PIRIOU AND DCNS JOINTLY WIN THE B2M CONTRACT

PIRIOU and DCNS have jointly won the contract to supply three multi-mission ocean-going vessels, with an option for a fourth, and associated maintenance services.

This program, notified by the DGA (Direction Générale pour l’Armement), for which PIRIOU is the lead contractor, is part of the B2M (multi-mission vessels) contract. It covers the design and construction of three 65-metre-long multi-purpose offshore vessels with a displacement of around 1,500 tonnes, to be delivered in 2015 and 2016.

PIRIOU is in charge of designing and building the ships. DCNS is co-contractor with PIRIOU for military studies and the supply of onboard communication systems (SITIP), and will be responsible for the In-Service Support (ISS) of each ship for up to 6 years.
