History
Navalmare has been active since three decades in the realization of great projects in the offshore and shipyard industry.
Navalmare was born from the need of Comm. Walter ANTONINI, enterpriser of La Spezia acclaimed in the 70’s in the Sea Platforms for hydrocarbon extraction industry, to locate a “sea” area to widen his activity.
In fact, as of that time, the various prefabricated structures of the La Spezia workshops were assembled in temporary coast yards, where also the manufactured products were loaded onto ships to be transported to their final installation site.
In those years the “Mining and Metallurgy Company of Pertusola” was living difficult times due to the crisis in this industry; Comm. Antonini, having quickly established the required agreement, acquired its foundry and any ancillary structures: in 1977 the Company NAVALMARE S.p.A. was born.
Navalmare started its industrial activity on 1st January 1980 and immediately became evident the possibility to acquire important and complex jobs.
The first one was the Project F.P.S.O. NILDE, that is the mooring prototype of a great oil tanker on an oil well, loading the oil directly into the ship suitably equipped to store the product.
Navalmare started out a quick activity and logistics growth, where the acquired jobs were increasing in importance, with the project of Yard extension submitted to the Maritime Authority.
In 1992 Mr. Albano Antonio Francesco was named President of the Administration Board and Legal Officer of the company, and he is still on this charge.
In 2000 another share of the maritime public concession area has been acquired, where the new activity of Nautical Yard for pleasure boats with annexed wintering area was started.
