    “Building the confidence of our principals, fostering a home for our seafarers.”Southfield Agencies was established in 1993 as licensed manning agency by the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration. Southfield was tasked to provide crew to its parent company, Southwest Maritime Corp. of Manila, which had acquired LPG Carriers, and to Patt Manfield & Co., Ltd. of Hong Kong for their Open Hatch (Gantry Crane) Carriers. Over the past 29 years, Southfield has grown to handle 18 principals from different countries with more than 270 vessels.Here at Southfield, we are dedicated to constantly improving the quality of the pool of officers and crew. This is an ongoing commitment that requires systematic and sustained effort from the manning company, the ship manager and the each of the company’s seafarer. This is done either by providing further training to the crew, improving the quality management system of the training center and the manning agency, and creating a pool of future officers and seafarers.
