“Paolo and Cesare d’Amico, together with all their colleagues, mourn the passing of Lucio Bonaso, CEO of the Dry Cargo business unit of the d’Amico Group," said the statement of the company.
In 1998, Bonaso joined the company to drive the creation of bulk carrier fleets and was responsible for all the operations of the dry cargo division.
Over the years, Lucio Bonaso has made a decisive contribution to the company's growth and development, contributing to business growth through important commercial agreements, particularly in the Asian and Japanese markets, and managing the recent fleet renewal programme.
After graduating from the University of Genoa as a naval engineer in 1973, Bonaso spent two years in the Navy and then entered the shipyard of Officine San Giorgio del Porto in Genoa.
He was hired by Gestion Maritime, based in Monaco, in 1980, where he stayed until 1998, steadily improving his position until his appointment as CEO.
