Captain Jorge Mesiano Savastano
Jorge was born in Santos, Brazil and learned how to sail in the Brazilian Navy. Jorge has been on several positions on warships, and has taken many training courses especially on bridge equipment, giving him a huge advantage in being commissioned to command ships in the Brazilian Navy.
