This French yacht-builder has just acquired the International Marine Services shipyard in Toulon, a development which marks the firm’s desire to underpin its position as service-supplier. Each year, the centre handles about 100 boats 20 to 50 metres long. It proposes work to meet new norms, decoration, technical improvements, replacement of engines and general maintenance. As well as yachting activities such as chartering, crew training and display of secondhand boats. With a surface area of 12,950 m2 and 250 m of quaysides, the group’s arrival in the Mediteranean will not pass unnoticed. To be continued… IMS, Le Pin Rolland CD 18, Saint-Mandrier (04 94 30 54 94).
