West Navaltech Srl is a company specialized in the design and construction ​of highly technological work boats and in the engineering and construction ​of steel or aluminum hulls and superstructures. Thanks to our expertise and ​professional competence we also operate in naval mechanics and plant ​engineering with the support of a chain of carefully selected suppliers and ​collaborators. We strongly believe that in shipbuilding the project is the most ​important matter in order to reach the target in terms of product quality, ​production times and order budgets. This conviction leads us to offer our ​customers with integrated services to support the design and shipbuilding.

West Navaltech Srl was established consequently to a ​prolonged collaboration between Eng. Livio Franchini and ​West Africa trading Company Srl.

Eng. Livio Franchini, after his classical studies, graduated in ​Naval Engineering at the University of Genoa. Once ​terminated his studies he built his career working firstly at a ​construction site of work boat units specialized in the ​maintenance and repair of the Italian Navy and the Italian ​coast guard vessels . In recent years as technical director ​and project manager he overlooked the construction or ​total refitting of over 10 work boats units. These vessel were ​mostly 14 to 50 meters in length. Furthermore he was in ​charge of the construction of 11 hulls and respective ​superstructures in steel and / or aluminum from 39 to 70 ​meters in length.

West Africa Trading Company srl opened its doors in 2000, making use of previously ​accumulated experience tracing back to 1970 in the supplies and processing sector with ​the Navy (Arsenale della Spezia) and in shipbuilding.

Our activity in these two sectors have allowed us to come into contact with many primary ​Italian suppliers, with which we held fruitful commercial relationships.

Since the year 2000 we supply naval spare parts to foreign companies in the field of ​diving, electrical and mechanical works, marine research and oil extraction.

In order to carry out these activities at best, West Africa Trading Company Srl has ​supplied a number of patrol boats to foreign shipowners.

West Africa Trading Company also takes care of the procurement of any component ​necessary for the maintenance of these patrol boats.

These activities allowed us to contact and build relationships with some of the major ​naval engine manufacturers and suppliers of equipment.

The experience gained and the future prospects in the work boat market have led us to ​consider the opportunity to expand our business in the naval sector with the set up of a ​new company "WEST NAVALTECH Srl” in partnership with the Eng. Livio Franchini.
