Crédit Maritime: the sea’s bank for over a century
Since 1906, Crédit Maritime has been the bank of those who value the sea. Historically present in the fishing and marine farming sectors, Crédit Maritime also supports the blue economy in its development challenges and transition.
In 2024, Crédit Maritime allocated over €150 million in funding to maritime activities. Concurrently, €35 million was invested in five dedicated funds, including our MER INVEST fund, supporting nearly 30 emblematic local companies.
Crédit Maritime and Energy Observer: the sea unifies us.
Because the sea is our heritage and our future, Crédit Maritime is committed to research and innovation with the Ocean Innovation Trophies, to decarbonizing transport (as a signatory of the velic pact), to preserving our maritime heritage through our Foundation and to protecting the oceans (founding member of the Vendée Globe Foundation).
A partner for over a century to maritime stakeholders, Crédit Maritime is the leading cooperative bank in the maritime world. Every day, entrepreneurs, researchers, and associations who work tirelessly for the development, promotion, and preservation of this essential yet fragile environment are supported.
As a longstanding partner of Energy Observer, we are delighted and incredibly proud to stand alongside Victorien Erussard and his crew, and to embark with them on this bold new venture!
