Filipino patrol vessel in the disputed South China Sea, breaking international rules and risking a collision.In these photos from the Philippine Coast Guard, China Coast Guard ship 3305 constrains the maneuvering space of BRP Malabrigo, which the PCG says is a violation of the 1972 International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea.
The PCG has referred the matter to the Department of Foreign Affairs which recently summoned China’s ambassador over a separate incident involving a Chinese navy ship “lingering” in the Philippines’ archipelagic waters. Duterte set aside the ruling in exchange for promises of trade and investment, which critics said have not materialized.
A China Coast Guard ship conducted a close distance maneuvering towards Philippine Coast Guard vessel BRP Malabrigo during its maritime patrol operations in Panatag Shoal or Bajo de Masinloc Abu said this was the fourth reported close distance maneuvering incident involving CCG vessels in the area.
