Transport and supply of offshore material
Our teams provide extensive professionalism in refueling and offshore equipment transport. Their priority? Making life easier for our clients in the oil and gas industry.
Our dedicated experts and our fleet of PSVs (Platform Supply Vessels) and SSVs (Seismic Support Vessels), enable us to cover all the needs that constitute the everyday life of a field.
The Marine Services Activity offers a wide range of services:
- supply of equipment and special products
- refueling
- personnel relief
- assistance and support during maintenance operations at sea
PSVS: reliable, efficient vessels
Our fleet of PSVs makes it possible to supply offshore installations with equipment and special products. These vessels ensure:
- the delivery of all types of equipment through an extensive deck area
- product storage in large capacity, versatile tanks via the Macs® system
- the transport of various products such as diesel, base oil, fresh and industrial water, methanol, etc.
The main advantages of our PSVs are:
- security: exceptional maneuverability and Class 2 dynamic positioning system (DP2) as well as a fire-fighting system
- optimized fuel consumption thanks to the diesel-electric propulsion
- technical reliability through standardization of major equipment
Strengths of Bourbon Liberty 150 and Bourbon Explorer 500 series
- Fuel efficient due to their diesel-electric propulsion
- Extremely maneuverable thanks to their Class 2 dynamic positioning system (DP2)
BOURBON has a fleet of 71 PSVs, including:
- 19 Bourbon Liberty 100 and 150 series vessels, featuring diesel-electric propulsion and DP2, with 30% more storage capacity than conventional vessels
- 19 Bourbon Explorer 500 series vessels, optimized for the resupplying of deepwater drilling rigs.
SSV: a series of custom-designed vessels
Our seismic support vessels have been designed to meet the specific needs of the geosciences industry.
They help provide various services:
- personnel relief
- fuel delivery
- storage
- assistance
- support during maintenance operations at sea
Their hybrid propulsion allows them to adapt to the different operational profiles of seismic vessels, providing an economical energy alternative, and therefore better management of fuel consumption.
Our skills for delivering safe operations
Training dedicated to key operations is based around:
- loading and unloading of parcels from the oil rig
- connecting and disconnecting loading hoses on the oil facility for the loading/unloading of products
Skill and safety are the hallmarks of the services offered by the Marine Services Activity. To do this, we rely on the training effort established by BOURBON for its employees.
