In a strategic move to invest, diversify, and expand its network, the Fratelli Cosulich Group proudly welcomes Gente di Mare (GDM) into its corporate family. Headquartered in Leghorn, this maritime training center, established just a year ago, stands as the first mandatory maritime training center in the Tuscany Region.
Its primary objective is to maintain the high competency levels of national and international onboard personnel while elevating safety standards for both individuals and assets.
A visionary approach to training:
Founded by Dr. Elena di Tizio and Captain Klaus Ranaldi, now partners with the Fratelli Cosulich Group, GDM is at the forefront of a long-term strategy. Planned investments will significantly increase the number and quality of available courses, aiming to establish GDM as a reference point in national maritime training.
Diverse course offerings for comprehensive skill development:
GDM currently offers a range of courses, including Imo Stcw ‘95, maritime security, Gmdss Goc Roc – Global Maritime Distress and Safety System, maritime English: Marlins Approval Test Center MCA STCW, and post-diploma preparation for the recognition of deck and engine titles.
Strategic collaboration for synergies:
The Fratelli Cosulich Group emphasizes the importance of synergies between maritime personnel potential, the professionalism required by the shipping sector and offshore industry, with the goal of providing a comprehensive educational offering that leverages available resources. The collaboration with GDM aims to foster interaction and cooperation among shipping companies, nautical institutions, local and national authorities, and the existing client network within the Fratelli Cosulich Group.
A gateway to operational efficiency:
The Leghorn-based maritime training center will act as a hub for shipping companies, nautical institutions, local and national authorities, and the existing client network within the Fratelli Cosulich Group. This collaboration aims to achieve high operational efficiency and create a significant impact on the maritime education landscape.
A step towards the future:
The acquisition of 90% of GDM's shares marks a pivotal step toward the future for the Fratelli Cosulich Group. This strategic move not only aligns with the group's commitment to innovation and adaptability but also reinforces its position as a leader in the maritime industry. As the maritime training landscape evolves, the Fratelli Cosulich Group, together with GDM - Gente di Mare Formazione Marittima S.r.l., is poised to shape the future of maritime education and excellence.
