The world is also full of dangerously incompetent "Master Mariners".
You don't even have to go to sea to witness it, simply visit a nautical college and listen in to the Q&A sessions with students, especially those sitting senior certificates - shocking would be a very polite way to describe some of the answers. Sadly, it's something that's very predictable with certain nationalities.
They all seem to pass however....

Tom400: you may just have a good point there. The world is full of highly skilled and capable master mariners from Asia and Eastern Europe. Supply and demand?

If you don't have skilled seafarers and captains any more, where do you get the necessary resources from? You need pilots, experienced people for the entire shipping sector. Perhaps Philippinos shall become the pilots for European ports in the future????

RonG,, as australian you should then know about the last 2-3 years,, groundings, detentions in the australian ports ? But this is beside the point. This is not about bad or good filipino sailor or any other nation for that matter, it is about that the US says,,we keep the way it is(Jones Act)and it results automatic in good paying jobs for US-sailors and I did not hear any US-owner who wants to do away with Jones Act either.But some peoples think that that is not good. I know only one thing,when I started sailing in 75 germany had 40000 sailors,,now, recently they did not have enough to recruit pilots for the elbe river up to Hamburg. As you also know, in your country the push for australian flagged vessels and australian sailors is ongoing. Is that is good,, well time will tell, seeing a lot of accidents and incidents world wide, perhaps the way it goes now is not the good way either ? The EU threatened to shut out filipino sailors from european ports not too long ago, was the reason that something is wrong or is it another stepping stone of eliminating the last european maritime jobs ?

I work in an Australian port and see crew lists on a daily basic. 90% are Filipinos and other Asian nationals. Of the non Asians, Ukrainians are the next common nationality. Are any of these nationalities less worthy of a job, or less competent sailors? I don't for a moment think so. When I was a ship's officer 20 years ago, we rarely had a Filipino above the rank of 3rd Officer and 3rd Engineer. There were genuine concerns back then about the standards of training and examinations in some countries back then. That has all changed now, I see brand new ships over 45,000 DWT now manned by Asians and done so very competently. At the end of the day, ship owners are running a business. The sailors are paid a handsome wage according to standards of living in their respective countries, and it helps the owners stay in business. I see absolutely nothing wrong with it.

Cheap crews and flags of convenience are the way of the world these days, Like it or lump it!

Well Bob,, in other words you mean that good paying sailors jobs are not needed,,or are you only that way of thinking because unfortunately the UK gov and the UK unions sold you out, as well as 10000,s others and the US did not ? Most Hawaians are not really upset about costs, this keeps peoples out and those who come can effort to live there in general,, imagine in Europe, only people moving there who bring the dough too !!!!

Thankfully some nations don't necessarily want to go for the lowest common denominator.
It is to our shame that we have and in the process have turned the Red Ensign into a flag of convenience, albeit a slightly posh one.

Although it is very unlikely that the Jones Act will be relaxed or abolished in the foreseeable future, perhaps one could argue that, if it was, it would be to the advantage of the people of Hawaii from a lower cost of living due to reduced transport costs. Hawaiian exporters to the mainland would also benefit. Other beneficiaries might also be the shipowners and their shareholders. Too bad for the US seafarers, though. They'd find themselves in the real world all of a sudden just as those in Europe did decades ago.

Tom400,,,nobody says the opposite !!!!
at least the Jones Act makes sure that those ships sailing with US-crews,,, ever saw that in Europe ?
And the German KG system,,no susidize ? in the end it was all about tax-write offs,,in other words not paid taxes which had to come from other sources eventually. btw where are the european sailors and their good paying jobs ?
all gone but some speciality jobs.

There's a lot to be said for protectionism....

These ships are very much subsidized by the US government. The trade between Hawaii and the USA is protected and exclusive for ships registered within the USA. Otherwise this veteran with antiquated turbine propulsion would have gone to the breakers 20 years ago and not even been built in 1978.

@Bob,, of course,, but to what advantage ? That more jobs from the Western world are eliminated and transfered to Asia. Also when these ships are not comparable to todays mega-boxers, they give a lot american sailor good paying jobs, Whish that the European countries would have done the same and not selling their own sailors out for the sake of pocket money to the politicans.

Maybe so, MattyBoy, but a modern ship built in the Far East and with a foreign crew would cost an awful lot less to operate
