BOURBON: Press release - Update on search operations for Bourbon
Rhode
Marseilles, September 29, 2019
Update on search operations for Bourbon
Rhode
The search for tug supply vessel Bourbon Rhode
continues with the full support of Cross AG (Regional Operational
Center of Surveillance and Rescue) and the French navy, under the
authority of the Prefect representing the French national maritime
authority. Five commercial vessels have changed course in order to
bring assistance to the rescue teams. A Falcon 50 of the French
navy as well as the aircraft of the American National Hurricane
Center (NHC) conducted numerous overflights of the search area. The
French navy’s surveillance frigate “Ventôse” and “Panther”
helicopter will intervene tomorrow, September 30.
Yesterday, in the beginning of the night, a
capsized fast rescue craft was spotted first by the NHC aircraft
and then by the Falcon 50. A commercial vessel engaged in the
operation is currently headed in its direction in order to try to
recover it.
BOURBON’s crisis cell and teams remain fully
mobilized to keep track of the situation and maintain contact with
the families of the crew members, bringing them their full support
in this difficult time.
A new update on the situation will be published
soon.
