During the Seatrade Maritime Crew Connect Global 2025, PHILCAMSAT proudly took part in key discussions that highlighted the importance of seafarer training, safety, and well-being.

On November 11, Chief Mark Philip “MAKOi” Laurilla, PHILCAMSAT Training Manager, joined the session “Seafarers Connect Episode 1: A Day in the Life of a Seafarer.” He shared practical insights on how rest hours and shore leave affect safety, performance, and overall job satisfaction at sea, emphasizing the need for better balance in the daily lives of seafarers.

The following day, Capt. Pol Winston Haboc, Vice President of PHILCAMSAT, contributed to the panel “Training Technology: Back to Basics,” which brought together training providers, crewing agencies, ship operators, and equipment manufacturers. Capt. Haboc highlighted the value of keeping core competencies strong while embracing new technology—helping ensure that today’s seafarers stay ready for the demands of modern maritime operations.

DECARBONIZATION AND THE MARITIME JUST TRANSITION

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to take part in the COP30 Brazil Virtual Ocean Pavilion together with Lloyd's Register and Lloyd’s Register Foundation — by submitting this video highlighting how decarbonization is already shaping the lives of seafarers around the world.

It was inspiring to see how LR is helping to build a safe and sustainable ocean economy by supporting seafarers, advancing safety, and driving the transition to zero-carbon fuels.

As some of you might know, I recently completed my degree in Master of Science in Engineering for Marine Professionals with my dissertation entitled: Comparative Study of Ammonia, Methanol, and Hydrogen as Alternative Fuels: Their Impact on Global Emissions and Safe Operation of Ships. I will be sharing a few of the findings in future videos.
