Eni, Fincantieri and RINA join forces to aid shipping’s path towards net zero

Three well-known names in Italian maritime are joining forces to develop joint initiatives for the energy transition.

Energy major Eni is partnering with Fincantieri, Italy’s top shipbuilder, as well as RINA, the Italian classification society, to push maritime towards net zero by 2050. 

Giuseppe Ricci, chief operating officer for energy evolution at Eni, commented: “The collaboration with Fincantieri and RINA, two major Italian players, is a further step in our journey towards the transition and decarbonisation of maritime transport.”

Pierroberto Folgiero, CEO of Fincantieri, said the initiative is aimed at initially creating a hub of study to harness Italy’s “extraordinary expertise” in new technologies and fuels.
