Contship, through its subsidiary Sogemar, has signed an agreement to acquire the Tarros Group, a leading maritime transport and integrated logistics operator in the Mediterranean.

The agreement forms part of Contship’s growth strategy, aimed at strengthening its market position and further integrating its service offering. The complementary activities and distinctive expertise of the two organisations, together with a focus on continuity, provide a solid basis for a shared vision for long-term growth. The aim is to develop a new integrated logistics platform in the Euro-Mediterranean region and create new opportunities along logistics corridors between Europe, the Mediterranean and North Africa.

With 751 employees and an established customer base of 2,700, the Group connects Europe with countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea through a network spanning 16 countries and 31 ports, serving markets with a combined population of more than 500 million people.

The agreement covers the acquisition of the Tarros Group as a whole, including the activities and assets that make up its integrated service offering. These include Tarros S.p.A. and its foreign subsidiaries, Terminal del Golfo S.p.A., Car Box S.r.l., Compagnia Marittima Servizi S.r.l. and Med Logistics Malta Ltd.
