technical courses to its shipping clients and maritime government agencies like the Maritime Industry
Authority, Philippine Coast Guard and the Philippine Navy free-of-charge as part of its continuing
advocacy to support the country’s maritime safety agenda. Topics ranges from ship design, ship
construction, ship preservation and practice of the profession.
