General – Crewboats
BOURBON reinforces its 15-year collaboration with ExxonMobil in Angola, announcing the signing of a five-year contract for the charter of new 34-meter vessels to transfer personnel between Soyo and Block 15, 80 miles offshore.
These new crewboats have been tailor-made to meet the customer’s operational requirements: enhanced passenger transfer capacity, optimized comfort, energy
efficiency and technical reliability.
These new units will replace the 32m crewliners currently in service, and embody a major evolution in terms of efficiency, reliability, design and on-board technologies.
Combining performance and sobriety, they boast a cruising speed of up to 38 knots, a reduction in fuel consumption of over 10/15% compared with the previous generation, and an enhanced passenger experience to offer a premium standard on board.
The vessels are a.o. equipped with 60 passenger seats with enhanced comfort and 18 m2 of foredeck space, for small parcels.
Deployed on Block 15, these new vessels will complete a Surfers fleet of five units.
