Pinaalalahanan ng MARINA ang mga Licensed Manning Agencies (LMAs) na ganap na gamitin ang online Expedite System upang mapabilis ang pagproseso ng dokumento ng mga marino at maiwasan ang pagkaantala.

Ayon sa ahensya, patuloy na nakaaapekto sa bilis ng proseso ang ilang walk-in expedite applications, sa kabila ng umiiral na online platform. Sa kasalukuyan, tinatayang 50% pa lamang ng LMAs ang fully gumagamit ng sistema.

Sa araw-araw, humigit-kumulang 200 expedite applications ang inaasikaso ng MARINA. Kapag ganap na nagamit ang online system, posibleng bumaba sa hanggang tatlong (3) oras ang processing time sa central office, mula sa kasalukuyang umaabot ng hanggang pitong (7) oras.

Giit ng MARINA, pansamantala lamang hanggang 08 Mayo 2026 ang pagtanggap ng walk-in expedite applications sa lahat ng processing centers sa buong bansa, kasabay ng pagpapatupad ng Seafarer’s Record Book (SRB) at Seafarer’s Identity Document (SID) Expedite Application System.

Hinihikayat ang mga manning agencies na gamitin ang online platform para sa mas mabilis at episyenteng proseso. Access portal: https://expedite-sidsrb.marina.gov.ph/

⚠️ 𝐁𝐀𝐁𝐀𝐋𝐀 𝐒𝐀 𝐏𝐔𝐁𝐋𝐈𝐊𝐎: 𝐌𝐀𝐆-𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐀𝐓 𝐒𝐀 𝐌𝐆𝐀 𝐅𝐈𝐗𝐄𝐑! ⚠️

Nakarating sa kaalaman ng MARINA ang mga ulat tungkol sa isang indibidwal na gumagamit ng alyas na "John Dave De Juan" na umano’y nag-aalok ng "guaranteed appointment slots" para sa SRB at SID kapalit ng karagdagang bayad.

Nais naming ipaalala sa lahat na ang MARINA ay hindi kumukunsinti sa anumang uri ng pangingikil o fraud. Ang mga appointment ay dapat dumaan sa opisyal na sistema at walang kaukulang "extra fee" na dapat ibayad sa mga indibidwal. Kasalukuyan ang isinisagawang imbestigasyon ukol dito.

⚓ Paalala sa ating mga Seafarers:

- Huwag makipag-transaksyon sa mga hindi awtorisadong tao.
- Gamitin lamang ang opisyal na MARINA appointment system.
- I-report agad ang anumang kahina-hinalang aktibidad sa aming mga opisyal na channels: [email protected] or (02) 8524 6517 | [email protected] | [email protected] | [email protected] | [email protected]

DO NOT PAY EXTRA TO SECURE APPOINTMENT SLOTS. FOLLOW THE LEGITIMATE PROCESS.

Sorsogon City - The Maritime Industry Authority Regional Office V (MARINA V), led by Regional Director Jeffrey A. Bangsa, participated in a roundtable discussion (RTD) organized by the Office for Transportation Security (OTS) on 21 April 2026 as part of ongoing efforts to strengthen maritime transport security in the region.

The activity brought together key government agencies to enhance interagency cooperation, promote shared expertise, and align strategies toward ensuring a more secure and resilient maritime transport network. The RTD provided a platform for participating agencies to discuss concerns, exchange best practices, and identify collaborative approaches in addressing maritime security challenges.

The initiative underscores the importance of unified action among partner agencies in advancing maritime security, improving coordination, and delivering more effective public service across the region.

MARINA V reaffirms its continued commitment to supporting national efforts in strengthening maritime safety and security through active collaboration and proactive engagement with partner institutions.

Masbate City - The Maritime Industry Authority Regional Office V successfully conducted its Maritime Safety Culture Awareness Campaign Caravan: Townhall Meeting on April 28, 2026, in Masbate City, gathering key maritime stakeholders in a unified effort to promote safer and more responsible maritime operations.

The half-day activity highlighted MARINA’s commitment to strengthening maritime safety through information dissemination, stakeholder engagement, and the introduction of digital innovations. Shipowners, operators, and representatives from various government agencies actively participated in the discussions, particularly during the open forum where issues and best practices on safety were exchanged.

A key feature of the event was the presentation of MARINA’s digital platform, designed to improve efficiency, transparency, and regulatory compliance in maritime processes. Participants were also oriented on the latest safety issuances to ensure alignment with updated standards and policies.

During the program, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was also introduced through a ceremonial signing, signifying the shared commitment between MARINA V and the local government in the municipalities of Masbate Province to strengthen maritime safety initiatives. It was noted, however, that the formal ex*****on of the agreement will proceed upon the issuance of a Sangguniang Bayan (SB) Resolution, which is a prerequisite before the Municipal Mayor can officially sign the MOU.

Following the townhall meeting, MRO5 conducted a mobile registration activity, providing on-site services to assist clients with registration and other transactions. The initiative aimed to make MARINA services more accessible to stakeholders in the province.

On the following day, MRO5 officials attended the Joint Committee Hearing at the SB Function Hall, where discussions centered on the issue of proposed fare hikes in the maritime transport sector. The agency joined local officials and stakeholders in deliberating on measures that would balance operational viability and the welfare of the commuting public.

Through these consecutive activities, MARINA V reaffirmed its commitment to enhancing maritime safety, improving service delivery, and actively participating in policy discussions that shape the future of the maritime industry.
