recruitment and training of high-quality
seafarers by establishing this maritime

Year Program" targeted new seafarers from among
third-year students at partner maritime schools in
the Philippines, which MOL provided education and
training at its group training center in the Philippines.
MOL Magsaysay Maritime Academy aims to build
upon the achievements and expertise accumulated
through 3rd Year Program, which has graduated over
700 seafarers, and provides an ever-higher level of
training quality.
Construction of the academy facilities is already
completed. The academy's main feature, a training
facility called the "Ship in Campus" is aimed at
providing students with training that makes them
work-ready as soon as they complete their studies.
The facility imitates not only ship's exterior, but also
its layout of the practice facilities inside the building,
