Last year was another golden year for the cruise shipbuilding sector, ASSONAVE, an association representing the majority of the Italian shipbuilding industry, said.
The cruise sector closed 2017 with a high level of new orders — 23 ships of over 10,000 CGT compared to 25 in 2016, for a total of 71,200 LB versus 45,162 LB in 2016.
Fincantieri, with its subsidiary Vard, acquired twelve ship orders and three units subject to memoranda of agreements.
