Julian Abril
IMO's Head of Facilitation Section, Maritime Safety Division
Co-operation between diverse maritime actors is vital for the global economic recovery and to increase relisience towards the devasting effects of the ongoing pandemic. Standardization of processes and the harmonisation of data can be key factors to unleash value for the global maritime industry.

Next Wednesday, July 7th, at 0900h BST, IMO's Head of Facilitation Section, Maritime Safety Division, Julian Abril, will have a conversation with the Co-founder and Chief Executive of Navozyme, Anjaney Borwankar, about key issues that IMO FAL is working upon such as the Single Maritime Window, IMO FAL Compendium, the adoption of E-certificates etc.

The Maritime Academy of Asia and the Pacific adopts N-CAP for seafarers' certifications
The Maritime Academy of Asia and the Pacific (MAAP) is the first maritime training institution in the world to use blockchain technology for seafarers’ certifications via the Navozyme-Certificate Authentication Platform (N-CAP).

MAAP's Registrar's Office has been working closely with the Navozyme team to roll out Blockchain Enabled E-certificates (BEEs) to MAAP's cadets and alumni. The solution enables the real-time exchange of certificate-related information between the Registrar, the cadets & alumni, and other permissioned maritime stakeholders like Medical Centres and Crewing Agencies.
Overseas Filipino Workers: Smugglers of Faith and Joy by Prof. Bernardo Villegas
The COVID-19 pandemic has reached almost every country in the world. However, its impact is not shared equally.

The Philippines has more than 10 million Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW), spread out in more than 200 countries and territories. OFW have become "the global front liners helping to carry the burden of the Philippine economy".

We encourage you to read this thoughtful piece by Prof. Bernardo Villegas on the social-economic impact of the pandemic in the Philippines.
New edition of The Nautical Institute's certified course Blockchain for Maritime Professionals - The Fundamentals
This course demystifies blockchain and enables the maritime professional to understand the advantages and the limitations of this technology. The course is designed specifically for the maritime industry and no technical background or prior understanding of this technology is necessary to attend this course.

Live classes are held online and the group is kept to a small size (typically around 8 participants) to maximize engagement and interactions. Carefully designed games, readings and assignments are used to reinforce the learnings.

Past participants have included an eclectic group of maritime professionals, from seafarers (from Master Mariners & Chief Engineers to cadets), to representatives from Port Authorities, Government regulatory bodies, Shipmanagers, Logistic Operators, IMO Members, Maritime lawyers, Maritime Training Institution instructors etc.
