The Maritime Industry Authority (Marina) has beefed up its organizational work force with the appointment of 60 new officers and personnel, the agency said on Tuesday.

In a media advisory, Marina said its administrator, Rey Leonardo B. Guerrero, has approved the 60 new plantilla positions, and led the mass oath-taking of the new officers, an unprecedented event in the history of the agency.

The new officers are mostly lawyers, maritime development specialists, accountants, computer programmers and administrative aides.

“The assumption into office of these employees will allow the Marina to deliver its frontline services faster, more conveniently and more efficiently to maritime stakeholders,” the statement read.

It added that the hiring of more offers is part of the agency’s 14-point agenda for 2018.
