COMPAGNIE MORBIHANNAISE ET NANTAISE DE NAVIGATION.

Rosanoski could not confirm the C449 funnel through the cited research.

Mitchell supplies these funnels without dates; they appear to relate to vessels before 1987. C876 seems to have a wide panel rather than a band, although Mitchell slopes its sides to follow the funnel shape.

The company was formed in 1987 by merging Compagnie Morbihannaise de Navigation, founded in 1953, with Société Nantaise des Chargeurs de l’Ouest. One account makes the former a subsidiary of Société Francaise de Transports Maritimes, subsequently Compagnie Nationale de Navigation, whereas Pavillon places it under Société Nantaise des Chargeurs de l’Ouest in 1968. In 2001 the company divided into Société Morbihannaise de Navigation for southern Brittany island services and Compagnie Maritime Nantaise for other shipping operations.

France Shipmanagement S.A. was a joint venture with Compagnie de Navigation, Nouvelle Compagnie de Navigation and Société Française de Transports Pétrolièrs, and managed part of the fleet. The company operated for Société Française de Transports Maritimes and for the departments of Morbihan and Loire-Atlantique.
