A LARGE
WELL-INTEGRATED GROUP
UN GRANDE GRUPPO
INTEGRATO
With more than 7,000 ships built in over 200 years of history, lots of which still
remaining in our collective imagination, Fincantieri is the heir of the great
Italian shipbuilding tradition.
The Company, established in 1959 as Società Finanziaria Cantieri Navali -
Fincantieri S.p.A., in 1984 turned into an operating company, as a result of the
merger of eight of its subsidiaries working in the shipbuilding and servicing
fields as well as in engine construction. At the end of 2008 the Company has
taken over Manitowoc Marine Group, now Fincantieri Marine Group, one of
the leading mid-sized shipbuilders in the United States for commercial and
government customers.
The North American shipyards can boast more than 100 years of history.
They were established in 1902 as Manitowoc Company in Manitowoc, a small
town in Wisconsin. In the same year their first ship was launched. Since then 4 5
a wide range of vessels was built, for lake, river and ocean navigation.
Con oltre 7.000 navi consegnate in 200 anni di storia, molte delle quali rimaste
nell’immaginario collettivo, Fincantieri è l’erede della grande tradizione navale
italiana. L’azienda, nata nel 1959 come Società finanziaria cantieri navali - Fincantieri
S.p.A., si è trasformata nel 1984 in società operativa a seguito della fusione
per incorporazione di otto società, da essa controllate, operanti nel campo
della costruzione e riparazione navale e della realizzazione di apparati motore.
Alla fine del 2008 l’azienda ha acquistato Manitowoc Marine Group, oggi Fincantieri
Marine Group, uno dei principali costruttori di navi di medie dimensioni degli
Stati Uniti che opera sia per clienti civili sia per enti governativi.
I cantieri nordamericani vantano una storia lunga oltre cent’anni. Nascono
nel 1902 come Manitowoc Company nell’omonima cittadina del Wisconsin e
nello stesso anno varano la loro prima nave. Da allora hanno costruito una
vasta gamma di imbarcazioni per la navigazione lacustre, fluviale e oceanica.
FINCANTIERI GROUP | IL GRUPPO FINCANTIERI
Over the years they coped with a wide variety of specialized markets, including
28 submarines during World War II and the famous red Staten Island Ferries
that, during the last century, have provided shuttled service between Manhattan
and Staten Island. Nowadays they are leaders in new construction, conversion,
maintenance, and ship repair service for the Great Lakes, operating more
than 60% of the d ry docks in the area. They are also leading big and mid-sized
shipbuilders for the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Coast Guard.
World leader in cruise shipbuilding, Fincantieri is one of the world’s most
prominent and diversified realities in marine engineering as well as a reference
operator for large ferries and in the naval sector, with a wide range of ships
such as surface vessels and submarines. Fincantieri sets up as partner with
shipowners and the defence sector providing an innovative, custom-built product “Cruise Europa” (2009)
and excellent service levels.

and builds naval systems (stabilizers, solutions and components for naval
propulsion), industrial turbines in addition to diesel engines for land and marine
applications through its subsidiary Isotta Fraschini Motori. The capability to
conceive complex, unique projects in the naval field has today also been applied
to the luxury market with a new Business Unit dedicated to mega yachts of
over 70 metres. The Fincantieri Group provides its customers with a powerful
production network made up of 14 shipyards (9 in Italy, 4 in the United States,
1 subsidiary in Germany), 2 design centres (Genoa and Trieste, the largest in
the Mediterranean), 1 ship research centre (the Cetena) and 2 production sites
for systems and mechanical components. With a staff of 9,400 people in Italy –
rising to 30,000 with the suppliers – and 1,400 in the United States, the group has
reached an yearly production value of 3 billion euro.

Fincantieri can boast a history of over 2,000 naval vessels built for the Italian
Navy and for many foreign Navies. The Company works as Prime Contractor
in the design and construction of surface vessels of any kind (aircraft carriers,
frigates, corvettes, patrol vessels as well as auxiliary vessels) and submarines.
Its own system of certified quality assurance is in accordance with UNI-EN-
ISO 9001: 2000 (RINA).
The customer service department guarantees that customers, on request,
are provided with training modules, technical assistance, spare parts and, in
general, appropriate, integrated logistic support. Fincantieri supports ships
throughout their whole lifecycle offering logistic support and after-sales
services. The Company can guarantee both maintenance programmes of an
ordinary and extraordinary nature or refitting at its own facilities or at the one
chosen by the customer. Fincantieri is the reference partner of the Italian
Navy for the design, construction and logistic support of the surface fleet and
submarines. In addition to this it can boast well-established working relations
with other State Corps and Authorities. 12 13
The most important partnerships include a cooperation with the German
Submarine Consortium for the construction of submarines for the German
and Italian Navies, with the French company DCNS in the Horizon programmes
and FREMM, with Lockheed Martin’s team (minority partner of Fincantieri
Marine Group) on the Littoral Combat Ships programme for the U.S. Navy.
The Company provides well proven products with guaranteed, high operating
standards. At the same time manages to contain costs by drawing on design
and construction solutions which have been well tried and tested in the The destroyer “Andrea Doria” (2005)
merchant sector.
The company “Orizzonte Sistemi Navali”, set up by Fincantieri (51%) and Il cacciatorpediniere “Andrea Doria” (2005)
Finmeccanica (49%), is meant to provide customers with one single
interlocutor able to offer “turnkey” high tech surface vessels.
Orizzonte Sistemi Navali is a Whole Warship Design Authority, responsible for
defining the Platform and Combat System, for their physical and functional
integration and for the performance of the complete Ship System.
The naval design and management centre is headquartered in Genoa. With a
technical staff of approximately 500 people who avail themselves of over 400
CAD workstations, it is one of the most prominent European realities working
in the design of highly complex, sophisticated naval vessels and special ships
(oceanographic vessels, Anchor Handling Tug Supply, etc). In addition to
this there is a flexible, fully integrated production system through the Italian 14 15
shipyards of Muggiano and Riva Trigoso and the American Marinette Marine
Corporation (MMC) and Aluminium Center of Excellence (ACE Marine).
The group, thanks to its subsidiary Fincantieri Marine Group – to which belong
the 4 U.S. shipyards - consolidates its strategy in order to internationalize its
