Fincantieri handed over the Italian Navy’s new logistic support ship (LSS),
Vulcano (A 5335), during a ceremony held at its Muggiano shipyard in La Spezia on 12 March.
The LSS was built by Fincantieri under a contract awarded by European defence procurement organisation OCCAR in May 2015 on behalf of the Italian Ministry of Defence.
Vulcano is the first of a class of three ships planned to replace the Italian Navy’s Stromboli-class fleet replenishment oilers under the service’s multiyear fleet renewal programme.
