MB92 La Ciotat formally inaugurated its brand-new 4,300-tonne shiplift, ‘Atlas’, yesterday. A lift strong enough to haul even the largest existing superyacht out of the water. The project has been in the pipe-line for 20 years now, conceived by Patrick Boré, President of La Ciotat shipyards, and has finally come to fruition.
The shipyard invited 350 local institutes and many of those who worked on the project to the ceremony. The platform was officially christened by Martine Vassal, President of Métropole Aix-Marseille-Provence and included representatives from all participating institutions: La Ciotat Shipyards, La Ciotat City Hall, Région Sud, Département des Bouches du Rhône and MB92.
