Naval Group has been selected to maintain the French scientific vessel Beautemps-Beaupré in operational condition through 2034, with some equipment to be modernised. The contract covers annual technical stops in the first three years, then five optional stops from 2029 until the ship leaves active service.

It said 600 contracts are open this year for that scheme, while Naval Group said it recruited 4,500 people over the past three years.
