BOURBON orders four P105
BOURBON has signed a contract with Zhejiang Shipbuilding Co. Ltd in China concerning the construction of four ULSTEIN P105 platform supply vessels. Ulstein Design AS will deliver the design and major equipment for the vessels. The vessels will be delivered between September 2007 and September 2008.
BOURBON has already taken delivery of two type ULSTEIN P105 vessels from
Ulstein Verft. “Bourbon Topaz” was delivered in February 2005 and “Bourbon
Peridot” towards the end of October 2005. “We have decided to contract four
additional equivalent vessels because of the market’s response to those vessels
and our positive experience with them,” says Managing Director Trond Myklebust
of Bourbon Offshore Norway.
BOURBON has experience of ship construction in China and particularly at the shipyard concerned, Zhejiang Shipbuilding Co. Ltd. The shipping company has a series of medium sized platform supply vessels under construction at Zhejiang Shipbuilding Co. Ltd, the first of which have already been delivered. “The yard has proved to us that it can build sophisticated vessels with diesel electric propulsion and DP2. This experience was absolutely vital vis-à-vis this new project,” says Trond Myklebust.
