Navigating Assurance, Excellence, Service and Stewardship

Company Overview

Four Decades of Maritime Excellence 

Naess Shipping Philippines Inc. has built a strong tradition of providing reliable crew management and supporting the long-term success of its clients. More than deploying crews, we create better futures for Filipino seafarers and their families.

Our Beginning

NAESS Shipping Philippines, Inc. was founded on October 24, 1980, starting as a five-person team in a small Malate office. By December of the same year, the company was officially registered and began manning operations with an initial fleet of 25 vessels. Just three years later, NAESS moved into its own office at 2215 Leon Guinto Street, where it remains today. From these humble beginnings, the company has grown into a respected name in the maritime industry — built on professionalism, reliability, and dedication to quality crewing. Over the years, NAESS has earned the trust of principals and seafarers alike, establishing a legacy of service that continues to guide its future.

Growth & Development

Within a decade of its founding, NAESS Shipping Philippines, Inc. had become a trusted name in maritime manning, serving eight principals and over 100 vessels registered with the POEA. This success reflected the industry’s confidence in our professionalism, integrity, and pursuit of excellence. In 1991, we redeveloped our Malate office into a modern four-storey facility, which today stands as a symbol of progress, resilience, and dedication to both principals and seafarers. From humble beginnings to industry recognition, NAESS continues to empower maritime professionals and contribute to the global shipping industry.

Overcoming Challenges

Like many in the maritime industry, NAESS Shipping Philippines, Inc. has faced challenges, including periods of economic instability and global crises. Through adaptability, integrity, and the continued trust of our international principals, what could have been lasting setbacks became temporary hurdles. These partnerships, combined with our resilience, reaffirmed NAESS as a world-class manning agency known for professionalism and purpose.

Innovation & Certification

At NAESS Shipping Philippines, Inc., innovation has always shaped the way we work. As early as 1984, we pioneered computerization to improve efficiency, and today our integrated digital platform gives principals real-time access to crew records and certificates. Certified by DNV for ISO 9001:2000, we uphold international standards of safety, compliance, and client satisfaction. With ongoing investments in technology, quality management, and crew welfare, NAESS remains committed to delivering future-ready maritime manpower solutions.
