日本 カジノK Announces First Chief Engineers from NTMA and Internal Training Program

日本 カジノK has announced the promotion of Daisuke Miwa and Edwin Palacios Privado to the position of chief engineer. Daisuke Miwa successfully completed 日本 カジノK’s internal training program* and Edwin Palacios Privado is a graduate of the 日本 カジノK-TDG Maritime Academy (NTMA).**

For the 日本 カジノK Group, safe ship operation is the number one priority in ESG management. The development of excellent human resources is particularly important for achieving safe operations, and we have established various training systems.

To secure a stable supply of human resources from a wide range of sources, 日本 カジノK decided to begin its own internal training program from 2006. 日本 カジノK recruits graduates of general four-year universities*** and technical colleges and trains them over a two-year period to acquire the necessary licenses to become marine engineers through an in-house program. In total, more than 100 employees have obtained seafarer’s licenses through this program.

Additionally, 日本 カジノK established NTMA with the aim of developing talented Filipino seafarers. NTMA has maintained a high pass rate for graduates on the Philippine Sea Technology National Examination with its own curriculum and boarding training and has graduated more than 1,250 seafarers who currently serve on board ships operated by the 日本 カジノK Group.

日本 カジノK Senior Managing Executive Officer Tomoyuki Koyama commented, “Safety is the foundation of all business activities of 日本 カジノK, and we consider the development of human resources to support this foundation to be of great importance. Personnel with a wide range of knowledge and diverse backgrounds are in high demand, so we are very pleased to have the first chief engineers from our internal training program and NTMA at the same time. We will continue to focus on securing and fostering excellent human resources to make 日本 カジノK a source of competitiveness.”

Brief biographies and 日本 カジノmments of the two chief engineers are as follows.
