Presently,. AMOSUP-PTGWO-ITF embarks its most ambitious project to date, an academy where the best breed of merchant marine deck and engine officers in the world can be found - the MARITIME ACADEMY OF ASIA AND THE PACIFIC-KAMAYA POINT.

The MARITIME ACADEMY OF ASIA AND THE PACIFIC (MAAP) was envisioned and established by Capt. Gregorio S. Oca, the visionary founder, the President of AMOSUP (Associated Marine Officer’s and Seamen’s Union of the Philippines) to be at par with the best maritime education and training institutions in the world.  .

MAAP, which was founded in January 14, 1998,  is designed to be a world-class maritime academy hence; it is equipped with state-of the-art facilities compliant to the requirements of the  STCW (Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers).

The academy is accredited by the Commission of Higher Education (CHED), offers four-year scholarship grants in Maritime Transportation and Maritime Engineering, a five-year course in Integrated Maritime Studies and Brigding Program for Maritime Engineering  to qualified applicants selected nationwide through competitive entrance requirements.  Through appropriate arrangement with various sponsors and donors, every graduate is assured of employment aboard commercial ships plying  the foreign trade.

The  AMOSUP Seamen’s Training Center (ASTC) on the other hand, which is accredited by the Maritime Training Council (MTC), the Maritime Industry Authority (MARINA), and the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), was established to carry out programs and services to benefit Union’s members and their dependents.

ASTC was established in 1972. It conducted its first orientation seminars and training courses in 1973, with emphasis on trade unionism, dignity of the  profession, duties and responsibilities to the Union, to the employer, to the country and  other subjects on the never ending technological changes affecting working conditions onboard modern vessels.

Owing to the vision of Capt. Oca, the support of Stolt-Nielsen, Norwegian Shipping and Offshore Federation, and other unions and private organization, the training center continuously improved and upgraded its quality of service and kept on increasing the number of courses being offered.
         
A Governing Board composed of the Private Sector, Danish Shipowners Association, Norwegian Shipowners Association, Japanese Shipowners Association (JSA), All Japan Seamens’ Union (AJSU), International Transport Workers Federation (ITF), International Maritime Employees’ Committee and the Filipino Association of Marines’ Employment (FAME) run the Maritime Academy of Asia and the Pacific
