BOURBON: Press release - Update on the search operations of the
Bourbon Rhode crew
Marseilles, October 7, 2019
Update on the search operations of the
Bourbon Rhode crew
The three survivors of Bourbon Rhode’s crew
arrived yesterday in Fort de France on board the French Navy
frigate "Ventôse". They were welcomed by civil and military
authorities, and by BOURBON representatives. The three seafarers,
in good health, have been taken care of by the health structures
and have already been reunited with their families.
The bodies of the seafarers who died during the
sinking, were taken care of by the funeral services and will be
repatriated to their families.
BOURBON reminds that an exceptionally extensive
search operation, with maritime and air resources, has been
implemented since September 26 by the CROSS Antilles-Guyane,
responsible for managing and coordinating search and rescue
operations on behalf of the French maritime authorities. To date,
the search operations decided by the CROSS continues: the Alp
Striker vessel - a 90 m AHTS capable of operating over very long
distances - is still surveying the area to find the missing
seafarers and all merchant vessels operating in this area are
mobilized to set up an appropriate watch.
BOURBON teams are providing daily support to the
families of the crewmembers. Crisis cells are pursuing their action
and working very closely with the various stakeholders to
understand the facts and circumstances of this tragedy.
