In 1946, Antonio C. Delgado
together with brothers Jose and Francisco,
introduced an innovative and enterprising concept
called "Caltex Floating Station," which provided a
more systematic method of servicing the fuel and
water ships docked in Manila Bay. By 1949, a new
company called Delgado Brothers, Inc., or DELBROS
was established.

DELBROS was awarded the
right to operate the Port of Manila arrastre
service. Significantly, it was also at this time

which finally mechanized operations in the Port of

War, DELBROS was also the country's largest military
mover.
