Vessel Description

LCT 1098 is a Philippine-flagged landing craft tank operating in domestic inter-island trade. As an LCT-type vessel, it is designed for roll-on/roll-off cargo operations, capable of beaching directly onto shorelines to load and discharge vehicles, heavy equipment, and general cargo. This vessel class is widely utilized throughout the Philippine archipelago to serve communities and ports lacking conventional berthing infrastructure. The vessel operates under the regulatory oversight of the Maritime Industry Authority (MARINA) of the Philippines.
