HISTORY OF THE CENTER
1953 - Probably Sogreah's first ship (at Laboratoire Dauphinois d'Hydraulique): the Sovac Comet, a 30 000 t tanker. After three years spent with Esso captains at the end of the 1960's, the Center was taken over by Sogreah in 1970. During the 1970s, most students were captains, while the first pilots came to discover the center.
