Despite its parent's coronavirus lockdown, d’Amico International Shipping (DIS) has presented a bullish business outlook following its most profitable quarter in three years.

The Milan-listed product tanker arm of Italian owner d’Amico Group has maintained normal business operations, with a work-from-home policy and robust overseas functions, according to chairman and chief executive Paolo d’Amico.

“Basically in Italy, we are all working from home … With the technology we have today, that is not an issue,” d’Amico told TradeWinds from his home in the Italian countryside.
