ABOUT US Home > About Us HISTORY Carbofin S.p.A., parent company and holding of the Group, was established as a shipping company in the late fifties and has owned several different types of ships (bulk carriers, oil tankers, product tankers, chemicals, gas carriers, supply vessels etc.) through its different operating companies. Over the years, the Group has progressively specialized in the gas sector, and today it owns and manages a fleet of LPG tankers, operating mainly in Central America, Brazil and the United States. The Company, with a long tradition in shipowning and a particularly service-oriented management, has now all the synergies and skills necessary to meet the requirements of international partners. Carbofin directly manages and controls every aspect of the shipping business, from the technical management of the ship, to the crews and the financial, commercial and operational management. TIMELINE 1910 – 1955 The shipping business, founded by Senator Giovanni Battista Bibolini in 1910, was split in 1954 between four families: Telesio, Lolli Ghetti, Bibolini and Cao di San Marco. Initially, the Telesio and Lolli Ghetti families jointly operated a fleet composed of three tankers and four bulk carriers. Then, three new tankers with a gross capacity of 18,000 tons were ordered in a joint venture with the VAN OMMEREN Group and later three more bulk carriers with a deadweight of 25,000, 35,000 and 45,000 tons respectively. 1910 1965 1968 1975 1983 1984 THE HISTORICAL FLEET Access the archive of the past vessels.
