SODEMO NC

What SODEMO NC does

SODEMO NC (legally, Société d'Économie Mixte de la Baie de la Moselle) is a French-style public-private partnership (société d'économie mixte) incorporated in 1987 in Nouméa, New Caledonia. The company operates and manages five recreational and professional marinas in the Nouméa area — Port Moselle, Port Brunelet (120 berths, Pavillon Bleu-certified since June 2019), Port Boulari (110 floating berths plus 90 dry-dock places), Port Garnier (90 berths, concession held since September 2020), and Nouville Plaisance (120 dry-dock berths on a 1.5-hectare site). Majority ownership sits with the Commune de Nouméa at 76%, with the Port Autonome de Nouméa, the Chambre de Commerce et d'Industrie de Nouvelle-Calédonie, and the Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations as additional shareholders; the 12-member board is chaired by Jean-Pierre DELRIEU. Service scope covers mooring, travelift boat handling, berthing, fuel supply, waste collection, water and electricity utilities, security (including night VHF watch), and boat maintenance/repair, with operations governed under ICPE environmental regulations.

SODEMO monetizes its infrastructure through direct on-site port operations — berth rentals, slip leases, fuel sales, maintenance and repair services, and ancillary marina fees — across its five Nouméa-area facilities, serving both recreational boaters and professional mariners in New Caledonia. Headcount is small at 11 employees, and no revenue, pricing, or unit economics are publicly disclosed. The company is a member of the Fédération Française des Ports de Plaisance, accessing skills mutualization across the French pleasure-port network, and maintains a CMS-driven website plus Facebook and LinkedIn profiles as its principal marketing channels.

There are no reported technology platforms, AI/ML capabilities, mobile applications, or APIs; the operating model is principally physical infrastructure management with traditional concession and regulatory frameworks rather than a technology-product business. Forward signals are limited to the September 2020 Port Garnier concession expansion and the Pavillon Bleu environmental certification.
