Les Abeilles

L239’s FOTW flag follows the company website and Hamon’s L’Abeille d’Ouessant. Abeille Gascogne’s photograph on 17 August 2005 confirms the funnel.

Abeille Risdan shows L302, which may represent a harbour-versus-seagoing tug difference.

L306 comes from Adventureux in 2004, with the flag appearing as a superstructure panel. The different funnel treatment probably reflects its short funnel.

A new logo was adopted in 2002. Website use and Abeille Bourbon photographs suggest Bourbon’s logo was adopted for newbuildings; the photograph of 13 January 2006 confirms that adoption.

Les Abeilles originated at Le Havre in 1864. The later group emerged from consolidation of towage companies as Société Provencale de Gestion Maritime, or Progemar, in 1968, becoming G7 in 1990, G7 Les Abeilles in 1991 and Les Abeilles in 1996; the SAS form appears by 2003. It belonged to Groupe Bourbon. Acquisition by Grupo Boluda was announced on 1 October 2007.

France, Le Havre; later Marseillles, Clichy and Paris.
