PIRIOU delivers 50m LCT landing craft ‘SIDI IFNI’ to Moroccan Royal Navy

PIRIOU has just delivered a 50 m LCT (Landing Craft Tank) to the Moroccan Royal Navy  (MRN). The LCT was ordered in 2015 and built in France. The out flagging ceremony took place on July 25th.

The barge ‘SIDI IFNI’ which will be operated in the Moroccan coastal waters, will leave Concarneau by the end of July to get to its basis in Agadir, in convoy with the OPV 70 ‘BIR ANZARANE’ of the Moroccan Royal Navy.

The contract also included the training to handle and operate the vessel for the 22  members of the first crew. This training was organized during the first two weeks of July in  Concarneau.
