As informed, the MOU lays down the cooperation principles in several fields:
The MoU will be followed by a series of detailed agreements, outlining – from time to time – the respective roles and the scope of supply.
Different areas of the Fincantieri group may benefit from these understandings — the Naval Vessels Division, the Systems and Components Division, as well as Seastema, Vard Marine and Fincantieri India.
In the past, Fincantieri entered into contracts with CSL – to which the Indian Navy awarded the construction of the country’s first locally built aircraft carrier INS Vikrant – for the design and integration of the unit’s engine system, as well as for the supply of complementary services.
Fincantieri also delivered the two fleet tankers INS Deepak and INS Shakti to the Indian Navy, in addition to the research vessel Sagar Nidhi built for the National Institute of Ocean Technology (NIOT).
