Metalcost S.p.A. is born in 1962 in the suburb of Arcola where some businessmen of La Spezia built us a workshop for steel handling and construction basically dedicated to the building of industrial structures and naval blocks. In the 70th, to complete an important order, the company purchase an area on the river Magra close to the sea, where one slipwayway was already established; here were completed the first barges for harbour and hoffshore activity. From there development of the company and naval constructions became a continuous combination. Meantime the initial area were enlarging, by merging with the neighbour shipyard Euormare, then with three slipways for ships erection.
