The Italian Maritime Academy Technologies IMAT was born thanks to the intuition of the founder, Captain Rosario Trapanese, and the entrepreneurial vision of the family Cafiero-Mattioli, shipowners for more than two centuries. The desire to create a training center for seafarers suitable for the great Italian marine heritage finds its realization in 2006 with the opening of a new site and the first investment for the purchase of a modern simulator of navigation systems. The success is unstoppable and begins to grow enormously until the opening of actual nautical college offering classrooms, simulators, 165 hotel rooms, a restaurant, and all the hotel services. The secret of its success
is the constant research and innovation in the training field, which is revealed in a group of highly qualified instructors and the adoption of advanced technologies. The main strength of IMAT is to have created during the growth a team of professional instructors that ensure, thanks to perseverance and continuous updating, the best possible learning experience. Today IMAT can boast of a modern simulation complex composed of 3 advanced bridge simulators, 2 engine room simulators, beyond 258 linked workstations, 21 mini bridges, a large firefighting area with the reproduction of a real ship and the first platform for PSCRB training on a private lake.
