The SGCD MMNA is attached to the National Customs Coastguard Directorate (DNGCD), whose headquarters are located in Le Havre. It is organised around two distinct divisions: the supervision and management division, which is responsible for the organic management of the units, and the operational management division, which organises the use of the units’ operational potential. It includes a maritime customs operations centre (CODM) that provides 24-hour operational control of resources on mission and deploys them on various surveillance and control operations. It also includes a technical unit consisting of two coastal naval technical advisors (RTNF) responsible for monitoring the operational condition of all naval resources attached to the SGCD. In this capacity, they oversee the service’s maintenance and improvement programmes for patrol boats, repair work following damage, and participate in monitoring the budgetary execution of the prescribed work.

The RTNF is therefore responsible for the maintenance, servicing and safety policy for the SGCD MMNA’s naval resources, which consist of two 43-metre Socarenam patrol boats (DFP1 in Boulogne and DFP2 in Brest); one 32-metre Socarenam VGC (DF32 in La Rochelle); one 32-metre OCEA VGC (DF37 in Dunkirk); one 28-metre Socarenam VGC (DF27 in Cherbourg); two 28-metre Couach VGCs (DF36 in Lorient and DF46 in Saint Malo); 3 14 m Chantier Bernard VSRs (DF62 in Granville, DF65 in Saint Nazaire, DF68 in Henday).

The naval maintenance unit is attached to the SGCD’s Supervision and Management Division (PSG) and is composed of two Category A RTNFs.

Under the functional authority of the national naval technical manager (RTNN) and the DNGCD’s Operational Maintenance Division (DMCO), the RTNFs are responsible for preventive, corrective and emergency maintenance of naval assets, both in terms of technical aspects and safety. This includes, among other things, planning maintenance and refits, management, advice and follow-up in the event of damage.

Its main areas of expertise are as follows:

planning annual naval maintenance, including that of radio navigation and communication equipment: technical shutdown and refit, in conjunction with the SGCD’s operational control centre (OPS PLAN),

The members of the naval maintenance unit work together to ensure continuity of service throughout the year.
