The Company
A culture of innovation in service of sustainable development
Established on the Atlantic coast, Chantiers de l’Atlantique is one of the world leaders on the markets of highly complex ships and offshore installations.
Chantiers de l’Atlantique is organized in three distinct business units: ships, marine energy and services. They are recognized experts in the field of designing, testing and turnkey delivery of cruise and navy ships, as well as electrical substations for offshore wind farms. In addition, Chantiers de l’Atlantique relies on its experience in shipbuilding to accompany civil and military shipowners all the way through their ships’ life cycle.
Well aware of the societal, environmental and economic challenge of reducing the environmental footprint of its products, Chantiers de l’Atlantique has been pursuing research and development programs on these themes since 2007. Called the “Ecorizon Program®”, it has already brought significant improvements in terms of energetic efficiency and atmospheric emission reduction.
