Company formed
TIV was incorporated by the Compagnia Lavoratori Portuali in 1995 to run the previously multi-purpose terminal at Molo A in Marghera, providing integrated and efficient cargo handling services for the movement of various general and project cargo such as marble blocks, steel products and timber.
Business development
In 2003 TIV was jointly taken over by Mariner and Marinvest as equal shareholders. They have since been extensively promoting the development of the container business at the port establishing TIV as a key player within the container sector in the region. Under the management of Mariner, TIV has demonstrated significant growth as evidenced by its increase in annual volumes and emergence from the economic crisis.
