“His longstanding service to the industry and to the country – over a lifetime – with passion, commitment and dedication, is legendary. His professional career has been dedicated to molding the Philippine maritime industry and positioning the Philippines and the Filipino seafarer firmly on the world map.”

Salinas is Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Philippine Transmarine Carriers, Inc. (PTC), which he founded in 1979, and which has grown to be an industry leader and one of the largest crew management companies in the Philippines today, deploying thousands of seafarers annually. Throughout his career, he has actively served on numerous domestic and international maritime associations, educational institutions and government organizations. He has recently been re-elected as Chairman of the Filipino Shipowners Association and as Vice-President of the ISF in London.

Salinas pioneered the employment of full-Filipino crew and pushed for Filipino seafarers to aspire to become Global Maritime Professionals. He has been engaged with both the private sector and the Government to develop the Philippine maritime sector. Salinas was the private sector representative to the Philippine Tripartite delegation for the formulation of the ILO Maritime Labor Convention. He has been working closely with the DOTC in the crafting of the Maritime Code of the Philippines, aimed to further elevate the Philippines’ position of leadership in global shipping.
