Based in Genoa, Italy, Trafalgar Shipping S.r.l. is a specialized maritime service provider that integrates the roles of shipping agency, shipbroker, and logistics operator. Established in 2005, the company was founded with a specific strategic focus on bridging the commercial gap between the Mediterranean markets and the Far East. Drawing on deep operational experience in Asian shipping hubs, particularly Hong Kong and Shanghai, the firm has developed a niche in managing complex maritime supply chains that connect Europe with India, the Arabian Gulf, and East Asia.
The company’s core identity revolves around its dual function as both a port agent and a commercial operator. As a shipping agent, Trafalgar Shipping S.r.l. maintains an extensive network across major Italian ports, including Naples, Venice, Trieste, and Livorno. In this capacity, it provides husbandry, protective agency, and documentation services, ensuring that vessels calling at Italian terminals undergo efficient turnaround operations. The firm assists diverse vessel types, ranging from dry bulk carriers to tankers, handling critical tasks such as crew changes, customs formalities, and cargo operations oversight.
Beyond local agency work, the company operates as a freight manager and chartering specialist. It has evolved into a ship-operator for voyage and time charter business, specifically organizing breakbulk and parcelling services. This operational arm focuses heavily on the transport of industrial commodities. The company frequently manages the shipment of steel products—such as coils, plates, and wire rods—as well as minerals, iron ore, coal, and project cargo. By consolidating these cargoes, the firm facilitates trade flows between industrial suppliers and buyers across the Black Sea, Mediterranean, and Asian regions.
Trafalgar Shipping S.r.l. also engages in maritime brokerage, negotiating freight rates and charter parties for principals worldwide. Its operational scope extends to handling liquid cargoes, including crude oil and bio-diesel, demonstrating versatility in both wet and dry sectors. Through its presence in Italy and its commercial reach in Asia, the company functions as a vital transport middleman, adding value to the logistics chain by coordinating the ocean transportation of raw materials and heavy machinery.
