PIRIOU Delivers Third Sailing Cargo Ship Atlantis to NEWTOWT

at the Grand Port Maritime de La Réunion, to take on supplies. She will then sail for Brazil on her first commercial crossing before calling at Le Havre, where she is expected in November for an inauguration ceremony. Measuring 81 meters in length with a beam of 11.90 meters, the Atlantis carries up to 1,100 tons of cargo and relies primarily on sail propulsion, supported by two 422 kW auxiliary engines. Her two masts, roughly 64 meters tall, carry about 2,200 square meters of sail area, giving an average speed near 10.5 knots. The ship can accommodate a crew of 7 to 12 and up to 12 passengers. A fourth vessel, the Atlas, launched at PIRIOU's Vietnam shipyard in February, is now fitted with its masts and nearing completion ahead of delivery before year-end. PIRIOU has also recently delivered the Menawethan to the Isles of Scilly Steamship Group and continues building the Scillonian IV, underscoring its broader activity across freight, passenger and island shipping markets.
