Today, we honor the incredible contributions of seafarers worldwide. This year's theme emphasizes the critical need for a safer workplace for all seafarers.

Harassment at sea affects individuals of all genders and ranks, causing emotional distress and hindering career growth. Many incidents remain unreported due to fear of retaliation and distrust in reporting systems.

The Day of the Seafarer 2025 is more than just a celebrationโ€”it's a call to action. 'My Harassment-Free Ship' aims to transform maritime culture, ensuring every seafarer feels safe, valued, and protected. Together, we can build a safer maritime industry.

PNBC recently concluded its AGM. This is the highest decision-making body in PNBC, and as such this is in many ways our most important meeting of the year.

This year, we were fortunate to have Ambassador Christian Lyster of The Royal Norwegian Embassy in Manila as our host. He expressed his personal support for our efforts, together with his team at the Embassy, and we are grateful for this.

The Board of Trustees for 2025 is as follows:

Atty. Charles Jay Dela Cruz
Mr. Lars Garen
Mr. Stefan Sandvik
Mr. Jan Andre' Heggem
Mr. Svend Foyn-Bruun
Mr. Per Selmer-Olsen
Mr. Rohan Shetty
Mr. Michael Ardieta
Mr. Carl Martin Faannessen

Alternates:
Ms. Andrea Isabel Co

The Board will meet on 05-June-2025 to assign roles and responsibilities.

We also took the opportunity to hand over proceeds from our first ever Charity Golf Tournament. Both Streetlight and Bridge Builder Foundation Philippines received funds, and they explained how much good they could to with this.

Looking forward there is Creating MORE Currents in November, our next Charity Golf Tournament in January 2026, plus a wide range of membersโ€™ luncheons. Plenty of good conversations to be had.

We thank The Royal Norwegian Embassy in Manila and our members for their continued support. The momentum is palpable!

PNBC participated in the launch of ARTA's โ€œPhilippines ease of doing business reform guidebookโ€ on 22-May-2025. Key takeaway: ARTA means business. How do we know? First the e-BOSS platform, open to all LGUs, is making things like business registration much faster. The best LGUs now register businesses in TEN minutes.
Second, ARTA is prepared to play hardball when LGUs drag their feet. ARTA has filed cases with the ombudsman where LGUs are ignoring ARTAโ€™s Notices to Explain; over 100 cases are filed so far.
Third, and perhaps most important, ARTA is relentless is its outreach efforts towards the private sector.

In Philippines Norway Business Council - PNBC, we are proud of our MoU with Anti-Red Tape Authority, and we are glad to assist their efforts where we can.
