We owe our knowledge to decades of experience.

Our Manning activities started in 1948, providing complete Italian sailing crews to several American oil companies, including Cosmopolitan, Getty Oil, Amoco, Philips, Union Oil, Texaco, Maritime Overseas Corporation, Keystone Shipping and Ultramar.
Over the years, our expertise expanded to support increasingly complex operations. From 1975, we also gained a remarkable experience in providing personnel to drilling rigs (Jack-ups and Semi-submersibles), as well as supply vessels such as PSV and AHTS.
From the mid-1990s our teams also began supporting storage tankers (FPSO/FSO), accommodation barges, pipe layers and drill ships.
This long history in offshore and maritime operations shapes the way we work today: with competence, responsibility and a deep understanding of life at sea.

Our Clients

We believe that excellence lies in the details.
From the first exchange to the final stages of payroll, we support our clients with care, transparency and strong ethical standards. Every process is designed to assist them step by step: from gathering requirements and selecting the right candidate to managing documentation, mobilization and continuous support throughout the contract.

Services

Our work begins with people, knowledge, and an uncompromising focus on operational excellence.

Managing a vessel requires more than technical skills. It demands discipline, coordination and the ability to navigate complex environments with confidence.

From engineering to crew management, from HSEQ governance to specialised consultancy, our services are designed around real maritime needs and backed by decades of hands-on experience.

Integrated Technical Management

We oversee vessels throughout their lifecycle, managing operations, maintenance planning and complex engineering projects with precision and continuity.
