At Fincantieri, engineering is a driving force in building a sustainable future. It enables us to design the first zero-emission ship by 2035. To reduce emissions today. To transform shipyards through smart, integrated technologies and digital innovation. For us, engineering means leading the transition - with concrete actions and a long-term vision for the future we are bringing on board, every day.

The keel-laying ceremony for the first next-generation U212NFS destined for the Italian Navy was held today at our Muggiano shipyard, as part of the program for the construction of four submarines and the development of related logistic support, managed and entrusted to OCCAR. Delivery of the first U212NFS is scheduled for 2029. The U212NFS submarine class represents a substantial evolution compared to its U212A predecessors, thanks to greater design maturity, a higher level of national technological content, an improved integration of onboard systems and innovations developed by Italian industry — including the lithium-ion propulsion battery and the new combat system — that will ensure greater stealth, endurance, efficiency, and cyber resilience. We are proud to leverage our expertise in the U212NFS program, which makes a decisive contribution to preserving and enhancing national industrial know-how, consolidating the technological advantage of Fincantieri and the entire Italian supply chain, reaffirming our commitment to a more innovative future and safer seas. @ItalianNavy

We hosted a delegation from Oman led by HH Nazar Aljulanda Majid Al-Said, Ambassador of the Sultanate of Oman to Italy, with representatives from Oman Investment Authority, welcomed by our Vice President International Institutional Affairs Carlo Romeo and our Sales Manager Naval Vessels Division Fabio Rinaldi. A valuable opportunity for an in depth discussion on areas of mutual interest and potential collaboration, and to showcase our core businesses and the long-standing and growing international outlook of our Group, engaging in a constructive exchange on domestic market dynamics, strategic priorities, and pathways to further strengthen - also through cross fertilization in both the civil and defense domains - cooperation between Fincantieri and Oman. A meeting that marked a step forward in strengthening a positive dialogue and relationship with OIA and enhancing mutual understanding. @Oman_OIA
