On
15th of July 2015 CMN received a favorable response to the call for manifestation
of interest “Factory of the Future in Normandy”. According to a CMN statement "The first ship launch at CMN took place back in 1948, our buildings are old and we are limited in our production capabilities. The current layout no longer corresponds to today’s industrial logic; we need to improve the optimization of our material flows and on our productivity". CMN new shipyard facility would be spread over 80,000 square meters, half of them to be reclaimed from the sea, with 32,500 square meters of covered surfaces.
