Saipem in France

Since 2002, Saipem has had a presence in France through its subsidiaries Saipem and Sofresid Engineering. The company is already involved in renewable energies through its New Energies business unit inside its E&C Offshore Division. Naval Energies has over ten years of experience in floating offshore wind and has created a semi-submersible floater idea that is among the best on the market.

Naval Group ceasing renewable energy business

Naval Group declared at the beginning of February that it was discontinuing its developments in the offshore renewable energy sector by initiating a process aimed at the closure of Naval Energies’ activities, including the search for a buyer for all or a portion of the company’s activities. The transaction is subject to the receipt of the necessary administrative approvals.
