Livadia, 30m Moonen and La Polonia, 47 m Swift ships have already been hauled out for maintenance operations from the fairing to the recovery of bridge. On the 29th November 2018, we assisted the haul out of Keri Lee III, a Trinity Yacht. Just 20 days after the opening, the shipyard welcomed it’s third Superyacht, for a period of 4 months of works, which also coincided with her class registration visit.
The brand new shipyard at La Seyne-sur-mer, which opened on November 1st, is a leading example of the latest state-of-the-art maintenance and refit shipyard. Specializing in the Superyacht segment for yachts between 30m and 55m (100 to 500 tonnes), this new facility allows us to accommodate, in the best conditions, and with the best tools up to 28 yachts at the same time. This huge capability gives Toulon’s bay a global destination for the key players of the sector. The site of La Seyne-Toulon is therefore one of the largest sites dedicated to the maintenance of 50-meter superyachts in Europe (40,000sqm), demonstrating the excellence of the French know-how in this area. Located in a very well secured and protected bay, the shipyard offers a dock of 148m allowing 12 to 14 Superyachts to stay for a technical pit stop or works afloat. On the ground, thanks to a brand new 560 tonnes travel lift, 12 to 14 Superyachts can be hauled out for major refits or class registrations as examples. A 35 tonnes crane completes the list of tools available and a team of 40 workers, from craftsmen to project managers and crew concierge services assist the clients during their shipyard period. One additional service is also provided by this new shipyard : a specific marina dedicated to Superyacht tenders, with three floating pontoons allowing them free access to the sea.
