Senior Vice President for Crewing of Jebsen Maritime Arleen Asuncion shares how Abojeb’s crew management arm differentiates itself through market-leading tech innovations and welfare programs.

Faannessen also mentioned that though Abojeb Group will remain focused on recruiting and developing Filipinos seafarers and providing quality and cost-efficient ship management globally, they are also looking at hiring land-based professionals because of the global demand for Filipino talent in the healthcare and education sector.

Head of Jebsen Ship Management Capt. Allwyn Lobo expounds on the advantages of operating ship management from the Philippines and the country’s promising position to lead in the said field.

General Manager of Jebsen Competency Development Center Capt. Joeran Noestvik shares the company’s take on skills development of Filipino seafarers including career progression to remain a competitive source of maritime talent.

“More and more countries are opening their doors to Filipino healthcare professionals and teachers. And by taking advantage of this opportunity, we will be able to give more Filipinos a chance to a better life as we extend our services beyond maritime,” Faannessen shared.

Business Development Manager of Abojeb Manpower Solutions Fritz Lim gives a primer on the land-based manpower recruitment unit of the Abojeb group which is active in the healthcare, oil and gas, ship building, and engineering industries.

According to Faannessen, many industries are still in need of skilled and competent Filipino workforce. The Philippines is a top-of-mind choice when it comes to sea-based and land-based talent. Hence, the Abojeb Group continues to see the people of the Philippines as the backbone of its business also in the future.
