Well, thanks John. Glad my answer could help you, for a change... Thanks for the updated vocab. Even Italian seems to have evolved in time. Have a nice day, Barbara

Comment: "This answer was spot on, although it is in fact obsolete terminology (and is often described as "ex indirizzo capitani"). The new terminology is "perito per il trasporto marittimo""
