Strong and deep

expertise

Acerbi 1906 has been successfully working with leading shipyards, general contractors and marine intallers in the new construction of navy ships both for the Italian Navy, as well as foreign Navies. We are on the vendor list of Fincantieri and Leonardo.

Various interventions have been carried out in the construction of new ships as well as in the modernization of the Italian Navy fleet with integrated and customized lighting solutions: navigation lights and control panels, searchlights with integration of local control panel, technical and emergency lights, specific installation material for FREMM, PPA, LSS, PPX and the Italian Navy U212A submarine. Acerbi 1906 provides the Navy with timely and deep expertise in the needs and technical specifications required for the realization of lighting systems and installation material on board navy ships.

This allows us to develop, thanks also to the valuable support of partners, special product codes and installation kit in compliance of the technical specifications, ensuring the standards of performance required and the after-sales service in the spare parts and maintenance management. This market application requires technical specifications and performances at the highest levels: Acerbi 1906 has the expertise necessary to direct vendors in the development of products to support shipyards and installers in the design and implementation of installations.

An opportunity

for a sustainable future

Energy efficiency, electric-powered vessel and digitalization of processes are challenges that Acerbi 1906 faces on a daily basis. The energy transition is one of Acerbi 1906’s priorities, committed on the front line to implement sustainability projects by customers’ side.

The climate goal set by the IMO, which calls for a reduction of at least 40 percent in CO2 emissions from all ships by 2030, is setting new challenges and opportunities in the market. Energy efficiency, decarbonization, environmental protection, extension of product life, optimization of management processes and resulting reduction of operating costs: the actions to be taken.

Acerbi 1906 is at the forefront of the issue of efficient energy. Since September 2023 it is no longer possible to produce fluorescent lamps, the company is working alongside customers in led upgrade projects for the complete replacement of lights on board with multi-years fleet action plans. The company has also developed with partners a “bridge” solution that can ensure the use of led with significant saving costs, ensuring the subsequent supply of spare parts and maintenance work. Another trend is electric traction both on new ships, as well as in the conversion of existing ones. Even in the shipbuilding industry, the trend is working to develop powered thermal generator to be energy independent. The collaboration with customers in optimizing the supply chain and after-sales services goes through a path of digitalization, which will reduce operating costs, maintenance and modernization of the existing fleet.
