Stabilimento Tecnico Triestino
The Stabilimento Tecnico Triestino (STT) was created in 1857/1858 in Muggia near Trieste from the Strudthoff machine factory in Sant 'Andrea and the San Rocco shipyard. It was one of the largest shipyards in Austria-Hungary , which could produce ships with a displacement of up to 20,500 tons on two slipways .
history
In 1897, STT bought Giuseppe Tonello's large shipyard. The takeover of the majority of shares in STT by major banks and technicians made it possible to build ships up to 20,500 tons. In 1909 the shipyard in Linz was bought and in 1911 the one in Galatz , with which the company also started building river boats. In 1910 the San Rocco shipyard left the company association and, with equal participation with Österreichischer Lloyd, formed the now independent shipyard San Rocco AG, in which only merchant ships were built in future.
From 1916, when Italy entered the First World War, until 1918, STT was briefly called the Austria Werft .
Ships
The battleships SMS Prinz Eugen , SMS Tegetthoff and SMS Viribus Unitis , as well as those of the Habsburg class for the Austro-Hungarian Navy were built at the STT shipyards . But passenger ships such as the Conte Grande (1928) were also built.
