(Alliance News) - Bellini Nautica Spa on Thursday sealed a partnership with Lanéva, a Monaco-based company that creates, sells and charters 100% electric and luxury boats. This is a worldwide exclusive collaboration referring to the refitting of vintage Riva powerboats.

The Monaco-based company launched and studied with Bellini the first full Electric retrofit kit last September during the Monaco Yacht Show. "With the strong support of the Prince's government and the Mission for Energy Transition (MTE), the first retrofitted Riva Ariston boat is now the cornerstone of this unique combination of skills and knowledge," reads the released note.

Battista Bellini - ceo of Bellini Nautica Spa - commented, "This collaboration is important because it will allow Bellini Nautica to offer luxury boaters sustainable solutions as well, thus contributing to the reduction of the carbon footprint (estimated reduction between 6 and 48 tons/year). In some large European lakes, we have even gone so far as to allow only electrically powered boats to sail, in line with the direction of European legislation regarding the movement of vehicles: without eventually going to that extreme, we still want to be ready in providing a refitting service that is as consistent as possible with the most modern expectations of our clientele."

Bellini Nautica trades up 0.9 percent at EUR2.20 per share.
