Maurizio Aponte, cousin of Gianluigi Aponte and one of Mediterranean Shipping Company’s (MSC) top executives from the very beginning, is stepping down to focus on a Naples-based ferry company belonging to the family.
In a statement sent to Splash, MSC reported Aponte will move on from his role as executive director Europe at the start of next month.
“Maurizio has for decades been one of the key pillars in the development of MSC and his immense contribution is widely appreciated,” the statement read.
Aponte will head up Navigazione Libera del Golfo, a small ferry company active in the Gulf of Naples.
