FLYTRANS, A BALGUERIE GROUP BRAND, JOINS THE OCEANO SCIENTIFIC ASSOCIATION FOR CORAL PRESERVATION

On November 6th, 2023, Flytrans, a Balguerie Group brand specializing in transport and logistics, officially joined the OceanoScientific association as a partner in expeditions to save coral reefs. This collaboration is part of the OceanoScientific Coral Reefs Expeditions 2023-2030 project, which aims to protect threatened marine ecosystems and increase scientific knowledge of the ocean.

FLYTRANS’ KEY ROLE IN SHIPMENTS

Flytrans, which excels in the management of complex transport operations, contributes its logistical expertise to support OceanoScientific in its missions. Specifically, Flytrans is involved in transporting the precious marine samples collected during the expeditions, particularly in little-explored areas such as the Mozambique Channel.

These samples, which include rare marine organisms from coral reefs, require delicate transport and a rigorous cold chain, a field in which Flytrans is particularly qualified.

FLYTRANS, ALWAYS ON DECK TO SAVE THE OCEANS

Flytrans’ logistical support goes far beyond transport. The company is also involved in the outfitting of the LOVE THE OCEAN catamaran, a vessel refitted as an oceanographic platform.

This catamaran is often used for expeditions to the Indian Ocean’s Éparses islands, enabling researchers to gain a better understanding of coral ecosystems and work towards saving them.
