BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 30. Eni, Fincantieri,
one of the world’s leading shipbuilding companies, and RINA, a
multinational inspection, certification, and engineering consulting
company, have inked a deal to work on energy transition, Trend reports.
According to Eni, this partnership solidifies their promise to
work together on projects to make the maritime industry cleaner
over the long haul. The aim is to set up a permanent global center
to keep track of new technology, rules, and market changes.
These three companies will study different ways to make ships
greener. They’ll explore new fuels and ways to improve the
infrastructure for clean energy. They’ll also look into how to
invest in the sector to make these changes happen.
“We are highly committed to supporting our clients in addressing
the industrial challenges of the maritime energy transition, and
this initiative is aimed at initially creating a hub of study to
harness Italy’s extraordinary expertise in new technologies, novel
fuels, and their profound industrial implications for the ship
system. We are very pleased to join forces with Eni and RINA in an
alliance to materialize existing solutions and to pave the way for
the future with a proactive ecosystem approach. Indeed, new
technologies must be industrialized on board ships, just as new
fuels must be produced and distributed at the dock. Only with a
concept of “operationalizing innovation” can we lead our industry
and project our shipbuilding leadership into the future”, said
Giuseppe Ricci, CEO of Eni, in this regard.
