Bourbon: Offshore Seismic Survey Vessel Success
, where it has carried out many refueling operations, including inline bunkering, in addition to towing work and crew rotations. Bourbon Fulmar is currently assisting the Viking Vanquish, a seismic vessel operating in Northern Europe. Importantly, the six support vessels operate on versatile hybrid propulsion systems to provide optimized fuel efficiency over a diverse range of tasks: diesel-electric power is often better suited for escort operations, while mechanical propulsion is used for maximum power in transit and during operations. The propulsion systems include Berg shaftlines, Caterpillar engines
