The Maritime Industry Authority (MARINA) disclosed Monday, Nov. 31, that it has met with maritime experts and primary stakeholders to discuss the formulation and review of its policies on shipbuilding and ship repair (SBSR).

Engr. Ramon Hernandez, director of Marina Shipyards Regulation Service (SRS), presided over the SBSR Technical Experts Group hybrid meeting in Manila which was attended by eight MARINA-accredited maritime companies that conduct Inclining Test and Stability Calculation and Assessment.

The said assessment is being done in relation to the formulation and review of policies relative to the design, construction, and safety of Philippine-registered ships.

“The discussion focused on the technical policies of the agency related to the requirements of intact and damage stability of ships,” MARINA said.
