The shipowner Vincenzo Onorato leaves the presidency of Moby. He communicated it himself, in a letter to the employees, which reads: “The companies of Onorato Armatori are solid, strong and above all today, as I write to you, very liquid. We have, in an advanced stage of construction, what will be the largest ferries that have ever sailed the seas ".
"The person who will replace me - continues Onorato - will be worthy of this burden and this honor together with my children, Achille and Alessandro, and a young and motivated management".
"Forty years ago - adds the owner - I founded Moby starting from a small ship and 12 seafarers, creating, together and
above all thanks to you, and thanks to 140 years of shipowning history and culture, of which I am the guardian, the first worldwide ferry company with 6000 all Italian seafarers. I am and will always be one of you, because before being your owner, I worked as a hub on my father's ships, it was the year 1970: I was only 13 years old. Today those who call themselves 'shipowners' define sea workers as 'human resources', I - he concludes - call them 'my seafarers', because I have experienced the sacrifices that this work entails on my skin ”.
