On 26 April 2016, Australia chose France as its preferred partner for its Future Submarine Program. This enormous undertaking — estimated at €34 billion over 50 years — calls for the design, construction and in-service support of 12 conventional blue-water submarines. It also aims to give the country a sovereign submarine construction industry and to supply the Royal Australian Navy with regionally superior subs that outclass those of other powers in the broader region.

“Brittany Ferries first began thinking about liquefied natural gas propulsion in 2009. Since then, it’s become part of who we are” says Frédéric Pouget, the company’s fleet manager and head of maritime and port operations. Frédéric and his team have spent years investigating LNG propulsion. LNG enables ferry operators to meet international regulatory requirements regarding sulphur oxides (SOx) while reducing other emissions relative to fuel oil, including nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulates, and CO2.

CNB Pro, a department of Bordeaux-based yacht- and boatbuilder CNB, builds passenger boats for commercial operators. CNB Pro has been particularly busy of late. In early May, the department delivered five passenger boats to UBA, an operator based at Arcachon bay on France’s Atlantic coast south of Bordeaux. These boats are 14.15 metres in length for a beam of 4.56m and carry up to 49 passengers. Powered by a pair of 280-hp Cummins QSB 6.7 engines, they offer a top speed of 18 knots and, thanks to advanced automation, can be operated by the captain unaided.

Following its complete refurbishment and transformation to accommodate superyachts, the large drydock at La Ciotat was formally declared open for business on Monday 3 April. Originally 335 metres in length by 60 in width, the facility was commissioned in 1969 to build large ships. In 1988, shipbuilder Normed closed the drydock and yard marking the end of a long history in shipbuilding. In 2000, the yard reopened to service large yachts. Interest in the precinct’s potential revived, except that it was too big for even the biggest superyachts.

On 21 April, the Le Havre pilot station took delivery of the L’Hirondelle de la Manche, a new 12-metre pilot boat designed by the Pierre Delion naval architecture bureau in cooperation with the Sibiril Technologies boatyard. For the design and production teams she’s a “little gem”. On 17 March, the new model passed a capsize recovery test with three people aboard, which is no mean feat for a boat of this size.
