French engineering group CNIM unveils aluminium variant of L-CAT catamaran

EDITED BY : DIPANWITA GUPTA 2MINS READ

French engineering firm CNIM has unveiled the modified designs of the new shore-to-shore variant of its L-CAT fast landing catamaran. The modifications were planned keeping requirements of independent amphibious, logistics, and humanitarian relief operations in mind. CNIM is targeting the Southeast Asian region as a particularly promising market for this variable-draught aluminium hull vessel.

The aluminium shore-to-shore variant of L-CAT fast amphibious landing catamaran offers sufficient flexibility to raise or lower a pontoon deck so as to facilitate operation in any one of three modes: in transit, the vessel is a catamaran; in beaching mode, the pontoon is lowered; and in dock mode, the platform is either totally or partially flooded.

News

The French navy service already has one ship-to-shore variant of the L-CAT, with four 30 m craft procured to meet the Engin de Débarquement Amphibie - Rapide (EDA-R) requirement. The new aluminium hull vessel will add further strenth to the naval line-up.

CNIM subcontracted the L-CAT prototype to the Socarenam shipbuilding and ship repair group in Boulogne-sur-Mer, along with two more EDA-R crafts which have been delivered to the Egyptian Navy.
