US Merchant Marine Academy post-graduate school to rise in Subic Freeport
The United States Merchant Marine Academy (USMMA) through its continuing education program provider, Global Maritime and Transportation School (GMATS) has expressed interest to set up an international maritime school in this premier freeport zone.
Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA) Chairman Feliciano G. Salonga announced the USMMA proposal after receiving a letter from Captain John E. Hanus of the US Maritime Service for the establishment of an education center for graduate studies.
In his letter, Hanus said that, “as a global leader in this field (maritime education), we are very much interested in assisting SBMA in this endeavor provided that our role is mutually agreeable and politically acceptable to all concerned.” Hanus added that USMS would not want to duplicate existing capacity for maritime training in the Philippines or the Asian region to its plan to set up a maritime school in Subic Freeport.
Salonga, who himself is a graduate of USMMA, added that Subic Freeport is on the verge of the biggest maritime industry boom in the country.
The US Merchant Marine Academy was established in 1943 on the North Shore of Long Island, consolidating several maritime training facilities that were set up around the US during WWII.
