SE-209 Water Injection Dredger

SE-209 is a Water Injection Dredger (WID) designed for shallow water operations up to 5m depth, ideal for maintenance of ports, harbors, canals, and rivers. The compact design of the hull, and avoidance of any hull appendages, was achieved thanks to local narrowing in the breadth of the hull. The pump for the WID system is disposed under the deck, to guarantee a spacious open deck (suitable for 20ft container storage). Two independent drive units ensure increased maneuverability in narrow channels, harbors, and ports.

The L‘Astrolabe

The L’Astrolabe in 2017 replaced the aging L’Albatros patrol vessel and the L’Astrolabe polar logistics vessel (from which she takes her name). The vessel was built by Chantiers Piriou shipyard in Concarneau, France, and delivered in September 2017. The construction of the hull was subcontracted to a Polish shipyard CRIST. The vessel is jointly owned and operated by the French Southern and Antarctic Lands (TAAF) administration, the French Polar Institute (IPEV), and the French Navy. She provides logistics support to scientific bases in the Antarctic Ocean and helps conduct sovereignty and patrol missions in the exclusive economic zones (EEZ) of the French Austral territories.

Michel DSR

This 85 m sand dredger operates on the French maritime coast, loading and transporting marine sand and gravel or mineral products. Built to satisfy many different environmental laws, the ship has two main strengths: it can perform the unloading of dry products and does not, therefore, rely on port infrastructures, also it is purpose-built to optimize voyages and minimize road transport on a regional level. This dredger operates on the depths of up to 40m, whereas conventional vessels can only load from 22/25 metres.
