A seagoing perspective.
Built for real operations.
I am an Italian Master Mariner with offshore command experience on DP2 vessels, specializing in dynamic positioning, anchor handling, towing and demanding marine operations.
My approach combines practical seamanship, bridge-team leadership, sound risk assessment and a detailed understanding of the operational limits that matter when conditions change.
Alongside vessel command, I have experience training maritime cadets in offshore subjects at the maritime academy in Genoa. I am interested in selected collaborations involving marine operations, operational assurance and professional training.
