TUI AG
Previously owned by the Italian government, the company was privatized in 1998 when sold to "d'Amico Società di Navigazione". In August 2002, it was acquired by CP Ships, and in 2005 the "Italian Line" name ceased to exist following CP's one-brand strategy. CP Ships itself was bought-out in late 2005 by TUI AG, and merged with Hapag-Lloyd in mid-2006.
