Manila Hub: People-Centric and Sustainable By Design

Fleet Management Limited marks a new chapter in its long-standing presence in the Philippines with the opening of a future-ready office in Pasay City. Designed to put people and sustainability at the core, the new hub combines advanced training, smart workplace features, and green building practices. Strategically located near Manila’s key transport and trade gateways, the office reinforces Fleet’s commitment to Filipino seafarers, while supporting the nation’s maritime ambitions and global shipping needs.

Sustainability and Wellbeing by Design

The office is designed with a people-centric approach, incorporating wellbeing features such as ergonomic workstations, CO₂ air quality monitoring, and access to health and wellbeing resources. Sustainable features include smart energy systems, low-VOC (volatile organic compound) materials, water efficiency measures, waste segregation, and responsible procurement practices. 

These initiatives align with Fleet’s Encompass Strategy and support the Philippines’ national net zero ambitions, demonstrating that business growth and environmental responsibility can go hand in hand.

Strategic Location, Global Relevance

Located in Pasay City, the new office sits at a key transport gateway with direct links to NAIA Terminal 3, Metro Manila, and major global trade routes. Its proximity to the Manila International Container Terminal places Fleet Management close to both clients and seafarers. This investment supports the goals of the Maritime Industry Development Plan (MIDP) 2028. Backed by incentives under the CREATE Act, Manila continues to offer a cost-effective and strategic base for long-term growth. By investing in jobs, training, and wellbeing, Fleet Management is helping to shape a future-ready maritime workforce for decades to come.

Capt. Rajalingam Subramaniam, CEO of Fleet Management Limited, said:

“Our Manila hub strengthens our ability to serve a global fleet today and tomorrow. I am proud of the strong founder-led culture and organisational professionalism that defines Fleet Management. This investment demonstrates the people-first approach which has powered thirty years of progress and continues to fuel our ongoing sustainable growth.”
