Year 2008 nearly fully booked:

We are proud to announce that our courses are now nearly fully booked for this year. Do not hesitate to book for 2009.

As the initiators of the concept, exactly 40 years ago, we are proud to see that more and more pilots and masters acknowledge manned models as being useful for shiphandling training.

New escort tug: the VELOX

The tug made it from Vancouver where she was built by Ron Burchett, to Port Revel in the French Alps. It is Port Revel's third escort tug. It is a beautiful 37 m (121 ft) tractor tug with Voith Schneider drives and Turbo Fin, designed by Robert Allan in Vancouver and owned by Ostensjo in Norway.
