The Philippines Builds a Gigantic and Technologically Superior Ship in the World

This means HHIC Philippines can now join and compete in ship projects for the Philippine Navy and Coast Guard Philippines, and benefit from better prices and hire Filipino builders as they will be built at local shipyards.

President Duterte expressed the expertise and hard work of Filipino workers to build CMA CGM Antoine de Saint Exupery, which he described as "a very powerful and high-tech ship."

The 20.600 TEU container vessel (twenty legs equivalent) - 400 meters long, 59 meters wide and 33 meters deep and named CMA CGM Antoine de Saint Exupery, after the French writer - is considered the largest commercial vessel in the world today, according to its builders, Hanjin Heavy Industries and Construction-Philippines (HHIC-Phil Inc.).

President Duterte described the vessel as a "gigantic and technologically superior ship," in a speech read out by the Chairman of the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA) and Administrator Wilma Eisma during the launch here.

Duterte said the launch of the vessel underscored "Hanjin's vital role in the maritime industry of our country."

"So I hope HHIC-Phil remains a pillar and partner in the growth of the Philippine maritime industry, especially now that our country is experiencing strong economic growth," said Duterte, who is in India for a regional summit with leaders from the Association of Asian Countries Southeast.

Mr. Duterte also asked Hanjin officials to protect the welfare of his workers.
