Notes
The office as tribunus fabrum navalium Portensium may not have been specifically connected to the corpus, as Waltzing thought (1895: II, 350-356). No other inscription ever connects a tribunate to a collegium. Most likely the tribuneship was a public office overseeing the shipwrights. For a discussion of his connection to the fabri navales see Tran 2006: 313-314.
 
The way that the 'freedman Calocaerus' is mentioned, without a gentilicium, suggests that he was freedman of the collegium, hence the guild must have owned slaves.

Translation
To Publius Martius Philippus, of the Quirina tribe, curator of the Via Praenestina, former aedilis curulis, former quaestor ab aerario, tribunus of the shipwrights at Portus. The guild of shipwrights of Ostia, to whom permission to convene has been granted by senatorial decree, has set up (this monument) with its own money to its best patron.
Dedicated the third day before the Ides of April, during the consulship of Scapulus Tertullus and Tineius Clemens, under the care of Calocaerus, freedman (of the guild), and Caius Vettius Optatus and Marcus Clodius Minervalis, life-long quinquennales (of the guild).
