BOURBON: Press release - Update on the research operations fo the
Bourbon Rhode crew
Marseilles, October 8, 2019
Update on the search operations of the
Bourbon Rhode crew
Following reports by two seafarers onboard the
Alp Striker during the night of Sunday to Monday, of signals that
they interpreted as potentially emanating from a distress flare,
the vessel immediately set a course for the area, in coordination
with the CROSS Antilles-Guyane. The CROSS called on 3 additional
commercial vessels to change course and head to the area reported
as being the origin of the signal. It also received air support
from U.S. authorities by way of the aircraft Hercules
C-130.
The search operations led by the Alp Striker,
involving namely drones, as well as the operations carried out by
the three other vessels, and the flyover by the U.S. aircraft
Hercules C-130, have delivered no result at this stage.
The crisis cells are pursuing their actions and
BOURBON’s teams are offering daily support to the families of
crewmembers of the Bourbon Rhode.
