To quote the French Maritime Cluster, "France, with 11 million square kilometres of exclusive economic zone, 97% of which are in the Overseas Territories, has the world's 2nd largest maritime area".
The French maritime economy is therefore a reality that the French Government has taken full measure of by creating a Ministry of the Sea on 6 July 2020. This ministry is responsible for drawing up and implementing the government's policy in the field of the sea in its various national and international aspects, particularly in terms of the environment, the maritime economy, and maritime influence.
In parallel with governmental actions, groups act in the service of the French maritime economy, such as GICAN, of which the group has been a member since the beginning.
GICAN is a professional union that brings together nearly 200 industrialists and organisations from the French maritime sector.
The aim of this group is to promote the development of the French maritime industry through 3 main missions:
1. Defend the interests of the French maritime industry
2. Promote French maritime technological and industrial expertise
3. To support the harmonious development and competitiveness of the naval industry and the maritime industry sector

Commissioned for use by the Grand Port Maritime de Marseille (GPMM), the 100% electric pollution control vessel developed by EFINOR Sea Cleaner is fully in line with the strategy to decarbonize port activities.
After nearly two years of operation, the teams have embarked on a structured operational monitoring process in direct contact with users in order to capitalize on feedback from the field.
This approach aims to gain a better understanding of the actual operating constraints, everyday conditions of use, and operators' expectations in a complex and highly demanding port environment.
EFINOR Groupe M shipyards will participate in EUROMARITIME, a major event for players in the maritime economy, which will be held from February 3 to 5.
On this occasion, the group will exhibit at the Normandie Maritime stand (Hall 1 – G83) and present its full range of expertise in workboat construction, environmental solutions, and naval engineering.
