On September 29, 2026, a fatal flash fire occurred at the Fincantieri shipyard in Ancona, Italy, while subcontracted workers were performing tasks inside a ship warehouse. The incident initially resulted in the death of a 55-year-old Tunisian man and left a 29-year-old Bangladeshi worker in critical condition with severe burns.

By late October, the second worker, identified as Kabir Mohidul, succumbed to his injuries. In response to the fatalities, labor unions including Fim, Fiom, and Uilm organized strikes and criticized the shipyard’s subcontracting model, arguing it compromises safety and training. 

The Ancona Prosecutor’s Office has opened investigations into manslaughter and negligent injury to determine if combustible gases were present during the fire. Union representatives noted that this incident marks the fourth death at Fincantieri facilities within a three-year period.
