Named after Rigel — the brightest navigation star in the Orion constellation that has guided seafarers for centuries — we engineer modern digital fleet intelligence built from real-world Philippine maritime deck and engine room experience.
Our Vision
A Philippine maritime industry where every seafarer is trained to world standard and every vessel is run on clear, reliable information.
We see Filipino officers who have handled cargo, ballast, ECDIS and radar on a realistic simulator long before they take charge on board — and fleets where ship and shore share the same accurate picture of every voyage, so decisions are made early, safely and with confidence.
World-Class Filipino Seafarers: Hands-on cargo, ballast, ECDIS and radar training within reach of every cadet, officer and maritime school, wherever they are.
A Strong Safety Culture: Fewer incidents and port detentions through well-practised procedures and sound ISM Code compliance.
Cleaner, Efficient Voyages: Less fuel waste and lower emissions through accurate figures, good trim and careful voyage planning.
Our Mission
To build practical, affordable training and fleet tools — made by seafarers, for seafarers — that turn complex shipboard work into skills and decisions people can trust.
We put a full tanker cargo control room, ECDIS and ARPA radar on the computers and tablets that schools and seafarers already own, and we give ship and shore simple, standardised tools for soundings, reports and compliance — built for Philippine conditions, working offline, and priced within reach.
Realistic Training: Simulators that behave like the real plant — valves, pumps, stability and the collision rules — so what is practised ashore works on board.
Accuracy & Transparency: Correct sounding, trim and laytime figures that owners, charterers and crews can all rely on.
Practical by Design: Easy to learn, works offline, runs on everyday devices, and supported directly by the people who built it.
Guiding Core Values
Practical Seamanship
Built from hands-on tanker and vessel experience. We solve the real challenges faced in bilges, cargo holds, and bridge watches.
Offline-First Engineering
Reliability where it matters most. Bridge operations continue uninterrupted in remote waters, syncing automatically in port.
Integrity & Truth
Mathematically uncompromised bunker accounting, certified logs, and transparent dual-party reporting protecting all stakeholders.
Seafarer Welfare & Safety
Ensuring full compliance with STCW, ISM, and MLC frameworks to safeguard seafarer livelihoods and vessel seaworthiness.

A Note from Our Founder
“Domestic shipping is the beating heart of Philippine commerce, connecting over 7,000 islands daily. Having spent a decade serving on tanker vessels and managing superintendency across domestic fleets, I founded Rigel Marine Solution to address the exact bottlenecks that burden shipboard officers and shore management: manual tape errors, fragmented reporting, and compliance risks. Our mission is to give Philippine fleet operators the precision tools they deserve — affordable, dependable, and built for our waters.”

Prices are in Philippine pesos. A licence starts when its key is issued and ends on the date shown with the key. Payments are for the period bought; tell us within 7 days if a key does not work and we will replace it or refund you.
Licence agreement — M/T KEN VILLAMOR Simulator
The simulator is licensed, not sold. A key lets the licence holder named on it use the simulator on the agreed number of devices until the key’s end date.
You may not copy, share, resell, rent, publish or upload the simulator, its files, screens or keys, or let anyone else use your key.
You may not change, decompile or reverse-engineer the simulator, or remove or get around the licence check, the copyright notices or the licence watermark.
Certificates and records are training records of the licence holder. The simulator is a training aid; it does not replace approved sea service, official assessments or a ship’s own procedures.
The simulator is provided as it is, for training. Rigel Marine Solution is not responsible for decisions taken on a real ship.
If these terms are broken, the licence ends at once. Rigel Marine Solution may cancel the key and take action under the Intellectual Property Code of the Philippines (Republic Act 8293).
Privacy policy
We follow the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act 10173). Rigel Marine Solution is the personal information controller.
What we collect
Account: your name, email, mobile number, school or company and account type, when you create an account.
Payments: the plan, amount and payment reference you send us. We never ask for card numbers or wallet PINs.
Licences: your licence keys, their end dates, and a random device code for each device that activates a key (to apply the device limit). No other data about your device is collected.
Messages you send us by email, SMS, Viber or WhatsApp. The contact form only opens your own email app or WhatsApp; the website does not send or store it.
How we use it
Only to issue and renew licences, check payments, give support and send renewal reminders. We do not sell or rent your data and we do not use advertising trackers.
Where it is kept
Accounts and licences are stored with Google Firebase (Google Cloud), which keeps them secure and encrypted. Passwords are handled by Google — we never see them. Training records made in the simulator stay on your own device.
Your rights
You can see and edit your details under My account. To get a copy of your data, correct it, or delete your account, email operations@rigelmarinesolution.com — we answer within 15 days. You may also contact the National Privacy Commission (privacy.gov.ph).
Children
Accounts are for students of maritime schools, seafarers, schools and companies. A student under 18 should use an account managed by their school.
