Founded in Crotone in the 1980s by engineer Carlo Tricoli, son of shipowner and shipping agent Giuseppe, Carmar S.r.l. continues a family business that has been operating since the beginning of the 20th century, working with great quality and expertise in the wholesale trade of petroleum products and in the yachting industry.
CARMAR offers a wide range of services, first of all bunkering, supply of diesel, lubricating oils and yacht assistance.
The company owns three fuel depots in the port of Crotone and is active in both the Porto Vecchio (Molo Sud) and Porto Nuovo (Molo Giunti) docks, where it can accommodate, refuel and service vessels and pleasure boats of all sizes. CARMAR's tankers depart from here to supply ships, companies and businesses in the area.
In fact, in August 2009, Carmar S.r.l. has built a new national diesel depot and activated a mooring point with a modern dock for the services of reception, refueling and yacht assistance on the Molo Giunti, inside the Porto Nuovo, anticipating the process of industrial restructuring and tourist conversion that will bring soon the long-awaited development of the new Marina di Crotone.
The main objective of the CARMAR Group is to ensure the utmost satisfaction of its customers, partners and guests by providing the quickest and most qualified assistance for all necessary requests on board.
The mission is to advance together.
Carmar S.r.l. it is inextricably linked to the family of its founder: Carlo Tricoli.
The Tricoli family, since the nineteenth century with the Cav. Giovanni Tricoli (1860 - 1948) and his brothers, played a central role in the development of Crotone and its Port.
In fact the company Carmar S.r.l. has its roots in the distant 1937, when the city of Crotone began to structure itself to become one of the main industrial and port centers of the South and of the entire Italian peninsula.
Among the countless entrepreneurial initiatives launched by the Tricoli family, the main ones developed in the maritime and production sector, in shipbuilding and tourism.
The '900 also ran fast in Crotone, between large projects and strong economic growth, thanks in particular to the initiative and excellent work done by entrepreneurial groups, among which the F.lli Tricoli, Giovanni's heirs, played a central role.
Among these was the Cav. Giuseppe Tricoli, who also developed the marketing of diesel fuel among his various work activities.
Just in the middle of the last century, in 1954, was born Carlo, the youngest son of Giuseppe Tricoli.
After completing his university studies in engineering, Carlo returned to Crotone and founded Carmar S.r.l. with his wife Maria in 1985 in the footsteps of his father's business, and Catrol S.r.l. with other partners.
The company immediately focuses on the wholesale trade of petroleum products, consolidating itself as a solid reality in the Crotone and Calabria area.
In addition to supplying important companies and industrial groups with their own tankers, Carmar S.r.l. for an innate vocation and for its strategic position, it offers services to the fleet and to the boats settled or in transit from the Port of Crotone. Military and commercial ships regularly refuel at Carmar S.r.l. as well as the yachts of that time, which with their 20 - 25 meters of length appeared like real luxury ships.
In the 90s and with the beginning of the new millennium Carmar S.r.l. continues to grow its business, making internal processes more efficient and extending its sales network.
Between 2006 and 2010, Carmar S.r.l. acquired another fuel oil depot in the Porto Vecchio of Crotone, and a few years later, in 2009, it inaugurated a new and modern commercial fuel oil depot on Molo Giunti, in the Porto Nuovo of Crotone, finally allowing new yachts, today's superyachts that now exceed even 100 metres in length, to be supplied and serviced to high quality standards.
The Company thus begins to develop even more accurately the branch of maritime agency and concierge services for its many guests. Meanwhile, after completing the university studies of business administration and international management, in 2013 enters in the Carmar team Marco Tricoli, son of the owner Carlo.
At the end of 2018, after three years of waiting, Carmar S.r.l. obtained from the Port Authority the extension of its concession of the commercial diesel depot at Molo Giunti in the New Port, and began work in 2019 on the creation of a real mooring point for yachts and superyachts, paving the way for the development of Crotone's marina, which will finally lead the Pythagorean city to become a tourist and central port hub in the Mediterranean Sea.
Thanks to an increasingly large and qualified network of collaborators, from 2019/2020 the Carmar company will offer specialised agency and general assistance services to foreign military ships engaged in the FRONTEX mission throughout Southern Italy, taking care of all the ships' needs in all the ports of the South.
At the end of 2021 Carmar launches the brand ITA Yachting, network specialising in the management of yachts along all Italian coasts and ports.
After a long partnership period, Carmar took over the concession of the new Marina Tricoli in Crotone's Porto Vecchio in 2022, managing 100 berths up to 40m.
In 2023, Carmar built the new piers of the Port of Catanzaro and in July of the same year officially opened the management of the new mooring point with 180 berths in the Catanzaro Marina.
From March 2025, Carmar will enter the port of Italy's capital city: Rome, becoming the new fuel station operator in the Porto Turistico di Roma. A service station with a storage capacity of 80,000 litres to serve yachts up to 55 metres long.
