In Porto Santo Stefano, Lieutenant Commander Andrea Cicala has taken command from Captain Francesco Luigi Balsamo. This office manages roughly 200 kilometers of coastline, including the islands of Giglio and Giannutri, while overseeing maritime traffic, fishing, and tourism.

In San Giorgio di Nogaro, Alessio Vadi has succeeded Roberto Pellegrino. This role is described as strategic for managing the port and lagoon systems of the lower Friuli region, focusing on environmental protection, maritime safety, and economic activities.
