Genoa – The fleet of the Genoese shipping company Carboflotta is preparing to lose a ship shortly but from next year there will be a new one that will enter technical management. This was announced in this interview with SHIPPING ITALY by the full top management of the company made up of Enrico and Giovanni Filippi, Enrico Telesio, and the managing director Michele Bogliolo. Shipping Italy stated
“We have just signed an agreement for the sale of the Marigola ship, one of our handysize LPG tankers which by the end of July will be delivered in the port of Cristobal to the Hamilton Shipping company and will pass under the Liberian flag.
The selling price is 8.4 million dollars ”reveals Enrico Filippi, specifying that the acquiring company should be controlled by Turkish interests. Twin of Pertusola (for which divestiture is not in the pipeline having a time charter contract until 2024 with Geogas),
Marigola was built and delivered in 1999 to Carboflotta by the Sestri Ponente shipyard (Genoa) and has a capacity of 18,000 cubic meters for the transport of LPG gas such as butane and propane.
According to Enrico Telesio, Carboflotta does not completely exclude but considers unlikely, a future diversification of shipping activities in the field of liquefied natural gas despite the fact that in the past the group was the manager of Eni’s fleet of gas carriers for a decade.
In 2021, the turnover of the company controlled by the Telesio and Filippi families stood at around 39.5 million euros, and in 2022 (considering the proceeds from the sale of the Marigola ship) it should remain over 38 million euros.
