An integrated approach to international maritime development

The Philippines is the world's largest supplier of seafarers. Of the 1.6 million seafarers manning over 50,000 commercial shipping around the world, about 230,000 are Filipinos.

They are preferred by international shipping companies because of their discipline, dedication, cultural sensitivity, adaptability, willingness to go the extra mile, and of course, their ability to communicate in English. Naturally, we want to raise the stakes and take our role to a higher level.
