CREW TRAINING
GMSI works very closely with United Marine Training Centre (UMTC), situated in an adjacent building, where our good seafarers are trained to become excellent. UMTC is a state-of-the-art training facility and officially recognized as a Centre of Excellence by DNV GL, making it the 1st maritime training centre in the Philippines and Southeast Asia to obtain this status and only the 2nd currently holding it worldwide. UMTC is mandated and committed to providing the best possible standard of training to seafarers, so that their onboard performance would not only satisfy, but exceed the expectations of the Ship manager.
