Atlantic Marine International

What Atlantic Marine International does

Atlantic Marine International is a French designer and manufacturer of aluminum floating pontoons, pedestrian and cyclist crossing footbridges, embarkation points, and related waterfront infrastructure, founded circa 1979-1980 (formerly operating as Simonneau Marine) and headquartered in Fontenay-le-Comte, Pays de la Loire, with a second production site in Paimboeuf totaling 16,000 m² of manufacturing capacity. The company serves three primary customer segments — marinas and port authorities, municipalities and public-works clients, and aquaculture/fisheries operators — across five continents, with reference projects in France, New Caledonia, Singapore, Hong Kong, the Caribbean, and the Middle East, including the €4.4 million Port Moselle renovation in Nouméa (2019-2021).

The core technology is 6005 T5/T6 marine-grade aluminum construction with MIG welding performed by Bureau Veritas-certified personnel, combined with proprietary modular floatation systems and wave-break pontoons that attenuate up to 60 cm of wave action. Atlantic Marine offers a full product portfolio spanning pleasure, mega-yacht, fishing, and rowing pontoons; maritime and river embarkation points; crossing and floating footbridges capable of 40 m clear spans; wave-breaking pontoons; floating buildings; and a special-projects line that includes the XTREM TOWER (a 12 m floating leisure tower co-developed with Boaz Concept) and fitted containers.

Revenue is generated primarily through custom one-time project contracts (design, manufacture, installation) priced by quote, with a secondary rental stream for temporary pontoon and walkway needs. The go-to-market is direct enterprise sales via [email protected], supported by a website with an interactive project map, downloadable catalogs, and Instagram showcasing completed projects; ISO 9001 certification (since 2015) and Bureau Veritas welding credentials underpin eligibility for public-sector tenders.

The 100% aluminum structure supports up to 50 people and is certified by a fluvial expert.
• Est OuvragesminorImplementation/ SI/ Consulting Partner · 1 January 2021Collaborated with Est Ouvrages (civil engineering and art structures specialist in eastern France) as an alternative contractor for the Colombier-Fontaine cantilevered cycling path project. Atlantic Marine proposed an aluminum solution as a more economical, ecological, and faster alternative to Est Ouvrages' base concrete structure proposal.
• RotocalminorImplementation/ SI/ Consulting Partner · 1 January 2019Local supplier in New Caledonia manufacturing float hulls for the Port Moselle renovation project. Rotocal produces the float envelopes as part of Atlantic Marine's commitment to supporting local activity in New Caledonia.
