Kaohsiung, April 29 (CNA) The Coast Guard Administration (CGA) on Thursday took delivery of a 4,000-ton vessel, its largest patrol boat to date, which is expected to significantly enhance its capability to protect Taiwan s waters.
The vessel, named the Chiayi, was handed over by the domestic shipbuilder CSBC Corp. at a ceremony in Kaohsiung, southern Taiwan.
At the ceremony, President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) said CSBC s delivery of the indigenous patrol ship once again exemplified Taiwan s ability to expand its defense capacity.
The addition of the Chiayi, now the largest CGA vessel, to the country s coast guard fleet will significantly boost its capability to carry out maritime patrols, crack down on illicit activities on the open seas, and conduct search and rescue missions, Tsai said.
