Shipping Telegraph: Bourbon charters six new crewboats to Eni Congo for five years

The French headquartered offshore energy tonnage provider Bourbon has announced the signature of a five-year contract with Eni Congo for the renewal of its crewboat fleet.

The new signed contract covers the charter of six new and latest-generation S200X-G2 units, scheduled to be commissioned progressively between June and December 2026.

Pending delivery, six front runners will be temporarily mobilized to ensure operational continuity from the start of the contract.

The six new units, developed to meet Eni’s operational and environmental requirements, are based on the design of Surfers 200x-G delivered in 2024.

These 20-meter vessels will offer 30 passenger seats with enhanced comfort and 25 m² of foredeck space for carrying small parcels.

The six new units will operate on the Eni offshore fields supporting their 2 FNLG units, with reinforced operational support from Bourbon Congo.

“With this new fleet, we are reinforcing our commitment to offshore mobility that is more sustainable, more efficient and perfectly aligned with the expectations of our major customers,” said François Leslé, CEO of Bourbon Mobility.
