The Maritime Industry Authority (MARINA) has successfully hosted the PHILMARINE 2019: Continuous Quality and Productivity Improvement in the Shipbuilding and Ship Repair (SBSR) Sector on 18-20 June 2019.

Hundreds of private companies and government entities from the maritime, shipbuilding, offshore, oil and gas, naval defense, and their supporting industries participated in the three-day affair.

Government partners, on the other hand, exhibited defense equipment and the model ship of the hybrid trimaran project – an eco-friendly vessel that operates on wave energy, instead of fuel, among other significant presentations.

In the technical conference, MARINA - Shipyards Regulation Service (MARINA-SRS) provided updates on the Philippine shipbuilding and ship repair sector, emphasizing the establishment of a global maritime hub or the MIDP’s priority program #5 that aims to transform the country into a one-stop destination for all maritime concerns, including bunkering and transshipment.
