𝐋𝐎𝐎𝐊: Coast Guard Station Antique, through Coast Guard Sub-Station Caluya successfully conducted the 𝙎𝙖𝙛𝙚𝙩𝙮, 𝙎𝙚𝙘𝙪𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙀𝙣𝙫𝙞𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙡 𝙉𝙪𝙢𝙗𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 (𝙎𝙎𝙀𝙉) 𝙎𝙮𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙢 on motorbancas operating in Brgy. Poblacion, Caluya, Antique today, 14 May 2026.

The activity is part of the continuing maritime regulatory and safety initiatives aimed at strengthening vessel monitoring and ensuring that watercrafts are properly identified, accounted for, and compliant with maritime safety standards.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗦𝗦𝗘𝗡?
The Safety, Security and Environmental Numbering (SSEN) System is a maritime identification and monitoring mechanism that assigns a unique number to motorbancas. This system serves as an official reference for each vessel, enabling authorities to easily identify, track, and validate compliance records of watercraft operating within the area of responsibility.

The SSEN system is designed to improve coordination between maritime enforcement units and local stakeholders by ensuring that all registered vessels are properly documented and visible in the maritime safety database.

During the conduct of the activity, Coast Guard personnel affixed and recorded the SSEN marking on the motorbanca while also providing reminders to the operator regarding compliance with safety regulations and responsible maritime operations.

Coast Guard Station Antique emphasized that the SSEN System will continue to be implemented across coastal municipalities as part of its commitment to safer seas, stronger maritime security, and environmental protection.

Maritime stakeholders are encouraged to support and comply with the SSEN System as part of collective efforts to ensure safe and secure maritime transport.
