Vertom was established in 1974 (in Rotterdam) and has seen constant growth ever since. In the 1980s, the company expanded into in Belgium and started the liner service to the Caribbean. In the 1990s Vertom opened offices in the UK and in 2010 merged with Unity Beheer (UCS) B.V. Today, Vertom is still an independent company with family heritage.
