Italian shipbuilding company Fincantieri has officially delivered the Spartaco Schergat (F 598), the ninth FREMM (European Multi-Mission Frigate), to the Italian Navy.
The Italian Navy’s latest FREMM frigate, Emilio Bianchi, has achieved two significant milestones, marking its progress towards delivery.
The Italian Navy will be able to rely on two new FREMM frigates ensuring high operational performance, with state-of-the-art technology and cutting-edge systems.
The Italian Navy’s tenth FREMM (Fregata Europea Multi-Missione) frigate, named “Emilio Bianchi,” has been successfully launched at the Fincantieri shipyard in Riva Trigoso.
Fincantieri Marinette Marine was awarded a contract valued at a billion dollars (USD) to build two additional Constellation-class Frigates.
Defence Minister of Greece Nikos Dendias announced at a press conference the country’s interest in participating in the construction program of the latest American Constellation-class frigates for the Hellenic Navy.
The launching ceremony of the Spartaco Schergat frigate, the ninth of a series of 10 FREMM vessels – Multi Mission European Frigates, took place on November 24.
The total value of the contract includes the portion that will be allocated to Orizzonte Sistemi Navali (OSN) – the joint venture owned by Fincantieri and Leonardo with stakes of 51% and 49%, respectively – as a sub-supplier.
The FREMM through-life support contract, which came into effect in January 2023, is one of the largest support contracts awarded to Thales by Naval Group.
On Wednesday 22 March 2023, the French Navy’s Lorraine multi-mission frigate enhanced with air defence capabilities (FREMM DA) successfully fired the Aster 30 air defence missile.
The contract amendment introduces technical modifications to Italian and French FREMM equipment to meet Nations’ needs and requirements.
