Later, the business was moved due to a more favorable tax system for doing business.

In October 2014, Gianluigi's son, Diego Aponte, who at that time held the position of vice president, took over the company, becoming its president and CEO. A distinctive feature of the company is the corporate family culture and values that remain unchanged throughout the history of the company's development, from an ordinary ship operator to one of the leading shipping companies in the world. 

From the first day of operation, the company followed the philosophy of "We move together with the client", and it was this approach to business that ensured its development and prosperity over the next forty years.

This is an example of the manifestation of true devotion, so rare in the field of logistics.
