France: Lafarge France has hired Leclanché to upgrade its pusher tugboat Marsouin to a diesel and electric hybrid propulsion system. The supplier will install a 766kWh 65 Ah Navius MRS-3 battery system in the vessel, which operates mostly on the River Seine.

Lafarge France river operations manager Kevin Audegond said "The retrofit of our Marsouin pusher is the first stage in an ambitious programme to modernise our entire fleet by 2030, which will make it possible to transport our materials more ecologically and reduce our environmental impact in the long term.”
