Led by Seafarers.
Built for Shipowners.

About LT Marine
A manning agency led by the people who’ve been there.
LT Marine started as a digital-first crewing platform and grew into what shipowners actually need — a full-service Philippine manning agency rooted in real maritime experience. Our leadership is made up of former seafarers and shore-based managers who understand both sides of the gangway.
We’re based at the Five E-Com Center in Pasay City, just minutes from Manila Bay. From here we recruit, vet, train, and manage Filipino crew for shipowners around the world — handling everything from documentation and payroll to welfare and repatriation.
Our approach is built on one principle: when seafarers and their families are looked after properly, owners get a more reliable, longer-serving crew. That’s the whole business in one sentence.
Across the Fleet
We crew every major vessel type — at sea and offshore
Why LT Marine
Built on trust. Run by people who’ve sailed.
Manning agencies are a dime a dozen. What makes us different is the mix of professional experience at the top, the welfare commitment we make to every seafarer, and the operational discipline we bring to every fleet we work with.
Our directors and senior managers are former masters, chief engineers, and shore-side ops leads. They’ve been on the bridge and in the engine room — they know what good crew looks like.
Operating under licence DMW-231-SB-03312025-R-MLC. Every placement complies with MLC 2006 standards and Philippine seafarer protection law.
Seafarers are not just CVs in a database. We invest in welfare programs, family support, and long-term career progression — and that translates into crew who stay with you longer.
Vessel issues don’t wait for office hours. Our crewing desk operates around the clock, with direct phone access for emergencies, repatriations, and last-minute crew changes.
What we stand for — in practice, not just in print.
- Integrity. Transparent fees, honest assessments, and contracts that match what was promised in the interview.
- Welfare. Insurance, medical access, and family support that goes beyond the regulatory minimum.
- Competence. Continuous training and re-certification so our crew stays sharp at every rank.
- Accountability. One point of contact for every owner. No bouncing between desks when something needs solving.
- Long-term thinking. Repeat placements, not just one-off fixtures. Most of our seafarers come back voyage after voyage.
In Their Words
What owners & seafarers say
The relationships we build are the real measure of the work. Here’s what the people we serve tell us.
Reliable crew, delivered on schedule, with paperwork that never gives us a headache at port-state control. LT Marine has become our go-to manning partner in the Philippines.
They treated my application like I was a person, not a file. My allotment reaches my family on time every month, and someone always picks up when I call. I keep coming back.
When we had an emergency crew change over a weekend, their 24/7 desk had a replacement officer documented and flying within 48 hours. That responsiveness is rare.
Sectors We Serve
Two sectors. One standard of crew.
From deep-sea merchant trades to the offshore energy fields, we supply and manage Filipino crew to the same high bar — competent, compliant, and properly looked after.
Merchant Shipping
Full deck and engine departments for the international merchant fleet. From masters and chief engineers to ratings and cadets, we crew the vessels that move the world’s cargo — backed by full ship-management support.
Offshore & Energy
Specialist crews for the offshore energy sector — DP-certified officers, OSV and anchor-handling crews, and personnel for construction, drilling, and offshore wind. Higher certification demands, handled to standard.
What We Do
Full-service crewing & ship management
From the first interview to the moment your crew returns home — we handle every part of the manning cycle, so you can focus on running your fleet.
Full-cycle recruitment from sourcing to deployment. Every candidate is screened, document-verified, and assessed for technical competence and reliability before joining your vessel.
01Technical, operational, and safety management for owners who want a single point of accountability. We coordinate everything from drydock planning to flag-state inspections.
02Accredited maritime training programs aligned with STCW standards. We also run cadetship pipelines that develop young Filipino seafarers into the officers your fleet will need.
03Multi-currency payroll, allotment management, and transparent monthly financial reporting. Seafarers’ families are paid on time, every time, with proper documentation.
04Health insurance, family welfare programs, repatriation support, and 24/7 emergency response. Our seafarers know we look after them — not just their paperwork.
05Complete handling of seafarer visas, travel documents, joining letters, and flag-state endorsements. Crew arrive at the gangway with all paperwork in order.
06Maritime regulatory compliance, MLC audits, and P&I claims handling on behalf of crew and owners. We keep the paperwork tight so the operations stay smooth.
07DP-certified officers, OSV and rig crews, and specialist offshore ranks for supply vessels, anchor handlers, construction/DP units, and energy installations — fully certified to offshore standards.

Share service feedback or raise a concernIntegrity & Accountability
Whistleblower Policy
LT Marine Offshore Services, Inc. encourages people to speak up about suspected wrongdoing connected with our business. We are committed to fair review, responsible handling of information and protection against retaliation for honestly raised concerns.
Raise a concern
dpo@lt-marine.comUse the subject “Confidential whistleblowing report”. This link opens your email application; you must send the message there.
Email is not anonymous. Your email address and message details may identify you. Explain any concerns about being contacted or identified.
If your concern involves the person receiving reports, you may contact an appropriate external authority directly. See “Independent reporting & your rights” below.
Immediate danger: use the relevant vessel emergency procedure or local emergency services. Do not wait for a response to an email.
For routine service feedback, use our Feedback & Complaints channel. A concern involving misconduct may still be raised under this policy.
1. Who can report & what to report
This policy is open to current and former employees, seafarers, applicants, principals, suppliers, contractors and other people with concerns connected with LT Marine’s activities.
- Fraud, theft, bribery, corruption or falsification of records.
- Recruitment misconduct, unlawful fees, exploitation or abuse.
- Harassment, discrimination, threats or other serious misconduct.
- Unsafe practices, environmental harm or suspected breaches of law.
- Misuse of personal information, concealment of wrongdoing or retaliation.
You do not need to prove the concern before reporting. Explain what you reasonably believe happened and distinguish facts from assumptions.
2. How to make a report
Email dpo@lt-marine.com with as much relevant information as you can safely provide:
- What happened, when and where, including any relevant vessel or service.
- The people involved and any witnesses, where known.
- Any continuing risk or concern about retaliation.
- A safe way to contact you, if you wish to receive a response.
Describe relevant evidence you already lawfully hold. Do not put yourself at risk, access records without authorization or send unnecessary passport, bank or medical information. Ask the recipient how to provide sensitive supporting documents appropriately.
Reports received without a name will be considered on the information available, although investigation and feedback may be limited. This website does not provide an anonymous reporting system.
3. Protection against retaliation
LT Marine prohibits retaliation against anyone who raises a concern honestly or assists a review. This includes threats, intimidation, harassment, dismissal, unfair treatment or adverse recruitment or deployment decisions because of the report.
This protection applies even when a concern is not substantiated. Report suspected retaliation through this channel or an appropriate external authority. Retaliation will be reviewed and may lead to disciplinary or other appropriate action, subject to fair procedures.
Deliberately providing information known to be false may lead to appropriate action. An honest mistake or an unproven concern is not a deliberately false report.
4. Confidentiality & personal information
LT Marine will limit access to reports and identifying information to authorized people who need it to assess the concern, investigate, take appropriate action or meet legal obligations. Information will not be shared more widely than necessary for those purposes.
Absolute confidentiality cannot be guaranteed. Limited disclosure may be necessary for a fair investigation, professional advice or a lawful request from an authority. Where lawful and practicable, we will discuss with you any necessary disclosure of your identity.
Records will be protected against unauthorized access and retained only as necessary to handle the matter and meet applicable legal requirements, including any required preservation for proceedings. They will then be securely disposed of or anonymized.
For privacy questions or requests concerning your information, contact dpo@lt-marine.com. Requests will be considered subject to applicable law and the rights of others.
5. How reports will be handled
- Assess: review the concern, any immediate risk and any conflict of interest; acknowledge receipt where a safe contact method is available.
- Review fairly: assign an authorized person who is not involved in the concern, obtain relevant information and give affected people an appropriate opportunity to respond.
- Act: determine appropriate corrective, disciplinary or referral action based on the findings and applicable requirements.
- Follow up: provide updates and, where appropriate, a summary of the outcome, subject to confidentiality and the rights of others.
The time needed depends on the nature and complexity of the concern. Receiving a report does not predetermine its outcome. The person receiving a report is not automatically the person who investigates it.
6. Independent reporting & your rights
If a concern involves the person receiving reports, or you are uncomfortable using the company channel, you may approach an appropriate external authority. Company permission is not required to contact an authority.
Depending on the concern, these may include the Department of Migrant Workers for recruitment or manning matters, the National Privacy Commission for privacy matters, or relevant maritime authorities or law enforcement. Use the authority’s official guidance for its reporting procedure.
This policy supplements existing onboard and onshore complaint procedures, employment grievance procedures and applicable collective agreements. It does not remove rights to approach the master or appropriate authorities, seek advice or obtain representation. Any applicable legal procedures and filing deadlines still apply.
7. Responsibility & review
Company management is responsible for implementing this policy, authorizing access to the reporting mailbox and arranging impartial handling of concerns. Anyone involved in a concern must not investigate or decide the outcome of that concern.
The policy will be reviewed periodically and when changes to the business, reporting arrangements or applicable requirements make an update necessary.

Common Questions
Frequently asked
A few of the things shipowners and seafarers ask us most often. Don’t see your question? Just get in touch.
Yes. LT Marine operates under DMW licence DMW-231-SB-03312025-R-MLC, issued by the Department of Migrant Workers. Every placement we make complies with MLC 2006 standards and Philippine seafarer protection law.
We supply full deck and engine departments — from masters and chief engineers down to ordinary seamen, oilers, and deck cadets. We crew bulk carriers, tankers, container ships, general cargo, gas carriers, and Ro-Ro/PCC vessels. If you have a specialty requirement, we can structure a programme around it.
It depends on rank and documentation status, but for crew already in our vetted pool we can typically complete matching, documentation, and travel within days. For emergency crew changes, our 24/7 desk has deployed replacement officers within 48 hours.
Applications are handled through our Seafarer Application Portal, where you can create your profile and upload your CV, sea-service record, and STCW certificates. If your profile matches an open requirement, our crewing team will be in touch to begin the vetting process.
We run multi-currency payroll with allotment management, so seafarers’ families are paid on time every month with proper documentation. Owners receive transparent monthly financial reporting covering wages, allotments, and remittances.
Health insurance, family welfare programs, medical access, repatriation support, and a 24/7 emergency line. Our view is simple: looked-after crew are more reliable crew, and that benefits owners as much as it benefits the seafarers and their families.
LT Marine is preparing for ISO 9001 certification. The intended scope is maritime manning and crew management; technical ship management is outside that intended scope. Our Quality Policy sets out our commitments. Certification details will be published if certification is awarded.
Shipowners, seafarers and partners can email operations@lt-marine.com. Include the service involved, relevant dates and the outcome you are seeking. See our feedback and complaints guidance for more information.
