Originating from a maritime orientated family, Ronald John Pace founded the company on the 17th March 1967.
Primarily RONASONS SHIPPING AGENCY were very actively involved in the recruitment of Ships crews originating from Malta and employed on foreign flagged vessels trading worldwide as this trade was very much sought after due to the experience Maltese seafarers had at the time having worked with the Royal Fleet Auxiliary vessels.

These include drydocking and repairs, loading/discharging, sts operations of all types of cargoes (bulk and/or liquid), loading stores, spares, provisions, BA charts, luboils, effecting crewchanges, medical attention to any crewmember(s) etc. etc.
The company is now in it’s third generation headed by Mr. Alfred Pace together with daughters Alexia and Krista Pace and Karen Pace to follow shortly in her sisters footsteps, together with their present work force.
As part of the Shipping agency activities RONASONS have been very heavily involved in the bunkering sector and one could say that we are the most active bunker company in Malta.
