In addition, 62 nautical and shipbuilding companies are active in Olbia, equal to 11% of all the companies in the district, and employ 374 employees.
"The Sardinia Nautical Fair can be one of the first moments of return to normality and restart for all companies in the nautical sector and beyond", said the president of Cipnes Gallura, Gianni Sarti, at the presentation of the first edition of the event. .
"There is a need to give visibility to the nautical sector - added Angelo Colombo, manager of the Fair organization -, which has the potential to be developed, and to the entire productive fabric of Sardinia." From the first numbers, not yet definitive, there will be 80 units at sea, 75 ground stands of companies in the sector and the main national shipyards, plus the spaces of the Insula project, with local crafts and food and wine products.
