Contship Italia Group

Contship Italia Group is an Italian container terminal operator.

History

Contship, “Container Shipping”, founded by the Italian entrepreneur Angelo Ravano, was specialised in maritime transport and, in particular, container transport. By the end of the Nineties, Contship was a global company with services running to South America, the United States, the Pacific, sub-continental Australia and the Middle East. One of its subsidiaries, Contship Italia, had been active in La Spezia since 1971 where it ran the first Italian private container terminal. In 1997 Contship’s shipping lines were sold to the CP Ships Group (today under the brand Hapag Lloyd) and thus the name Contship Containerlines disappeared. ^{[1] [2]} Contship Italia is still active with its network of maritime container terminals at La Spezia, Gioia Tauro, Cagliari, Ravenna, Salerno and Tangier to serve central Europe’s main industrial and consumptions areas.
