10. Offshore
Italy owns only few onshore and offshore oil and gas rigs and fields.
Oil and gas is fully imported from Russia and Middle East countries through
pipeline. This segment does not represent a big business opportunity in Italy.
LNG liquid to gas conversion plants is not yet a developed infrastucture, so not
many opportunities are available for LNG carriers.
Potential in oil and gas technologies is offered by Saipem, known company
operating worldwide in offshore constructions, pipelines and field research. Good
opportunities for the implementation of new technologies and related services.

18. ( 6 to 12 months procedure)
Don’t go there alone! Ask support for basic preparation and local assistance!
Get in touch with the Purchasing Dpt and gain a Company presentation meeting in Trieste.
The meeting is crucial for initial evaluation: be prepared with Company data, product samples, approval
certifications, pictures, catalogs, reference list and a bit of Italian immagination.
Fincantieri will evaluate the benefits/features offered by the candidate Company and will recommend (or
not) to apply to E-procurement portal.
Fincantieri will also check Company potential and reliability (size, credit check and financial status,
references…)
If OK, then Candidate is approved, ranked and allowed to bidding.
The offered products/services must be of interest of Fincantieri.
No business if the Company is not qualified as selected supplier.
18
Supplier selection is a long process
19. How Fincantieri places orders to Suppliers
The list of selected suppliers is sorted per product,
estimated amount of the order, company rank.
Fincantieri will ask the supplier to quote (e-procurement)
The offers are technically balanced and price aligned
