15 crew boats already delivered to Nigeria
Paris, June 25, 2006
After the 1830, Bourbon Offshore Interoil Nigeria has just received a new Surfer, the 1831, built by the West Atlantic Shipyard in Port Harcourt (Nigeria), a subsidiary of the French shipyard Piriou.The vessel has been registered with the Nigerian Maritime Authority, signaling the completion of the construction process. Kunle Areogun, sales manager for Bourbon Offshore Interoil Nigeria, notes that the Surfer 1831 "has a transport capacity of 25 persons, which makes it one of the lightest models in the Nigerian fleet. With this new model, we have a broader range of passenger transport services in the Nigerian ports, with capacities of 25, 40 and 60 persons". This Surfer 1831 is the second vessel built out of the order for four vessels announced when the joint venture was formed in December 2004. It is being used by Chevron Texaco for a one-year mission.
