The FREMM multi-mission ship programme forms part of a major cooperation agreement between France and Italy.

A joint venture (JV) between Fincantieri and Leonardo known as Orizzonte Sistemi Navali is serving as the prime contractor for Italy within the international FREMM programme.

The navy’s eighth FREMM frigate was launched in February and is scheduled to be delivered next year, while the final two vessels are scheduled to be delivered to the Italian Navy after 2020.

The new vessels are expected to become the backbone of the naval fleet over the coming decades and will replace the Lupo and Maestrale class frigates, which were originally built by Fincantieri during the 1970s.
