Ship-ST - Rethinking uses and technologies to reduce ecological impact

"I recommend G.A.C. Group for the quality of their services. I had the opportunity to observe their added values: the adaptability of the facilitators on the format, the reformulations established on scientific subjects to liberate speech, their structuring methodology leaving room for creativity, their regular piloting."

Ship-ST is an SME specializing in naval architecture.

The design office has been selected by the French Research Institute for Exploitation of the Sea (IFREMER) to imagine the oceanographic vessel of the future.

Ship-ST issues

To mitigate the environmental impact of its scientific campaigns, Ship-ST was considering a review of practices and technologies on board its oceanographic vessel.

Accompanying G.A.C. Group

Ship-ST was supported by G.A.C. Group in 2021 for a period of 4 months.
