Explaining that the deep crisis crossed from the companies of the field from 2008 has determined a constant decrease of the number of ships specialized under the French flag and now it threatens the entire field, Armateurs de France and unions have emphasized the necessity to maintain a minimal ability to marine transport under the national flag in order to answer in time crisis to the energy requirement of the Country and its Armed Forces.
"Every time that we lose ships - it has found president of Armateurs de France, Raymond Vidil - we lose also places of work of marine French highly characterized, that they are the heart of our activity. Soon it will be impossible to maintain a row because we will not have enough marine formed and characterized French. Without ships and marine French in order to provision our Country with oil or coal not there is more strategic independence".
