The Port of Dapitan started as one of the sub-ports of the Port Management Unit (PMU) of Zamboanga in 1977, at the time when the Philippine Ports Authority (PPA) took over the port operations, development, and management from the Bureau of Customs. As the port was originally known as Pulauan Port, the Local Government of Dapitan through their Sangguniang Bayan passed Resolution No. 26-1999 renaming the port as Port of Dapitan. It would later be reclassified as Terminal Management Office of Dapitan (TMO-Dapitan) under the Port Management Office of Zamboanga (PMO-Zamboanga), Port District Office of Southern Mindanao (PDO-Southern Mindanao).

TMO-Dapitan's administrative jurisdiction was transferred to the Port Management Office of Ozamiz (PMO-Ozamiz) under the Port District Office of Northern Mindanao (PDO-Northern Mindanao) in 1995. In 2008, TMO-Dapitan was reclassified as Port Management Office of Dapitan (PMO-Dapitan), but at that time had no terminal port under its jurisdiction. In 2009, the jurisdiction of ten government ports and two private ports were transferred to PMO-Dapitan from PMO-Ozamiz; and PMO-Dapitan was transferred back to PDO-Southern Mindanao. [2]
