Ship Repair
A Ship Repair Stronghold
Does one of your vessels require maintenance work? Do you want to modify the vessel’s means of propulsion? Nantes ‒ Saint Nazaire Port has the solution. With its different dock facilities and its rich industrial ecosystem, Saint Nazaire has established itself as a stronghold for ship repair and maintenance activities on France’s Atlantic Seaboard
Professionals at the Service of Shipowners
Nantes ‒ Saint Nazaire Port proposes an integrated service provision for the reception of vessels, the deployment of its plant and equipment or the installation of keel blocks for dry docking. The local industrial fabric complements that offer. Mechanical engineering, sheet-metal working, marine electrical engineering… all the specialist trades are present alongside the Saint Nazaire dock basins!
Docks Suitable for Different Types of Vessels
Three dry docks and the Joubert sluice dock make it possible to receive many different types of vessels. The dry docks have the advantage of giving directly onto the Penhoët dock basin, and therefore of being accessible whatever the tidal conditions. For its part, the Joubert sluice dock is ideally suited for carrying out work on larger vessels or on unusual items, as was the case for the float of the Floatgen prototype wind turbine, for example.
