The FREMM (European multipurpose frigate) (French Frégate européenne multi-mission or Italian Fregata europea multi-missione) is a class of frigate designed by DCNS/Armaris and Fincantieri for the navies of France and Italy.

I was the Orizzonte Sistemi Navali consultant for the improvement of coating and anti-corrosion, steels and alloys, issues on FREMM ships.

Orizzonte Sistemi Navali (OSN) is the sole Italian Prime Contractor and Whole Warship Design Authority supplying turn-key Naval Surface Vessels with high technological content.

Now I’m the sole advisor and courses lecturer at Fincantieri S.p.a for the same problems identified above, especially for war ships.

Fincantieri is a leader in the construction of cruise ships, large ferries, frigates, corvettes, patrol vessels and submarines.

Materials issues range in Navy vessels is wide and interesting, from coating and their preparation to stainless steels and other alloys.
