Briese Schiffahrt Philippines Partners with Maritime Academies for Pre-Shipboard Cadet Training
We're proud to announce the successful completion of another batch of Briese cadets' pre-shipboard practical training in partnership with Iloilo Merchant Marine School in Iloilo City. This marks a significant milestone in our ongoing commitment to thoroughly preparing our cadets before they embark on their onboard cadetship.
From August 10 to 21, 2026, our cadets embarked on an intensive 10-day hands on training, mastering essential practical skills that will serve them well on their path to maritime career. The program's culmination was a simple recognition ceremony, where the cadets' hard work and dedication were recognized in the presence of their instructors and Briese Schiffahrt crew members.
Briese Schiffahrt’s ex crew Bosun Pilarta and Cadet Mantac, shared their experiences on board Briese ships. They inspired the new cadets with their stories of life at sea and inspirational talk.
Following their talks, Capt. Nesias Rondina, Jr., Briese Schiffahrt Philippines' Training Consultant, conducted a briefing session to ensure the cadets are fully oriented and prepared for their transition to life on board.
We extend our deepest appreciation to Capt. Rene Limjuco and the management of Iloilo Merchant Marine School, along with instructors 2/M Vergel Ken Clariza and 3/E Adrian S. Flores. Their tireless dedication to passing down essential knowledge and real-world skills ensures our cadets are well prepared.
