Marino World is celebrating its 20 years in the industry with a major project – the Marino World Manning Expo and Conference (MWMEC) 2025, which will be held at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay City from September 29 to October 1, 2025.

 

Themed “Shaping the Future of Filipino Seafarers for Sustainable Shipping,” MWMEC will bring together seafarers and their families, cadets, shipowners and ship managers, maritime executives and staff, educators and trainers, government officials and employees, and service providers and suppliers to network, discuss and collaborate for the development and empowerment of our seafarers who are the heart and soul of the maritime industry.

MWMEC’s conference sessions aim to address not only the lingering concerns but also the future challenges in the employment of our Filipino seafarers, anticipating the shipping’s huge transformation with the coming of new fuels, digitalization and automation.

The Magna Carta of Filipino Seafarers will be revisited after one year of implementation, and stakeholders will discuss critical issues on criminalization of seafarers. The official event partners will also co-host industry dialogues and networking sessions.

At the exhibition hall, seafarers can explore job opportunities with the recruitment activities,  authorized and supported by the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) and the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE). Products and services for the seafarers and their families will also be displayed and presented at the event.

MWMEC promises to be a collaborative gathering between seafarers, employers, and the government to help the Philippines become more robust in the face of future global shipping issues.

MWMEC is happening simultaneously with The Maritime League’s Blue Economy Annual Trade and Conference (BEACON 2025).
