ITALIA MARITTIMA, a new name for Lloyd Triestino

On 1 March 2006 Lloyd Triestino di Navigazione became Italia Marittima, marking a crucial milestone in the development of the company's brand image at international level. With a modern fleet, including some of the largest containerships plying the seas today, Italia Marittima has considerably expanded its service network, which - under the ITS brand - connects almost every major port around the world. ITS incorporates not only LT's traditional Mediterranean and North European routes to Asia, Africa and Australia but also new Transpacific services connecting Asia with the US West Coast, Canada and the US East Coast through the Panama Canal plus Transatlantic services, inter-European services and regular connections linking the Far East with South Africa and South America's Atlantic ports.

As part of its commitment to customer satisfaction, Italia Marittima guarantees its customers first class services and high performance standards.

The growth of the company's fleet continues with determination. All new deliveries and vessels under its control are named with an ITAL prefix (ITAL UNIVERSO, ITAL GARLAND, etc).

Italia Marittima's fleet is key to all commercial strategies and for this reason it is constantly upgraded: out-of-date and obsolete units are replaced by increasingly modern, fast and large vessels to be used on routes between Europe and China and on the Transpacific services.

The end of 2006 saw the Company's fleet increase to 35 containerships. By April 2007, Italia Marittima deployed 40 vessels - of which nine were owned and 31 chartered - on 20 services worldwide. Growth, in terms of both vessels and service offering, is set to continue further.
