Although the reverberations of the international slump can still be felt throughout the sector, the Italian yard Mondo Marine has a healthy workload, and is currently working on five new craft. In order to fulfil intense client demand for new builds and total refits, Mondo Marine decided to extend its premises and equipment. The Italian yard’s production site now covers a waterfront area of 35,500 square metres/382,119 square feet. Available facilities include a 100-metre /330-foot jetty for maxiyacht moorings, an 820-ton/1,810,000 lb travel lift, one of the largest in the Med, plus a 300-ton/663,000 lb cradle.
