MAIN ACTIVITIES
Thanks to its extensive quay space and robust infrastructure, Piombino Industrie Marittime has rapidly established itself as a premier hub for integrated maritime services. The shipyard encompasses all core business lines of its shareholders, with a strategic focus on ship recycling, new building, maintenance, repairs, and refitting.
This operational versatility is underpinned by the Integrated Environmental Authorisation (AIA) granted by the Tuscany Region (Decree No. 4433 of 27.03.2019 and Decree No. 13035 of 20.08.2020, authorising the commencement of activities).
Ships and yachts constructions & outfitting
In both New Building and Refit & Repair operations, Piombino Industrie Marittime – working in close synergy with Genova Industrie Navali – provides diversified services. By complementing other GIN Group companies traditionally based in Genoa and Marseille, PIM effectively expands the Group’s overall capacity.
In the New Building sector, GIN Group companies leverage over 90 years of expertise to specialize in luxury cruise ships and mega-yachts, with the capacity to construct vessels exceeding 200 meters in length.
Our approach is entirely bespoke: every stage of the design, engineering, and construction process is dedicated to achieving the highest quality and most meticulous level of detail.
From mid-range vessels to ‘giants of the sea,’ the Group possesses the infrastructure, personnel, and technical expertise to handle any repair or structural transformation.
