The Maritime Industry Authority (MARINA) is set to roll out online services for seafarers and stakeholders starting July 1 as part of efforts to streamline maritime-related processes and applications. 

MARINA NCR Director Engr. Marc Anthony Pascua said the agency's online services is in line with the directive of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to digitalize government transactions. 

"Lahat po ng processes natin magiging online na po. Naka QR code na mula umpisa hanggang matapos," said Pascua.

Forming part of the 10-point Maritime Agenda is the rollout of the MARINA Blockchain-Enabled Automatic Certification System (BEST), according to Pascua 

With the QR code, Pascua added that MARINA partner agencies in the maritime sector, such as the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG), can easily check the authenticity of documents.
