Chantiers de l'Atlantique, is a shipyard based in Saint-Nazaire, France. It is one of the world's largest shipyards, constructing a wide range of commercial, naval and passenger ships. The shipyard was owned by Alsthom from 1976 onwards, became Alsthom-Atlantique and was later part of Aker Yards when Aker Group acquired the Alstom Marine business in 2006.[1][2] In 2008, the South Korean company STX Corporation acquired Aker Yards, and the shipyard became part of STX Europe (formed by the renaming of Aker Yards).[3]. In 2018 the shipyard was partly acquired by Italian shipyard Fincantieri (50%), after the bankruptcy of STX Corporation and was renamed again to Chantiers de l'Atlantique. Its location near Nantes, at the mouth of the Loire and the deep waters of the Atlantic makes sailing large ships in and out easier.更多信息
