PIRIOU delivers on October 26th in Concarneau, France, 72 m hydro-oceanographic and multi-missions vessel (BHO2M) ‘DAR AL BEIDA’ to the Moroccan Royal Navy.

This contract is the third the Moroccan Royal Navy (MRM) entrusts PIRIOU with – following the contract for the building of a 50 m Landing Craft Tank and the refit of offshore Patrol Vessel (OPV) 64 ‘Rais Bargach’.

The BHO2M is able to fulfil long lasting operations, mainly hydrographic and oceanographic missions such as the completion of topographic studies, data acquisition and process, scientific sampling and the related analyses. She is fitted with an appendix where the acoustic bases of the scientific equipment -including the two multibeam echo sounders- are located.

As the most performing vessel of her generation regarding acoustics, the BHO2M will be able to achieve these missions at high speed while in a rough sea.
