Our History
Our journey started in 2016 when E.R. Group and Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement (BSM) collaborated with partners in the Philippines to establish E.R. Crew Management (Philippines) Corp, a manning agency based in Manila.
In 2018, the company was renamed Zeaborn Marine Services (Philippines) Corp, a manning agency and service provider for Zeaborn Ship Management.
In 2023, Zeaborn Marine Services (Philippines) Corp. marked its independence and moved out of the BSM House.
In 2024, we became a part of Wilhelmsen Ship Management and rebranded ourselves as WilhMar Manning Phillipines, Inc.
Founded on a legacy of excellence, WilhMar serves global shipping companies with a highly trained pool of approximately 2,000 seafarers.
