Independent fleet-tracking data reviewed for this profile places the company’s owned fleet at roughly a dozen tankers with a combined capacity above 1.2 million DWT.
S.A.M. International Andromeda Shipping’s head office is at Le Gildo Pastor Center, 7 Rue du Gabian, 98000 Monaco, with a secondary crewing and technical office in Mumbai, India. The company holds ISM, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications and applies the Tanker Management and Self Assessment (TMSA) framework, per its official website. In February 2024 International Andromeda Shipping agreed to implement Arribatec Marine’s Infoship fleet-management software for maintenance, procurement and inventory functions across its technically managed vessels, as reported by Smart Maritime Network. Shipping trade press has also reported multiple newbuilding and vessel joint-venture transactions for MR and LR2 tankers between 2019 and 2021. The company’s active registration status does not by itself confirm that it is currently trading.

Shareholders
Shareholders of S.A.M. INTERNATIONAL ANDROMEDA SHIPPING
Monaco does not operate a public shareholder register for sociétés anonymes monégasques. Shareholder and beneficial-ownership records are filed with the Répertoire du Commerce et de l’Industrie (RCI) and the Monaco Register of Beneficial Owners, but public access to this data is restricted, and no shareholder percentages for S.A.M. International Andromeda Shipping are published by the Monaco registry reviewed for this profile.
Independent shipping trade press has reported on the company’s ownership since at least 2017. Splash247 reported that International Andromeda Shipping has been controlled by Giangiacomo Serena di Lapigio and Massimo Filosa, described as the company’s main shareholders, and that on 27 September 2017 Paolo Scerni, head of the Genoa shipowning family business Scerni di Navigazione, acquired a 10% minority shareholding, becoming a partner alongside di Lapigio and Filosa. Paolo Scerni died in a road accident in Italy on 25 March 2021, as separately reported by TradeWinds, The MediTelegraph and Shipping Italy; no subsequent public source reviewed identifies a successor to his reported 10% holding, so the current distribution of that stake is not confirmed.
Data availability
Shareholder disclosure for this company is classified as Restricted. Monaco’s registry framework does not make S.A.M. shareholder registers or beneficial-ownership filings publicly accessible, and the ownership detail above relies on secondary reporting by shipping trade press rather than a primary registry filing or company disclosure. No verified ownership percentage for Giangiacomo Serena di Lapigio or Massimo Filosa was found in any source reviewed, so no ultimate beneficial owner can be identified with a calculable effective percentage.

Group Structure
Group structure of S.A.M. INTERNATIONAL ANDROMEDA SHIPPING
No parent company, subsidiary or ownership linkage for S.A.M. International Andromeda Shipping is recorded in the Monaco registry reviewed for this profile. The company’s own official website describes a secondary office, referred to there as Andromeda Shipping (India) Pvt Ltd, operating from Mumbai, India, and providing crewing and technical support functions. No independent registration number, jurisdiction filing or ownership percentage was found to confirm the precise legal relationship between this Indian office and S.A.M. International Andromeda Shipping, so it is described here as an affiliate rather than a confirmed subsidiary.
Shipping trade press has also reported that International Andromeda Shipping entered a 50/50 vessel-owning joint venture with Singapore-listed Hafnia Limited covering a pair of MR tankers ordered at Hyundai Mipo in 2020, and that Hafnia subsequently exited this joint venture. This is a project-level, asset-owning arrangement tied to specific vessels rather than a corporate parent, subsidiary or sister-company relationship, and no jurisdiction, registration number or ownership percentage for any joint-venture holding entity was found.
Data availability
Corporate-linkage information for this company is classified as Not found for a verified parent or subsidiary structure. The Mumbai office named on the company’s own website is treated as an affiliate in the absence of independent registry confirmation, and the Hafnia vessel joint venture is treated as a commercial or asset-level arrangement rather than a verified group-structure relationship.
