The Maritime Industry Authority said it will include international labor best practices in the training of Filipino seafarers as part of the European Maritime Safety Agency‘s €4-million technical assistance.
Batalla said the €4-million technical assistance, which will be fully financed by the EU-Member States and be supervised by the EC Directorate General for Mobility and Transport and DG for International Partnerships , will cover the implementation of the Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers Convention.
The inclusion of MLC 2006, according to Batalla, aims to “expand the program, which aims not only to ensure compliance with the STCW Convention but also to share best practices relating to other international conventions concerning seafaring and the maritime industry in general.” Earlier this year, the EC announced that it continues to recognize the Philippines to be generally compliant with the STCW System. However, the European Commission still found “issues to be addressed” in the country’s maritime industry.
