Andrea Carlevaris

Andrea Carlevaris’ journey in marine engineering began in Trieste back in 1978. After graduating as an engineer from nautical school, he gained hands-on experience as an Engineer Officer on commercial cargo ships, cruise ships, and tugboats. The Navy construction industry was where he was employed as a foreman to build hybrid propulsion submarines at the end of the ‘80s. His passion for sailing drove him away from the commercial world, and working as an engineer on sailing yachts first and mega yachts later contributed to his well-rounded perspective on marine engineering. He founded ACP Surveyors in 2005, a fully independent technical company dedicated to supporting yacht Owners. From new yacht builds to pre-purchase surveys, the company handles a full array of consultancy services, including paint inspections and technical expertise in various forms. A Class I commercial Chief Engineer and an ISM Lead Auditor, Andrea is also a qualified Registered Marine Coating Inspector (RMCI) and
