The Class of 2028 wore their summer white uniform with pride as they took their oath during their Incorporation Rites on August 2, 2024, to become a full-fledged midshipman of the Maritime Academy of Asia and the Pacific.

The event marks the end of the one-month-long rigorous and semi-regimental training they have undergone during their IOP/RAMP program, putting their physical, mental, and emotional capabilities to the test.

A new challenge in a road less traveled unfolds as 585 probationary midshipmen and women entered the Academy for the Class of 2028 Reception Rites last July 1, 2024.

Take a look at the events yesterday as they bid their goodbyes to their loved ones to tackle their very first test that will test their physical, mental, and emotional strength. These men and women will be stripped of their civilian mannerisms during the 32-day Indoctrination / Orientation Program (IOP) which will distinguish them as official midshipmen and women.

Let us look forward to seeing the Class of 2028 in their summer white uniforms on their Incorporation Day!

Embracing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at Sea

MAAP wholeheartedly supports the International Maritime Organization’s program to support gender equality, which aligns with the UNESCO’s 5th Sustainable Development Goal — Gender Equality through the event, Waves of Change held at the Center for Advanced Maritime Studies (CAMS) Auditorium

Here are some snaps taken during the event.

HOORAH! The 155-strong men and women burst into cries and laughter, celebrating their victory in hurdling a road less traveled towards their dream of a bright future.

Now, the Exemplars of the Class of 2024 will take the next step on their Quest to Seize the Ever Relentless and Indomitable Ocean as they completed their three years of academic training and one year of shipboard training.

Equipped with the values of duty, service, selflessness, search for truth, and integrity, the EQUESERION CLASS OF 2024 is now en route to become the next leaders in the maritime industry as world-class seafarers.

Long live, MAAP!

WELCOME ABOARD ‘27! With the donning of shoulder boards and pinning of class pins, the Class of 2027 is finally a part of the midshipman fleet of the Maritime Academy of Asia and the Pacific. The seemingly long and arduous 32 days of training inside the Academy was gone in an instant with this momentous event.
The Incorporation Ceremony is the culmination of the transition of a normal teenage civilian to that of a midshipman, ready to face the challenges inside the Academy, and finally, to hurdle the seven seas.

Welcome aboard, Class of 2027!

As the sun sets, the preparation begins. Tomorrow is a brand new day to solidify, enhance, and polish the batch of a new era. It’s the end of one chapter, and the start of a new page of their journey towards their dreams of becoming a world class seafarer.

Class of 2027! Prepare to show the midshipmen fleet what you are made of.

FROM ONE DAY, TO DAY ONE. Monday, Yesterday, 03 July 2023, the Class of 2027 entered the hallowed grounds of the Maritime Academy of Asia and the Pacific for their Reception Rites which marks the start of the development of new future maritime leaders and officers. Witness as they undergo semi-regimental training and confirmation processes as they transform into Probationary Midshipmen of the Academy.

The Reception Rites heralds the beginning of the Indoctrination/Orientation Program (IOP), which will test their physical, mental, and emotional strength, as the training strips their civilian mannerisms and instills discipline upon them in their transformation as midshipmen of the Academy. Simultaneously, the probationary midshipmen undergo the Academic RAMP Program, which includes refresher courses on Math and English.

Should they successfully persevere through the challenges of the training, they shall then be officially incorporated into the Midshipman Fleet of the Academy as fourthclass midshipmen, on their Incorporation Ceremony after IOP.

Welcome aboard, Class of 2027! Embrace the winds of change as MAAP trains you into becoming future global maritime professionals.
