Named Atlas after the titan supporting the terrestrial globe, the platform is made up of 7 workstations for yachts up to 115 metres long and a shiplift that can haul up to 4300 tonnes.

The platform has the particularity of having been built on the historic n°1 slipway used by many tankers built in La Ciotat, making this new infrastructure a “bridge” between the past and the future of the industrial site.
