With the slogan "We did it all together"Mediterranean Shipping Company celebrates its 50th anniversary. The folded paper boat symbolizes the dream of a small child, which has come true and transformed into the greatest adventure and enterprise the history of shipping has ever seen.
Founded in 1970 as a private company by Captain Gianluigi Aponte, when he purchased his first ship, the Sorrento shipowner began trading various products with Africa. In 1988, with the acquisition of the Lauro Fleet, a subsidiary cruise line, MSC Cruises, was established. By the late 1990s, MSC had become an expanding maritime company, emerging in the shipping market as a dynamic player with a strong focus on the containerized transport system.
