Our Story

From Batangas to Mindoro, and onward

Montenegro Shipping Lines traces its beginnings to 1978, when it began serving the Batangas City–Abra de Ilog connection. What started as a service linking Batangas and Mindoro developed over the succeeding decades into a broader domestic shipping operation serving passengers, vehicles, cargo, and island communities.
