An eco-friendly yacht maintenance area designed to the highest standards

The regular maintenance of your yacht, including sanding, painting, antifouling, and engine/transmission servicing, releases toxins which are harmful to human health and marine organisms alike.

When maintenance is carried out close to the water’s edge, special care must be taken to ensure that these taxie substances are not allowed to run off or blow into the sea, or into the Camargue National Park, which surrounds Port Navy Service.

Thankfully, increasing ecological awareness has translated into real desire to reduce these emissions into our environment, exemplified by the French legislation on water pollution (water law n° 92-3, of 3 January 1992). As sailors ourselves, we know how important clean seas are to our clients.
