It is the 30’s Ciro Massimino d’Amico trasforms his timber trading company into a shipping activity and in the 50’s his sons Antonio, Ciro and Salvatore d’Amico create d’Amico Società di Navigazione S.p.A.
In the 60’s and 70’s the business grows and includes the transport of crude oil and refined oil products and the opening of lines to the Americas.

In the mid 80’s Paolo, Ciro’s son, and Cesare, Salvatore’s son, take on the company’s management whilst in the following decade the fleet increases and includes bulk carriers. In 1998 the group acquires Italia di Navigazione S.p.A., consolidating its leadership on the route between the Mediterranean and the Americas. From 2000 on, the group’s international growth leads to the opening of new branches abroad besides the historical one in Rome and the offices in Genoa and Montecarlo.
In 2007 the d’Amico International Shipping, the company that manages the tankers, is listed at the Stock Exchange in Milan.

In 2014 the group starts a massive modernization of its fleet, with investments that bring forward the international standards and confirms the brand’s care for the environment.
Today, with Paolo and Cesare at the helm, the sons are getting ready to manage the company’s future.
