COMPANY

LA MERCANTILE SRL was established in 1951 as an independent shipping agency in La Spezia. Since its foundation, the company has been privately owned and is still controlled and managed by the Taliercio family. It was one of the first organizations in Italy to be certified ISO 9001:2008 by the RINA classification society and constantly reflects attention to qualified services.

In recent years, our agency’s activities have grown and developed according to global changes and the general and continuous requests from ship owners. We have expanded our range of services and presently have an independent network of sub-agent offices worldwide, which has led us to become a reliable and trusted partner for our global customers.
