LT Marine

LT Marine connects international shipowners with certified Filipino seafarers across merchant shipping and offshore energy, handling every stage of the crewing cycle from recruitment through repatriation. Based at the Five E-Com Center in Pasay City, minutes from Manila Bay, the agency operates as a full-service partner rather than a simple placement service, taking ownership of crew documentation, payroll, welfare, and compliance so owners can focus on running their fleet. The service offering covers the full breadth of maritime crewing and ship management. Recruitment and vetting brings candidates through screening, document verification, and technical assessment before any placement is confirmed. Ship management extends to technical, operational, and safety coordination, including drydock planning and flag-state inspections, giving owners a single point of accountability. STCW-aligned training programs and cadetship pipelines develop Filipino talent from entry level through to officer rank. Payroll and remittance is handled in multiple currencies with transparent monthly reporting, and welfare support includes health insurance, family programs, and 24/7 emergency response for crew and their families. Visa handling, MLC audits, and P&I claims round out the administrative side, while a dedicated offshore crewing division supplies DP-certified officers, OSV crews, and specialist offshore ranks for the energy sector. LT Marine crews every major vessel type in merchant shipping, including bulk carriers, tankers, container ships, gas carriers (LPG and LNG), general cargo, and Ro-Ro vessels, alongside a full offshore offering for OSV, AHTS, DP vessels, drilling rigs, construction units, and offshore wind installations. The client base spans 12-plus nationalities of shipowners operating more than 40 vessels, with 500-plus seafarers in the active network. What distinguishes the operation is its leadership. The agency was built by former seafarers and shore-based managers who have worked both sides of the process, a background that shapes how crew welfare is prioritised alongside technical compliance. For shipowners outsourcing crew management to the Philippines, this means the agency understands the real cost of high turnover and the practical value of looking after crew properly. Full DMW licensing, MLC 2006 compliance, and STCW certification underpin every placement.
