She is owned by Abeilles International, but is operated since the 14/12/1979 by the Marine Nationale. Her mission is to perform and secure the assisting operations in the maritime zones with an important trafic.

Based in Cherbourg until october 2005, her new operation region is the Cantabrian Sea. Ready in 20min., Abeille Languedoc departs once the winds are over 25knots.
