Piriou is one of the three winners of the Call for notification of interest of the offshore wind Innovation Challenge –managed by WPD and the Brittany maritime cluster -Pôle Mer Bretagne Atlantique.
The French boatbuilder earned the win with its design and concept of a H2 low emission CTV.
This project is part of the plan aiming at reducing greenhouse gas emissions required by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and Piriou’s shipowner customers.
Vincent Faujour, Piriou Group C.E.O. said: “We deeply thank WPD and the Maritime Cluster for awarding this prize and commend the relevance of the project and the quality of the work done by the Piriou design office teams. This award allows us to benefit from the support and experience of WPD – major player of offshore wind- to complete our project up to commercialisation”.
