FINCANTIERI: DELIVERED “SILVER MOON” IN ANCONA

FINCANTIERI: DELIVERED "SILVER MOON" IN ANCONA

She is the second of three "Muse" series cruise ships for Silversea Cruises

Trieste, October 30, 2020 - The contractual delivery of "Silver Moon" - the second of three new ultra-luxury cruise ships that Fincantieri is building for Silversea Cruises, a brand of the Royal Caribbean Group - took place today at the Ancona yard.

"Silver Moon" is a sister ship of "Silver Muse", that went out to sea in 2017 from the Sestri Ponente (Ge) shipyard, and of "Silver Dawn", to be delivered in 2021 in Ancona. At 40,700 gross tons and with a capacity of 596 passengers, the vessel's 298 spacious all-suite cabins are a distinctive feature of Silversea in the cruise landscape.

The newbuild is the ninth ship to enter the Silversea fleet. Once operating, she will significantly push the boundaries of the ultra-luxury segment with plenty of enhancements to the on board experience, while satisfying the highest standards in terms of guest-required amenities, i.e. comfort, service, and quality.

Among the vessel's notations, the "Green star 3 Design" is of particular relevance: it is assigned to units that are designed, built and equipped in order to prevent air and water pollution, and those referred to the acoustic restraint on board.

With over 230 years of history and more than 7,000 vessels built, Fincantieri has always kept its management offices, as well as all its distinctive engineering and production skills, in Italy. With over 9,500 employees and a supplier network that employs nearly 50,000 people in Italy alone, Fincantieri has enhanced a fragmented production capacity over several shipyards into a strength, acquiring the widest portfolio of clients and products in the cruise business. To hold its own in relation to competition and assert itself at global level, Fincantieri has broadened its product portfolio becoming world leader in the sectors in which it operates.

The Group now has 18 shipyards operating in four continents, nearly 20,000 employees, and is the leading Western shipbuilder; its clients include the world's biggest cruise operators and the Italian and the US Navy as well as numerous foreign navies. Fincantieri is also a partner of some of the main European defence companies within supranational programs.

Fincantieri's business is widely diversified by end markets, geographical exposure and by client base, with revenue generated from cruise ship, naval vessel, Offshore and Specialized Vessel construction and from the supply of solutions for electronic systems and software and for maritime infrastructure and works. Compared with less diversified players, such diversification allows it to mitigate the effects of any fluctuations in demand on the end markets served.
