NYK opens new maritime academy in Philippines
NYK Line on Friday said it inaugurated a new maritime academy in Canlubang, Philippines.
'With the expectation of an increased need for seafarers as shipping demands increase, there is an urgency to recruit and train highly skilled individuals to man NYK’s vessels,' the Japanese carrier said in a statement. 'Therefore, NYK and its business partner (Transnational Diversified Group) decided to establish this maritime college, which will educate and train future crewmembers during their school years so that they will not only be able to handle issues involving management but will also gain practical knowledge that is required on board vessels.'
The academy has capacity for 120 students.
