LONDON 27 September 2019 — Two Philippine companies were recognized during the 2019 Safety at Sea Awards (SASA) on 10 September 2019 at the London Marriott Hotel.

Philippine Transmarine Carriers, Inc (PTC) was named Maritime Employer of the Year for its unwavering commitment in maintaining excellent working practices while at the same time ensuring the safety and security of its crew.
