The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) will be constructing a new lighthouse in the Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park (TRNP). The delivery schedule for the PCG lighthouse is 360 calendar days.

The lighthouse is targeted for construction within the year on the South Atoll of the marine natural park. It shall also serve as its protection against possible ship groundings.

“Now that we have been designated by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) as a Particularly Sensitive Sea Area (PSSA), we must have adequate aids to navigation equipment, so we welcome this recent development,” TRNP Protected Area Superintendent (PASu) Angelique Songco said.

With an approved budget of over PhP 150 million, the pre-bid conference will be held on 31-January-2019 at the Coast Guard Procurement Service (CGPS) headquarters in Manila. The bid opening is set to take place on 14-February-2019.
