THE Philippines is now gunning to remain on the International Maritime Organization’s whitelist of countries that are compliant with global maritime practices.
The Philippines is included on the IMO whitelist, albeit on a conditional basis due to its incomplete submission of its compliance report in 2017. Being included on the whitelist implies that the Philippines is deemed compliant with the STCW, which lists the standards for seafaring personnel. Hence, being on the list places a huge advantage for Filipino seafarers, as this reflects that they underwent strict training and education.
Moving forward, Fabia said the country will leverage the technical assistance of the EC to further improve maritime education and training to keep its number one position as the leading supplier of maritime manpower in the world.
