Marnavi was founded in 1910 by Dominico Ievoli and is
currently chaired by the founder's grandson, Domenico. The
company operates 27 ships, including 12 petrochemical tankers,
all with "Ievoli" in their name and 8 ships for
transporting food products (oil, water, wine) to and from the
Italian islands.
The house flag of Marnavi, shown as a graphic on the front page
of the company
website, is a red pennant with a white cross charged in the
middle with a blue anchor and in upper hoist with a blue
"I." (for "Ievoli").
The "Ievoli Sun" sank on 30 October 2000 north of the
island of Batz, Northern Brittany, causing a limited pollution by
styrene. The incident happened one year after the
"Erika" oil spill and highlighted the risk to the
environment represented by the chemical tankers, as well as the
lack of knowledge on the bahviour and impact of chemical
pollutant on sea life.

It is a commercial name of joint Italian companies. As stated
in D'Amico company site: <www.damicoship.com>:
"The company presently handles two regular shipping lines.
The first one - dealing only with container transportation - is
operated together with Italia di Navigazione S.p.A. of Genoa and
carries the commercial name of "Med Pacific Express"
using four container vessels, two employed by d'Amico and two by
Italia di Navigazione. This liner service is performed between
the Mediterranean area, Central America and the North Pacific
(Venezuela, Mexico, U.S.A. and Canada). From April 1996 the
service has been extended to the Coasts of the South Pacific
using two feeder vessels: one of d'Amico, the other one of Italia

The "Ministerio dei Lavori Pubblici" is the
Ministery of Civil Engineering. The "Servizio Escavazione
Porti" seems to be the Department of Port Excavation. I
don't know if "Escavazione" shall be understood as the
excavation of new ports or their dredging.

From this page, last of first row:
http://www.webalice.it/cherini/Naviglio/galleria.htm, Muggesana, short for ‘Società
Muggesana di Navigazione poi Municipalizzata’ or something like “Shipping, then
Municipal, Company from Muggia” which is a little
town in the immediate neighbourhood of Trieste, Italy.
This flag is
white and bears the red triple-towered castle from the municipal arms, where the
field however is gold:

Some facts
gleaned from the ‘web: founded by shipowner Nicolò Giani in 1898; initially had
the monopoly of shipping Muggia-Trieste (workers commuting to Trieste
shipyards); partly owned by municipality since 1908; operated locally built
ships for local traffic; vessels pressed into military service during WWI; 1947,
end of monopoly.
House flag perhaps, onomast certainly visible on ‘Epulo’:
