}} | BRP Boracay (2401) is the lead ship of four vessels built by OCEA of France for the Philippine Coast Guard based on the Ocea FPB 72 design.Construction, delivery and commissioningBRP Boracay was launched in April 2018 at the OCEA site in Les Sables d’Olonne, France[ and was commissioned into service in Manila, Philippines in October 2018 along with its sister ship, the BRP Panglao (2402).[3]] Operational historyIn early October 2018, BRP Boracay made its first deployment in the island it was named after, Boracay in the province of Aklan, Western Visayas.[1] In late October 2018, the ship made its first rescue when it along with {{BRP|Cape Engaño|MRRV-4411|6}} assisted in the transfer of passengers of the M/V Super Shuttle 18 which was stranded off the port of Malay, Aklan due to engine trouble. All of the 142 passengers of M/V Super Shuttle 18 were later safely brought to the Caticlan Jetty Port.[2] In November 2018, BRP Boracay participated in a joint Anti-Piracy Drill with the Japan Coast Guard ship Echigo (PLH-08) and PCG ships the BRP Suluan (MRRV-4406) and BRP Panglao (2402). The drill was held at the Manila Bay and featured the mock hijacking of a vessel and arrest of the perpetrators aboard the ship.[6] In January 2019, the ship together with the BRP Panglao (2402) was positioned at the Manila Baywalk to serve as Command Post and alternate Medical Evacuation Post in case of Emergencies during the annual Traslación Procession of the Black Nazarene image.[3] References1. ^[https://news.mb.com.ph/2018/10/26/boracay-reopens-under-new-rules/ "Boracay Reopens under New Rules"]
