About Us

Marine Café Blog

Marine Café Blog is a blog as well as an online resource for the analysis of global maritime trends with special focus on the Philippines. Unorthodox and often irreverent, its goal is simply to share ideas and information and, if possible, to help its readers see things in a new light. The scope is wide, the topics diverse – from shipping, ports and shipyards to marine technology, culture and the environment.

Coffee, in our opinion, should be served hot and have a full-bodied flavour and a distinctive aroma. Marine Café Blog strives toward  the same qualities in its editorial style and content.
