T
he roadmapping seminar was conducted
in line with proactive review policy of
MARINA Administrator Dr. Maximo
Q. Mejia Jr. PhD, for the deve lopment
of domestic shipbuilding and repair,
considering the strategic location of
maritime Philippines in the region. Carrying the
theme “Towards a Sustainable PH SBSR Industry”,
participants engaged in healthy discussions and
interesting interactions that put into green light the
rights and responsibility of both the government
and owners and operators of shipyards, and client
shipping firms.
A total view of the three-day meet, showed it was
as an effective venue for exchange of views among
14
participating stakeholders, that led to the conduct of
policy review and road mapping in shipbuilding and
repair, and economics and environmental impact on
shipping, and investment policy. The event turned
out to be very interesting as enthusiastic stakeholders
took turns in no-holds-barred discussion and
interactions- perhaps a milestone in Philippine
shipping, said MARINA Regional Director Nannette
V. Dinopol (R-7), regional directors Emmanuel
Carpio (Rs 10 and 13), Arnie Santiago (R-9), Atty.
Manuel Portus (R-4) and Engr. Jaime Bea.(R-5).
Among the well-meaning event resource speakers
were Engr. Ramon C. Hernandez, MARINA
Shipyards Regulations Service (SRS) Director; Mr.
