IFS has opened a modern Training & Hospitality Facility in the Philippines, focused on developing the next generation of maritime galley professionals. The new centre combines hands-on culinary training with innovative technologies, including AI-supported learning tools and sustainability practices, helping future ship cooks gain the practical skills needed for life at sea.

The facility also reflects IFS’s strong commitment to crew welfare and professional development, offering opportunities for individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds to build careers in the maritime industry. Together with Carisbrooke Shipping, IFS will continue working to strengthen training and support for galley teams throughout 2026 and beyond.
