Foundation in maritime training
Whether you want a tailor-made solution or an off-the-shelf course, our long-standing key partnerships and unique state-of-the-art infrastructure allow us to develop program packages and courses for your specific needs.
The campus and key people have been operational since 2002 in Subic even before the launch of GigaMare in 2013, when GigaMare acquired Wärtsilä Corporation's training infrastructure in the Philippines.
Thousands of seafarers have enhanced their skills and more than 2000 cadets have kick-started their careers through our programs.
