Fully equipped hospital and healthcare facilities will be integrated in the ship to provide treatment for up to 17 injured patients.

The Italian fleet renewal programme also involves the construction of the transport and landing helicopter dock (LHD) ‘Trieste’ and seven multipurpose offshore patrol ships (PPA).

It was approved by the Government and Parliament and began in May 2015 (‘Naval Act’) under support of the international organisation for cooperation on arms Organisation Conjointe de Cooperation sur l’Armement (OCCAR).

All three classes of ships are dual use vessels meant for both standard military purposes and civil protection.

The auxiliary propulsion system of these vessels is designed to have a low environmental impact, thus reducing pollution emissions.

Construction of Trieste is underway in Muggiano shipyard with delivery scheduled for next year, while the seven PPAs will enter the fleet starting this year.

Furthermore, the company launched the third PPA Raimondo Montecuccoli at its shipyard in Riva Trigoso, Genoa.
