The Philippine Navy (PN) has allocated the sum of
Php2,500,000 for the repairs of the air cooler of BRP Lake Caliraya (AF-81),
one of its oilers.
The Navy is slated to bid out the contract for the repair of
air cooler next month. Winning bidders must be able to complete the repairs
within 30 calendar days.
Bids received in excess of the contract shall be
automatically rejected.
The BRP Lake Caliraya is a single product replenishment
platform that has a depot-to-ship, ship-to-depot, and a ship-to-ship refueling
capabilities.
She was commissioned into PN service last May 23.
The BRP Lake Caliraya was one of the three largest vessels
of Philippine National Oil Corporation (PNOC) Fleet. She was built in Zhejiang
Zhongxing Shipyard in Taizhou Peoples Republic
of China
The sailing crew commissioned by the PNOC brought the ship
from Taizhou , China
to Manila
The ship was used by the PNOC in transporting mainly bunker
fuel to the different ports of the Philippines
On May 11, 2014, the ship was brought from its anchorage
area in Bataan to Keppel Shipyard, Bauan,
Batangas to undergo dry docking and other related repairs.
She was then brought to Naval Shipyard, NSPL, Cavite City
AF-81 was named after Lake
Caliraya , a beautiful lake located in
the province of Laguna
With her modern replenishment and refueling gear, she will
be central to facilitating and sustaining the operations of the fleet in the
operational areas.
AF-81 is commanded by Lt. Cmdr. Mamerto A Goleta and manned
by selected officers and men of Sealift Amphibious Force.
