Trends in the French marine industry
A
fter experiencing a period of uninterrupted growth since the end of the 1990’s, the French marine industries have seen their situation become significantly strained starting autumn 2008, with a very abrupt slowdown in the number of orders being placed. World leader in sailing boats and inflatable craft, and 4th in building motor boats, the French marine industries are adapting to cope with the situation and prepare, as best as possible, for the recovery, while holding on to their dominant positions. Yachting in France in 2008/2009 Despite the crisis, there is an interest in boating activities that remains strong and a real desire to sail. While there is a certain amount of waiting-and-seeing, there is still a great desire to sail, maintain one’s boat and renew its equipment. Never have the great yacht races attracted so many spectators (more than a million visitors at the start of the Vendée Globe alone…) and the activities linked to water sports aroused such fascination: over 500,000 visitors at the “Get Afloat Weekend”; more than 320,000 Web surfers at www. virtualregatta.com competing in the virtual Vendée Globe. Similarly, numerous disciplines are seeing their number of members increase (canoeing / kayaking, kitesurfing, windsurfing…).
The French Marine Industry: Key Figures
Close to 5,000 companies 45,000 employees • 30 categories of companies (marinas, boat builders, engine builders, parts manufacturers, charter-hire firms, trading and maintenance, surf and outdoor sports, service ,…) • A total turnover on the order of 5 billion Euros • •

Trends in the French marine industry that make it possible to avoid spills when refuelling. More than 5,000 “Blue” boats have been sold to date; • The Federation also endeavours to raise the awareness of yachtsmen to the necessity of adopting an eco-responsible behaviour. To this end it has carried out a wastewater information campaign to encourage yachtsmen to only use eco-friendly detergents and hygiene products, both on board and in everyday life. A good practices guide is also given out to everyone who buys a “Blue” labelled boat.
Pleasure Boating & Sustainable Development Aware of the challenges sustainable development creates for the future of yachting and water sports, the profession gave thought to the matter very early on. Consequently, the French Nautical Industries Federation initiated work in 2002 with a view to setting up, starting 2005, its Bateau Bleu Programme. The aim of the programme is to integrate concern for the environment throughout the lifecycle of a boat. Before • The aim of the Prix Bateau Bleu is to support and encourage research and development of products, systems or concepts suited to pleasure boating and move toward greater protection of the environment; • At the same time, different work groups were formed under the aegis of the French Nautical Industries Federation to give careful thought to the tools and production processes. While in use • By awarding the Bateau Bleu Label, the Federation assures the promotion of bateaux eco-friendly boats and equipment. The label is awarded to boats equipped with systems that permit efficient soiled-water management and to all equipment
At the end of a boat’s life • At the start of 2009, the French Nautical industries Federation created in early 2009, the Association for eco responsible pleasure boating. Based in Caen, the association has as its mission to organise and run the setting up of the French network for dismantling and recycling pleasure craft that have reached the end of their useful lives (BPHU - Bateaux de Plaisance Hors Usage) and by extension, other waste disposal networks linked to all the water sports activities.
