The All-Japan Seamen's Union (JSU) and the International Mariners Management Association of Japan (IMMAJ) has partnered with MAAP to build a second facility within the academy grounds, the JSU-IMAAJ Campus.

The Maritime Academy of Asia and the Pacific (MAAP) was established on January 14, 1998, at Kamaya Point, Alas-asin, Mariveles, Bataan, in an 18-hectare (44-acre) land.

The two campuses are located on Kamaya Point Road, on the southern slope of Mount Mariveles near the shore of Manila Bay facing Corregidor Island.

The MAAP training dock is located at the end of Kamaya Point Road on the shore of the North Channel entrance of Manila Bay.

The TS Kapitan Felix Oca was launched by NKK Corporation as MS Seiun Maru in July 1968 in Yokohama, Japan.
