The ingredients for the perfect recipe vary from case to case. <strong data-start=\"334\" data-end=\"381\">Vision, flexibility, adaptability to change<\/strong>, combined with <strong data-start=\"397\" data-end=\"423\">passion and pragmatism<\/strong>, can certainly be counted among the essential elements.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"481\" data-end=\"826\">A good question might concern the future. Imagining one\u2019s business twenty years from now provides a fairly accurate idea of how the present is perceived: <strong data-start=\"635\" data-end=\"683\">a final destination or a new starting point?<\/strong> Talking with Captain Rosario Trapanese, founder and current Director of New Development and Strategy at IMAT, clearly leans toward the latter.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"828\" data-end=\"1109\">The man who transformed the maritime training sector in Italy\u2014introducing a sequence of innovations in organization, technology, and teaching\u2014is already contemplating yet another revolution. After all, those who sailed with him in the past say he has always had a drive for change:<\/p>\n<blockquote data-start=\"1111\" data-end=\"1401\">\n<p data-start=\"1113\" data-end=\"1401\">\u201cWhen I decided to come ashore and embark on the training venture, I had a precise goal: to solve the many problems we faced on board,\u201d he explains. \u201cA clear vision that has evolved over time, adapted to changing contexts, but has always been pursued with determination and perseverance.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"1403\" data-end=\"1766\">About twenty-five years have passed since that moment. After being the first to introduce the concept of a <strong data-start=\"1510\" data-end=\"1530\">nautical college<\/strong>, establish contracts with major shipping companies, develop <strong data-start=\"1591\" data-end=\"1628\">interactive simulation technology<\/strong>, and more recently, build a full-scale replica of a ship\u2019s bridge, Trapanese now talks about <strong data-start=\"1722\" data-end=\"1747\">\u201cclosing the circle.\u201d<\/strong> The new vision is:<\/p>\n<blockquote data-start=\"1768\" data-end=\"1831\">\n<p data-start=\"1770\" data-end=\"1831\"><strong data-start=\"1770\" data-end=\"1831\">\u201cAn integrated service covering all aspects of training.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3 data-start=\"1838\" data-end=\"1873\">How did this vision come about?<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1875\" data-end=\"1983\">Let\u2019s take a small step back. It starts with our tendency to closely observe changes in the shipping market.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1985\" data-end=\"2454\">As an internationally-oriented entity, still focused on Italian needs, we are witnessing a growing gap between the <strong data-start=\"2100\" data-end=\"2143\">demand and supply of maritime personnel<\/strong>. Just look at the <strong data-start=\"2162\" data-end=\"2202\">order book of new ship constructions<\/strong> over the next five years. From new cruise ships to ferries and cargo vessels, approximately <strong data-start=\"2295\" data-end=\"2320\">200,000 new seafarers<\/strong> will be needed. These are not small numbers to manage in such a short period\u2014unless specific steps are taken to anticipate the issue.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"2461\" data-end=\"2484\">What kind of steps?<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2486\" data-end=\"2715\">We need to create a system. We must establish <strong data-start=\"2532\" data-end=\"2598\">virtuous synergies between the world of education and training<\/strong>, based on a vision that goes beyond current sectoral boundaries. Unfortunately, this is a difficult goal to achieve.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2717\" data-end=\"3126\">Resources from the <strong data-start=\"2736\" data-end=\"2744\">PNRR<\/strong> (Italy\u2019s National Recovery and Resilience Plan) have been channeled into strengthening internal structures, making collaboration even more complicated. The idea of a joint venture between an <strong data-start=\"2936\" data-end=\"2985\">MTO (Marine and Technical Operations) Academy<\/strong> like IMAT and an <strong data-start=\"3003\" data-end=\"3032\">ITS or a maritime academy<\/strong>, for example to collaborate on hospitality and onboard services, seems increasingly unlikely.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3128\" data-end=\"3376\">Given this context of vision, growth, and future, we are considering the idea of <strong data-start=\"3209\" data-end=\"3231\">closing the circle<\/strong>: <strong data-start=\"3233\" data-end=\"3270\">recruiting, training, and manning<\/strong>. In other words, attracting people, training them, and <strong data-start=\"3326\" data-end=\"3375\">providing them directly to shipping companies<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"3383\" data-end=\"3424\">How do you plan to achieve this goal?<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"3426\" data-end=\"3580\">Our idea is to create a <strong data-start=\"3450\" data-end=\"3465\">true campus<\/strong>. There are dozens of roles and departments to develop, each requiring <strong data-start=\"3536\" data-end=\"3557\">tailored training<\/strong> for onboard positions.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3582\" data-end=\"3883\">A structure like this would above all allow for <strong data-start=\"3630\" data-end=\"3685\">interaction between all members of a potential crew<\/strong>. Naturally, following our path of real-world training, the centerpiece would be a <strong data-start=\"3768\" data-end=\"3797\">cruise ship built on land<\/strong>, with <strong data-start=\"3804\" data-end=\"3828\">at least three decks<\/strong>, where all related course activities could take place.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"3890\" data-end=\"3936\">What would the scale of this structure be?<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"3938\" data-end=\"4146\">Excluding the possibility of acquiring a decommissioned vessel\u2014which would be hard to manage long-term\u2014we are leaning toward building a <strong data-start=\"4074\" data-end=\"4145\">land-based structure with the size and layout of a real cruise ship<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4148\" data-end=\"4356\">This would be the hub for training staff in housekeeping, dining, kitchen services, and more. Once they leave the campus, <strong data-start=\"4270\" data-end=\"4318\">trainees would be fully ready for deployment<\/strong>, regardless of the commercial sector.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4358\" data-end=\"4440\">This approach would also help solve a <strong data-start=\"4396\" data-end=\"4439\">growing issue related to onboard safety<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"4447\" data-end=\"4455\">How?<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"4457\" data-end=\"4615\">The exponential increase in ships in service inevitably affects safety levels. It\u2019s a mathematical fact: <strong data-start=\"4562\" data-end=\"4614\">the risk of accidents grows with activity volume<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4617\" data-end=\"4893\">That\u2019s why crews\u2014essential to the cruise industry\u2019s credibility\u2014must be able to <strong data-start=\"4697\" data-end=\"4731\">manage any emergency situation<\/strong>. The land-based ship would be <strong data-start=\"4762\" data-end=\"4817\">equipped with a full range of lifesaving appliances<\/strong>, allowing <strong data-start=\"4828\" data-end=\"4892\">evacuation drills in the most realistic environment possible<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4895\" data-end=\"5089\">We are trying to convince shipowners that investing in this new training model is a <strong data-start=\"4979\" data-end=\"5008\">real strategic investment<\/strong>. It will take time, but we are confident they will <strong data-start=\"5060\" data-end=\"5088\">follow us on this course<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"5096\" data-end=\"5162\">Let\u2019s go back to the shortage of seafarers. What\u2019s causing it?<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"5164\" data-end=\"5339\">There\u2019s a <strong data-start=\"5174\" data-end=\"5195\">vocational crisis<\/strong>. The sea is no longer seen as a path to <strong data-start=\"5236\" data-end=\"5258\">social advancement<\/strong>, as it was in the past. This is clearly due to material progress in our society.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5341\" data-end=\"5537\">Meanwhile, the nature of the seafarer\u2019s job has also changed. <strong data-start=\"5403\" data-end=\"5447\">Work periods on board are less strenuous<\/strong> than in the past. And the recurring <strong data-start=\"5484\" data-end=\"5519\">claims about lack of protection<\/strong> seem exaggerated.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5539\" data-end=\"5856\">Thanks to IMAT\u2019s partnerships with major national and international shipping groups, the <strong data-start=\"5628\" data-end=\"5672\">cost of mandatory training has plummeted<\/strong>. Even the alleged high entry barriers no longer hold up. Instead, we should focus on <strong data-start=\"5758\" data-end=\"5779\">raising awareness<\/strong> about the <strong data-start=\"5790\" data-end=\"5855\">real opportunities\u2014including financial\u2014offered by this career<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"5863\" data-end=\"5911\">So, where do you hope to be in twenty years?<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"5913\" data-end=\"6152\">I believe the <strong data-start=\"5927\" data-end=\"5963\">campus will be fully operational<\/strong> and well-established by then, while IMAT\u2019s operational structure will\u2014as always\u2014be working on <strong data-start=\"6058\" data-end=\"6094\">new improvements and innovations<\/strong> to support the maritime industry of the mid-21st century.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"6154\" data-end=\"6341\">What must remain unchanged compared to today is the <strong data-start=\"6206\" data-end=\"6242\">quality of the personnel trained<\/strong>: from officers to the waiter serving at the table, <strong data-start=\"6294\" data-end=\"6340\">each one must ensure top-level performance<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"6348\" data-end=\"6392\">So, what determines a company\u2019s success?<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"6394\" data-end=\"6477\">It\u2019s one thing to have an idea or a vision; it\u2019s another to <strong data-start=\"6454\" data-end=\"6476\">put it into action<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"6479\" data-end=\"6710\">Looking at what we\u2019ve achieved so far, it has taken <strong data-start=\"6531\" data-end=\"6579\">consistency, perseverance, and determination<\/strong>. Above all, <strong data-start=\"6592\" data-end=\"6626\">passion for what we believe in<\/strong>, paired with the <strong data-start=\"6644\" data-end=\"6674\">entrepreneurial pragmatism<\/strong> needed to turn vision into reality.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"6712\" data-end=\"6856\">I\u2019ve been supported by a <strong data-start=\"6737\" data-end=\"6762\">team of collaborators<\/strong> who have always responded enthusiastically to the challenges of a constantly evolving sector.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"6858\" data-end=\"7128\">In short, it\u2019s about <strong data-start=\"6879\" data-end=\"6977\">having ideas worth pursuing, while adapting to the moment, to the times, and to emerging needs<\/strong>. That\u2019s what we\u2019ve always done at IMAT\u2014<strong data-start=\"7017\" data-end=\"7127\">constantly reinvesting in human capital, new technologies, and the development of the right infrastructure<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Listing the factors that contribute to a company\u2019s success is no simple task.
