This alliance will enhance support to Fincantieri in pursuit of the tender to build six fleet replenishment tankers for UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) programme known as the MARS project. The MARS project is an International competition being managed under European Union guidelines. If successful in winning the MARS contract, this will maintain substantial employment in Italy and the UK. Alberto Maestrini, Executive Senior Vice President of Fincantieri Naval vessel business unit, said: “This is part of a larger strategy of collaboration with NSL and if successful with the MARS tender, the companies will pursue other business opportunities in the naval auxiliary, naval export and offshore markets. “The alliance provides Fincantieri with a strong professional ally strategically based in the UK.”
