Fincantieri Ships and Vessels

Fincantieri is one of the world's largest shipbuilding groups and a global leader in the design and construction of cruise ships, naval vessels, and specialized high-tech offshore vessels. Founded in its modern corporate form in December 1959 as a state-owned holding company, it inherited a legacy that dates back over 200 years of Italian maritime history. The brand represents the pinnacle of Italian naval engineering, combining traditional craftsmanship with advanced digital and sustainable propulsion technologies.

The group operates an extensive production network, primarily centered in Italy at historic shipyards such as Monfalcone, Marghera, and Sestri Ponente. However, its reach is truly global through major subsidiaries like VARD (operating in Norway, Romania, Vietnam, and Brazil) and Fincantieri Marine Group in the United States. This international footprint allows the company to serve diverse markets, from luxury tourism to defense sectors for multiple international navies.

Ownership of Fincantieri remains strategic to the Italian state. It is a publicly traded company on the Borsa Italiana, with its majority stake held by CDP Equity S.p.A., a subsidiary of Cassa Depositi e Prestiti (CDP), which is controlled by the Italian Ministry of Economy and Finance. This structure ensures that Fincantieri continues to act as a primary driver of Italy's industrial and technological innovation on the world stage.
