The group story dates back to 1st October 1948 in Le Havre, when Edmond GIRARDET created SOGESTRAN (Société de Gestion et de Transports Fluviaux) : four people and two 320 tons self-propelled tankers.
Over the years, the company steadily grew, first in the Seine Basin with the transport of petroleum products between Le Havre and Paris, then around France’s other navigable basins.
