History
Cokaliong Shipping Lines, Inc. was organized in 1989 and is one of the youngest shipping companies established in the Philippines. It is an offshoot of Chester Enterprises, Inc., a textile and ready-to-wear enterprise started in 1969. The owners diversified into the shipping business in the burgeoning Cebu region. It acquired a new vessel from Japan in 1998 and christened it into the M/V Filipinas Ozamis.
Through the years, Cokaliong has grown to become one of the shipping lines in the Philippines providing inter-island passenger and cargo services specializing in the Visayas and Mindanao routes. In May 2012, the company acquired from Japan a 3,000-ton, 850-passenger vessel, its 9th.[1]
In March 9, 2013, the line opened its 13th port of call with the opening of Cebu-Nasipit route served by the newly acquired 3,086-ton vessel imported from Japan.[2][3]
