Understanding the Maritime Industry in the Philippines
The Philippines is one of the world’s largest suppliers of seafarers, with thousands of Filipinos working on ships across the globe. This is in part due to the agreements that the Philippines Overseas Employment Agency (POEA) has with many shipowners and operators worldwide; making the Philippines a major provider of crewmembers to shipping companies and cruise companies headquartered in the United States or elsewhere, with ships regularly calling on U.S. ports. These dedicated individuals play a crucial role in the global maritime industry, yet they often face significant risks and challenges. From harsh working conditions to inadequate medical care, seafarers are vulnerable to a range of issues that can impact their health, safety, and livelihoods.
