French Compagnie Vendéenne has ordered a new 26-metre vessel as part of its ongoing fleet renewal strategy. The company confirms that it continues to prioritise French and local shipbuilding despite strong global competition.
The vessel will be designed by Mer et Design and built by Chantier Naval Delavergne, supported by local subcontractors.
The new ferry is scheduled to be inaugurated in Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie in April 2027.
