"Costa Firenze- recalled the CEO of Fincantieri, Giuseppe Bono - is the third cruise ship that we have been delivering since September and we are pleased that the name of this unit recalls one of the most famous cities of art in Italy and in the world. Delivery is an important fact because is the tangible sign that the company is returning to normal productive activity. I would also like to point out - he bono - that the financial situation and fincantieri's economy has not undergone significant changes compared to what was reported in previous quarters. Society demonstrated excellent resilience by avoiding the cancellation of ordering and strengthening the relationship with customers in the sector Cruise. We are a growing company, which has acquired a international reputation and credibility that will facilitate its such growth, and we can rely on an orderbook that we ensures long-term visibility and opportunity to increase productivity efficiency and marginality."
The CEO of the Costa group and Carnival Asia and General Manager of Costa Cruises, Michael Thamm, noted that "The delivery of the new Costa Firenze is a sign of hope for the entire cruise and tourist ecosystem, and represents the most tangible testimony of the will of our group to start again. Our wish, he added, is to that people can soon return to travel and more and more ships can resume sailing, contributing to the relaunch of the tourism in Italy, Europe and the world."
