Ferretti Group resume production in all Italian shipyards following COVID-19 closure

Italian shipyards operating as the Ferretti Group have recommenced construction following the introduction of new legislation allowing them to return to work.

Closed due to the affects of the global coronavirus pandemic, the Italian shipbuilders have confirmed they will be picking up from where they left off before lockdown.

Picking up their tools in their facilities based in Ancona, Mondolfo, Cattolica, Forli, La Spezia and Samico, the Ferretti Group are returning to work while adhering to the new legislation permitting Italian companies to start up again. 

Today is a good day for us to reopen our shipyards and reopen them safely, thanks to the commitment of many who care about Ferretti Group’s people. The Ferretti Group is safely picking up where it left off: from the boats sold to be built and delivered and from the interest and trust of many shipowners around the world.

In addition to applying nationally recognised boundaries to help prevent the spread of COVID-19, the yard have also stated they are implementing further 'voluntary' measures to support their employees, such as a productivity bonus for April.
