To receive our NEWSLETTER click here April 28, 2004 GROUPE MARITIME VERREAULT AND VERREAULT NAVIGATION OFFICIALLY LAUNCH V POINTS Following many months of research and development and client consultation, GROUPE MARITIME VERREAULT and VERREAULT NAVIGATION are pleased to finally announce the launch of their newly realised client-oriented, Rewards Program, V POINTS. Officially introduced to many of our clients at the GROUPE MARITIME VERREAULT suite during the 69th annual Grunt Club Dinner, V POINTS is a Rewards Program aimed at the host of loyal clients who regularly visit the shipyard for the maintenance and repair needs of their fleets. The program, who's concept should not be entirely foreign to those familiar with Air Miles (or other, similarly fashioned rewards programs), offers clients free repair and maintenance-related services, in exchange for points that have been accumulated following the completion of work on preceding vessels. Thus far, the program has elicited an extremely positive reaction from regular customers. To date, representatives from both GROUPE C.T.M.A. and SEAWAY MARINE TRANSPORT have expressed enthusiasm over this innovative approach to rewarding their repeat patronage. In the coming days, VERREAULT NAVIGATION's valued clients can expect a package outlining the details of this new, forward thinking and client oriented, initiatives program. We look forward to seeing each and every one of them take advantage of V POINTS as it has been developed with them in mind!
UPDATE ON RECENT YARD ACTIVITIES Currently in the dry dock, and lined up for end of the month departures are the TRANSPORT NANUK ro/ro heavy lift vessel, Aivik and the SHELL CANADA-owned / V.SHIPS-managed bunker barge M/T Arca. The M/T Arca, which has been on site for the past several months, will depart Les Méchins for Montréal with a skillfully installed, new, second hull. The Aivik has undergone repairs and maintenance at the VERREAULT facilities in preparation of an upcoming season of operations in various ports off the Eastern Arctic including communities in Nunavut and Nunavik. With the departure of these vessels and an already busy late winter / early spring season behind us, activities in the shipyard aren't showing any signs of slowing down for the remainder of the spring and early summer. Already confirmed for dry-docking in the coming weeks and months are the EASTERN CANADA TOWING tug, Pointe-Sept-Îles, FEDNAV's iceclass O.B.O. Arctic, COGEMA's Georges-Alexandre-Lebel and two S.T.Q. (SOCIÉTÉ DES TRAVERSIERS DU QUÉBEC) ferries, Jos Deschênes and the Félix Antoine Savard.
