BOURBON LIBERTY 218 SNC

Bourbon Liberty 218 is a vessel operated by the BOURBON group. The BOURBON group is a leading provider of marine services for the offshore oil and gas industry. They provide a wide range of services, including offshore installation, maintenance, towage, anchor handling, and the transportation of personnel and equipment.


The Bourbon Liberty 218 specifically is a platform supply vessel (PSV) that provides logistics and supply services to offshore platforms. These vessels are critical in supporting offshore oil and gas operations, ferrying essential supplies such as drilling mud, cement, diesel, water, food, and equipment from the shore to the offshore worksites.


Characteristics and capabilities of a typical Bourbon Liberty-class vessel might include features such as:



  • Dynamic positioning (DP) systems, often DP2, which allow the vessel to maintain its position precisely using thrusters and propellers.

  • Large deck space for carrying cargo.

  • Tanks for transporting various types of fluids, like oil, water, and drilling mud.

  • Advanced navigation and communication systems.


While I don't have real-time data, the most current and detailed information would typically be available on specialized maritime databases or the official BOURBON group's website. Operational specifics like the exact dimensions, capacity, build date, and current deployment of the Bourbon Liberty 218 can usually be found on these resources.
