H2X and Cegelec Naval Defence and SouthEast have received a contract from the French Direction Générale d’Armement (DGA) to supply six chalands multi-mission (CMM) barges for the French Navy.

The new ships, with hybrid drive, feature an electric propulsion system, which allows operations either by generators running on diesel (classic mode), or by rechargeable batteries docking or at sea (zero emissions).
The CMM will have a maximum speed transit phase in classic mode, and a low-speed operation phase in zero emission mode.
With a length of 24m and width of 8m to 53t displacement, the CMM will feature a aluminium composite hull and superstructure that will limit their weight.
