BOURBON has placed its new Bourbon Evolution 810 inspection, maintenance and repair vessel into service under a long-term offshore contract in India. The vessel can operate in water depths up to 3,000 m and features an upgraded DP3 dynamic positioning system, two active heave-compensated cranes, and space for 105 personnel. The company says the vessel enters service as the global IMR market faces an aging fleet, providing modern support for deepwater developments. Its first assignment offshore India expands BOURBON's IMR capabilities as operators invest in asset integrity programmes.
