France orders hybrid ships for its Navy
By: Pierre Tran   10 hours ago


PARIS — The French procurement office has ordered the building and servicing of five hybrid-electric propulsion multimission harbor craft, dubbed CMM, from iXblue’s H2X Division and the company Cegelec Defense et Naval Sud-Est.

This was the first acquisition of hybrid diesel- and battery-powered vessels for the French Navy, the Direction Générale de l’Armement said in a statement
. The contracts were signed March 6 and followed an operational evaluation of the first prototype craft, which began in November.

A DGA official declined to give a value for the contract, which included options for two more vessels. Delivery is due to start mid-2019 and continue to mid-2020. IXblue will build the vessels, and Cegelec will maintain them for 10 years.


(...SNIPPED)
