Senator Crewing Manila (SCM), a member of the Columbia Group, recently celebrated its expansion into the cruise market with the opening of a new office. Spearheaded by CSM’s general manager, Capt. Gilbert Garcia, this move demonstrates the company’s dedication to Filipino seafarers, especially during the ongoing recovery of global fleet deployment.
The new cruise recruitment office, located on the 8th floor of the Aseana Building in Aseana City, Parañaque, marks a significant milestone for SCM. With a modern design emphasizing innovation, teamwork, and excellence, the office space is designed to facilitate quality overseas employment for Filipino seafarers. Previously focused on cargo vessels within the Columbia Group, the office will now cater to crew needs for cruise lines managed by the same group.
The expansion into the cruise tourism industry aligns with the growing demand for Filipino seafarers in this sector. Capt. Garcia praised the SCM team for their tireless efforts in securing employment opportunities for Filipino seafarers, acknowledging their commitment to excellence. As the global cruise passenger capacity is projected to increase by 10% from 2024 to 2028, SCM’s focus on cruise recruitment positions them for continued growth and success in the industry.
