Far East Maritime Foundation, Inc Manila

Established in 1992, Far East Maritime Foundation, Inc. (FEMFI) was conceived to provide and deliver quality training for Filipino seafarers. FEMFI firmly believes in the value formation of a world class seafarer through high standards of training and education. Reflective of its pioneering and innovative spirit, FEMFI distinguished itself as among the most trusted maritime training centers in the country being the first to offer training program in the Ship Restricted Radio Operator Course (SRROC) and the INMARSAT/GMDSS courses.

Since then FEMFI has evolved from a one room training center to what is now one of the country’s leader in maritime training. By 1995 FEMFI was the first training center to expand to the south by establishing its branch in Cebu, and in 1998 the second branch was opened in Pangasinan. The year 1999 was the year that marked the major expansion of FEMFI-Manila by adding more training courses in navigation and tanker operations. In year 2001 the basic and advanced safety courses were offered.

In line with FEMFI’s pursuit for excellence in maritime training and education, it has acquired its ISO 9002 certification from BVQI last February 1999 and was re-certified to ISO 9001:2000 standards in December 2003. And last May 2010 upgraded to ISO 9001:2008 standards.
