As home to the world's seafarer of choice, Philippine Transmarine Carriers (PTC) remains committed to ensuring that the key role Filipino Global Maritime Professionals (GMPs) play in the industry is sustained through training programs that will help them develop the necessary knowledge, skills, and behaviors to fuel the industry's green transition. PTC is proud to be a partner of The Maritime Just Transition Task Force.

The Maritime Just Transition Task Force was founded by the International Chamber of Shipping, the International Transport Workers’ Federation, and the UN Global Compact.

Established at COP26 in Glasgow, the Task Force's founding members also include the UN’s shipping body, the International Maritime Organization, and the International Labour Organization. It brings together governments, maritime workers’ unions, and the shipping industry to pursue a fair and equitable green transition in shipping. Its purpose is to ensure that workers’ rights and developing economies’ access to zeroemission vessels and zero-carbon fuels remain at the center of policy decisions.

The global shipping industry is responsible for about 3% of global GHG emissions. Reskilling and upskilling the workforce is integral to transitioning the industry to a zero-emission value chain of new fuel production and distribution and building the new infrastructure to support it.
