About ORCA Crew establishment in Philippines
Professional Crew Management from the World’s Leading Seafarer Nation
ORCA Crew Services operates a fully established branch office in Manila, Philippines – the global capital of maritime manpower – delivering compliant, efficient and highly competitive crew management services to shipowners and managers worldwide.
Manila – The Heart of Global Shipping
Manila, together with the greater Metro Manila area, is home to over 14 million people and serves as the undisputed centre of the Philippine maritime industry. The Port of Manila and nearby ports handle massive international container, bulk and passenger traffic, while the city hosts the headquarters of POEA (Philippine Overseas Employment Administration), MARINA (Maritime Industry Authority), dozens of manning agencies, and some of the world’s most advanced maritime training and assessment centres.
The Philippines – The Global Crew Supply Leader
With more than 400,000 active Filipino seafarers deployed on vessels flying almost every flag in the world, the Philippines remains the number-one supplier of officers and ratings globally. Filipino seafarers are universally respected for their English fluency, strong work ethic, service-oriented attitude, technical competence and exceptional adaptability. Graduates from the country’s numerous maritime academies consistently rank at the top of international licensing examinations.
The Philippines boasts an outstanding network of MARINA-accredited maritime academies and training centres that meet or exceed the highest STCW standards. Institutions such as the University of Cebu, PMMA (Philippine Merchant Marine Academy), MAAP, NYK-TDG Maritime Academy and John B. Lacson Foundation Maritime University are recognised worldwide for producing disciplined, highly skilled officers and engineers year after year.
