The IMR vessels Fleet
As of February 6, 2008, BOURBON operated an IMR fleet of 11 modern vessels. These are multipurpose supply vessels (MPSV) whose design and equipment have been adapted to the special features of IMR.
Equipped with DP2 and even DP3 dynamic positioning technology and with active heave compensation cranes up to 100 tons at a depth of 3,000 meters of, the IMR vessels also have a large deck capacity and substantial accommodation capacities, up to 100 persons. Especially suited for IMR operations, these vessels also have all the cargo and logistical support capacities clients need for substantial flexibility of use.
The Supermajors Exxon, Shell, Total, BP as well as other oil companies have already entrusted BOURBON with the maintenance of their deepwater fields in West Africa under long-term contracts since 2004.
In order to keep pace with the growth in this new activity, in connection with the expansion of its plan to Horizon 2012, BOURBON placed an order for 10 GPA 696 design IMR vessels in the amount of 450 million euros. These vessels which are specifically adapted to this type of operations will be built in series by Chinese Sinopacific Shipyards at the Zhejiang site and will gradually be added to strengthen the existing fleet.
