COMPANY HISTORY

ASM-ISNTC traces its roots through the history of cooperation between its German and Filipino owners.

In 1986, the German partners contracted the services of a crew management company to provide Filipino officers and crew through a Filipino owned manning agency.

By 1988 the German partners had established Intership Navigation and worked with the future Filipino partners in a direct Principal-Agent arrangement. This created a closer, more productive relationship among the parties.

In 1993 the general plan for a cadet program was drafted and implemented in 1994 with modest goals. The initial cadet program was conducted with basic resources. The cadet program was to set the terms of cooperation between the German and Filipino partners characterized by long term planning, emphasis in internal resources and critical assessment.

The success of the program brought about increasing investments in training by the German partners that logically brought about the establishment of Intership Navigation Training Center in April 1998.

Within a year, increasing business volume and need for more investment led to a formal joint venture for a crewing agency among the Filipino and German partners.

In 2002, Associated Ship Management Services, Inc. was incorporated, a joint venture of equals - the German partners committed to making the Philippines the prime source of crew vis a vis the Filipino partners providing acumen in Human Resource Management to develop professional and highly motivated Filipino Officers and Crew. It was a critical and strategic partnership aimed to benefit not only the partners but the seamen as well.
