Under a multi-year programme, Fincantieri is currently building seven multi-purpose offshore patrol vessels (OPVs) and the Trieste Landing Helicopter Dock.

The programme aims to safeguard Italy’s defence at-sea capacity.

In March last year, Fincantieri’s Naval Integrated shipyard delivered the newly built 193m-long LSS Vulcano to the Italian Navy.

LSS Vulcano is part of the Flotte Logistique (FLOTLOG) programme, which includes the construction of four LSSs for the French Navy.

The cooperation between the two European Navy key players will pave way for an operational fleet of six LSSs.

Of these six LCSs, four are destined for France and the remaining two for Italy.

The contract amendment also includes an option for the construction of a third LSS for Italy.
