History

            Adfil Shipmanning and Management Corporation (ADFIL) is an entity organized under the laws of the Republic of the Philippines. It was granted its license to operate by the Securities and Exchange Commission, a government organization having competent supervisory authority over the company, on August 25, 2003. Operated by its new owners on October 18, 2007 headed by its late president Capt. Nilo V. Du. Its office is located near the place called the "Luneta", a rendezvous of seafarers and recruiters.

            Its primary purpose is to own and operate ocean-going vessels and to provide complete marine services to ship owners or principals.

            The company started operating with only two vessels owned by its principal, Kyowa Sansho Co., Ltd. Since the start of operation, the chain of close relationship and mutual understanding has continued to bind Kyowa Sansho and Adfil. For this reason and coupled with trust and confidence, the principal entrusted the company additional vessels for manning & management.
