France Telecom Marine Changes Its Name To Orange Marine - Quick Facts

(RTTNews) - France Telecom Marine, the fully-owned subsidiary of Orange (ORAN) specializing in submarine cable laying and maintenance for the telecommunications sector, is changing its name to Orange Marine. The unit has been using the Orange brand for all its operations and interactions since July 1.

Three of its five cable ships are progressively being overhauled to reflect Orange's visual identity. The other two vessels that were acquired in 2010 will continue to operate under the brand Elettra for commercial reasons.

The name change fits in with the overall strategy of the parent company, Orange. To reflect this name change, Orange Marine has opened a new website today at www.orange.com/OrangeMarine.
