About Fincantieri
Fincantieri's underwater business combines shipbuilding and systems integration with technology for monitoring the sea and the infrastructure within it. A 2026 agreement with WSense covers wireless underwater systems, including their integration into Fincantieri's DEEP infrastructure-monitoring system. The approach is intended to reduce the dependence on physical cabling between subsea equipment.
A parallel commercial agreement brings the same technology into environmental monitoring and structural-integrity work through Fincantieri Infrastructure. This connects its marine engineering business with continuing data collection and monitoring services. The arrangement builds on Fincantieri's April 2025 investment in WSense and illustrates how specialist sensing and communication technologies are incorporated into the group's wider customer projects.
