The Metropolitan Support and Assistance Ship (BSAM) SEINE is the third in a series of four ships designed and built by KERSHIP. Ordered in 2016, it has just been officially delivered by the French Defence Procurement Agency (DGA).
The fourth unit, the BSAM GARONNE, is due to be delivered in summer 2019, with the first command ceremony taking place in Concarneau in March.
The BSAM program is being carried out by KERSHIP, which is responsible for managing the contract and industrial coordination.
