The RHONE support and assistance vessel, the second in a series of four designed and built by KERSHIP, ordered in 2015, has just been officially handed over by the French Defence Procurement Agency (DGA).

Delivery of the third unit, the BSAH SEINE, which will take up its first command in Concarneau in September, is scheduled for the first quarter of 2019, and delivery of the 4th unit, the GARONNE, for the summer of 2019.

The BSAH program is being carried out by KERSHIP, which is responsible for managing the contract and industrial coordination. PIRIOU is responsible for the design, construction and testing of these vessels, which are highly versatile and have a thirty-day autonomy.
