AUGUSTEA GROUP SRL.

The funnel follows Augusteo on 28 June 2006. It may be an earlier version dating to Augustea Imprese Marittime, but that is not established.

The funnel and flag follow Carlo Magno on 5 July 2006. The flapping flag may not be depicted entirely correctly. A Letojanni photograph supplies a starboard view.

Cape’s portside and Pina Cafiero’s starboard photographs show mirrored markings: the straighter side of A slopes with the funnel and faces forward on both sides, unlike versions with one vertical side. A later Apostolos starboard photograph supports this.

Augustea’s harbour towage began at Augusta in 1955; Augustea Group Srl. is dated to 1988. Earlier Augustea companies were reorganised, with the Augustea SpA fleet absorbed by Imprese Marittime in 1985–86 and divided in 1992 between Augusta Offshore and Augustea Imprese Marittime e di Salvataggio. The source contains a 1970–71 listing beside an asserted 1973 formation. Augustea Ship Management was formed in 1996. The group acquired a controlling interest in Marifran Internacional through Augustea Finance on 7 July 2000 and bought Anchor Marine Transportation in May 2004. The latter, formed in January 1994 at Farnham, operated deep-sea barges with AMT names.
