French Navy takes delivery of second BRF supply vessel

The vessel features four refuelling stations, enabling it to service two ships simultaneously, and two supply masts with a 2.5-tonne lifting capacity for solid cargo such as ammunition and spare parts. Accommodation is provided for 200 people, including 140 crew members.

Chantiers de l'Atlantique was responsible for the platform design, construction, and commissioning, while Naval Group handled the design and integration of military systems, including the combat system. Italian shipyard Fincantieri participated as a subcontractor, constructing a section of the hull.

The first ship in the series, the Jacques Chevallier, was delivered in July 2023.
