As the vessel is equipped with a dual propulsion system, it can adapt power needs to the type of operation with diesel electric mode.

Bourbon chief operating officer Gaël Bodénès said: "Bourbon ordered this vessel in 2014 in order to complement the range of services we offer to the most demanding clients.

"Thanks to her unique winch and storage capacities and to her highest standards (clean & comfort class, DP 2, dual propulsion), she is the most powerful vessel in Bourbon’s fleet."
