Construction of the Captain Arctic is currently continuing at Chantier Naval de l'Océan Indien Ltd, with several major milestones reached in July 2026. After being moved onto the site, the vessel received its first two solar wings, each a ten-tonne piece, fitted successively with millimetre precision. This operation required hours of calculation and preparation, with each intervention demanding rigorous coordination between the technical teams. At the end of July, a new decisive milestone marked the project's progress: the vessel's launch, successfully carried out. The Captain Arctic is now continuing its construction afloat, a phase that involves all trades, in line with the standards expected at a shipyard of this scale.

CNOI carried out works on the Alizé 4, an HSC passenger vessel acquired in Croatia by the Mahoran shipping company SGTM, with a clear objective: to fully integrate the vessel into the fleet and adapt it to its new operating area, the Mozambique Channel. This intervention mobilised several trades around a dense works programme, including the vessel's general painting as well as the modifications necessary for its new type of navigation. Each step met the precision and rigour required at a shipyard of this scale.

The Txori Gorri, a 96-metre tuna seiner, called at Chantier Naval de l'Océan Indien Ltd and left it in June 2026, after two months of works. Welcoming a vessel of this size mobilised the full range of the shipyard's expertise, across several areas: complete sandblasting of the underwater and topside hull, mechanical works on the shaft line, rudder and thrusters, as well as the treatment and painting of the tuna holds. Each of these interventions demanded precision, coordination and technical mastery, in line with the standards expected at a shipyard of this scale.

The Pendruc, a tuna seiner belonging to the CFTO shipping company operating in the Indian Ocean, underwent an intermediate technical stopover at Chantier Naval de l'Océan Indien Ltd, from mid-June to the end of July. This six-week intervention mobilised several trades around a dense technical programme, including complete maintenance of the main engine and generator sets, as well as paint touch-ups on the underwater hull. Inspection of the hull valves and the performance of an inclining experiment (stability test) completed this stopover, with each intervention meeting the precision and rigour required at a shipyard of this scale.

The Sir Edouard, a tugboat of the Mauritius Port Authority, was welcomed at Chantier Naval de l'Océan Indien Ltd for its five-yearly technical layup, lasting one month. This comprehensive intervention mobilised several trades around a demanding programme, including the Bureau Veritas classification survey as well as the complete maintenance of the SCHOTTEL azimuth thrusters. Painting of the underwater and topside hull, along with inspection of the towing winches, completed this intervention, with each step meeting the precision and rigour required at a shipyard of this scale.

The Captain Arctic is currently undergoing construction at the Indian Ocean Shipyard Ltd. with another significant milestone: after the complete treatment of its hull, the vessel has now received its first blue livery. This visual advancement coincides with the shipyard entering a more technical phase, where each intervention requires coordination, precision, and rigorous execution. On board, the lining and insulation are now complete. The first bulkheads and cabins are taking shape, while the electrification phase is gradually beginning throughout the vessel. Behind these advancements are numerous trades working simultaneously to advance the project while adhering to the standards expected in a shipyard of this scale.

Commissioned in 2024, the ANDROMACHE, sister ship of the ETOILE, is currently being handled at Chantier Naval de L’Océan Indien Ltd for its transition to the Seychelles Coast Guard colours. Although visual in appearance, this operation involves all the requirements that define high-quality shipyard execution: rigorous preparation, precise application, compliance with expected standards and close attention to every finish. This type of intervention shows that shipyard excellence is not measured only through heavy works or major technical stops, but also through the ability to handle every operation with the same seriousness, method and level of demand.

The ETOILE is currently undergoing an intermediate technical stop at Chantier Naval de L’Océan Indien Ltd, with a work programme including interventions on the shaft lines, steelwork operations on the underwater hull areas and a complete paint application. Although different in nature, these works are driven by the same requirement: to intervene with precision, at the right time and with the level of rigour needed to ensure a reliable and consistent treatment of the vessel. In this type of operation, the quality of the outcome relies on coordination between the different trades, strong technical control and the constant commitment of the teams on site.

After 20 years of operation, the ALAKRANA is undergoing a major technical stop at Chantier Naval de L’Océan Indien Ltd. Scheduled over more than two and a half months of work, including one month in dry dock, this project includes the replacement of the generator sets and the triplex, two major operations requiring advanced technical expertise and a highly structured organisation. In this type of project, success relies not only on the technical complexity of the works, but also on the commitment of the teams, a constant on-site presence and continuous coordination between the different areas of intervention.
