Two offices in Libya, one in Tripoli and one in Misrata,
The Tarros Group has two offices in Libya, one in Tripoli and one in Misrata, where dedicated staff provide on-site commercial and operational assistance. "This widespread presence throughout the country allows us to support Italian operators in managing procedures related to the new regulations of the Libyan Ministry of Economy and Trade, recently suspended by the authorities, which will govern authorized banking channels for import/export transactions in the future." The Tarros stated

A new version of the Italy-Libya service
Valentina De Bernardi, Chief Commercial Officer of Tarros, commented: "The need to create a new version of the Italy-Libya service stems from operational needs but has significant commercial and business implications. Our in-depth knowledge of the country and its strategic importance for trade relations with Italy supports the new challenge the Group has undertaken. The express service connects Italy with Libya even more quickly and frequently to meet the growing demand for transport. High quality standards, dedicated customer care, and service flexibility: these are the key features of this line, which fits perfectly with the connections the Group offers its customers every day."

A very particular geopolitical and commercial meaning
On the other hand the new maritime line takes on a very particular geopolitical and commercial meaning: it marks in all respects the reopening of the Libyan market also from Southern Europe as well as from the areas beyond Suez, market in which Ignazio Messina & C. has a historical presence, the north-bound connection between Egypt and Italy is reactivated, the traffic between Alexandria and Benghazi will also be developed, Finally, through the hubs of Alexandria and Genoa Libya and Egypt will also be connected with all other markets served by Ignazio Messina & C.
With the opening of this service Infra-Mediterranean
In contemporaneous with the opening of this service Infra-Mediterranean, the Messina will begin to scale the port of Alexandria in north-bound with the ships of the service Middle-East offering a direct port of call for the coming traffics from the regions of India, Pakistan, UAE and Saudi Arabia. The group, on the same service, will scale also the ports of Malta and Augusta as "private call".
