Our Mission
Our mission is simple:
To provide Filipino seafarers with useful, understandable, and practical maritime information that can help them make better-informed career decisions.

Independent Information Resource
Philippine Maritime Agency is an independent website and is not a government agency, recruitment agency, manning agency, shipping company, or maritime training institution.
We are not affiliated with or officially connected to the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW), Maritime Industry Authority (MARINA), or any other Philippine government agency, unless a specific article clearly states otherwise.
Information about government agencies, companies, manning agencies, employers, training institutions, and other organizations is provided for informational purposes.
Readers should always verify important information directly with the appropriate government authority, licensed agency, employer, or organization before making decisions.
Our Approach to Information
We aim to publish content that is:
Useful — We focus on information that can help readers understand real-world maritime career questions.
Practical — Whenever possible, we explain complicated requirements and processes in a simple and easy-to-understand way.
Informative — Our articles cover different aspects of maritime careers, employment, training, and life at sea.
Responsible — We encourage readers to verify important information with official or authorized sources, especially when dealing with employment, certification, recruitment, and financial matters.
Because regulations, requirements, job vacancies, salaries, and company information can change, readers should always check the latest information before taking action.
For Filipino Seafarers
The Philippines has a long history of providing seafarers to the international maritime industry.
We believe that access to clear and useful information can help aspiring and experienced seafarers better understand their career options and prepare for opportunities at sea.
Through Philippine Maritime Agency, we hope to create a helpful online resource where Filipino seafarers can learn, prepare, and make more informed decisions about their maritime careers.
