China coast guard’s “Monster Ship” is still in the vicinity of Escoda (Sabina) Shoal, appearing to shadow the BRP Teresa Magbanua of the Philippine Coast Guard, according to Sealight director and defense and maritime expert Ray Powell.
MANILA, Philippines — China coast guard’s “Monster Ship” is still in the vicinity of Escoda Shoal, appearing to shadow the BRP Teresa Magbanua of the Philippine Coast Guard , according to Sealight director and defense and maritime expert Ray Powell.
Several other Chinese boats and maritime militia vessels appeared to be in blocking position near the mouth of the shoal, which is well within the exclusive economic zone of the Philippines. Maintaining presence in Escoda Shoal should send a message to the country’s neighbors “that we have maritime domain awareness, not only through the presence of our ships, coast guard, navy or BFAR but to the other modes of monitoring, this could be space-based or through aerial surveillance flights.”
