OUR STORY
The historic tale of JB Sorotto begins not in Malta (as you might expect), but the Greek Island of Santorini.
It all started with the birth of a man named John Basil Sorotto, born into a Venetian family residing in Santorini sometime in the mid 1800’s.
For young John Basil, the quirks of island life defined his childhood, and he grew up with a sense of the sea running through his veins. In time, it seemed only natural that he should forge a seabound career, so John Basil become a ship owner and wheat merchant. What began as modest tradesmanship allowed John Basil to travel far, and he brought his business to the black sea, operating in the Ukrainian port city of Odessa.
Port Agency and Husbandry
Shipping is demanding, alive and constantly in motion. To handle the varied requirements and specific challenges of the industry, it’s important that we’re creative and diligent in our approach.
Here at JB Sorotto, we’ve developed a strategy that sees us work harmoniously with the ships’ captain, crew and management, to respond to every requirement with efficiency and impact.
