Ban-Uden Crewing, Inc. was founded by Capt. Celso Banag, a European trained and practicing Master Mariner until he decided to put his knowledge and expertise back in the Philippines. Since he was a cadet in a European flagged vessel, he was already planning to help those deserving new graduates of Maritime Schools in the Philippines find their way into foreign principals who also share the vision and goal of developing World Class Filipino Officers and Crew.

Ban-Uden Crewing, Inc. was born and established on the 19th January 2007 duly organized and recognized under the laws of the Republic of the Philippines, registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission to operate and engage in recruiting Filipino Seafarers and is licensed with the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration. It had been a dream and advocacy of Capt. Banag to help young and deserving countrymen and like him, crawl up with an improved social life and future, due to a profession at sea. Additionally, after working for so many years under European wages, he can now totally devote his time in screening and building up fresh graduates who can be developed into loyal and devoted Officers and crew in the near future. It is in this advocacy therefore that Ban-Uden Crewing stands uniquely apart from other agencies in the Philippines.

Ban-Uden Crewing will be manned on the Top Management by Capt. Celso Banag as President and will be joined by Capt. Sigfredo Monterroyo, also a European trained Crew Superintendent, Senior Manager and Master Mariner (in actual command of various type and tonnage of vessels) since the 1980’s, as the Managing Director. Additionally, the staff comprises well paid and experienced individuals trained and to be regularly upgraded for relevant trainings as required in specific jobs either in the Administration, Operation or the Accounting department of the company. Technical screening and final approval of crew will only be handled by the Top Management and those Engineers who will be on leave will be tapped to join the agency force while on leave not only to screen but to train or update in the mechanical, electrical and other engine operation aspect of those who will be lined up to join a vessel.

The mission of the company is to be the long term or permanent Agency of highly qualified and responsible Officers, Engineers and Crew. Moreover, it is also a mission to uplift the living standard of the Filipino family in general bearing in mind that mostly, if not all Filipino crew (Officers or Ratings) originated from poor families or the masses. These will be the Officers and Crew who will develop into loyal, flexible and never demanding ex crews of Ban-Uden Crewing.

It will be our objective to give specific briefings by ex crew to those who will be joining a vessel aiming that particular or specific problems in operation or in administration and documentation will be discussed as early as when the crew is planned or lined up to join a vessel. So that there will be an attraction from the ex crews to share or train, all Officers will be encouraged to take the 6.09 Trainor’s Training course and be dangled with attractive incentives whilst on leave and waiting to rejoin either the same vessel or another vessel of a particular principal. This is envisioned to lessen the adjustment period for new joiners and particular or specific problems would have already been discussed and solutions planned as early as when a crew is scheduled to join his vessel assignment.
