Philippines Coast Guard received the delivery of OCEA OPV 270 boat
    during a ceremony held in Saint-Nazaire, France, in December 2019.

    Christened as BRP Gabriela Silang, the patrol boat arrived in Manila in April
    2020. The patrol vessel embarked on its first operation to rescue Filipino
    nationals in the Mediterranean Sea.

    OPV 270 design and features


    The 84m-long patrol vessel features an aluminium hull and offers superior
    comfort and safety to the crew. It has the maximum capacity to accommodate
    40 crew members, 26 passengers and VIPs, as well as 35 survivors.

    The LYNCEA mission management system of the vessel integrates


    surveillance, detection and communication capabilities to offer enhanced
    situational awareness.

    The system gathers information from onboard sensors, including radar,


    optronic devices, sonar and electronic warfare system to detect and track
    targets.

    OPV 270 features a flight deck that can accommodate a 5t class helicopter
    and two telescopic cranes for supporting the launch and recovery of two 9.2m
    rigid-hull inflatable boats (RHIBs).

    The vessel also integrates active and passive stabilisation systems and can
    carry out missions for up to 35 days. It has the capacity to accommodate
    castaways, offenders, wounded personnel, divers and special forces.

    Propulsion and performance of OPV 270 patrol vessel


    The patrol boat is powered by two MTU 16V 4000 M73 diesel engines and
    two Leroy-Somer electric motors. The diesel-electric propulsion system
    improves fuel consumption while reducing CO₂ emissions and maintenance
    costs.

    The propulsion system enables the vessel to cruise at a maximum speed of


    30k and achieve a maximum range of 8,000nm at 12k speed. The vessel
    endurance is up to five weeks.

    Contractors involved
    Teignbridge is responsible for providing a propulsion system for the OPV 270
    offshore patrol vessel. It also designed and supplied the shaft line for the boat.
