Building a boat lift in the port of Guilvinec Lechiagat

The port of Le Guilvinec is currently equipped with a boat-lift harness designed to lift boats 35m long and 7.5m wide weighing a maximum of 225 tonnes. This apparatus is today inadequate for local demand.
The development project involves purchasing a 350-tonne capacity boat lift which will also be capable of revolving 360°.

    
   

   
         
   

Technical-economic study for developing the port of Brest strategic plan 2005-2015 (France)

The Brest Chamber of Commerce and Industry has awarded a technical-economic study for a port development scheme to BCEOM. The purpose of the study is to outline, in accordance with this scheme, a commercial strategy and investment plan for the coming fifteen years for developing the Commercial Port of Brest mainly by:
- integrating Brest in the national and European guidelines for ports (trans-european transport networks, transport schemes and multi-modal hubs);
- supporting the port of Brest in its effort to become a trans-shipment port for intra-community traffic, given that the European road network is saturated;
- positioning the port of Brest as an entrance port for traffic with Ireland;
- increasing the port's competitiveness and develop its capacities.

Developing the Lido between Sète and Marseillan (France)

The beach associated with the Lido has been undergoing chronic erosion aggravated by the exceptional storms of 1982, 1997 and 1999.
The objective of the study consists in determining an efficient long-term strategy to protect against marine erosion and find comprehensive, long-term development solutions to cope with tourism, leisure and economic activities taking place there.
