True, but he didn't say how long; it all depends on the amount of time and telephone use. If (as seems likely) it's just a few days on the barge, and he just wants to be reached in case of emergency, it might not be such a big deal to rely on Passport for the occasional outgoing call and let it be known (as he mentioned) that he is to be called only if really necessary.
Sure, an international SIM might be pretty useful, especially if he's going to be placing and receiving lots of calls, and it might be useful later as well. However, for low use, most of it in Italy, and "being reachable in an emergency" an Italian SIM would be cheaper, and easily available, whereas it sounds like there's not enough time to order an international SIM.
