It's not thrue that the "Mérou" was mng by Les Abeilles in 1986 ! At that time les Abeilles have lost the contract with the French Navy for Mediterranean Sea and the "Abeille Provence" was replaced by the "King Fish" at Toulon.
So in 1986 the "King Fish" is still mng by Fish
In 1987 renamed "Mérou" and still mng by Fish
In 1996 when Fish was sold to Seacor the contract with the French Navy was then back in the hands of Les Abeilles and then the "Mérou" was mng by Les Abeilles Internationales.
Best regards
