THE Philippine government has been looking to utilize the domestic shipping industry to pursue economic growth and develop wider global commerce. In October, the Maritime Industry Authority (Marina) launched a develop plan that it will implement for the next 10 years to provide better opportunities in the industry.

In partnership with the Philippines Ship Agents Association (PSAA), the Association of International Shipping Lines Inc. (AISL) and other maritime enterprises, Marina will work with these industry stakeholders to make sure that all shipping companies in the country comply with global rules and standards. This is in line with Marina’s vision for the Philippines to be recognized as a maritime hub, not only in supplying seafarers around the world, but also as a nation with a strong domestic shipping trade.
