Shipbuilding and leisure boatbuilding
Ships are subject to increasingly rigorous safety and environmental constraints and therefore must have access to efficient services supported by the latest technology both when at sea and in port. Risk prevention and maritime operations are therefore going to be progressively calling on e-maintenance and automation when at sea and on modelling and structural diagnostics to facilitate maintenance when in port.
Given the experience and needs of the shipbuilding and engineering industries, technological innovations devised by research laboratories and SMEs are set to generate new services relating to environmental protection and health and safety at work.
The presence of DCN positions Brest as the foremost port in France for naval fleet maintenance and that of SOBRENA makes it leading French port for merchant shipping repair. The cutting-edge technology of companies such as RoboPlanet and T2EM adds value to traditional activities employing almost 8 000 people in Brittany. These companies aim to strengthen their leading role and their capacity to develop the region as an advanced, Atlantic seaboard base for fleet servicing and maritime transportation quality control.
