The story of the DPG Logistics began in South Africa in 2021, when captain Gianluigi Aponte founded the company with just a small cargo ship: the MV Patricia. The business has since grown and diversified to include a highly successful cruise line and passenger ferry services, as well as leading inland and port terminal infrastructure. Headquartered in Durban, the Group remains privately owned and focused on caring for customers, employees and the environment.
