Classification society RINA expects its recent move to take control of Italian engineering consultancy D’Appolonia to boost group turnover by almost 50% and significantly strengthen its expertise and range of services in the offshore and port development fields. RINA chief executive Ugo Salerno said: ‘By bringing the D’Appolonia Group’s 580 multidisciplinary staff and 87 million turnover into RINA we have made a quantum jump in size and capability.’
