The company was founded on October 1, 1976, and its first vessel MV Estrella del Mar transported passengers and cargo, mainly rice, to the neighboring islands. In 1980, the company acquired its first cargo vessel, thus the debut of MV Aleson. The company expanded in the 1980s with more cargo ships, along with voyages to Singapore for trade and commerce purposes. During the 1990s the company concentrated on the passenger and roll-on/roll-off ferry sector. Additional vessels were added to carry more passengers and travel on more routes. In 1994, a new route between Zamboanga Port and Sandakan Port, Malaysia was opened in response to the development of BIMP-EAGA routes. Aleson's MV Danica Joy was one of the first vessels that sailed on this route. In 1999, the company expanded into containerizing cargo, with the addition of new container carriers. The first fast craft of the corporation was bought on 2004 and was named MV Seajet. At present, Aleson operates a fleet of 36 vessels and is the largest shipping operator in Western Mindanao.
