On the occasion of Euronaval 2026, the international exhibition on the maritime security and technologies for the ongoing in Paris, Fincantieri has signed a series of agreements. The first is with J.A. Solutions, a company Danish company specialized in the design and construction of containers, modules and handling systems tailored to commercial and defense applications. The letter of intent provides for the development of strategic industrial collaboration in the field of of advanced modular and containerized systems per unit naval reconfigurable. Combining Fincantieri's experience in the Design, construction and integration of naval units with J.A. Solutions' specialized expertise in modular systems, this collaboration aims to explore New technologies designed to improve reconfigurability and expand their range of missions. The experience of J.A. Solutions includes, in particular, the integration of a wide range of range of mission-specific payloads, including drones, sensors, decoy systems, communication equipment and as well as the development of the necessary interfaces for full integration of containerized payloads with naval infrastructure.

The collaboration will focus on the evaluation of technical and operational requirements, the adaptation of existing systems and the development of new solutions, while also exploring potential business opportunities in the markets international agreements. The agreement also provides for the possibility of Fincantieri to participate in the share capital of J.A. Solutions, with the aim of further strengthening collaboration and links of the Italian group with the Danish industrial ecosystem, characterized by a highly specialized know-how in the field of modularity and reconfiguration of naval units.

On the occasion of the French boat show, Fincantieri also presented presented the new Multi-Mission Modular Vessel (MMMV), which introduces a new approach to platform design "one hull, multiple missions": instead of building a ship designed for a predefined mission, Fincantieri has developed a platform designed to accommodate and adapt to multiple missions. Thanks to a highly modular architecture Flexible and open, the ship can accommodate different loads containerized utilities, allowing you to customize their configuration according to specific operational needs.

Designed as a compact, small-crewed platform and highly versatile, the MMMV, 50 meters long, has a displacement of 500 tons and requires a basic crew of only six people. Accommodates containerized operating modules of 10 or 20 foot, allowing for rapid dock reconfiguration in a wide range of operational scenarios. This architecture allows platform to support missions ranging from security maritime law enforcement - including the fight against illicit trafficking and piracy - up to the intelligence gathering, underwater operations, communications intelligence, the protection of critical maritime infrastructure and combat missions. Modular payloads can integrate a wide range of systems, including such as stray munitions, aerial and underwater drones, launch systems and recovery and other mission-specific support modules.

Fincantieri has also signed a memorandum of understanding with the Navantia for the establishment of a 50:50 joint venture for the respective national programmes on the European Patrol Corvette (EPC) and the related export opportunities. The signature represents a further step forward in cooperation between the complexes following the memorandum of Understanding signed last February ( of 26 February 2026). The heads of agreement contains the agreements reached by the parties and provides the framework for the for the negotiation of the final documentation on the joint venture.

The joint venture will form the heart of the EPC programme, assuming overall responsibility for its development, and acting as a contracting entity for the related contracts. It will also bring together the main activities of the industrial and commercial necessary for the realization of the programmes, ranging from the coordination of functional design engineering and procurement of common elements of naval units up to the models of co-production, life cycle support and opportunities while promoting greater standardisation of the platform relating to the naval units themselves.

Navantia and Fincantieri intend to involve in the joint venture other European partners such as the French Naval Group, currently during the accession assessment phase, integrating within it the respective national EPC shipbuilding programmes.

Fincantieri, together with Naval Group itself and Navantia have signed the consortium agreement for the second phase of EPC (EPC2) which strengthens the collaboration between the three European manufacturers and marks the transition from the initial design phase to a Future class of Modular and Multirole Patrol Corvette (MMPC) ready for production. Launched in 2019 as part of the Cooperation Permanent Structured Structure (PESCO) of the European Union and coordinated by OCCAR as of 2022, the MMPC program is intended for the development of a new generation of naval platforms capable of to meet the constantly evolving operational requirements of European navies.

The signature stems from the results of EPC1, focused on the study of the concept, preliminary naval design, technology development key frameworks, as well as the definition of methodologies, standards and requirements municipalities. EPC2 will help to steer the programme towards the industrialization phase by completing the preliminary design and detailed of the units, while integrating a series of of innovative technologies. The programme will develop a Common Full Combat Multipurpose (FCM) platform that will constitute The basis for a new class of corvettes. Thanks to a design modular and adaptable, the EPC project will allow navies Participating military personnel to adapt the platform to the specifications operational needs, while maintaining high levels of interoperability, standardization and homogeneity.
