Solvay 106 had registration NF3074F and was built in Choisy-le-Roi in 1931. The information on this page was obtained from Vagus-Vagrant.fr unless otherwise stated.
Solvay 106 replaced an earlier wooden unpowered barge that Solvay had purchased second hand and then resold - see 'Solvay 106 Original'. When Solvay sold her to S.A. Granulats Rhone Alpes she was renamed Denis and re-registered as NY3785F. She has since been scrapped.
