French shipowner Atlantique Maritime Services, based in Donges, has taken delivery of a new CTV built by Piriou in its Vietnamese shipyard.

This vessel will join the AMS fleet to serve the French and European offshore wind industry. Sailing under the French flag, the CTV is equipped with a passenger lounge which can accommodate up to 24 technicians. Designed to be multifunctional, the CTV offers decks, an ergonomic wheelhouse and two double cabins for the crew.

It benefits from an impact compensation system fitted in addition to the bow fender as well as a maintenance for its equipment. The vessel, which is 27m in length, can be converted to electric.

The construction of this CTV (which was launched on Piriou’s own funds a year ago) could show Piriou Group’s willingness to strengthen its presence in this sector, after having delivered ten CTVs to European shipowners in the past.

Vincent Faujour, Chairman of the Piriou Group commented: "We were keen to develop our own design in order to respond effectively to the technical developments required by our customers for this type of vessel. Strongly committed to reduce emissions of ships, Piriou is also working on a hydrogen powered CTV."

Jean-Luc Desmars, President of the LHD Group added: "AMS is delighted to welcome a 5th CTV to its fleet. This French flagged new vessel meets the market requirements. Its design 'Hybrid Ready' will reduce the vessel's carbon impact in line with AMS's environmental policy."

JLD VIRGINIE arrived in Brest on March 9 and will reach its home port in a few days.
