Technical personnel from MARINA’s STCW Office recently completed a 5-day Simulator Operation and Assessment Development Course held at PHILCAMSAT from July 7 to 11, 2025. This specialized training, in partnership with Kongsberg Maritime, aimed to enhance their skills in using the K-Sim Navigation and Engine Room Simulator Systems.

Led by experienced facilitators Capt. George Neil Paraoan and Engr. John Kevin Quilaton, the training covered simulator operations, scenario design, and assessment programming. This initiative supports MARINA’s ongoing efforts to modernize its assessment systems and ensure that maritime professionals are evaluated using world-class standards and tools.

PHILCAMSAT is proud to support this meaningful collaboration between MARINA and Kongsberg in shaping a stronger future for maritime training and assessment in the Philippines!
