December 2024 at the end of the Pondicherry causeway, the quay is being organized, we are waiting for the electrical connection and water in order to be able to continue the work on board the ST.
After the arrival of the first 3 containers, we are still waiting for a 4th and perhaps a 5th container.
These containers will allow the Association to store tools and consumables in order to free up space on the ST.

September 2025, after a very difficult winter of 2024-2025 without electricity or water, the metalwork is now almost complete. The electricity meter is operational on site, but we are still waiting for the connection to the drinking water supply, so we are resuming our restaurant operations.
