BOURBON: Press Release - Rescue operation way for Bourbon Rhode
vessel
Marseilles, September 26, 2019
Rescue operation under way for the
Bourbon Rhode vessel
A rescue operation of a tug supply vessel
Bourbon Rhode under Luxembourg flag is under way, as the vessel was
in transit at 1 200 nautical miles off Martinique island and
60 nautical miles South-South East from the eye of category 4
hurricane “Lorenzo”. In particularly adverse weather conditions,
the 14 crew members are facing a water ingress in the rear part of
the vessel.
A crisis cell has immediately been activated and
it ensures the coordination, out of Marseilles, of the rescue of
the vessel and its crew, in close collaboration with authorities,
including the Regional Operational Center of Surveillance and
Rescue (CROSS) West Indies-Guyana. In order to bring the quickest
support possible, the CROSS has asked that bulk carrier “SSI
EXCELLENT” (229 m long) change its route and assist the Bourbon
Rhode. Situated at 200 nautical miles South, the bulk carrier is
expected to arrive on zone tomorrow morning (local time).
An update on crew and vessel situation will be
published as soon as possible.
