Pleasure crafts for urban waterways

One of the specific activities developed by the firm is the design and construction of pleasure craft for urban waterways, for the Bateaux Parisiens navigation company. These ferry-type craft are a well-known feature in Paris, where they carry sight-seers up and down the Seine. Their open decks and fully glazed superstructures offer passengers panoramic views with protection from wind and rain. The transparent above-deck housing is carried by a slender steel frame. The structure of the hull is similar to that of a trimaran; and is built of steel, like the superstructures that carry the glazing.
