New construction of auxiliary vessels for the Marina Militare
Integration of manual valves, motorized valves and HTS solutions in logistical platform
Within the MTC/MTF Program, developed by Mariotti Shipyard for the Italian Navy, FJ participated in the construction of two auxiliary support vessels designed to enhance the fleet’s logistical and operational capabilities.
These platforms fulfill strategic support functions, where reliability of fluid control systems and technical integration between subsystems are essential to ensure operational continuity across mission scenarios.
FJ manufactured integrated solutions including manual valves, motorized valves and HTS sealing systems configured according to project technical requirements.
Technical Scope of Supply
The supply included:
Equipment was configured to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility with the vessel architecture, enabling coherent integration within piping, control and compartment systems.
In-house manufacturing ensured:
- Full material traceability
- Dimensional control and functional validation
- Consistency between valve, actuation and associated systems
- Compliance with naval documentation standards
Supplying the integrated package under a single technical responsibility minimized risks related to multiple supplier interfaces.
Engineering and Shipyard Integration
Technical coordination with Mariotti Shipyard was essential during design definition, manufacturing and integration phases.
The project required configuration adaptation to meet program requirements, ensuring alignment with Italian Navy technical standards and shipyard construction planning.
During the process, the following activities were carried out:
- Functional verification of manual and motorized valves
- Structural integration checks of HTS systems
- Validation of mechanical and electrical interfaces
- Documentation coordination with the shipyard
This approach ensured system coherence within a high-demand logistical platform.
Added value in auxiliary support platforms
In auxiliary support vessels, systems must operate reliably and continuously to sustain extended naval operations.
FJ’s integrated model provides:
- Reduced critical interfaces
- Simplified future maintenance
- Greater documentation consistency
- Improved lifecycle traceability
This strengthens robustness and availability of key systems within strategic logistical platforms.
Participation in the MTC/MTF Program strengthens FJ’s presence in international naval programs and confirms its capability to deliver integrated technical solutions for auxiliary support vessels.
The project demonstrates FJ’s ability to operate under demanding European naval standards in collaboration with major shipyards.
