[Tony]

The U.S. will support Manila’s plan to build a new naval pier at a Philippine naval base in Subic Bay.

A 15-meter by 155-meter finger pier is set to be constructed at Naval Operating Base Subic, homeport of the Philippine Navy’s patrol vessels and frigates. According to the contract, the planning for the pier is under foreign military financing for the Armed Forces of the Philippines and will be in support of Naval Sea Systems Command’s International Fleet Support Program Office, known as PMS 326. Construction of the pier itself will be conducted by the Subic Drydock Corporation, a Philippine company.
