Shipping is not just an industry. For us, it is our DNA.

With over 45 years of heritage in ship management, crew management, and integrated maritime services, Crossworld Marine continues to move forward — strategically, operationally, and socially.

February marks two significant milestones: the strengthening of our operational leadership and our continued investment in maritime education through the Adopt-a-Ship initiative.

Adopt-a-Ship Maritime & Geography Interschool Quiz Bee, Pacita Complex National High School, San Pedro, Laguna — February 19, 2026.

A proud highlight: Crossworld’s partner school, Calendola National High School, secured 3rd Place in the first-ever Interschool Quiz Bee.

Why does this matter for the maritime industry?

Because sustainability is not only about emissions. It is about talent pipelines.

Encouraging maritime awareness among youth strengthens:

• Future officer development
• Maritime career interest
• Industry-education collaboration
• Long-term workforce resilience

The maritime sector needs competent, motivated professionals. Engagement at the school level builds that foundation early.

Strengthening Crew Management Leadership

We are pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Ivan Gil Tuazon as Operations Manager of CROSSWORLD MARINE SERVICES INC.

With over ten years of experience in marine human resources and petroleum supply chain management, Mr. Tuazon brings deep expertise in:

• End-to-end crewing operations
• Regulatory compliance & audit readiness
• Fleet operational performance
• Marine assurance systems (OCIMF / TMSA alignment)
• Operational transformation & cost efficiency

A graduate of the Philippine Merchant Marine Academy, he began his career as a Deck Officer before advancing into senior management roles.

This matters.

In today’s maritime environment, shipowners and managers require:

• Transparent processes
• Regulatory discipline
• Digitally enabled crew management
• Cost-efficient, compliant operations

Crossworld Marine’s philosophy has always been reliability, transparency, and integrated in-house expertise. Strengthening leadership in key operational hubs reinforces our commitment to delivering measurable value to our principals and long-term career development to our seafarers.

Crew management is not transactional. It is strategic.

Looking Ahead

As global shipping continues to evolve — driven by regulatory shifts, digital transformation, and talent competition — strong leadership and long-term talent development will define the winners.

Crossworld Marine remains committed to:

• Delivering reliable, transparent crew management services
• Supporting maritime education and CSR initiatives
• Strengthening partnerships with principals worldwide

Together Always Ahead.
