Italian Navy Warship Francesco Morosini to make Singapore Debut

Our Bureau - : Apr 29, 2023 - : 12:37 pm

The Italian Navy warship Francesco Morosini will participate in the Warship Display at IMDEX Asia. Commenting on this year’s edition of IMDEX Asia 2023, H.E Ambassador Mario Andrea Vattani, Ambassador of Italy to Singapore and Brunei said “Italy participates in IMDEX Asia with its new state-of-the-art ship operating in the Italian Navy: the “Francesco Morosini” Multipurpose Offshore Patrol Vessel. Singapore will be the first port call in Asia of the ship’s five months global campaign, which marks Singapore’s prominence as a strategic hub. The unit will also be the stage for promoting our excellences in other fields, including culture and scientific research as part of the ‘Italian Festival in Singapore’, the annual festival to be held from May to July 2023.”

The brand new warship was delivered to the Italian Navy in October 2022, at Fincantieri’s shipyard in Muggiano (La Spezia). The PPA Vessel was named after Francesco Morosini, the 108th Doge of Venice and General Sea Captain of the Venetian Fleet (1688 – 1694).

One of the main features of the Francesco Morosini is the new concept bridge “Naval Cockpit”, an integrated system that allows the conduct of the ship and the majority of the
maritime operations by only two operators, the pilot and the co-pilot, who incorporated the
figures of the duty officer on the bridge and the command.

The Multipurpose Offshore Patrol Vessel represents the cutting-edge of Italian technology in the naval and electronic sector.

The warship has a displacement of 6,000 tons and is 143 metres in length and 17.5 metres in width. The Morosini, whose motto is Ex Undis Signum Victoriae (from the waves presaging victory), will be the stage not only for defence-related activities within the warship display but also for institutional and cultural events jointly organized by the Embassy of Italy in Singapore and the Italian Defence Attaché Office in partnership with local institution.
