In connection with the observance of the 2025 National Maritime Week Celebration, the Port Management Office of Misamis Oriental/Cagayan de Oro (PMO MOC), in collaboration with partner agencies and stakeholders, conducted a Shipyard Visitation as one of the official activities of this year’s event on September 23, 2025, at the Philippine Iron Construction and Marine Works, Inc. (PICMW).

The weeklong celebration, hosted by the Philippine Ports Authority (PPA) with the theme “Our Ocean, Our Obligation, Our Opportunity,” highlighted the shared responsibility of maritime stakeholders in protecting and maximizing the potential of the country’s seas.

The activity provided participants with firsthand insights into shipyard operations, vessel maintenance, and the vital role these facilities play in sustaining the maritime industry. By showcasing these processes, the initiative fostered a deeper appreciation of maritime services and promoted awareness of their contributions to the local and national economy.
