TRIESTE – The partnership between Fincantieri and Italy’s Guardia di Finanza (GdF) in Friuli Venezia Giulia is moving into a more operational phase, with a specific focus on the Monfalcone shipyard—the group’s largest production site for building high-complexity cruise ships.
In recent days, at the regional headquarters of the Guardia di Finanza, a coordination meeting was held based on the memorandum of understanding signed at national level in 2025. The aim is to strengthen prevention and enforcement activities against economic and financial irregularities and attempts at criminal infiltration linked to the broad network of contractors and suppliers that revolves around Fincantieri’s operations in the region.
The meeting brought together the regional and provincial leadership of the Guardia di Finanza, alongside Fincantieri’s security managers, to define a shared and more targeted working framework on the ground. The protocol, signed centrally by the Commander General of the Guardia di Finanza and Fincantieri’s chairman, is designed to make information-sharing and the analysis of the most complex production environments more effective.
In this context, Monfalcone plays a central role. The shipyard concentrates high production volumes, a complex supplier chain and highly specialised activities. For this reason, it is considered a sensitive node in terms of safeguarding legality, countering undeclared work, fraud and corrupt practices, as well as protecting public economic interests linked to works, services and supplies.
The cooperation translates into practical tools: access to vetted data and information, context analysis and alert systems to help detect anomalous patterns early. The approach aims to protect the local industrial system and ensure transparency and security across the entire production chain, with direct benefits for the territory and the wider community.
