Editorial by François Landais, President of DIEPPE-NAVALS

I am very pleased to welcome you to the DIEPPE-NAVALS website.

We should firstly acknowledge that at the origin of our association are the very large investments made by the Syndicat Mixte, the Dieppe joint harbour association to boost its four activities (Commerce, Fishing, Leisure boating and the Cross-Channel service); this really changed the economics of the situation.

I would particularly mention the introduction in Dieppe of a 400 tonne capacity boat lift, and the ongoing creation of a dry dock: the only one of its kind in France, which led us, professionals of the maritime sector, with the help of the intercommunity council for the Dieppe Region, to think about how we could structure our own offer around these major facilities.

As professionals, we came up with the idea of consolidating, of forming an association, and our cluster of companies was officially launched at a constituent general meeting on 15 June, 2011. We decided to federate together to promote the real expertise we have in many areas of activity, so as to structure our offer and make it complementary.

DIEPPE NAVALS is also a way of preparing for the future. These days the traffic in the commercial harbour leads us to wonder about future markets and obliges us to be ready for vessels associated with offshore wind farms, and also river transport, thinking of course of the Seine-Nord Canal.

I would like to mention all the active members of DIEPPE-NAVALS:
