Fincantieri Arabia: Building the Maritime Future of the Kingdom
As part of its long-term business development strategy in the Middle East, Fincantieri has established Fincantieri Arabia for Naval Services, a Saudi-registered company wholly owned by Fincantieri S.p.A. The company plays a central role in supporting the Group’s growth in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and in strengthening its integration within the country’s industrial fabric. Fincantieri Arabia operates at the intersection of innovation, technology, and maritime tradition — driving progress across both the civil and defense naval sectors.
A Strategic Partner for Saudi Vision 2030
Fincantieri Arabia’s mission is fully aligned with the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030, contributing to the creation of a robust and self-sustaining national maritime ecosystem built on knowledge, innovation, and industrial cooperation. The company serves as a strategic hub for the construction, maintenance, and lifecycle management of naval and maritime assets, supporting both the Royal Saudi Navy and the broader civil maritime infrastructure.
Through this local presence, Fincantieri brings world-class expertise in shipbuilding, systems integration, and through-life support to the Kingdom, ensuring the highest standards of quality, safety, and operational readiness.
Civil and Defense Capabilities
In the defense sector, Fincantieri Arabia acts as the local center for all after-sales, logistics, and maintenance services related to naval programs delivered by the Group. This includes the management of the full lifecycle of naval units — from platform systems to combat systems — and the coordination of ordinary and extraordinary maintenance activities.
In the civil and infrastructure domains, the company supports the development of shipyards, port facilities, and maritime logistics solutions, fostering innovation in areas such as digitalization, green technologies, and sustainable ship design. Fincantieri Arabia’s goal is to help shape a modern and efficient maritime industry that supports the Kingdom’s economic diversification.
The “Long Wave”: A Shared Vision for Lasting Value
Fincantieri Arabia is guided by the Group’s strategic vision known as the “Long Wave” — an approach that looks beyond immediate results to generate lasting value. This philosophy integrates industry, education, research, and innovation into a shared path that cultivates local talent, creates skilled jobs, and drives technological excellence.
The Long Wave is not just an industrial plan; it is a commitment to people — to their ability to collaborate, innovate, and build a common future across cultures.
Partnerships, Innovation, and Growth
In line with this vision, Fincantieri Arabia actively promotes partnerships with Saudi governmental entities, universities, and research centers, supporting the creation of local supply chains, advanced training programs, and high-tech industrial projects. The company’s initiatives span from defense and shipbuilding to maritime tourism and digital innovation, contributing to the establishment of an integrated, modern, and sustainable maritime ecosystem.
Bridging Nations, Shaping the Future
Fincantieri brings to Saudi Arabia not only its global experience and technological expertise but also its spirit of collaboration. The partnership between Italy and Saudi Arabia represents a meeting of ideas, skills, and ambitions — a bridge across the sea that transforms vision into reality.
Fincantieri Arabia stands as a key enabler of this transformation: a partner in building the maritime future of the Kingdom, together.
