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

Sectors We Serve

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

Deep-Sea · Global Fleet

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.

Bulk Carriers Tankers Container Gas Carriers General Cargo Ro-Ro & PCC

Offshore & Energy

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.

Technical, operational, and safety management for owners who want a single point of accountability. We coordinate everything from drydock planning to flag-state inspections.

Welfare & Insurance

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.

Seafarer-Led Leadership

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.

Fully DMW Licensed

Operating under licence DMW-231-SB-03312025-R-MLC. Every placement complies with MLC 2006 standards and Philippine seafarer protection law.

People-First Approach

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.

24/7 Operational Coverage

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.

Our Values

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.

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.

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.
