Some of you were disappointed when you stopped receiving the 'Stop-News' for a few month.
This is because we went through a period where the regional and national press were publishing a series of articles concerning our prospective departure for St. Malo.
We felt that our Stop-News wasn't the right place to deal with this issue, and that our silence might be mis-interpreted.
So we prefered to suspend our publication until the question had benn settled definitively.
This is now the case : Chantiers Allais will stay in Dieppe.
This means that we can get on with our normal activities, and start giving you news about our company ouce again.
Your interest in our news sheet has touched us, and in the coming months we will attempt to meet your expectations concerning information about the shipyard.
So, let's get on with the news..... see you soon !

Survex 700 : A flexible tool
Last June the shipyard developed this 7m20 unit intended for bathymetrical operations.
The concept, defined by the COMEX and the company MESURIS, is based on a system which allows a large flexibility in the use of this kind of vessel, which carries out one-off missions.
The ship is built around its sounding apparatus and computer unit, which relays pictures of the river-bed and banks taken in one excursion. It is delivered with its trailer equipped with a hydraulic crane. It can therefore operate on various sites even if they are geographically far apart.
Yole 850 : The future of small scale fishing in martinique
Conceived by a partnership with the west indies marine service, this 8m50 unit, propelled by a 200cv in-board diesel engine, is intended for coastal fishing in Martinique and Guadeloupe.
The amount of fish required in Martinique and Guadeloupe isn't met by local fishing, which covers only 30% of the demand. Imports of red smapper, the most appreciated species on the market, come essentially from Guianese waters where numerous Venezuelan fleets exploit the ressources.

Environmentalists studying our climate have told us about global warming. The resulting rise in sea levels will change our coastline. And if we imagine what our aquatic environment will be in the future…
An interesting perspective for us shipbuilders!
But in the meantime won’t we have lost that know-how which was the pride of our trade?
European directives are aiming at a reduction in our capacities, and even if funding is accorded when sites are closed down, they are excluded from projects to create development in our activity.
In the long run won’t we be victims of the kind of short-term politics, that our leaders have accustomed us to?
From this point of view, saving Alstom is rather reassuring – as long as the ‘Chantiers de l’Atlantique’ don’t bear the costs of this. The question is worth considering, as since they have been in the heart of the group, despite increased productivity, they have never been economic.
Long live global warming!!!

The Surfers 200 and 1500
These two ships which are being built in our workshops at the moment, will be delivered mid November, and will then set out for the Indonesian off-shore oil fields.
The Surfer 200 (left photo), which is 20 metres long and propelled by three diesel hydro jets, each of which have a horsepower of 830, is the first of its type to be built in the shipyard.
The Surfer 1500 (right photo), 15 meters long, was also designed by the design and data department ‘M.S.I’.
Passenger comfort on these two ships is ensured by the suspension mounted on the upper works by means of elastic contacts.
News from the Basque Country
In our December 2002 edition we mentioned the delivery of the bare hull of ‘Vital 40’, whose owner was to complete the constructions himself.
It was a pleasure to receive the photos which confirm that the work is well underway.
Launching is planned for 2004.

The period we have just gone through has truly shaken us up and jarred our consciences: the Irak war, SARS, the retirement pension reform.
The upcoming holidays will, as each year, plunge us into the laziness of summer and rest. It is our greatest wish that it should be good for everybody.
Our second greatest wish would be that our shipping channels should return to real dynamism this autumn. We cannot be content with the effect of announcements, but truly to support the order books of network companies.
If we are at this time privileged to have several months of business in front of us, we would like this to be so for all, for a network in good health is the best guarantee for each of our companies.

The Design Office
Perfectly incorporated in the business, equipped with computer programmes for hull lines, stability calculations, the toughness of materials and performance forecasts, our design office ensures the design of the vessels we build.
It is involved in our R&D programmes, and is able to give the right technical solutions to the fields of finishing, comfort and acoustics that make our productions stand out.
It is attentive to clients needs and has mastered the regulations in force surrounding the design and construction of a sea-going vessel, enabling the company to propose reliable and suitable solutions.
Work boats
If the Allais Shipyards are better known for its SURFER constructions, it also is responsible for shipping work units, in the same reliable spirit of partnership, in the fields of special business such as piloting, bathymetry, oceanography, the fight against pollution, coast surveillance and firefighting.
Diving boats
Half way between the work boat and pleasure craft, the diving support unit offers the business an occasion to show off its skills.
Involved since 1986 in the design and construction in this type of vessel, listening to experienced divers has brought us to design units suited to their special needs. With more than 40 vessels completed, the Allais Shipyards are truly specialists in this field.

There is no bad material, there is only bad implementation…Steel, Alloyed, composite, the debate about choice of a building material is often feed with tall talks which grown up during painful experiments, the most often attached to wrong implementation.
Of course, each building material has its own field of application:
Steel will be opportunely used in heavy displacement working boats as : tugs, trawlers.
Fibre glass is the best choice for small serial units Others composites remain rare because of their cost.
Aluminium, thanks to its physical characteristics and its well-controlled implementation, is successfully used in building by unit harbour services, passengers transport or leisure boats.
As when the ship owner asks to a yard that has proved its know how, he will not have to disclaim with disorders. By the way, a boat is not only a hull. So we have decided to speak about the other jobs of boat building in this issue of our Stop-News.
Chantiers ALLAIS has developed internal hard skills in all the jobs involved in boat building. So we can warrant the quality of our boats because its only depends on ours know how.

Insulation
Insulation satisfies to 3 essential needs :
- Fire protection,
- Noise reduction,
- Passengers’ comfort.
Thanks to a deep knowledge of material and techniques, the yard is able to satisfy the most restricting fire fighting rules, and brings a real environmental comfort to the users.
Electricity settings
Electrical equipment has become an essential component of the boat, that can not now be driven without it.
Chantiers ALLAIS through the perfect knowledge of maritime rules and thanks to the professionalism of its technicians brings a full security in electrical settings on board.
Painting
Under water hull parts must be painted, because painting has a role in cathodic protection of aluminium in sea water.
Other parts of an aluminium boat are only painted for aesthetic reasons.
In any case, Chantiers ALLAIS brings full respect in following prescriptions of paints suppliers, using exclusively their range of product dedicated to aluminium.
