New 400T-travel lift installed in Concarneau Harbour

Improvement works to install a new 400T-marine travel lift, and two 200T flatbed trolleys have been completed at Concarneau Harbour, allowing resident refit yard JFA Yachts to increase its superyacht capabilities in Northwest France.

JFA shared that the new 400T-travel lift will allow the Brittany harbour to haul out yachts from 18 to 41-metres (60 to 135-foot) long more flexibly with a quicker blocking process, allowing JFA to continue its development in the refit market.

The new additions to the harbour add to the facility’s existing 2,000T syncrolift, 130-metre-long dry dock, 60-metre private pontoon, and five building halls accommodating yachts from 22 to 50-metres in length.

JFA has shared that the first project to get underway at the updated facility will take place in winter 2018, where it will welcome a 20.1m monohull for maintenance works.
