Lydia Mar Manila Inc.

It's a feast over the Mediterranean Sea!😋 Buon appetito to the crew of Louisa Bolten!

Tamang calm seas party muna ka Lakbay.☺
Safe sailing!❤💙💚🙏

Thank you to all seafarers around the world! 💙🚢

🙏🏽Today, let's take a moment to appreciate our seafarers and the professionalism they display in their work. Without them, the shipping of essential goods would not reach their destinations, and entire economies would crumble.

🚨But we must also remember the challenges seafarers face - the harsh environments, conflict zones, and the ever-present dangers at sea.

🦺Seafarers are experts when it comes to safety, but we also have to ensure they're protected. It's not just their task, but it's our shared mission to push for safer seas, and safer working environments.

🌊"Keeping safe" may sound simple, but it's much more complex for seafarers. Search to discover just how much work goes into the safety of crew.

💙Today, and every day, let us pray for the safety of seafarers around the world, and let's all do our part to support and advocate for the safety of all lives at sea.

Thank you to Lakbay Marinero for allowing us to use his photos! 📸

This Privacy Awareness Week, we’re reminding everyone that withholding a seafarer’s documents, which includes their personal information—from passports to certificates—is unlawful and unethical.

At LMM, we uphold your right to access your data. Need your blue folder? No problem! The contents are yours and it's your right to take them with you if you wish. And whenever these docs are entrusted to LMM, we are committed to keeping them safe and secure.

Your documents are your property. No one can keep them from you or use them as collateral. A crewing agency, or any other company or person who withholds your documents is violating the Philippine Data Privacy Act.

Lydia Mar Manila and Mastermind Shipmanagement started the year off with a scholarship program💙 for BSMT and BSMarE students of DMMA College of Southern Philippines Official

The MOA signing marks the maiden voyage of this scholarship program, and we hope to continue with even more students.

Another interesting feature of our program is that scholars are also guided by a full-fledged seafarer of LMM (who is also a graduate of DMMA), to give the students additional support as they go through the journey of becoming a maritime professional.

DMMA has been doing a great job connecting organizations such as ours with potential scholars. Please reach out to the school to learn more about available scholarship opportunities.

Woah, that sky, that ship! 🤩 Say Hello to AAL Gibraltar! This vessel is currently under the care of our crew, and our principal, Mastermind Shipping.
