Bonsoir, Postes au Conseil.
Following the request from the Parisian Assembly to repurpose Haute-Seine from civillian to military production, we've finally completed all the necessary adjustments, i've attached the full report for convenience.
Haute-Seine has halved its current civillian vessel production, it was decided that we have enough of a stockpile to see us through to the end of this conflict and this frees up a lot of capacity for us to dedicate entirely to military production.
The main berths have seen production of Pachyderme and Vache class vessels halted entirely, and have been dedicated to producing Taureau and Ardent class vessels. The Armoured Transport and Gunboat both share the same chassis and as such are ideal for construction alongside each other. The teams on the ground had a few teething problems adapting the construction equipment to the new chassis but have made good headway in that department and we estimate production should commence within the next few days.
Secondary fighter-craft berths have been adapted to produce the newest NG line of military craft. Converting the berths was much simpler than that of the larger vessels and production has already commenced and is operating at 110% efficiency. We're paying all workers double time for any extra they are willing to work and the incentive seems to be working, with a 43% increase in hours worked.
The rest of the berths remain dedicated to civillian ship production but we can use the lessons learned from converting the others and apply it here if production requires it. Any spare capacity is being dedicated to the construction of components of capital-class vessels on request from the military shipyards, we're ensuring that all shipping and handling is being covered by us as to expedite any requests we recieve.
In addition to the above report, i'd like to suggest a request to the Gallic Metal Service to increase shipping of raw materials direct to the station so our stockpiles remain full enough that production can continue unabated.
