Captain Alberto Allievi
|
This page is dedicated to the memory of my father, Captain Alberto Allievi through some images and information of his time at sea, and the ships he served on. He was born in Milan in 1923 and died in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1993.
He served in the Italian navy and was a volunteer during WWII (see Italian Navy page). After the war he started his career in the merchant navy aboard Agip tankers until 1955 when he joined the Esso Fleet as First Mate and later as Captain.
In 1962 his seagoing career ended but he continued with Esso in managerial positions in the Marine Dept of La Columbia (Esso Italiana).
In 1975 he was transferred to Esso Europe in London where he was Port Coordinator and later Liquified gas/Chemical shipping advisor until his retirement in 1983.
After retirement from Esso he was a staff member at Leith Nautical College where with his collegue and friend Graham McGuire he established the "Center for Advanced Maritime Studies" of which he was a Director and later Chairman. At the same time he also formed Intermar, an international Marine consultancy group, of which he was partner with Mr. McGuire.
