"Our Know How"

Fitting

The fittings of vessels built at the shipyard satisfy comfort and safety requirements of persons on voyages.

Ergonomics are not merely the business of architects. The proper positioning of equipment in the right place is a constant concern for our shipyard fitters.

The evolution of techniques to which we are attentive, together with the flexibility of our operators’ skills, bring us to offer our customers finishing standards suited to the purpose of the vessel.

We sometimes have to make specific equipment to satisfy a particular specification. We are careful about the appearance and working qualities of our products, but we are above all attentive about materials ensuring the best durability of fittings in vessels built in our shipyard.

Boiler-making

We respect the conventions of aluminium shipbuilding by implementing the rules of the art they impose :

• Our firm is exclusively specialised in aluminium,
• Our boilermakers and welders are qualified and satisfy the approval criteria of classification companies.

The building of a fast ship requires particular care in the completion of structures: the first fast units built in 1987 at our yard have never caused the least problems for their ship owner.

The shipyard technicians have skills and know-how for construction, complying with the requirements of Classification Companies, for all types of hulls and superstructures, developable or in 6 to 35 m forms of vessels.

Electricity

Electricity is often found to be a cause of major damage on aluminium vessels. The shipyard electricians are perfect masters of their trade. They guarantee the production of sure and functional installations, in which each pole and circuit is identified, labelled, protected by fuse or circuit breaker.

We pay considerable attention to the fixing and protection of cables, so that vibrations do not cause the wear of ducts, a source of loss or short circuits.

We are used to building vessels operated in the tropics, and we know which precautions to take to combat condensation, which on ships can cause rapid equipment degradation.

The choice of equipment approved by Classification Companies, but above all, the meticulous care of our technicians guarantee the quality of our installations.

Finishing

For us, finishing a vessel is not a mere matter of painting it nicely. A well finished vessel is one on which each piece of equipment has been thought out in terms of working qualities and made with scrupulous care in materials guaranteeing its durability.

For this, we have an “accessories” department perfecting and making all these “details”. They are special to the vessels we build. In this way, any “finishing solution”, adopted for a particular unit, then constitutes a standard giving its advantage to following vessels.

We measure the impact of improvements constantly made to our products for customer satisfaction.

Mechanics

It is not only in the mounting of the engine and propulsion shaft alignment that is an absolute imperative. It is also in the care taken in the production of all engine room peripherals that our products are distinguished by their quality.

The concern of our technicians is the ease of life for those who will be responsible for ensuring the trouble-free running of the engine during the operation of the vessel.

For our installations with the most suited equipment, we have not hesitated to develop and produce a certain number of specific accessories.

The engine rooms of our vessels offer ergonomics and working safety, which are the fruit of attentive listening and dialogue with those who sail.
