The Itarus semi-submersible floating platform for transporting special material decommissioned by the Russian Navy has been delivered to the shipyard in Muggiano, in La Spezia, Italy. It was built by Fincantieri for RosRAO, the Russian Federal State Unitary Enterprise for radioactive waste management. The contract to build Itarus was signed by the Italian Ministry of Economic Development, RosRAO and Fincantieri in November 2013 during the Italy-Russia Business Forum, held in Trieste. It followed the 2003 cooperation agreement between the Russian and Italian government for the decommissioning of nuclear submarines and the safe management of radioactive waste and nuclear fuel. That agreement was defined within the framework of the Global Partnership, started in the 2002 G8 summit in Canada.
