Stefano Messina has been confirmed as the President of Assarmatori for the upcoming term of 2026-2030, as decided by the members of the maritime association during their assembly in Rome. This unanimous approval reflects Messina's leadership and the organization's trust in his ability to guide the association effectively in the coming years. The decision followed a thorough consultation process led by a nomination committee, which concluded that Messina was the ideal candidate for the role.

During the assembly, the outgoing President and Board of Directors presented their reports and discussed updates to the statutory rules aimed at increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of the association. These changes are expected to enhance the operational capabilities of Assarmatori, particularly in the context of the evolving maritime industry and the challenges it faces.

In addition to Messina’s reappointment, the assembly also involved the renewal of the Board of Directors, with several key members being confirmed for another term. This continuity in leadership is seen as vital for maintaining stability and pursuing strategic goals within the maritime sector, further emphasizing the critical role that Assarmatori plays in representing shipowners in Italy at a national and international level.
