KestrelMare – New Heavy Lift Joint Venture Formed Within Harren Group for Italian and Mediterranean Projects

In exciting news from Italy, Harren Group has joined forces with Kestrel Italia and Intermare to found KestrelMare in Genoa!

Specialising in both port operations and commercial services, the new joint venture is the new one-stop shop for all types of project and heavy lift cargo in Italy and the Mediterranean.

KestrelMare is operating as a new brand, offering maritime services and tailor-made solutions to its customers. The new joint venture has access to a globally unique fleet of heavy lift vessels – including the JSI Alliance fleet (65 ships).

Marco Campodonico, Stefania Morasso, Guglielmo Viola and Adolfo Herrero (from left to right) make up KestrelMare’s Management Team.

“KestrelMare is taking over all Intermare and Kestrel Italia business units, merging them under one brand,” explains Adolfo Herrero, General Manager at Kestrel Italia. “The new team combines experienced staff from both former companies, allowing us to offer much broader, more dedicated support to all our customers.”

“Italy is a market with a very bright future for the project and heavy lift industries. We’ve seen great potential there for a long time,” explains Harren Group CEO Dr Martin Harren. “Establishing KestrelMare is such an important strategic step for us. It provides new perspectives and opportunities in Italy and the entire Mediterranean region.”
Harren continues: “We’re already very familiar with Kestrel. For many years, they were the Italian agent for our friends and partners at Jumbo. KestrelMare is a real powerhouse in the international shipping industry – making the joint venture between the three brands a perfect match. All three companies have a long, shared past. Now, they can look forward to a bright future together.”
