Ready to tackle the most extreme situations
Thanks to our wealth of experience and long-standing reputation for excellence, Fincantieri is the trusted partner of numerous international contractors, to whom we supply complete ship systems and logistic support. We are one of the few shipbuilders to design and construct a wide-ranging and complete portfolio: from surface combatants to auxiliary and specialized vessels, as well as submarines.
Our engineering experience and skill in creating prototypes means we are able to develop tailor-made solutions based on the client's specific requirements. Our products are well-proven, equipped to the highest operational standards and optimized in terms of costs.
As a Prime Contractor we manage every stage in producing naval vessels, including design, choice of suppliers, construction, testing, delivery, after-sales services and logistical support.
