Alpina Group started shipping activities in 1984. Alpina Chartering was established by second generation of a shipping family and formed a strategic partnership with Tomini Shipping Ltd. The partnership is based on 45 years of close relations and includes chartering and commercial management of 26 bulk carriers with an average age of about 5 years, 3 kamsarmax, 10 ultramax and 10 handysize with an average age of about 5 years. This platform has given us the opportunity to work on long term Contracts of Affreightment and expand the Tomini/Alpina fleet further with a combination of owned and chartered vessels.
