Speaker Feliciano Belmonte Jr. is seeking “vigorous and sustainable reforms”  in  the  maritime  industry for the Philippines to pass the European Union safety audit in  October  and  be able to save the jobs of  Filipino seafarers boarding European Union-flagged commercial vessels.

At least 360,000 Filipino seafarers are aboard EU vessels but their number will be pared down by 80,000 initially if the Philippines  flunks the safety audit to be conducted by the EU Maritime Safety Agency.
Belmonte stressed the need to upgrade  standards of training for the sailors to ensure that all schools comply with international norms and principles.

Earlier, the German Shipowners’ Association (Verband Deutscher Reeder) has warned that tens of thousands Filipino seafarers risk losing their jobs in EU-registered ships if the Philippine government fails to pass the EU maritime audit in October.

The International Chamber of Shipping, the world’s principal shipping organization representing 80 percent of the world’s merchant tonnage, also called the attention of President Benigno  Aquino III in a letter to address the EU’s concern over the country’s maritime industry’s failure to pass the audit last April.
During his visit to Germany, Vice President Jejomar Binay disclosed after meeting with some 50 German shipping titans in the seaport capital city of Hamburg that they would keep their Filipino seamen and supported the country’s efforts to pass the next EU maritime safety audit.  Read the full Manila Standard article here  http://manilastandardtoday.com/2013/06/12/80000-seafarers-face-job-loss/
