Somec, ordini per 119 milioni per una nuova generazione di navi da crociera

Somec, a San Vendemiano, Treviso-based company specializing in the design, production, and installation of complex civil and naval projects, has secured orders worth over 119 million euros for a new generation of cruise ships. The primary client is an international cruise line, which is constructing a new series of cruise vessels in a French shipyard.

The agreement, benefiting Somec's Horizons division, covers two ships and others in option. The supply and installation activities are planned over a multi-year period, with deliveries and economic benefits expected between 2028 and 2040.

The new vessels, known for their unique silhouette, will require innovative solutions that combine design freedom, visual continuity between indoor and outdoor spaces, safety, and energy efficiency. Somec will contribute to defining the architectural envelope of the ships through an integrated set of glass systems and balcony components.

These systems are designed to meet the technical and aesthetic requirements of the new ship series and will also include automated vertical sliding windows (AVSW), which allow for modulating the opening of transparent surfaces, enhancing the connection with the sea.

Oscar Marchetto, Somec's president, explains that the new orders reflect a convergence of bold design visions and highly specialized industrial expertise. These projects aim to transform technological innovation, efficiency, and design into concrete solutions for coastal architecture. Somec's operations contribute to the competitiveness of the European shipbuilding industry, which continues to excel in increasingly complex and technologically advanced programs.

The company's three divisions - Horizons, Talenta (professional kitchen systems and products), and Mestieri (custom interior design and creation) - work together to maintain Italy's international recognition for industrial specialization and expertise.
