This week, we were delighted to welcome our customer, ARDITI, to the shipyard for a visit of their future research vessel.They had the opportunity to inspect the vessel, review the progress of the construction and discuss the last comments and requests before the painting phase.

As a reminder, Chantier Naval Gléhen is actually building a 𝗺𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗹 for ARDITI, dedicated to scientific missions in the shallow waters around the islands of the Madeira archipelago and in the high seas.

The vessel is designed to deploy a wide range of scientific equipment such as 𝗗𝗿𝗶𝗫, 𝗥𝗢𝗩𝘀, 𝗔𝗨𝗩𝘀 and other autonomous systems. She is also equipped with dedicated manutention equipments including an 𝗔-𝗳𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲, 𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗵𝘀 and a 𝗰𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗲.

The boat is a true floating laboratory, the vessel will accommodate up to 𝟭𝟬 𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝘀𝘁𝘀 for missions of up to 𝟭𝟬 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀.

Thanks to ARDITI team for the quality of our discussions, their confidence and the excellent collaboration throughout this project.

We hope they will enjoy their vessel as much as we have enjoyed building it!
