I’m the lead project engineer of the last two Leonardo Class cruise vessels for Norwegian Cruise Line.I coordinate the technical team in charge of the engineering activities, with daily interactions with several stakeholders including Owner's representatives, Class and Suppliers.

I was part of the project lead designers team of the Merchant Ship Business Unit, which is in charge of developing the basic design of new cruise ships and ferries. I have been involved in several new building projects for cruise ships, dealing with: weight estimation, stability, structure, machinery integration, safety, international rules and regulations (SOLAS, USPHS, etc..), cost estimation, overall issues related to the development of the main technical contractual deliverables (General Arrangement Plan and Ship’s Specification). In addition to this, as part of my experience in Fincantieri, I took part to the inclining experiments and lightweight surveys of Regent Seven Seas Explorer and Seabourn Encore.As a project leader, I took care of the development of the following main projects:1) Hi-tech LNG Ro-Pax ferry for Viking Line2) New MSC Seaside Evo project (under construction)3) New Oceania Allura class project (under construction).For the Oceania Allura project I took part also at the first stage (7months) of the post contractual phase, participating in leading and coordinating the technical team, coming from different internal departments, in charge of the engineering development.

I supported the project leaders, in satisfying ship owners requirements, and checking the compliance with national and international regulations, for new projects and for sister ships as well.Particularly, I followed the steps required for developing a preliminary general arrangement plan for a new ship, taking care of implications related to different configurations.Furthermore, I took part to the development of a data-base which collects the main data of ships built by Fincantieri as far, in way to obtain a parametric configurator for future new projects.Thanks to this experience, I enhanced my skills in team working, being involved in important projects with a wide number of stakeholders.

I dealt with Load line assignments and reviews of stability softwares'output. I followed the process required for the transfer of class of a ship from a previous classification society, in accordance with the technical and surveyor officer review activities .
