SAL Heavy Lift has confirmed a leadership transition at KestrelMare, its subsidiary dedicated to project and heavy-lift logistics in the Italian and Mediterranean markets. Guglielmo Viola has been appointed as CEO, joining the senior management team of Stefania Morasso, Marco Campodonico, and Alberto Marchese.
According to the company, the new leadership aims to reinforce KestrelMare’s capabilities in project cargo, breakbulk and oversized transport, and port agency services, while deepening operational ties within the broader Harren Group and JSI Alliance networks.
KestrelMare has long been a central partner within Harren Group’s logistics ecosystem, providing local expertise for complex cargo handling and maritime coordination across Southern Europe. With this transition, the company is expected to focus on expanding digital solutions and sustainable logistics practices in line with the group’s modernization strategy.
SAL Heavy Lift expressed confidence in the new leadership, emphasizing continuity and regional commitment:
“KestrelMare remains a trusted partner and a center of excellence for the Mediterranean market.”
KestrelMare operates as part of the Harren Group, the German maritime and logistics conglomerate that also owns SAL Heavy Lift and several other specialized shipping and engineering brands. The group’s portfolio integration allows each company to maintain operational independence while sharing global resources, technical expertise, and project cargo networks.
