Fincantieri faces tough negotiations ahead
for the purchase of French naval and cruise ship yard STX France, but it has
had recent success with foreign military sales: Italian Foreign Minister
Angelino Alfano said Wednesday that the state-owned shipbuilder will deliver
seven naval vessels for Qatar at a total price of about $6 billion.
The announcement bears similarity to another from June
2016, when Fincantieri CEO Giuseppe Bono signed an agreement to build
seven vessels for Qatar's navy, including an amphibious landing dock
ship, two patrol vessels and four corvettes, at a similar package price.
In his comments Wednesday, Minister Alfano did not say whether the terms of

ENHANCED SAN GIUSTO CLASS
Fincantieri-built Kalaat Beni Abbes of Algerian Navy
The Kalaat Beni-Abbes is a landing platform dock (LPD)
ship, developed as a technological enhancement of the Italian "San
Giusto" amphibious class vessel and retaining and perfecting some of the
latter’s most significant features. The most important of these is the presence
of an internal floodable dock, capable of accommodating a ready-to-go chaland
(a 20-metre landing craft); the other two landing craft of the same size can
travel attached to the ship's deck, and can be deployed using a system of
davits. If necessary, the dock can be emptied to accommodate other types of
vehicles. Source
