D'Alesio Group

The Group was founded more than seventy years ago by the Cavaliere del lavoro* Gaetano D’Alesio (*Honorary Knighthood for services to the industry). His sons Antonio and Nello continue to run the firm with the collaboration of the third generation represented by Gaetano, Antonio, Mauro, Francesco and Elisa. The Group’s activities are based on maritime shipping and associated services. The maritime transportation is carried out by the ships of the Company fleet. The associated activities consist of the storage handling of oil products as well as the marketing of pro-bunker products.

The D'Alesio Group fleet is made up of tankers that cover a wide range of commercial demands with tonnage up to 50.000 T.P.L. and provide services of a high technical standard throughout the world. The accurate maintenance and the continuous renewal aimed at ensuring the use of the best technologies available are the characteristics that distinguish the fleet. Since 1996, the attention we have given to issues regarding navigation safety and environmental pollution prevention has placed us amongst the first shipping companies in the Italian market to hold certifications which fully comply with the International Safety Management Code (ISM). In this regard, we have developed our safety and security policies and procedures, which are continuously updated and revised in accordance with national and international obligations. The careful personnel selection and the continuous monitoring of the proper application of the Company procedures ensure a high operational standard with respect to safety, security and the marine environment. 

Together with the companies, Costieri D'Alesio S.p.A. and Toscopetrol S.p.A. , the D'Alesio Group is a presence in the port of Livorno.

Their overall storage capacity is approximately 250.000 cubic metres and is capable of receiving the entire range of oil products, including lubricants and bitumen. These installations are used to:

• meet the commercial needs of the Group, and particularly the direct sales of bunker products to the ships;
• store, handle and supply, on behalf of the major oil companies that operate in Italy, the products for the clientele, which go from the petrol (gas) stations to the industries all the way to domestic heating plants;
• supply the thermo electrical power stations on the Tyrrhenian coast.

Furthermore, the D'Alesio Group operates out of the port of Livorno with the Sintermar S.p.A. terminal, which  covers a privately owned surface of 120.000 sq. metres and can carry out all the cargo loading, unloading and storage activities of containers and of various incoming and outgoing goods.
