PTC's Sea Mariners team has established its 8th ship with PHINMA - University of Iloilo (PHINMA UI). PHINMA UI is an academic institution that forms part of PHINMA Education. The pilot 24 members are BS Marine Engineering students.

The Sea Mariners from PHINMA Ship completed their virtual Orientation program on October 21. This was followed by a faceto-face Onboarding Training on October 28 where they had the chance to play and learn the Master of Disaster (MOD) Board Game facilitated by PTC's implementing partner ASSIST Asia. The members also elected their officers and signed the Charter Agreement through Dean Lemuel Bullos Jr. and Adult Adviser Ulyssess Nepomuceno. The initiative was made possible through the support of Ms. Churchille Pasague, Community Engagement Officer of PHINMA UI who will be linking PTC to the other PHINMA universities in Metro Manila to ensure that more Sea Mariners ships will sail across the country.
