The EFINOR group is proud to announce the signature of a major contract for its subsidiary EFINOR Allais, with one of its long-standing customers, BOURBON, marking a new stage in a relationship of lasting and strategic trust. The contract covers the manufacture of six "S200X G2" vessels, based on an improved design of the 4 vessels delivered in recent years.
The construction of these units is part of an ambitious industrial schedule, with delivery of the first vessel scheduled for 14 months, and the last for 17 months. The rigor of this schedule testifies to the dedication of our shipyard teams, the robustness of our project organization, and the mastery of our industrial processes.
This new order consolidates the Group's position in the naval sector, while illustrating its ability to support its partners in their fleet renewal or expansion requirements. Thanks to its integrated expertise, our shipyard has established itself as a trusted player, capable of delivering turnkey solutions in a constantly evolving technological and regulatory environment.
François Leslé, CEO of Bourbon Mobility: "The fruit of a long-standing collaboration between EFINOR Allais and BOURBON, these new crewboats will offer an optimal balance between modularity, comfort and energy efficiency. With an objective of reducing fuel consumption by around 20% compared with the previous generation, this new series demonstrates the commitment of BOURBON and its teams to promoting sustainable navigation practices, while continuing to innovate for its customers".
"This contract is both recognition of the work accomplished by our teams, and a great prospect for the future. It reflects our ongoing commitment to providing high-performance, long-term industrial solutions tailored to the challenges faced by our customers", emphasizes Christophe Poizeau, Chief Operating Officer of EFINOR Allais.
The manufacture of these ships will require a robust industrial organization, and will also contribute to local employment and the reputation of the French shipbuilding industry.
EFINOR Groupe M shipyards will participate in EUROMARITIME, a major event for players in the maritime economy, which will be held from February 3 to 5.
On this occasion, the group will exhibit at the Normandie Maritime stand (Hall 1 – G83) and present its full range of expertise in workboat construction, environmental solutions, and naval engineering.
