The company Italia Marittima S.p.A., formerly known as Lloyd Triestino di Navigazione, was founded in 1836 and is, to this day, the world’s oldest shipping company still active in the international container transport market. In 1998, the Evergreen Group from Taiwan, ranking sixth globally among container shipping companies, acquired ownership of this company. Prior to that, the company was owned by the state holding company Finmare.
Twenty-five years after the acquisition, the company will celebrate this significant milestone by organizing a special celebratory event to mark this important moment.
