FREMM TLSM Amendment No. 5 Signed

Muggiano/La Spezia/Italy - 18 November 2024, at the OCCAR premises in Muggiano, the Amendment Nr.5 to the TLSM (Through Life Sustainment Management) Contract has been signed by the Orizzonte Sistemi Navali Manager Director Mr. Giovanni SORRENTINO and the OCCAR - HORIZON Programme Manager Mr. Luigi Durante.

This contract, which commenced in late 2019, was aimed to provide the In-Service Support to 10 Italian FREMM Frigates up to June 2025. The signing of Amendment No. 5 was an important step forward for the conclusion of the contractual activities to ensure the complete delivery of corrective maintenance and all deployment activities for the FREMM Class Naval Units up to the end of the contract.

The importance, that Italy provides OCCAR as an Organisation by assigning it the mandate for the management of the TLSM Contract, must be highlighted. This is the result of excellent synergies established between the Italian Navy, the OCCAR HORIZON Programme Division and Industry achieved throughout the development of the initial ISS (Temporary Global Support), through which significant know how and experience were developed which led to successfully tailoring the new support approach to the real operational requirements and consequently optimizing its cost-effectiveness.
