Head of mixed ferry certification Kreiz

From September 2016 to March 2017

The old Lorient-Groix ferry Kreiz er Mor has been bought by a Comorian. My mission, along with others, was to find a way to bring her back to Lorient and refit her as much as possible. All this on a very limited budget. My colleagues and I did everything we could but ended up leaving the project to another team. They were more accustomed to Africa and succeeded in making a passage in dry dock at Chantenay and send it to the Comoros. Congratulations! The Kreiz was renamed Fatima under the Comorian flag IMO: 9028031. She is still sailing in the Comoros.

The latest news is that a breakdown has turned her into a floating hotel before she sets sail again… fingers crossed.

origin of the name Kreiz er Mor :Me zo gañnet é kreiz er mor“ (I was born in the middle of the sea)… by the Breton poet Jean-Pierre Calloc'h (1888-1917), from the island of Groix, who was killed by shrapnel during the Great War,
